Also, searches for climate change.

Now what do you think we would be hearing non stop if it was done to team blue?
To be fair to Google — most of the political emails I get do read as spam. And are about as annoying. The only question would be if the DNC ones get through (which I suspect they do), but maybe stop hectoring anyone who ever showed any interest in your party with constant “We just need $5 more to stop the APOCALYPSE!”, jerks.
Somehow I get pandering fundraising emails from Republicans and Democrats alike. My favorite are the ones from Donald Trump himself with subjects like “I’d love to hear your opinion”.
I would send money if they send me an email with pics of Obama, Biden, and the Clintons wearing orange jump suits and making my next set of license plates…
I’m sure they’d be happy to photoshop that for $20, same as downtown.
Photoshop not accepted. I want that for real or not…. Next you will tell me to date some lady that was born with a wiener to prove my props…
During the 2004 election I worked for an email company and the DNC was one of our customers. They called on election day complaining that their emails weren’t going through, and they had lawyers at the ready to file suit if we didn’t resolve their issue. I suspect the DNC has been far more aggressive far longer, and therefore their emails go through at GMail.
I was amused by an ActBlue ad that came through my FB feed, which had the disclaimer “not affiliated with Meta”.
It is now spelled Goeggles.
“We own the science.”
“All three southern Indiana judges, who were in town for a judicial conference at the time, were noted to have been drinking heavily prior to standing in the parking lot of the restaurant, according to testimony during Kaiser’s trial.”
Does anyone ever eat White Castle sober?
Not even drunk. If I feel like eating ass, I eat real ass.
*cough* Waffle House *cough*
That’s like comparing Chez Pierre to McDonald’s, man. WH is at least reasonable diner food, White Castle is just a crime against humanity.
*raises hand*
White Castle is my guilty pleasure. When I commuted from Duloot to the Cities, I would sometimes stop there for breakfast of the way down, and for supper on the way home.
Someone put that Indiana Jones Last Crusades meme of the old night saying “You chose poorly” here, please…

And the sad thing is that some idiots will fall for it because TEAM!
Some?
Some people are outside the bubbles.
Well some people aren’t idiots voting for TEAM either. I thought we were talking about TEAM voters – in which case, some should be most.
But there are two teams…
Never mind.
Yep. Me and everyone else.
See also, water treatment, power grid, any infrastructure… I’m sure PG&E dug up a Republican from somewhere in this state or the West Coast in general to blame their crappy maintenance on. If nothing else, the donkeys around here always fall back to Prop 13 (because they hates it, nasty hobbits!) and/or Reagan’s time as governor. All ills stem from that time period, they just need another 100 years or so of power… then we’ll achieve Utopia (when all their enemies are dead).
They can’t run out of enemies, ever. It’s a fundamental requirement for the True Believer.

