Part of me wants to sign up and then do my best to sabotage every operation I could.

That’s the thing. You have to get enough people arrested that the system can’t handle it. Its tough to find that many people willing to make that sacrifice until things get much worse than they are now

For me a PHEV is the sweet spot at current tech levels. I use zero gasoline for my daily commute, but I can go on a long trip anytime I want without worrying about charging station availability.

Its a survey specifically of intimate partner violence, so it’s all situations where the victim knows the perpetrator. (Again,assuming the data is from the source I think it is).

Assuming this is from the NISVS, it is a self-reported victim survey.

I’ve always said the only thing that would turn his fans against him is if Trump blew a black man live on TV.

Jim Bob and Mary Jo are one thing. Find me a Markwayne who is a smart progressive and I’ll admit I was wrong.

Most of the body’s serotonin receptors are in the GI tract. We are only beginning to understand how the body regulates these chemicals.

I will never get over this guy’s name being Markwayne. It just screams ignorant redneck. His name alone should have reason enough to ban him from holding office.

Agreed. Protests that don’t disrupt anything are about as effective as online petitions.

Alfred Krupp, German steel manufacturer, inventor, and the largest arms dealer of his age.

He was obsessed with building cannons and built the first successful breech loading cannon of cast steel. Common wisdom was that such cannons would explode and kill their operators. He kept building cannons even though nobody would buy them.

He was an extreme hypocondriac who also suffered from depression. He would not leave his bed for weeks or months at a time. He would weigh anyone who visited his house and kept over thirty years of records before he died. He loved the smell of horse dung and had his office built over the stables so he could always smell it.

This is true for a lot of forager type animals. Chickens will kill and eat mice if they can. I’ve even seen videos of horses snacking on baby chickens.

“The perfect is the enemy of the good.”

Yes, some cops are going to use chokeholds regardless of bans. Some people are going to commit murder regardless of it being illegal too. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t bother having laws against murder. The fact that chokes are not reduced to zero by chokehold bans does not negate that it reduces the number of chokes used. In the same way, the fact that cops will sometimes shut off their cams does not negate the times that they don’t turn off the cams and it allows victims to seek justice.

I am aware of Killilogy and Warrior Cop training. Cops receiving the wrong training is an entirely separate issue from the cost of improved training.

Finally, please refrain from personal attacks as this detracts from your arguments and violates community guidelines.

And kill all the pets I assume.

I work with elderly people and have known quite a few that were sharp as ever well into their eighties, but when their minds go it happens extremely quickly. At the very least there needs to be mandatory cognitive tests to run and serve after a certain age.

I am hoping that the success of Zohran Mamdani is seen as a blueprint moving forward.

If you want to be gender neutral, American Idiot.

Unpayable debt accruing interest. What a fucking joke.

Democrats still have 23 governorships, control 37% of state legislatures, and 40% of state chambers. Six of the ten most populous states have 2 Democrat senators, three have Republican senators, and one is split. The house is split 219 Republican to 212 Democrat, but the Democrats represent a much larger portion of the population.

The point is, Democrats are far from being out of the game. Nobody else comes close to having a chance of beating Republicans in an election.
