They really just came out and said it. Wow!

I accidently started a trend among a certain group of being early to the meeting because I was worried about being late. So, instead of getting ten minutes to mentally prepare with a book or podcast, it became asinine small talk. Now I’ve just gotten better at being ten minutes early without signing in and setting a two minute timer on my phone to log into the chat. Now they complain I’m not chatting with them. Why can’t they understand I’d never choose to interact with them, this is work.

He was 67, well traveled (including warzones), and in positions of authority. Who knows how many he victimized.

Terbur sturvs!

Your default assumption is that any criticism of a woman must be misogyny? Even when that woman’s actions primarily impact women’s health? Interesting.

How many of them voted for this clown and his cloned dog cabinet? Lmao.

1. That isn’t an example of “beggaring the question.” You clearly don’t understand the fallacy.

2. The entire comment is sarcasm.

He probably thinks this will be an opportunity to disseminate his super smart, totally original political philosophy. In reality, the judge is going to tell him to shut the fuck up in, what I like to call, “office speech” and he’ll just make the trial that much faster.

I mean, why not? If police are above the law, why shouldn’t the president be? If the Supreme Court justices aren’t held to any standard of accountability, why should the president be? Can’t we, for once, have some logical consistency in this country?

I say it’s a clear-cut case of entrapment. A government agency sets up a school intended to lure young foreign students into applying, being accepted, and then applying for visas. These students have no intention of breaking the law, but through the very nature of the school being fake by government design, their visa is revoked, and they are deported.

It clearly sounds like entrapment.

From the department of Justice (forgive the gendered language, it was written in 1973):

“THE ENTRAPMENT DEFENSE IS USED WHEN AN ACCUSED PERSON ALLEGES THAT HE NEVER WOULD HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME IF A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER HAD NOT INSPIRED, INCITED, PERSUADED AND LURED HIM.”

I didn’t know that of the top of my head, I just vaguely remembered something about it and WW2, so I google the painting.

Strangely enough, that’s how I’ve always imagined it.

It’s actually German, lmao, though the artist grew up in America.

Asian Americans hated on black americans in order to hop on the white supremacy bandwagon. They were one of the good ones! It has blown up in their faces multiple times, including this instance, yet they continue down the path. Fuck 'em.

Advice to all POC: The white establishment and power structures will never see you as equal. Playing their game ends in your loss, always.

A family friend once invited us over to celebrate a promotion. To celebrate, they prepared an expensive meal and had expensive alcohols. The star of the meal was a thinly sliced piece of raw horsemeat. It was not particularly interesting, though it was very tender. I think it was more intended to “share the wealth” than for its actual appeal and flavor profile, though I was a kid and there was a cultural difference, so maybe I’m wrong. Either way, it was an interesting experience.

Look up starting strength. Rippetoe (the author) is an asshole, so hit the seas if you like, but his programming is legit. You won’t spend much time lifting, as compound lifts reduce the time needed, so that should make it easier. You only need to learn 5 lifts and not all at once, either.

It’s a start, I guess. They still need a reckoning for the “Congo free state.” They still have statues to Leopold, for fucks sake.

I understand it very well. My generation doesn’t have shit.