“We’ll Make More!”
3. CLIMATE CHANGE!!!
Unlike W (and most other GOPe), DeSantis and his press secretary seem perfectly capable of (and willing to) hit back. I don’t expect any of that crap will stick. “Why aren’t you God? Why didn’t you control the weather?” Morons.
The machine knows that if you push lies and nasty false accusations long enough, not only do you reach the usual idiots, but you wear down the resistance of those not immediately willing to believe the ideocracy.
Team blue will accuse anyone that is politically dangerous to them of being the latest incarnation of Hitler, but should those turn coats suddenly start defending the deep state, they become heroes. See how they treat Liz Cheney, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, for example.
Darth Cheney isn’t going to use his weather control device to help extremists.
The bill was among several measures introduced by members of a Legislative Vaccine Work Group, who authored measures to bolster the state’s response to the pandemic and combat misinformation.
You start to wonder, how does Pfizer have such a broad reach? In this case it’s pretty obvious though. They made tens of billions of dollars, and legislators are for sale.
I’m just glad the mandate for all school kids (including home school) with no exemptions got canned for now. That was going to be an “instant move out of the state” line. We’ll just have to see.
Watching them tighten the screws is getting pretty amusing. People aren’t falling for their shit anymore.
“Children’s Philadelphia gender clinic co-founder says she conducts research on homeless youth
Addressing the National Institutes of Health, Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania (CHOP) Gender Clinic co-founder Naida Dowshen revealed that she recruited research subjects from a youth homeless shelter.”
https://thepostmillennial.com/childrens-philadelphia-gender-clinic-co-founder-says-she-conducts-research-on-homeless-youth
CHOP?
Someone vying for the Mengele award?
According to Eileen, this clinic is funded through Title X of the Public Health Service Act.
CHOP has come under fire after it was revealed that the hospital provides medicalized gender transitions for minors, including through surgical or pharmaceutical means.
I’m not sure our society can get any more perverse or evil.
Instigating nuclear war would do it.
Have mercy, she’s a predator and proud of it. That’s really messed up.
Cutting off kids’ genitalia for profit isn’t the problem, it’s the people that get incensed by that fact that need to be dealt with. Who the hell do these stethoscope wearing cocksuckers think they are? The AMA: yet another formerly respected organization that eat a dick.
And even worse, I apparently agree with Eyepatch McCain on this issue. I feel so dirty.
There is a reason he got elected… And it’s that season again. Don’t beat yourself up over it.
I feel the people that need to be punished is the fucking idiot parents that think destroying their already mentally compromised child’s mental ability completely so they can score woke points.
Certainly them and the Mengele level doctors, the administration, and the water carriers for this kind of insane garbage. Any society that not only ignores this but stands up for it should be destroyed.
We are being forced to pretend serious and deadly mental disorder is something to encourage and finance more of…
Somehow, without anyone voting on it or a public debate in any legislature – the government is paying for these procedures.
These messed up kids and their broken families aren’t paying $30k+ for elective procedures. It’s us. Our tax dollars and / or our medical premiums are covering this horror. Who decided this?
Experts.
I thought it was part of Obamacare, but the language is rather vague.
“yet another formerly respected organization that eat a dick”
Maybe that’s why they are cutting them off.

I work on the West Coast for a major tech company near Silicon Valley. I try not to get anywhere near politics at work for at least 6 years now.
Just yesterday, had a coworker mention in a Zoom meeting that she was a bit off her game because her 6 month old was cranky after the first round of vaccines (which apparently the pediatrician thought was just peachy to do all at once… reportedly *nine* shots. For a 6 month old.) And of course, specifically cited was COVID and flu shots.
For a 6 month old.
I seriously wanted to ask just how bad they thought the flu would be for a baby that age, if there was a problem with immunodeficiency and if she ever gave risk analysis a passing thought, but I bit my tongue. She’s a nice person, as are most of my coworkers… but I live in a very different thought bubble at times.
I think there’s a couple more of us out in the Midwest, but I don’t want to out them to ask. And of course our company (like all tech ones) are all about diversity for the different points of view. Just not wrongthink. Blech.
It’s just depressing how stupid people can be. Thank God it’s National Vodka Day.
*takes swig*
I am a gin, whiskey, or bourbon guy, but I guess I can do a bloody Mary for the day…
I work with people in NoVA. I don’t know how bad they are compared to Silicon Valley but there are definitely a lot of Covidians up there.
Yeah, the number of vaccines they give babies now is unreal.
Cowpoke’s pediatrician, fortunately sees this, and encourages a spaced out vaccine program, that omits some of the “less necessary” vaccines. He also doesnt encourage the flu shot, and believes the covid vaccine is dangerous. I’m really glad we have him. Interestingly enough, he was my pediatrician when I was a young gun.
We spaced out the jabs with the first kid, but our pediatrician for the second one said that we could get along just fine with the ones she got at the hospital. We may get her the DTaP eventually, but feel zero desire to get the rest of them.
IIRC the flu actually is pretty dangerous to infants/toddlers. COVID on the other hand…. Let’s just say when my 14 month old had it, he didn’t even notice. And he gets runny noses ALL the time from daycare.

