Shouldn’t you be able to get it in in at least some states via ballot measures, from where you can use it to send better people to DC to implement it federally?

First conviction, they’d be concurrent and highly unlikely he’d get max time. However, this is a first conviction, breaking the glass ceiling for convicting an ex president, in the weakest of the four current trials. Sentences become more likely to be jail up to minimum guaranteed imprisonment for some time, because of sentencing guidelines, as well as the terms getting longer for each conviction.
Yes but see, if we just sit on our hands and don’t vote we won’t have any responsibility for what follows! Only voting for someone who is less than ideal on this issue is a morally bad choice!
These companies provided access to the required technologies free of charge, for humanitarian purposes.
They don’t own it, they don’t get paid for it.
“Big corps” aren’t involved here. It’s a philanthropy project, and from what I can find it’s not legally encumbered in any way like Monsanto stuff is. This is entirely Greenpeace doing something that gets headlines, instead of something actually good. Don’t forget that that organization, too, has motives, first among which is going to be survival and advancement of the organization.
If just grow carrots lol was adequate, tell me again why people are deficient in the nutrients golden rice has over baseline rice, please.
I did that. I’m also going to vote against more genocide, done not just abroad but at home.
In the voting booth, there is no “no genocide” button. Your choices come down to “more genocide” and “less genocide”, and you get to push towards one outcome or the other.
Personally, I’m going to take a brave stance against “more genocide”, but if your principles keep you from engaging with the real options, well.
I’m sure the people who die who wouldn’t have otherwise will forgive you.
And you can prove that corruption claim? Because the red team has been busting their asses trying to find something, anything, and they have fuck-all. Waaaah he has a failson, that’s your knockdown argument?
Or did you mean trump, who keeps losing court cases because he’s a corrupt lying rapist with bad taste and hygiene?
Who’s making excuses? I just don’t care. What office is the president’s failson running for again?
FYI: I voted uncommitted to send a message to Biden that I care about Gaza and what happens there. I also recognize that the Republicans will jump in with both feet on “burn it to the ground with nuclear fire”, so I did what I could to communicate with Biden, and will also be voting for him in the general. I’m one vote, but I know I’m not the only person with that view.
Ha-ha, only yes absolutely, with no hint of sarcasm whatsoever.
Jokes on you, I don’t have testicles.
So on some level, sure, boo hoo, cry me a river, right?
But wealth, serious wealth, orders of magnitude disproportionate wealth will fuck you up. It isolates you from the majority of people, makes you paranoid, makes you unable to reasonably judge your success… There’s a Some More News on this, with links to a lot of research, and at this point, I honestly feel like gently separating people from any amount of money over 999m USD at most and using part of it to pay for therapy and the rest to help the rest of humanity might be the kindest thing we could do for them.
Usually he doesn’t pause during that spiel, so I don’t buy it being intentional. It’s normally FEAR FEAR FEAR patter the whole time.
I really, really hate that he’s still enough of a force in our politics that I feel the need to keep aware of him enough to know this.
Super weird how it’s made up but I watched video of the event.
Better hope nothing gets made up at the debates, Donny.
I would love to see research data pointing either way re #1, although it would be incredibly difficult to do so ethically, verging on impossible. For #2, people have extracted originals or near-originals of inputs to the algorithms. AI generated stuff - plagiarism machine generated stuff, runs the risk of effectively revictimizing people who were already abused to get said inputs.
It’s an ugly situation all around, and unfortunately I don’t know that much can be done about it beyond not demonizing people who have such drives, who have not offended, so that seeking therapy for the condition doesn’t screw them over. Ensuring that people are damned if they do and damned if they don’t seems to pretty reliably produce worse outcomes.
And neveryoumind if society as we know it is a mighty pile of suck for people not at the top. Shoulda been born rich white christian cishet males.
You’re missing 1.5: Make it impossible for people who every professional medical association of good repute says said medication help, get the medication by prescription.
The problem in his view, as best I can tell, is that there is a natural hierarchy, that he belongs on top of telling everyone else what to do, and any upset of this natural hierarchy is oppressing him. He may not have thought this out in so many words, but it’s a hypothesis that seems to make accurate predictions about what people in his reference class will do and say.
We can dream.
Americans have a huge hard on for punishing people, regardless of utility.
