Yes. Being fired means almost nothing nowadays. Worst case scenario, they fire you with cause so you can’t collect unemployment. That puts you in the exact same situation as quitting. Once you decide you want to quit, just do the bare minimum while you job search.

Court filing gives rare look inside FBI seizure of lawmaker's phone in 2020 election probe (apnews.com)

Snippets and short summaries of texts and emails sent by Rep.

Time to find religion if you want them to suffer consequences. They won’t see if on this mortal plane. But it needs to be a religion with a truly just and fair deity.

This instance doesn’t make shark attacks in general any more or less likely.

Ackshualllllllly, a shark is less likely to attack right after eating due to being full. Checkmate.

Derek Chauvin is released from the hospital and is back in prison after being stabbed by inmate (www.nbcnews.com)

Chauvin, who was convicted in the 2020 murder of George Floyd, was allegedly stabbed with an “improvised knife” Nov. 24 while in the law library at Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona, by inmate John Turscak, 52, according to a criminal complaint.

This is kinda where I’m coming from on this. There are still tons of cases of cops blatantly and aggressively violating people’s rights, up to and including killing them. They never show remorse until they suffer consequences. Until there is consistent accountability, and cops actually consider the full ramifications of their actions, I won’t be upset by the ones that might suffer some harsher punishments for their crimes.

Protein I think would be the issue. There was a case study on a morbidly obese guy that did this with doctors. What I remember is he basically told his doctor he was going to stop eating entirely. They could either help him and give him medical advice along the way, or try to just advise against and he was going to do it anyways. He would take a daily vitamin for general vitamins and I believe some yeast paste to give him protein. I think the dude lost like 400lbs in a year. Had small bowel movements every 30 to 40 days.

Edit: Apparently it wasn’t protein but amino acids.

he consumed only vitamins, electrolytes, an unspecified amount of yeast (a source of all essential amino acids)

I think they consider some charges together. Like charge them with Murder 1 and Murder 2. Prosecution presents its case. The jury is instructed on elements of each crime to be found guilty. Then they choose which single one to convict or none.

I thought it was “foisted by their own petard”.

Double secret prison.

Yup. Apparently I was just horribly wrong.

And you were correct. Not sure where I got my version.

That’s still in the works. Congress doesn’t have control over that.

Nah. They’re on record saying it sets a bad precedent to expel a member before they are convicted. I can only imagine the awful shit they’re hiding and are worried they could get expelled for.

I’ll never not pronounce his name as “a shit pie”.

I’m worried “paycheck to paycheck” is up to the interpretation of the person filing it the survey and how the questions are phrased. Depending on how the questions are worded, they’d possibly include me. My wife and I max our IRAs, 401ks, and HSAs each year. Anything that can be put on the credit card, is (then paid off before any interest can accrue). Like sure if you look at our monthly expenses vs income hitting the bank, we are “paycheck to paycheck”. But we could both lose a significant portion of our income and be just fine (provided we scale back retirement savings).

Unless they address that in these articles or surveys, it just sounds like they’re trying to get the poor and middle class to just agree to this shared misery while the rich keep fucking the world over.

meco03211 ,

Which is why I’m worried it’s not adequately defined. I’m definitely not paycheck to paycheck. But they could word the questions in such a way that I’d be included.

meco03211 ,

Also, do you have kids, because that’s a huge impact on the bottom-line of people who make a decent salary.

Only furry ones with four paws. And the cost of raising kids is a not insignificant factor in that decision.

If it was truly a concern, it would be much more well known and women would likely have had their hair cut for the same reason.

Is there a name for downplaying your suffering because other people have bigger problems?

I am looking for a term to describe the line of thinking that goes something like “I hate my work, I am sick all the time, I am depressed, I can’t find happiness. But I should be happy. Those problems don’t matter. All my problems are so insignificant, there are little. They’re just some stupid first world problems. I...

On the other side, you can have plenty of money, friends, family, and other nominally positive indicators of success and happiness and still be abso-fucking-lutely soul-crushingly depressed. Then you start down the shitty spiral of hating yourself for not being happy which makes you even more depressed and angry at yourself.

Alabama inmate asks judge to block first nitrogen gas execution (apnews.com)

Attorneys for Kenneth Eugene Smith, 58, filed an amended lawsuit challenging the proposed new execution method as a potential violation of the Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment. They asked a federal judge to issue a preliminary injunction to block the execution from going forward next year....

I think if the legal injection went exactly as planned, it would be painless. But that gets botched all the time.

Had a friend with a parent that was a doctor. Apparently she could tell which commercials were getting pushed more based on what patients kept asking for.

meco03211 ,

Not defending him, but that kind of deal is made all the time for that reason. You’ve been in jail for 2 years and get told if you just say you’re guilty you can go free. If you maintain your innocence, you’ll still have to wait out the trial and face a longer sentence than the plea deal if found guilty.

Though admittedly, I might be willing to spend more time in jail if I was truly innocent of kiddy diddling. As this article is evidence, that shit will come back to bite you.

Ever see the show Shameless? Very dark comedy throughout, mostly light hearted content. One episode had me balling. One of the main characters is having memory issues. They were sort of working their bucket list that reunited them with a friend that also had memory problems. The friend mentioned their spouse dying. Main character asks how they remembered. They had it written down on a post-it note on the fridge.

If I had to relive my wife dying every day because I forgot, just put me down.

It’s not legal. It just likely hasn’t been explicitly made illegal. I’m sure every state has a law to operate motor vehicles with “due care” or some similar clause. Inattentive driving is not exercising due care.

meco03211 ,

By that logic, murder is “perfectly legal”, as the title of the article suggests, so long as it isn’t enforced. This is obviously a preposterous notion. If enforcement is the issue, the solution should focus on that. An article suggesting it’s legal, absolves police of their duty to enforce laws and puts it in the hands of legislatures. But it’s already illegal so law makers could do no more on the matter. Further, as the issue is enforcement, even if they passed more laws, it would beg the question how they will be enforced.

Sounds like less ads in your videos would help you focus on the road more.

Having a century flood once a century is no cause for change. Having them every few years… well the idiots will just bitch about the infrastructure needing improvement (but don’t you dare raise their taxes for that).

What’s that rate for human drivers?

meco03211 ,

It’s a “losing” scenario in my mind. We know they’re guilty. The question is whether that will be the true outcome or if some bullshit happens. Then you become either a dumb lawyer who took a losing case and lost. Or you become the shitbag that took a losing case and either delayed until trump was in power to quash all this or used unethical means to secure a bullshit outcome simply because of who your client is.

No doubt they will curry favor with the sycophants and rich criminals. But they’ll never be able to make those same plays again.

meco03211 ,

They also need to hold them to the “look to the future” bullshit. Hit back at 'em with a “we’re looking to the future” when they cry about Hunter’s laptop or something else.

Ever inhale chlorine gas? Deadly! Ever tossed sodium in water? Explosive! Putting the two together could absolutely be modified chemical warfare agent. We should add it to the ban list right under dihydrogen monoxide.