“Gas Price Hits Record High $6.466 in Los Angeles; Soars Past June High”
OPEC+ just agreed to cut back 1.1 million barrels a day and Obama’s Biden handlers have all but emptied the national reserves (creating a crisis situation for the US). You ain’t seen nothing yet. The prices are going up again. And that is what the fucking reseters want.
The comments did not disappoint.

“California doctors could lose licenses for spreading unapproved COVID-19 info”
This is done to protect the little guy! From knowing things that would make them realize the people in charge are not just inept but evil. They want to loot the valuables on the sinking Titanic without interruption from the people they plan to leave on the sinking ship because they need the life rafts to carry their loot.
They will blame Trump-Putin and/or DeathSantis-Hitler for the evil government picks winners & losers shit they believe in….
Nah man, nah, everything’s fine…
“The American Medical Association (AMA) sent Attorney General Merrick Garland a letter Monday calling on him to “investigate the organizations, individuals, and entities coordinating, provoking, and carrying out bomb threats and threats of personal violence against children’s hospitals and physicians across the U.S.””
Last I checked there was no evidence of a bomb threat except the hospital claiming they received a bomb threat.
“Multiple media outlets reported hospitals across the country promoted gender transitions to minors, including ones at Vanderbilt University, the University of Virginia and the University of Wisconsin. Hospitals responded by taking down videos and websites discussing transitions for children.”
So let me see if I get this correctly. The AMA wants Big Tech to stop people such as Libs if Tik Tok and Gays Against Groomers from posting about what hospitals publish on their own publicly available websites because that’s “misleading”and an “intentional campaign of disinformation”?
Anyone that exposes the evils of the machine and their great reset is a terrorist…
Hey, it worked for school boards!
The AMA is an extension of the government and the pharmaceutical companies. It is a wholly corrupt organization that has colluded in cartel price fixing for decades.
I only hope all of these institutions burn up what little credibility they have left before they destroy the rest of us.
Yes although your list isn’t exhaustive by a long shot. They can’t argue their case so they just want everyone to be STFU.

‘inventory was on the rise from May to July but stalled in August, according to Black Knight.’

Considering I’m seeing news stories about how the economic downturn is helping businesses such as Aldi’s and Applebee’s as “wealthy” shoppers shift their spending from more upscale places to cheaper alternatives. News guys… that’s not exactly a rosy picture you’re painting there.

‘Major Medical Orgs Demand That The DOJ Prosecute People Who Share ‘Misleading’ Information Online’
I’m starting to really hate these right wing spin headlines. This is extremely misleading, since they only requested they go after people posting threats.
Now, wood chippers and all, but that is a lot more nuanced than the headline suggests.
“organizations, individuals, and entities coordinating, provoking”
Not just those individuals calling in threats but also people and orgs who relay the information.
👆👆
They’re not content to go after the violent actors. They want to take down those who provide the information that inspires them.
Words are violence after all.
Hmm, I may have to retract my statement. Depends what you mean by ‘coordinating, provoking’, but it is hard to come to any other conclusion to what they’re really asking for…
Technically if you coordinate and provoke someone to a specific criminal act, then you would also be committing a crime of incitement. But yeah, they would prefer the much more inclusive view of those terms, rather than the narrow view I presented above.
These organizations have been very clear that anyone criticizing transism, or even just reposting what the docs and hospitals post online publicly, are responsible for subsequent “threats”.
Apparently, they count things such as name-calling and protests as “threats”.
“since they only requested they go after people posting threats”
Do they have any examples?
I’ll take “Now they’re just fucking with us” for $1000, Alex.

