Seriously, one need only read a single paragraph of that page.

Under RICO, a person who has committed "at least two acts of racketeering activity" drawn from a list of 35 crimes (27 federal crimes and eight state crimes) within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering if such acts are related in one of four specified ways to an "enterprise."[1]

So they need to name two crimes in that category. In the world of legalese, this is honestly so easy to understand.

Yeah, just like bare shoulders and ankles, I think people will get used to it over time.

Yeah, a lot of women are rebelling against the idea that you have to wear a bra to look "professional". Truly people should be able to do what makes them comfortable. I wish I could go bra-less, but my back would give out before the end of the day.

Here in darkness, everything's okay. Listen to the waves and let them fade away. Here comes a thought.

Here Comes a Thought from Steven Universe was genuinely life-changing for me. It's all about mindfulness and allowing yourself to process negative thoughts without punishing yourself for having them.

This episode came when I was really struggling with anxiety, like multiple crying breakdowns a week. It finally lead me to getting therapy and I'm in a much better place now, but I still come back to it when I'm feeling overwhelmed.

How dare you say we piss on the poor

using a devastating neurological diseases as an insult, is wrong, but using it a a reason that he shouldn't run a country is fair.

If it's a disease he's suffering from, which is not something I'm confident of. The image above chooses a particular representation of the posture caused by the disease that happens to match, but it is far from a fully representative expression of that symptom. The behavioral symptoms listed are likewise picked specifically for their fitness to Trump, and a brief search doesn't show any descriptions of the disease that go into that much detail about the associated behavioral issues. That's all to say, it's a meme, not a fact.

fair. Also, is he trying to make his Poor judgement, Loss of Empathy, Socially Inappropriate Behavior, Lack of Inhibition, Inability to Concentrate or Plan, Frequent Abrupt Mood Changers, Speech Difficulties, and Memory Loss hang in a more flattering way?

All perfectly valid reasons to deem him unfit for office, so why make up more? This and comments on his (or anyone's) appearance only distract from the multitude of very valid issues with him. I mean you only need a video of him speaking to see that he vomits verbal diarrhea at every opportunity and only cares about himself, why do we need to assign it to some malady?

Were I to believe that most people spreading this actually thought he had some form of dementia, then fine, that's a valid reason to call him unfit. But I don't believe that, and it sets a poor precedent going forward to call attention away from his open bigotry and genuinely horrific policies to bring up these invented illnesses that aren't actually going to change anyone's mind. It only serves as an insult to make people who already dislike him feel better and give his supporters and fence-sitters more reason to ignore factually founded opposition. Look forward to this for every election.

I mean all you really have to do is post quotes right from the horse's mouth. If those don't speak to his issues, nothing will.

Don't forget when Romney got beat. Romney, hey. Did you see his? I wonder if he enjoyed his flight in last night. But when Romney got beaten, you know, he stands up like you're more typical, "Well, I'd like to congratulate the victor." The victor? Who is the victor, Mitt? "I'd like to congratulate." They don't go and look at the facts. No, I don't know. He got, he got slaughtered. Probably, maybe it was OK, maybe it was. But that's what happened.

I hate the guy but don't really like using real, devastating neurological diseases as an insult. It seems much more likely that he's just trying to make his suit hang in a more flattering way.

I love mockingbirds, I'd love to see something this detailed of them in flight with those lovely white spots, but I imagine that's not an easy shot to get

The Tom Saab mentioned in the article, unsurprisingly, owns a lot of rental properties on that beach. So it's asking the government to protect his risky investment.

Models suggest that the concentration of chlorine and other ozone-depleting substances in the stratosphere will not return to pre-1980 levels until the middle decades of the 21st century. Scientists have already seen the first definitive proof of ozone recovery, observing a 20 percent decrease in ozone depletion during the winter months from 2005 to 2016. In 2019, abnormal weather patterns in the upper atmosphere over Antarctica dramatically limited ozone depletion, leading to the smallest hole since 1982. Models predict that the Antarctic ozone layer will mostly recover by 2040.

The mental health care thing is so frustrating.

Let's enact some gun control laws because most guns used in mass shootings are bought legally.

"No, it's a mental health issue!"

Well, then let's fund mental health services and increase access to them.

"No, that's not my problem."

Played out again and again. I mean I know it's all just deflection, but dammit at least try to have a consistent position.

Is this true? An article from 2022 indicates things are getting better, just slowly

Today, the ozone hole still exists, forming every year over Antarctica in the spring. It closes up again over the summer as stratospheric air from lower latitudes is mixed in, patching it up until the following spring when the cycle begins again. But there’s evidence it’s starting to disappear – and recover more or less as expected, says Solomon. Based on scientific assessments, the ozone layer is expected to return to pre-1980 levels around the middle of the century. Healing is slow because of the long lifespan of ozone-depleting molecules. Some persist in the atmosphere for 50 to 150 years before decaying.

Knowing how easily someone could figure out who I am, I am very cautious to never say anything on the internet that I wouldn't back up in real life. Keeps me honest, I guess, or at the very least consistent.

A game with a working version on the same platform and distribution program, no less!

They are trying their damndest with this and going after IVF, but so far it hasn't moved the needle too much.

Sorry, I mistook you as indicating a casual relationship between the two. I do hope to find some data on the issue once I have time.

While I disagree wholeheartedly with the relevant law, this is an incredibly dangerous argument to make against it. It insinuates an innate propensity towards sexual aggression and ignores many other factors that might occur alongside such laws.

Texas makes up nearly half of the US's domestic oil production, no way in hell they'd ever let that go.

Later article:

Ellreese Daniels, 47, faced a maximum of six months in prison after he reached a deal with prosecutors. That deal dropped the charges he faced from manslaughter to two counts of making false statements to investigators.

I mean getting 4 people killed isn't that bad, right?
