  • Okay now turn on your brain and use it on this nonsense article....

    How can a doctor know the identity and motive of the shooter by looking at a wound?

    Were these magic doctors?

  • Largest law firm in the world, 10,000 lawyers. Not surprised some got together and sent an unsigned letter.

  • There will forever be conspiracies about how Biden always planned on being a one-term president and was never serious about winning the nomination.

  • This is not an area of law I stay up to date on, but that did not used to be the case. Is that a rather new development?

    Last I knew most courts were holding that since customers are sharing this information with third parties (sharing with their phone companies, Apple and Google, Facebook, etc.), giving everything away anyway, most individuals have waived any claim to an expectation of privacy. The right to privacy is founded upon reasonable expectations. I did hear about some pushback on that, more recently, but not from the Court of Appeals from DC, which has jurisdiction over appeals taken from federal agencies, prior to the Supreme Court. I'd be grateful to be shown otherwise. About time, if true.

  • Yeah but the most belligerent of them are useful idiots for Iran and Russia, carrying literal Nazi flags and setting themselves on fire.

  • Search and seizure, the Fourth Amendment, only applies to State actors. The only exception is when a private entity is acting as an agent of the government, such as in the case of private prisons.

    Congress needs to pass consumer protection laws aimed at privacy in the digital age. They haven't updated this sort of thing I believe since 1996. It used to be legal for adult video stores to disclose the tapes people rented, but Congress passed a privacy law forbidding it when some journalists disclosed some of their rentals. The scandal had some cool name. I forgot what.

  • What kind of utter nonsense are you talking about?

    Of course they want Stein off the ballot. She's a spoiler candidate funded by Russians and trumpists who are trying to get Trump back into the White House. She's not a legitimate candidate, she has no chance of winning, and she has personally destroyed the credibility of the green party.

    E: Oh I get it. You're being sarcastic. Alright this is kind of funny but without a tag /s stupidity is indistinguishable.

  • Four more years? I'm worried about four more months. Every month I am surprised.

  • I remember this. They lost it.

    Everyone knew for decades that a zoonotic corona virus was coming. We even knew it would likely come from China.

    There was a whole plan for what to do. Treatment strategies, logistics, economic and national security issues, and Trump's people literally said they lost it.

  • Had a laugh picturing this. You have to use a call to action to get people to help you get through. Get them to look at you and then look the way you're going, and start tapping shoulders to help you through. "Coming through" "make a hole" "help me through please." As you catch people's attention, nod and gesture to direct their attention forward. It's like surfing. You'll catch waves. Helps to be male with a sobering voice I think.

  • I can feel it coming in the air tonight.

  • The people and prices are insane. The behavior is one thing, but the sheer number of people crammed into these tiny spaces is so uncomfortable and unpleasant. I'm alllllll set with that.

    Look, the endorphins and other neurotransmitters that come from floating through the air on that big swing or down the giant slide are the same whether you're in Orlando or Oneida. Who needs all the other bullshit of Florida.

    Maybe the one in California isn't as unappealing. There, at least you're in California and not Florida.

  • Yeah that's scary shit. My feeling is that to the extent there is a such thing as the deep state, it consists of these entrenched military and intelligence institutions, powers, and traditions, and when it comes to Trump vs. the Constitution, my money is on the deep state doing the right thing. They're not just going to let themselves all be replaced leaving no adults in the room. As soon as it became obvious that that was the plan and it starting to happen, I predict, with my magic crystal ball, a military counter coup, which might take a variety of forms, perhaps even ones appearing to be natural causes. I don't know, I try not to make predictions because they always come true and now I feel like I'm causing the things to happen. /s

  • Very well. The other night was at a fall festival and they had some carnys pushing carts filled with toys and balloons, you know, plastic swords, plastic guns, snaps, stink bombs, and blow up guitars, etc., and they all had a bunch of flags for sale, including, at the very top, a bunch of made in China trump shit.

    I saw one carney, who was black, and he did not have trump shit. So when it was time to let the kiddo pick a toy or something, I said he could buy from that carney. And I struck up a convo by offering that it was his lack of Trump shit that got him this sale; an important thing, I think, to tell retailers of this sort. We dapped it up for a second and he was looked at me like, "come the fuck on, obviously there's no trump shit on my cart." He said one of the other Carneys told him how much more money he could make, and how he asked the other guy back, "man, are you fucking stupid?" Nice guy.

  • Nah, it was a letter signed by a bunch of doctors to some medical society or another.
