I don't understand why they put limits on these: must have been diagnosed before age 16, must have been diagnosed before age 46. GenX didn't get their issues diagnosed or treated, they were just told to suck it up and get on with it, and I know several who had to drop out of the workforce because of it.

Oh, good. Three hours in crowded tourist attractions on a Saturday afternoon, and six hours in bars and restaurants on Friday and Saturday nights. Plus eight hours touring campuses just a couple weeks before spring "super-spreader" break - with a disease who's characteristic rash turns up around Day 14. This can only end well ...

Same shit musk did when he was tanking Xitter - remember Halli?

It's not an unreasonable concern, no. But I'd rather the community be active and growing than address something that's not currently an issue.

That - that interpretation never even occurred to me ...

2024: Us: They're going to do Project 2025! Them: What? Us: Project 2025! Them: What's that? Us: Here! thump Them: tl:dr lol. Us: sigh. makes simple charts Them: Oh, he'd never do that! Him: I don't know what you're talking about! Them: See! You people are always taking things out of context and over-reacting! Us: Is it worth the risk? Them: Fucking libtard doomscrollers, tryin' to let everyone have things for free. votes [R]

2025: Them: Oh. ... Oh! ... Wait, no!

If anyone plans to go to any of his upcoming appearances, just fyi the Pearl and Center Street courthouses are literally right next to each other.

If they really wanted to make a change, they'd let prison firefighters become real firefighters after they got out of jail.

How do you handle returns, defective merchandise, warranties? If I buy something from you and something goes wrong with it, I'm not going to like being fobbed off with "hey, go talk to Tina". If they return-ship something to you instead of Tina, who pays to ship it back to Tina?

What's the stethoscope theory?

There are so many things parents worry about - is their kid doing okay in school, are they getting along with others, are they into drugs, are they pregnant/got someone pregnant, are they being peer-pressured into shoplifting or drinking or whatever.

This? This is absolutely not something a parent is going to get upset about, except for being concerned to your health, getting it fixed, and preventing it happening again. Talk to your parents.

Planes just falling out of the sky!

Corporations are people, you say? Then some should be getting the death penalty.

How do you handle banking? So many places no longer allow Americans to have bank accounts because of the reporting requirements, or did that change when I wasn't looking?

Republicans said the requirement could motivate people to find employment — maybe even a job that comes with health insurance. [...] [They] buy their sandwiches from the food truck with their food stamps

Republicans are extremely deluded about real life.

Thing is, I haven't really seen the Democrats prepare for anything.

If this goes through (I hope it doesn't, but don't know enough about Montana to say), folks should be aware that there's a third FDA-approved covid vaccine that doesn't use the mRNA technology. It's a more traditional protein subunit vaccine and it's called NovaVax. It's slightly less effective than the mRNA vaccines, but there's data showing that the resistance lasts a bit longer.

"Move fast, break things." Except when it's the government, you really don't want to break things.

In my state, they (along with the Emergency Broadcast System) were part of the civil defense network created during the Cold War. They were initially intended for war, imminent threat of war, or other national crises. Their brief was later expanded to be used for state and local emergencies. Exactly what they're used for (tornadoes, tsunamis, flood warning, etc) and under what conditions they can be used, depends on your state and local officials.

I'd also add that the government has tried to be rather restrictive about what conditions it could be used under. They want the siren use to be unusual enough that people respond to it as it there's an actual emergency. Unlike, for example, the fire drills you'd have in school or work, where people would debate whether to bother leaving their desks, head back to the office to get their things, etc.

Many of those arrested have been flown back to their native lands or sent to the prison on the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, while some have been released to live in the United States pending court proceedings.

Where are all the reich-wingers screaming about catch-and-release?
