I think my visit seeking prophylactics when I was exposed to HIV (and the doctor just said, “nah, don’t worry about it, I’m not prescribing you”) was $1500 for the doctor, $1500 to the hospital… God damn that was a shock.
It definitely wouldn’t. There have been several recent ‘proofs’ of the level of scrutiny we face where serial killers are getting caught before they ever get to the famous numbers in the ‘serial’ part. That one fella recently, as an example, where the police released video of a man with a limp walking near a crime scene, and they caught him at victim #3. In the 90s, it likely would have taken dozens of victims before we caught a lucky video like that.
“Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe,” said Ritchson, who himself identifies as a follower of Jesus. “It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.”
It might be true that the ones you meet online are very vocal, but there are a lot of people in person who will sing his praises, put flags on their car, their house, and everything else they can reach. They’ll deride any ‘liberal’ and come up with every straw man they can to lampoon for the amusement of the circle around them. I see them when I visit family, when I converse with people at the local park, and even in casual conversations in the workplace. They are everywhere, and it’s crazy how comfortable they feel with being open about their vitriol.

Remove the historic paintings during renovation, at least. Surely it would be possible to rig up some sort of sprinkler system as well. Firefighter access to the roof may be difficult once the fire is blazing, but maybe some mitigation systems could be installed before the blowtorches and welders come out.
Look up the CCPgrey video about who holds the keys to the kingdom. Napoleon wasn’t necessarily being dismissive when he called England a nation of merchants. They were very good at organizing power structures in ways that benefited them.
I mean, it IS basically a self-insert masturbatory ‘little guy is super badass’ anime… but it is a FUN and visually neat one at the same time. I would tell people to watch it if they like the premise. Just don’t read the book. It somehow was more mary sue-ish.
If you liked the studio ghibli ones, try Wolf’s Rain. It’s a cool story. The creator then took his ideas that he didn’t get to play with (subterfuge and deeply flawed characters) and created Darker than Black, a really awesome take on regular people getting superpowers.

I wish beyond wishing that O’rourke would have just shut the fuck up and deferred about coming after people’s guns in Texas. I really wonder if he could’ve squeaked a victory and Texas would be quite different today. Guns are a losing issue. Even more so than abortion or ‘the gays!’, guns bring single-issue voters out from everywhere.
I wonder how hard it would be to fake a ‘ship’ being towed from the rough area where you boarded, and put on a real rocket. How many people would still argue it wasn’t real when they saw the launch of a rocket that could reach a few dozen miles up? Sure, some would have the technical knowledge to look at the rocket and know it wouldn’t be enough.
Hide the true numbers off people boarding, and thus you can fake the ‘ship’ being super small, and it could work on the unknowledgeable viewer who is placed several miles away.
Anne Rice did it waaaaay before Twilight was the wet dream in the author’s head. Even Dracula had crazy bitches in it. Sexual taboos are more freely explored in fiction, and the supernatural turns fiction up to 11.
The ruling specifically said items that aren’t protected under federal mandate. When I deal with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) information, just about everything you can imagine in the record is protected if it can be paired with another piece of info and narrow down a person’s identity. Scroll down to the ‘Protected Health Information’
Hopefully that means they can deny just about every document… but I have no hope when it comes to courts and prosecutors in the states.
There, there, buddy. You don’t have to listen to all the hate. Just screen the hate from your life. Put a big ole metal grating in front of the flow of pejoratives and catch them before they hit your brain space.
“Given the importance of the trial schedule, the key practical question is whether the court focuses solely on Trump’s case or endorses immunity in other instances. Smith’s gambit is a fallback that would let the court order the trial to proceed even if its opinion extends to broader principles of immunity.”
They’re not the best, they are just flinging shit at the wall and the corruption is deep enough that the shit penetrates it and sticks. ‘Like dissolves like’ and all that, but with stickiness. I also seem to remember something about the recent ones have all been paid in advance.

LibRedirect is pretty great. Everything from reddiot, fandom, youtube, imgur, google maps… (it’s a long list)
has open source or alternatives that you get sent to instead of the big corpo tracking site. I love the fandom, reddit, and youtube redirects, because so many times I end up being linked to those. You can also turn off the redirect per site if you want, so if an invidious link (for example) just refuses to load, you can let youtube track you and see the video.

Maybe… I still remember the national news piece about D&D being evil, and the national furor over satanic cults existing inside of day cares that had plenty of news coverage. Fearmongering isn’t a new millennium thing, it’s just gotten prolific due to the ease of the internet.
