  • Free speech is rooted in the founding idea that you can speak or print your opinion about a government without a government’s reprisal.

    Like most rights, these are codified and then matured or refined over time in the form of amendments.

    I would very much like to change the name of the 14th amendment for all that it matters, since it now protects corporate personhood over individuals, but I digress.

    Free speech is, again like other rights, not to be enshrined where it would allow you to do harm to others. You have the right to preach in an airport or say the government is hiding aliens or that the president is a shit bird. You do not have the right to cause a panic by screaming fire or bomb, as this had the very real harm to other’s safety in crowded public places. You can’t scream fire in a theater, for the same reason.

    The most simple way to put this is that your rights end at your nose, not other people’s noses.

    You can’t harm other’s freedom to operate unmolested, and where we draw that line is the foundation of English law.

  • No, it wouldn’t.

    Jesus Christ has no one taken a civics class or studied how your government works?

    Free speech limitations are clearly set with multiple case precedent. You would be arrested, convicted, and banned from ever flying. Full stop.

  • Phenotype vs biological normative.

    Deaf people will decry “fixing” a person hearing impaired in the womb. Yet, it’s a correction to biological normative.

    Adjusting a gender to a different one in the womb would not be.

    Adjusting physical traits for looks wouldn’t be.

    Adjusting a physical trait like spinal deformity would be.

    Adjusting for general height would not be.

    If there is something diagnosable in the ICD-10 codes we have, and it’s preventable in a population, it would not be eugenetics. Remove gene editing as the tool, but just say “magic” a cure. Cures apply to diseases, not traits.

    You don’t cure being black. You CAN cure sickle cell.

    I think the line is pretty clear.

    You simply use existing diagnostic criteria of deviation from biological normative function.

  • Unappreciated vine reference.

  • Aight. You do you.

    I for for a fact I can work anyone breathing to the point they are maxing their heart rate and can’t stand for a half hour after we are done.

    If you are not hitting that at home it’s on you.

    I did 10 miles today on a stationary bike at a 3 minute mile pace. Then I set target heart rate of 145 and never dropped below it for 1 and a half hours as I did my circuit and strength plan.

    Get creative with it. You can use nothing but a foam roll and get a completely wrecking aerobic workout.

  • You can input any bulk food and its stats into the tool. I cook most everything I eat. Lots of veggies and chicken.

    All my workouts can be done at home with a few inexpensive items.

  • I have chronic pain. I was instructed by the pain clinic I went to, under no uncertain terms, to exercise 5 times a week. No taking a day because I feel sore or tired or because the overwhelming blinding pain is screaming at me not to. I just have to do it.

    That was a year ago.

    I am still going.

    I went from sedentary for a decade to a healthy BMI and muscle mass because of 1 rule.

    Don’t let how I feel guide how I act.

    Fuck me it was hard. It is hard. It was hard today. It was hard every single day.

    I have currently a torn labrum, a torn rotator cuff, 3 torn things in my knee, 4 bulging disks in my back, a herniated disk, arthritis in 5 joints, and a titanium cage holding part of my spine together.

    If you can commit to tracking every single thing you eat in the app MyNetDiary ( it scans barcodes and is free), and exercising 5 times a week; I guarantee two things will happen.

    1.) I will do the same and have an accountability buddy to keep me going.

    2.) You WILL be successful in the weight loss and gaining a healthy life.

    Your call if you want to transform your life.

    I have PT exercises and low impact options for days. I have whole fitness plans and diet plans from distinctions, and hundreds of hours with PTs. I have so much to share with someone whose life I can help gain so so much…

    You just have to commit to joining me.

    A year from now you could be vastly different than you are now. So could I. IF we keep our promises to ourselves and one another.

  • It’s been a crunch my Republican talking point for a while.

    Some counties have voted to remove it based on inconclusive data from some studies on fluoride exposure.

    Problematically the results to childhood issues require doses far in excess of the FDA minimum. More problematic is the example we have of a similar country with similar demographics removing it, and seeing a massive uptick in oral cavities. So we know what happens as a massive test already unintentionally from Canada.

    The will do nothing but cause harm to long term oral health.

  • There was the girl with cancer getting treatment in the US who was deported a couple weeks ago. She is a US citizen.

    Her parents declared they were not, but were taking her over the border through a checkpoint to see her oncologist. As they have done 4 times prior without issue.

    They were arrested and deported all.

  • Talk about jumping 4 steps down the road.

    They are uniformed. No global convention or agreement mandates those elements be on a uniform. The nametag, unit patch, and other items on the uniform are just ways that force happens to enhance identification within the unit.

    They are identified as uniformed members of a military force. This satisfies the convention.

    None of this matters or applies at all given that there is no combat occurring that would fall under the Geneva convention. So they could be plain clothes officers and it wouldn’t apply.

    Trump is a sack of dog turds, and what he is doing is largely stupid speed run overreach, but this hyperbolic shit just harms credibility of the already massive list of shit he is violating.

  • I need to know where you got this Lego set

  • smart enough to have a suppressor…

    That is all of a form 4 stamp and a $200 check my man. These days it’s a few weeks dwell time.

    I have 12 of them. Most of the guys I shoot with have several. None of them are even close to being on this side of the bell curve for intellect.

    Dude had a plan that was well thought out, but the can on his pistol wasn’t an indicator of it.

  • https://www.blazingsword.org/

    Please reach out there if you feel like you want to pursue gun purchases and would like instruction.

    They are a non-profit that specifically helps LGBTQ+ people with finding an accepting and safe instructor for free. I volunteer as a coach through that organization.

  • What does that have to do with the comment I was responding to then?

  • Ok, but we already gave him the money 5 years ago.

    So, what changes by selling it?

  • I bought one when no other option for an EV really existed for reasonable range batteries.

    I have never owned a luxury car. My other car is a Honda accord from 2016.

    I would be happy to have any other car brand, but the cost to replace the car with a different EV of similar range would cost us $30k. Is it really that important to harm yourself financially to signal to others your preferences for a person?

  • Do you lack the ability to fathom how stepwise change works?

    When you can get 1% better you take it, and then take the next 1% and the next and the next.

    Apathy until something is 75% better as a step wise improvement means you will never see it.

  • That leaves out when the company prompting you charges an administration fee to collect part of that sum donated for their own profits.

    It leaves out when they, like CVS did with the diabetes association charity collecting at checkouts, take the money as an IOU to the charity while making money out to offset loans in the near term.

    It leaves out structuring of collected funds to allow a 503C arm of the corporation to have tax advantaged status while also specifically being chartered to help the for profit company that you are shopping at.

    There are a variety of scummy practices employed by organizations collecting those funds and it absolutely can benefit them to do so.

  • If your portfolio was a Fidelity target date fund, it would not be impacted by the local industry you mention in your post.

    I also happen to know more about the details of how our retirement fund recommendations to clients works at Fidelity… because I worked there for the last 5 years.

    You are showing the results of poor selection on your part.