‘Orning ‘ordles — Preliminary round was almost chump-tastic (one or two stupid guesses and you’re close to the line, but that’s why it is the warm up round). Main event also tiptoed near the minefield… but frankly, given the words for today — I’m happy just to have made it through. LL was extra fun since due to the seeds I chose, I got to burn 3 guesses with no hints on the middle letters… could have been so many things. That’s why I tackled the other words first.. .but it gave me *nothing*. Sure y’all will do better, you almost always do! 😉
But honestly, Quordle felt like “Now they’re just fucking with us” for $2000.

This is my preferred opening as white. And I know that the 3rd move for black is a possible move, but at my level NO ONE plays it against me, so I had no idea how to continue after it. I figured out white’s 4th move, but because it didn’t make sense with black’s 5th move, I never played it…because I didn’t see black’s 4th move.
The funny thing is, my preferred line is great, I have lots of fun with it. But, there is a move for black on move 5 that completely nullifies it – forces the game to a very boring end game that is pretty much a guaranteed draw (for good players). This is why my opening isn’t played at grandmaster level.
In literally hundreds of games in which I got my first 5 moves in as I want, how many times have my opponents played that proper move on their 5th turn? Zero. Absolutely zero. I know some day I am going to have to give up playing my opening, but that day isn’t any time soon.

I decided, not today, but in general, that quordle should be scored not by total sum, but by low-ball poker rules.
So a 1,2,3,9 is worse than a 5,6,7,8.

Leftist Media Slavering To Turn The Tragedies Of Hurricane Ian Into Ron DeSantis’s Katrina
Leftist never fail to attempt to capitalize on a tragedy. Too bad for them DeSantis is competent.
The left can never run on their actual agenda or achievements, because these are both horror stories. That’s why their strategy is to call all their opponents Hitlers, Putin’s operatives (notice it is never Xi’s operatives for some reason that should be obvious by now), racists, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and so on….
This video has Nancy Pelosi basically going back to the the roots of the pre civil war dnc with the following call out : “We need them to pick the crops”……
That’s how you go back to your roots….
In the long run, US slaves turned out to be the most expensive labor in history.
Slavery, sadly, was inevitable before the industrial revolution both because of the nature of war and economics of the pre-industrial world. Without machines to do the heavy lifting, societies needed manual labor to produce the most basic of necessities, putting a horrible strain on any economic system. You filled that gap by getting slave labor. You got that slave labor from war spoils. A society without the modern conveniences of the industrial revolution will be forced back to depending on some form of indentured servitude or slavery to meet basic needs.
That’s why whenever I hear fucking idiots rant against industrialization and the modernity it gave us, for whatever stupid reason, I know I am dealing with morons that have neither a historical or biological/anthropological clue about the nature and difficulty of primitive life. The whole concept of the noble savage is an idiotic made up piece of shit that bears nothing with the reality of how brutal and difficult life used to be before our more modern world. People used to believe war meant that you killed as many of your enemies and enslaved the survivors, after you broke all this shit, because if you didn’t do it to them, they would do it to you. It was existentially horrible, and people risked everything doing that.
Now we have a whole bunch of idiots that think we should clean up war, and thus, we have a shit ton more of it, with people only getting mad when the side they don’t like gets accused of doing something they feel is too harsh.
Anyhow, no society paid a higher price to end slavery than the American society, but the marxist have bamboozled enough idiots into believing exactly the opposite so they can bring in another utopia where the masses will be treated no better than slaves yet again.
I don’t agree that societies need slavery without industrialization.
Free labor is always more productive. But then you have to cede economic power to lower and middle classes, which is why slavery becomes a preferred practice to the ruling classes. To the extent serfdom isn’t slavery, it was not practiced in Europe after the conversation to Christianity, well before industrialization.
I am sure serfs of feudal Europe, Christianity or not, might disagree with you.
If it is necessary economically, how do you explain england and Scotland abolishing the practice well before industrialization? They did not seem to experience an economic collapse as a result, perhaps the opposite.
Do you not see a parallel with the industrial revolution starting in Britain with the abolishment of this practice, while continental Europe, where it was not cancelled, lagged the Empire in that revolution?
I do, but it works almost in the opposite direction that you seemed to indicate since serfdom was abolished centuries before the start of industrialization. The abolition might have freed up the productive capability of society, raised living standards generally and that played a role in spurring innovation both due to better human capital, and higher producer costs.
After the industrial revolution everyone was FORCED to remove serfdom to remain competitive. Before that, England was still kicking everyone’s behind, they weren’t an economic backwater in any extent due to not having serfdom in the intervening 2-3 centuries.
Am I just misreading your earlier comment? You seemed to indicate that slavery is an economic necessity without machine labor.

