One of my favourite people used to say “you gotta die from something” whenever the topic of his smoking would come up. Then he got a stroke that didn’t kill him.

I didn’t even know horses could draw.

Oh, that would be the common sense, right? My point is exactly the fact that you don’t need to be doing anything illegal in order to be charged. If you’re building a dirty bomb, that’s illegal. Shredding blueprints is obstruction of justice, an additional charge, that’s common sense. But shredding blueprints for a garden shed isn’t illegal, because building a garden shed isn’t illegal. Just the same, deleting cookies - or wiping your phone clean - shouldn’t be illegal, unless it’s concealing a crime. Protesting against police brutality is not a crime, organising is not a crime, there is no evidence he did commit any crimes. He’s being charged because he prevented a baseless, illegal search. And if preventing an illegal search is a crime, then all searches are legal and privacy is dead.

I suppose you probably mean well but anxiety disorder, menstrual cycle and weight problems are the unholy trinity of excuses for dismissing women’s health issues. In my kid’s case, it’s most likely a heart issue she got from her dad, occasional skipping of a beat. Doesn’t show in a regular EKG, doesn’t give acute symptoms most of the time. Makes her life absolutely miserable, might cause issues later if her dad’s case is any indication.

My kid is going through this right now. As a girl, she has the added benefit of “let’s try the pill and see if it helps!”. She has fatigue, heart palpitations and occasional chest tightness (EKG didn’t detect anything, bloodwork all normal with iron on a lower side but not bad). I wonder what would be the recommendation if she were a boy.

So technically, if I as much as delete cookies because I don’t want anyone, including the government, to track me, I’m breaking the law in the US and could be charged and imprisoned for up to 5 years? Land of the free 🤣

Country with high tuberculosis prevalence. It’s explained in the first sentence of the article.

I don’t think anyone’s implying that miller looks feminine or that Zacharia looks masculine. To me, it says that this administration is running out of blond options and miller might have to spew his own propaganda soon. And, for what it’s worth, I’m a cis woman with masculine features, so unfortunately I do have skin in this game.

Low salaries for teachers mean that they don’t attract dedicated professionals and the quality of teaching is bad. You can want well paid, good teachers and simultaneously hate the bad teachers you have right now. And of course each time there’s widespread protests, you’ll get a small amount of people who are only there for the violence.

Aside of all that, they were also poisoning babies in Eastern Europe as recently as 16 years ago. Their Gerber brand of baby food had two tiers of meat products for babies as young as 6 m.o… The ones sold in Western Europe were 100% meat. Identical looking jars manufactured for Eastern Europe had only 50% meat. The rest was indigestible for babies “mechanically separated meat”, which is industry term for whatever’s left after thinly minced bones, feathers and claws are forced through a sieve. Babies don’t produce enzymes necessary to digest any of that. They eat very little, so nutritionally empty “food” isn’t something that can be easily compensated for, and it impacts their development. Oh, and before anyone brings up the economical differences between Eastern and Western Europe: the better quality foods made for western markets were on average sold slightly cheaper than their Eastern counterparts.

Explaining it all with pure greed is actually generous. Because it also fits a pattern of neocolonialism and a concerted effort to make Eastern Europeans slightly weaker, dumber and easier to exploit. Even greedy people would usually stop short of actually poisoning babies, right? It wasn’t a mistake or a manufacturing error. Labels were printed with the ingredients listed (however misleading, because “mechanically separated meat” contains little to no meat at all). It was a deliberate choice, made by well informed people. But also merely a blip on a long list of their crimes.

My car has its own SIM card, why does it need to connect to my phone anyway?

Edit: I mean directly
