Personal injury lawyers might not be as big as they are, but lawsuits in the US are kind of important for more than just monetary compensation, it’s to have case law and in essence introduce new regulations. McDonalds didn’t just have to pay medical bills for the Hot Coffee lawsuit, but McDonalds also had to change how they serve their coffee. Its part compensation and part making sure it doesn’t happen again or if it does, there is a clear path for what needs to happen. As awful as it is to have something bad happen, it’s worse if we don’t learn and change from it and our system of incorporating case law is pretty decent at that, if imperfect. No legal system can cover every scenario, but if it can adapt as new scenarios arise then it is all the more resilient (although that does kinda assume our Judiciary is truly impartial and there are no cronies trained by think tanks to give the illusion of impartiality)

Heretic who exploits faith for profit

Do conservative Evangelicals have any sense of irony?

Reason I said “certain anti-microbial properties”. Both honey and garlic are able to slow the growth of some not so great bacteria like botulism for fermentation while also promoting the growth of good bacteria like lactobacillus.

Man it would be a shame if the new guy full force accelerated the genocide. But hey at least dems were punished for their lack of action on stopping the genocide.

The Picard Maneuver and the Riker Maneuver.

Pull down your shirt and swing your leg over the chair.

While fermented garlic and honey are actually pretty good for you, (probiotics from fermentation, certain anti-microbial properties of both garlic and honey, etc), it’s not actual medicine.

Home remedies are great at making you feel a bit better while your body fights something off but they’re no substitute for medicine to actually help your body fight off your infection.

I’ll swear by hot tea, honey, lemon with a splash of some kind of liquor and some chicken noodle soup when dealing with a sore throat but I’m also taking cough medicine to actually manage the symptoms in addition to those home remedies.

It’s a distinction without a difference. It’s an unlawful seizure of power.

Jesus fucking… WEVE HAD SO MANY MOVIES, BOOKS, TV SHOWA AND GAMES EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS A BAD IDEA!!!

Edit (more stuff): but yeah the thing i immediately thought of was the Peacewalker Incident from Metal Gear Solid, but this time the AI isn’t based on the mind of the greatest soldier of all time who laid her gun down for the future of mankind, instead it’s the entire collective stupidity of humanity…

The 8th circle might be a better fit, especially in the 8th Bolgia for councellors of fraud.

Sure shit sucks right now, doesn’t mean it’s not worth fighting to fix. If you’re burnt out from being politically engaged for a decade, disconnect from it for a while, and actually disconnect from it until you get to a better head state, not just scream into the algorithm about how you think its all pointless. As cliche as it is, touch some grass, go outside, breathe some fresh air, find somewhere quiet and disconnect for a bit. Pick up a hobby that doesn’t result in being terminally online, disc golf is pretty affordable and surpringly more common than you think.

.ml is Mali and marxist-leninists tend to use .ml as their hosting domain of choice the way that a lot of Generative AI domains are hosted in Anguilla because of the .ai domain.

Coulda fooled me, most people I know lashing out don’t recognize they’re lashing out and dont explicitly say they’re not being rational.

Real catch-22 moment here, if you know your being irrational, you’re not actually irrational.

If you’re done with politics, then just stop. This isn’t an airport, you don’t need to loudly announce your departure.

Oh yeah I’m definitely thinking of the scene between Doc and Omega when they’re having a back and forth, but originally I was referring to the images on the left are the armor models from halo 3? I think and the ones on the right are from Halo 1.

Clearly both screenshots came from different parts of RvB, but I could sworn some interaction similar to this happened between Doc and O’Malley/Omega. Like I can hear O’Malley’s voice saying these line.

Presidents day us usually just dedicated to Washington and Lincoln.

Others have mentioned Presidents day, Columbus day, all the Christian adjacent holidays are based in Eurpoean tradition, so Christmas (which also has Santa, a white guy, canonically breaking into everyone’s houses to leave presents) Halloween is the night before All Souls day, a moderately important Catholic day in the lead-up to All Saints Day, and Easter, thanksgiving is about the white settlers not starving because of the generosity of the native populations.

I’m pretty sure the autocorrect ducking with fowl language is because it has those words specifically marked not to come up in autocorrect, because kids do also use phones too and that would be enough to cause enough of a stink that no company wants to deal with it.

You’d be mildly surprised just how many conservatives also hate the ADA.

and ignoring Trump literally threatening to make it worse

Holy fucking shit you’re literally proving my point. You’re so focused on Joe Biden’s passive participation you’re ignoring Trump actively making it worse. Do you agree that Trump is making the genocide worse?
