  • They look kind of dopey, but they look like they'd really do a good job of prioritizing safety for pedestrians, pets, and especially kids with the really low hood height. The minimum distance to see the road on that thing has got to be like three inches.

  • Nah, how about the US just stop finding excuses to throw away trillions of dollars getting people killed overseas for no reason.

  • Trick question, it's the centrist democrats. By preying on leftists and wearing their skin as camouflage, they get to court votes from the left while still growing fat on milk from their billionaire hosts. The conservatives are a very close second, though.

  • Counterpoint: if it wasn't nukes, there'd be some other justification. The alleged Iraqi WMD were never found, so basically we toppled their government (not that I'm exactly shedding tears over Saddam, but ISIS wasn't great either), got a bunch of people killed, and blew two trillion dollars out of our ass for ????.

  • huh

  • I mean, we probably won't be putting boots on the ground. I don't think Iran could realistically run a ground war against our special genocide boys, and we bombed the everloving fuck out of Libya without officially putting any boots on the ground. This is probably going to be similar.

  • For some of us, I suppose those of us who accidentally took the NT serious, it's supposed to. It's part of why I left the church.

  • Yeah, it's very clear that Jesus taught with a very heavy emphasis on Judaism, and had no intention whatever of applying his teaching to gentiles. You don't really see that happening until after his death.

  • I have ADHD and, given some shared traits with my diagnosed kids, likely autism as well. I like myself the way I am as well, but it's definitely made my life harder. While it isn't a disability for me, my wife, or my daughter, it is for my son, to the point where, even as he nears double digit age, we're still unsure if he's ever going to be able to participate in society and care for himself independently. I honestly worry, with how free with violence he is*, that he's going to end up institutionalized or in and out of jail once he gets big enough to actually start hurting people. That's not a life that I want for him.

    *A specialist broke this down for us. Basically, he gets so frustrated and has no means of dealing with it or communicating the frustration that it manifests as a fight response.

    • Never cut spending
    • Cut taxes on the rich

    "Wow, that's a lot of debt"

    • Cut taxes on businesses

    "Wow, we're really broke"

    • Cut taxes on the rich

    "Golly, this is a serious problem!"

    • Cut taxes on the rich

    "Nobody really knows why we're in so much debt or how to deal with it, but it's probably the fault of poor people. Guess we better cut taxes for the rich more lmao"

  • Imo, then it's between the parents and the clinicians involved. My son has autism severe enough that it hinders his learning and his social growth and stuff. I go back and forth about whether he'll have the ability to live independently, or to have a partner and not beat the everloving shit out of them for what seems to be no reason. I love him, AND it's a burden for everyone in the family, not just him, not just us parents. If given the choice, yes, I absolutely would have chosen to give him the chance at a life where he doesn't spend every day frustrated by invisible barriers and possibly a life in prison or long term clinical detention (I forget the term) if we can't get him to manage his physical outbursts by the time he's an adult.

  • The lab did specify that there's a looooong road between here and putting this in the clinic, but it's a good to see.

  • It's a really deep pool, and I'm going to juuuust touch the edge here and say that consent should absolutely count, if they're in a condition to give informed consent. In general, I expect that people with disabilities would prefer to not have the disability, and I would love to give them that choice. What shouldn't happen, though, is people being changed or treated without their consent.

  • Oh, okay. Hmm, yeah, that seems sus.

  • Dude is 79 and most of his atoms have come from big macs; every single morning is a dice roll that he didn't die in his sleep. This fucker is never going to see justice, and all of the spineless justices and prosecutors that were shit scared to punch up will finally be able to breathe easy knowing they did absolutely nothing to protect the rule of law when they had the chance.

  • Like the other guy said, seems pretty damn fast when it wants to be. They didn't wait two years to start the trial against Mangione.

  • I kept looking for the place where this was parody news. Jesus Christ, what the fuck

  • Fuckin Paul, bro. Imo, evangelicals worship him as their savior way more than Jesus

  • World day of protest II