US Home Prices Now Posting Biggest Monthly Drops Since 2009
Here we go. But seriously the latest Zillow estimate for my house was completely retarded at a 95% increase in value. I expect the drop. Luckily it can’t possibly won’t go below what I paid in 2017.
A drop to 2017 levels would be huge. I’d be happy with 2019/20 prices.
Strike the “won’t”. Jeez. *gets coffee*
Yeah fortunately and unfortunately I dont see home prices in my area falling much. When I purchased in 2008 100/sq ft was the going price for a newer home, 80/sq foot was considered a great price or a 20+ year old home. Now the new and nicer homes are around 150/sq ft, and the older or wierd ones are 120.
50% increase in a decade seems fairly reasonable to me, especially considering inflation. I could be off, though, I dont follow the housing market that closely
Weird times. Some things are going bonkers inflationary, other prices contracting. And we are sitting at 2 seconds to midnight. I just got back from vacation in the desert, socked in rain back at home. Le ugh.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has unfortunately led to increasing amounts of misinformation and disinformation related to the disease including how the virus is transmitted, promoting untested treatments and cures, and calling into question public health efforts such as masking and vaccinations,” the California Medical Association wrote in support of the bill. “Many health professionals, including physicians, have been the culprits of this misinformation and disinformation effort.”
So who decides what is misinformation?
The Ministry of Truth. I thought everyone knew that.
Do you trust your doctor or Gavin Newsom?
No.
Based.
The licensing boards, which are wholly captured by pharmaceutical interests.

So vaxxers are going to be punished? Because that shit sure wasn’t tested thoroughly. I look forward to all the Camp Lejeune commercials being replaced with mRna shot commercials one day.

Everything for the State, nothing outside the State
It’s actually kind of astonishing that so few seem to really see just how fascist we’ve become – institutionally, not wrapped around a cult of personality (though we do get those each administration, but always in a limited way).
Gillespie thinks Meloni is fascist. His recent comments on her self-identification as an Italian Christian mother are beyond stupid.
Yet he remains rather quiet on these types of developments.
That’s because the left coopted the real definition of fascism – a socialist system that came when disillusioned marxist realized that moronic ideology would always fail and cause death & misery, decided to solve the problem between loyalty to the ideology/leadership vs. the need for expertise to run top down system, by fooling people into thinking there was a private sector when what really happened was that government still retained the power to pick winners & losers – and has basically twisted it into meaning “Not one of us”.
It’s past time we reminded people of this guy and how long it took for his ideas to take hold.
Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.
That’s exactly who I thought you would reference, props.
That’s a great example. I’m also reminded of gay rights, women’s rights, hell even abolition, and how for a very long time all those things went against popular opinion. If their was such a thing at the time, they all would have been labeled “disinformation” and banned.
The thing is, the established procedure for a virus/flu used to be (and still is, really) to protect the susceptible, but not lock everyone down. And there are many real (actual) experts who said that this time, it’s just that the people in charge went the lockdown route. And many non-experts went along with it because they assumed the people in charge knew what they were doing.
If I was a doc, I’d remember how the medical profession was used way back in the ’50s to “assure” the public that smoking was just fine and no reason to worry. I’d think about how bad that looks now and then extrapolate that I might be viewed the same way in another 20 years or so.
Of course, if I was a doc, I’d be a sanctimonious prick who thinks I am smarter than everyone and could never make a mistake. I’d never engage in self-reflection.

