Trump also gives zero F’s about any of it. He cares about 1 person on earth, himself (and kinda Ivanka - until he no longer finds her attractive /shudder). He only makes statements like this because someone in his ear is telling him he needs to for the votes.

I wonder if they received phone calls from the two companies running these mills telling them that unless they do something they were going to lay people off and/or close mills?

I also wonder why when proposing new regulations like this, the EPA doesn’t calculate its numbers, but then also have an outside auditor/estimator run some numbers as well so that it doesn’t come down to EPA says this and company XYZ says that.

Just saw an article where he hasn’t “looked into the details” but “smart” people have said to him that Jan. 6th might not have actually been an insurrection, just a riot (that started as a “protest”).

Technically the electoral college isn’t eliminated, it just makes it so the votes go the the winner of the popular vote and not the gerrymandering. This would put every state on an equal footing and no more red state/blue state nonsense. People disillusioned by the current system can begin to feel like their vote “actually counts”, and maybe drive more people to actually participate in elections “where every vote counts”.

EDIT - Sorry themeatbridge, we are saying the same thing. I read your reply quick and thought you stated it was eliminated, not just functionally eliminated which is a big distinction that would require a lot more effort.

The fear is how they keep the grift going. None of these wack jobs believe 99.99% of the shit they spew, but a base that is afraid is easier to manipulate/con.

Orebolo - 3 guys playing acoustic perfection.

Goose - same 3 guys from Orebolo, but with the rest of the band, non-acoustic, and some good jams.

It says right in the article it was with the help of an immigrants rights group. They were illegally pushed onto a plane and flown to Martha’s Vineyard without anyone knowing they were coming. Desantis and his henchmen broke the law, and this judge agrees and has allowed them to bring a lawsuit against them.

Also, people on US soil are to be afforded the rights of the constitution.

What constitutional rights do undocumented immigrants have?

I have read great things about (magic) mushrooms with regards to PTSD also.

EDIT - I remember reading your post detailing your issues with food/smells somewhere around here not to long ago. That’s great that you’ve found something to provide some relief!

It is also not in their job description to disperse “justice”, or do anything but apprehend suspects and then allow the Justice System we have in place to deal with that. The second they step outside of that description they should be treated like any other citizen who took vigilante justice into their own hands, being charged and tried as such.

She is 27 and still living at home where the article describes the dad as her caretaker. She has both an autism and ADHD diagnosis, but Dad thinks all her physical symptoms derive from her making them up, because he believes her to have an undiagnosed mental illness. I’m just one person that believes they are on the spectrum (with ADHD), but physical symptoms are real. Having a caretaker that refuses to believe you is not going to make for a great life. Especially depending on your symptoms, which again because she is 27 and still at home with a parental caretaker, I’m guessing that they are pretty involved.

Also, these are often both genetic and passed down from a parent, so where is mom in this scenario? And might that also be playing a part in this?

Anyhoo, my 2 cents.

I know it probably doesn’t mean much from an internet stranger, but I’m sorry for your loss. I couldn’t imagine that kind of pain, since you never expect them to go before you. 😢 Thank you for sharing your story.

TimLovesTech, 1 month ago

Not to completely shit on dad here either, it could well be that he is also on the spectrum and has lived in an environment that has instilled in him that you just ignore your needs because that makes you “normal”. That is why I was wondering about mom, as it is more than likely one of them is on the spectrum also and perhaps just never diagnosed and their child being diagnosed has unlocked some shit.

Anyways I’m not a psychiatrist, just going through my own adult realization of things, and it’s not easy.

TimLovesTech, 1 month ago

I’m truly saddened by your story, but thank you for sharing it. And unfortunately the stigma and shame that comes with things like ADHD can be overwhelming. It is easy to go down the rabbit hole of “if only I could be normal…”, or “what would my life be like if I didn’t have ADHD…” and quickly lead to depression and more guilt.

The rate of death by suicide is alarmingly high among neurodivergent individuals, which is a real issue needing more attention. We need to work to demolish the stigma of these diagnoses, and make it a world where people can feel comfortable asking for help.

Ok this has brought me down, so I’m done in this thread for a bit, maybe I’ll check back later.

Holy shit is that is a very bad take!

You don’t know a thing about this guy. And to put all her pain on him without knowing shit about either of them is completely out of line.

And it is possible to be surrounded by love and still have a void that cannot be filled. Just knowing you’re “different” can be a mind job in and of itself. But making this all about the dad diminishes her feelings, her pain, her guilt.

You can only have “both sides” to things that are based in reality, not bad faith. Hiring her to “balance” things was an impossibility, since she peddles in bad faith and conspiracy theories.

I think in this case “self host” would be on a VPS, not at home. But you definitely would want to lock it down so it was open to the public.

It was also 1:30 am, and work crews were pouring concrete fixing the bridge at the time. That probably meant at least some kind of reduced traffic during the night work I would think.

It’s full amount to stop the state from beginning to seize assets yes, but his appeal can continue either way. I thought I read/heard that the appellate court did not have the power to do anything with judgements though, other than upheld/overturned. Now I have something to research.

TimLovesTech, 2 months ago

Asking the Court to Stop Enforcement of the Judgment: Filing a Notice of Appeal does not stop or stay the winning side from taking steps to collect or enforce the judgment from the lower court. To put the collection on hold, you may have to ask the court for a stay. You may have to pay an amount of money equal to the judgment amount, called an undertaking, to the court while the appeal is being decided.

Appeals Basics

IANAL, but does that may put this within the courts abilities?

TimLovesTech, 2 months ago

Which is why I went to look for an answer, because I was under the impression the Appellate Court couldn’t alter his judgement amount for appeal. That would need to be approved by only the Judge deciding the judgement. And that judge so no.

And the appellate court website states:

To put the collection on hold, you may have to ask the court for a stay.

So which court is that referencing?

After having his mom drive him there from out of state as well. He wasn’t in his neighborhood protecting his property, he was walking the streets looking for a reason to shoot someone, and unfortunately found it and capitalized.

I just have a problem with people spreading misinformation like a parrot with something they “heard somewhere”. You are basically spreading lies, and when confronted have doubled down on them. Does speaking truth to lies make me the enemy now? Bragging about being uninformed and spreading misinformation does not seem like a great hill to die on personally, but to each their own. You are free to speak your lies, but I will continue to call them out as such.

Mods, is this community about spreading misinformation?? If so I’m more than happy to leave the community, and ban it as such from my instance.

TimLovesTech, 2 months ago

Because I"m not OK with people continuing to spread dishonest information? That is a weird take. The amount of purposeful ignorance to the facts has become contagious around here. I try and point out how none of the shit talking around here carries any water, and somehow I’m the one that should be concerned. I did not realize I had stumbled onto Facebook, my bad. I’ll let you get on with your misinformation farm, you have another election to deny coming up, must be a busy time of year for you.

TimLovesTech, 2 months ago

Exactly the opposite. I am 100% behind anyone that has actually played it and has valid concerns, like performance being the big one. I’m only against the pitchfork brigade parroting things that are outright untrue, and has tangible evidence as proof. I do not peddle in, or tolerate, the alternative facts business.
