admiralteal , to politics in Top GOP Senators Back Romney’s Call For One Anti-Trump Candidate to Emerge Quickly to Stop Former President

And who wants to prohibit anyone under 25 from voting (at least unless they've passed a GOP loyalty test).

admiralteal , to politics in Top GOP Senators Back Romney’s Call For One Anti-Trump Candidate to Emerge Quickly to Stop Former President

The 2015 anti-Trump candidates: Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, and John Kaisch.

Aside from the one "literally who?" candidate (John Kaisch), every one of these men eventually beat the drum for Trump. Every one of them a bigger idiot than the rest. Every one of them representing the same ilk (maybe) slightly better-contained.

Romney's the one who is wrong here. Any Republicans that do not 100% embrace and love Trump and what he represents need to leave the party. Trump is a correct and proper representation of the GOP's values and goals and these credulous buffoons need to stop pretending he isn't.

Researchers concluded that the culprit behind the extremely unusual 2019 outbreak was the intestinal pathogen, Campylobacter jejuni. The gut-dwelling bacteria is well-known as one of the most common causes of food poisoning and diarrheal cases in the world. But, less well-known, it's also one of the leading triggers for GBS.

Adding this because I think it's pretty critical for your quotes. So this is something that has been (likely) foodborne in Peru before. But the article implies that only about 2/3 of their identified cases showed signs of the same infection.

admiralteal , to news in Sinéad O’Connor, Irish Singer of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U,’ Dies at 56

You're Wrong About did a really nice piece on her just in April, going over the history, the controversy that got her cancelled before "cancelling" was even a thing everyone talked about (because she protested the Catholic Church's sex abuse in Ireland before the Spotlight stories were even a thing), and just generally her life story: https://yourewrongabout.buzzsprout.com/1112270/12624780-sinead-o-connor-with-allyson-mccabe

Worth a listen if you like that kind of thing. She was an amazing person that got repeatedly done dirty by the industry and cultural zeitgeist and this death is a tragedy.

Don't forget that homophobia is still completely rampant in Japan, a country that is nowhere close to legalizing gay marriage or showing any other side of widespread tolerance.

Keeping your sexual orientation secret is a necessary safety precaution in a country like that. Which is why we need to be vigilant and resist these anti-queer right wingers everywhere in the world including at home. People deserve to not feel unsafe simply because of their born identity.

admiralteal , to technology in Built-in software ‘death dates’ are sending thousands of schools’ Chromebooks to the recycling bin

I, on the other hand, have a Lenovo Duet 2 which sort of sucked the day I bought it and has hardly gotten any better. I wanted a new Android tablet for taking notes and reading comics and there was just nothing else decent available a year ago. Specifically got an ARM one so it would reliably run Android apps. Which it doesn't -- it's so unstable. Have to reboot it regularly when stuff stops working. The promise of Android apps on ChromeOS was more of a hope than a pledge.

Good thing it was cheap because this thing has practically no future for me. I regret everything about it.

Isolation is definitely torture, but it's hardly a new form of it. It's been used to destroy people throughout history. Not to disagree with anything you've written here.

Also absolutely massive subsidies are flowing out of the IRA into a lot of diverse economic sectors for the purpose of fighting climate change. Estimated $1.3 trillion since it is uncapped and built largely around unit subsidies.

That is a lot of money flowing to a lot of firms. Republicans like money going to businesses.

admiralteal , to news in Nebraska teen sent to 90 days in jail over abortion

Being pro-choice requires you accept abortion at any point is morally acceptable.

It does not mean it is desirable. You can have a preference that an abortion late term not happen. It's just a preference for individuals to behave more charitably, after all. And you're free to institute policies that make it less likely to happen so long as those policies do not trample on an individual's ownership of their own body. For example, you can create financial incentives to complete the pregnancy -- cover the person's living and healthcare expenses or flat pay them to do it.

It's telling that the "pro-life" types aren't out here advocating for these kinds of policies that prevent individuals from WANTING to have abortions. If they truly were concerned about murder, they'd be out there making education and contraception available and pregnancy care available and cheap. They'd be expanding things like TANF. All sorts of policies that are normally part of the agenda of the same people that tend to be pro-choice.

28 weeks is 6.2 months.

admiralteal , to news in Nebraska teen sent to 90 days in jail over abortion

I wish people wouldn't talk about pregnancy in terms of months.

40 weeks is at typical pregnancy. A nice, round, simple-to-remember number.

28 weeks is a pregnancy in the 6th month, just as a matter of fact. 28 weeks is also basically the earliest you would ever call someone in the third trimester and is the earliest a pregnancy is typically thought to have the possibility of viability.

Absent more information, we cannot assert it was definitely wrong. You've intentionally framed this as "the article says nothing about the fetus posing any dangers to her health" which I have to assume is an intentional lie of omission. What the article actually says is nothing at all about the health of the fetus. It does not imply there was no danger to her health. It says nothing. Likely because it is an unknown.

What we do know about a 28-week abortion is that such an abortion was not part of a normal, healthy plan. Late-term abortions like this are almost certainly from someone intending to carry to term who has some kind of crisis. We do not know the nature of severity of the crisis.

In such a crisis generally, the community and the state should've been there to help them navigate it and reach an outcome that kept her as whole as possible while doing what is possible to keep the child alive. This was possibly a viable pregnancy. But I totally understand, especially to a teenager and in the current political environment of a place like Nebraska, being rightly too frightened to reach out for help.

admiralteal , to reddit in Reddit claiming they weren’t recovering deleted posts

These rumors of restored comments have been going on since the start of the reddit blackouts. And they're largely not happening anymore now that the blackouts are over. It was the blackouts. I checked my comments and deleted new ones almost every day during the blackouts, and whenever they "came back" they were all on a previously-private sub and they "came back" as a bloc. It was private subs having comments be private, then turning public/restricted and "restoring" the previously-inaccessible comments.

Literally just one confirmed case of someone who knew about the "restorations" and took some kind of backup before deleting to prove it happening. Just one case. But there isn't.

There is absolutely zero chance Reddit would be restoring only certain comments. It would be widespread if they were doing it. They aren't going to send out one of the professional sitewide mods with admin tools to review deletions and randomly restore only certain comments.