The consortium of four private entities, led by Stanford and University of Washington research centers, mass-reported alleged misinformation for 100 days before the election and about two weeks after, targeting Just the News among other news organizations. It claimed a success rate of 35% for content removal, labeling and “soft-blocking.”
CISA and the DHS-funded Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center, as well as the State Department’s Global Engagement Center and the Democratic National Committee, could also submit misinformation “tickets” through the consortium to tech platforms.”

As soon as you create a system for shaping media coverage, it is guaranteed that interested parties would game it to their advantage.
The Dems are typically first to market on this stuff as they see no issue with doing it. The GOP will follow eventually.
Dem complaints get censored when Repubs in charge – howcome that happen?
Because the evil Republicans are politicizing the system!
The American Medical Association is asking Big Tech and the Department of Justice to censor, deplatform, investigate, and prosecute journalists who question the orthodoxy of radical gender surgeries for minors, arguing that public criticism is “disinformation.”
Someone has lost the plot.
Back in August, in the midst of all the “Democrats are surging” talk, Monmouth put out a poll showing Democrats up seven points. Their latest iteration? Republicans are now leading by two points. When adjusted for registered voters, the swing is D+3 to R+2.

commies can’t meme
https://twitter.com/GadzooksB/status/1576981430730571777
The person that made this meme is a moron. With or without industrialization, drinking water straight from nature was a gamble. All it took was one decomposing animal carcass upstream releasing bacteria in the water to kill anyone that drank it downstream. And most animals, and even early humans, were not worried as worried about getting sick from water as they were from getting jumped by a predator while distracted by drinking. I prefer modernity, something that a slew of idiots that learned about nature and how it works from Disney’s dumb shit and think it is all kumbaya and predators and prey animals hanging out and talking about starts being giant balls of burning gas or some such shit…

Nope. Under postmodernist rules there is no objective truth, just feelings, labels, and guilt by association. We’ve got an entire generation of idiots that will never compromise, nor will they ever be satisfied because there is no end point for their philosophy. It’s never good enough, never progressive enough. It’s constant dissatisfaction, constant struggle towards a utopia that doesn’t even exist for them.

Lizzo playing James Madison’s flute might have conservative pundits up in arms, but the folks repping the 4th president’s home couldn’t be happier and they’re urging her to make a house call ASAP.
A rep for James Madison’s Montpelier estate tells TMZ … Lizzo now has an open invitation to take a private tour of Madison’s well-preserved estate after she made history with the crystal instrument formerly owned by the prez.
Moral degradation is the order of the day.
Are conservative pundits up in arms? Who are they and why?
I haven’t seen anything but yawns from most people. I’ve seen a few people roll their eyes at Lizzo’s assertion that she is the first person ever to play that flute.
Eh, sort of. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think there would be less outrage if she had played it wearing a tuxedo. But you know, Lizzo being Lizzo she looked like an overstuffed sausage casing in a thong.
It’s filth pretending to be avant-garde. The whole point is to rub the normies’ noses in it.

There will be a response and I don’t think they’re gonna like it.

I don’t know why it is so important here. Not sure if because we are near WI and he played a couple years here or what.
All I know is that the local rags are way more interested in Favre’s pilfering of $20M from a welfare fund, than they are about locals stealing $250M from hungry kids. Especially when King Walz and Brother Keith have been caught in lie after lie about what they knew and when.

The U.S. Supreme Court, which expanded gun rights in a major decision in June, on Monday declined to hear a challenge to a federal ban on devices called “bump stocks” that enable semi-automatic weapons to fire like a machine gun – a firearms control measure prompted by a 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting.
The justices turned away appeals by a Utah gun lobbyist named Clark Aposhian and firearms rights groups of lower court rulings upholding the ban as a reasonable interpretation of a federal law prohibiting machine gun possession.
Last night my main tools went down because a jackass shut off the nitrogen flow because he was welding on the argon system. They originally denied doing it, but the fact that I saw them under the floor kinda squelched that. Now I’ve been thinking up all the different rules they broke and all the different departments that have jurisdiction over enforcing the rules. I sent the last one I can think of to my boss. The first two groups have already sent investigation team in to gather evidence before I got the last notice sent out.
Righteous sadism is a hell of a drug.
why do you need nitrogen
It’s an essential element.
It’s got what microchips crave.

So if you are welding on argon lines do you still need a shielding gas?
Just kidding…
Argon is a pretty common shielding gas when welding. Or am I mis reading your post?
He works in a fab. My bet is the argon is piped around and used in various manufacturing processes.
But that was why I made the joke above.
I see. I read it as “he was welding using argon” not “he was working on the argon system.”
We use a super clean grade of argon to run our Inductively Coupled Plasma systems. The orbital welding guys have their own sources.

TALLAHASSEE — A federal judge has rejected — at least for now — a lawsuit challenging a controversial new law that restricts instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in public schools.
U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor on Thursday issued a 25-page order dismissing the case, finding that plaintiffs did not show they had legal standing. Winsor, however, said the plaintiffs can file a revised lawsuit as they seek to block the restrictions.
Typically, activists do some forum-shopping to get their case in front of a friendly judge, who then rules in their favor. That the judge will get overturned in the appeals process (which happens almost inevitably) doesn’t seem to matter. The initial decision is splashed all over the front pages, and the appeal smackdown is never reported on at all.
A sane judge would ask this “Are these books/materials available on the open market for parents that wish to teach their own children it? Yes? Dismissed in favor of the State”.

Does mask-wearing affect behavior?
New research, set in China, suggests that using masks for health reasons also leads people to behave more ethically.
https://news.mit.edu/2022/mask-wearing-behavior-1003
The research, conducted across 10 studies focused on deviant behavior — such as running red lights, violating parking rules, and cheating for money — shows that people wearing masks were less likely to behave deviantly than those who were not wearing them. The researchers say this is not just happenstance, but that in China using masks increases moral awareness and thus spurs some people to be more rule-abiding.
lol. And I mean lol. SCIENCE I fucking love it
Those prone to OBEY blindly, OBEY blindly?

They aren’t even measuring that they claim to be. Observed behaviours have nothing to do with ethics and everything to do with simple obedience of arbitary rules.

Oh, fuck off already.
I had never heard of her (Suits-case girl) before Harry. I miss those times.
She was in a handful of episodes of Fringe as a religious counterpoint to the mad-science of Walter before she got written off the show. A show that used a case from the first season as the grand plan to put everything on a better path.
Kill Bill is fucking awesome and has aged really well. I just recently got the gf to watch it, she had never seen it. She loved it.
I loved it too.
I’ve mentioned before I find it rather humorous Cameron DIaz had much better Japanese pronunciation than Lucy Liu.

“U.S.’s first mobile abortion clinic will open in Illinois in WEEKS and offer procedure to women in Kentucky and Missouri where it has been outlawed after Roe v Wade
Reproductive health giant Planned Parenthood will bring a mobile abortion clinic to red-state borders to assist women legally barred from obtaining the procedure.
The clinic will operate in southern Illinois and travel along the border between neighboring Kentucky and Missouri, whose legislatures have passed near total bans.
Missouri specifically banned abortion with no exceptions for cases of rape or incest immediately after the Supreme Court threw out the legal right to an abortion in June, in what’s known as a trigger law.
In Kentucky, abortion is illegal from the point of fertilization – unless the woman is at risk of death or serious permanent injury with no exceptions for rape or incest.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11276701/Planned-Parenthood-plans-mobile-abortion-clinic-women-deep-red-Missouri-Kentucky.html
