I find it crazy that politicians wave the flag, call each other "Fellow Americans", but they need to arm themselves against their fellow Americans.

It's what happens when they can't see the forest for the trees.

Yeah. sod the training and accountibility and let everyone have the best of what the police use. Didn't know that. Leave it to the experts is what I say... that's what we pay them for. From Photon Guy's post, I get the sense that the military and police are viewed as forces of oppression, rather than as extensions of the common will, geared towards civility and peace.

Some/a lot of your compatriots need their heads testing. Your laws are, on their own, killing all those people because.... rights. These mass murderers you have are, by and large, very poorly and not intrinsically evil. It can happen to anyone if all of the life-shit happens to fall together at the wrong time. 80 life years x 300 million US people is an awful lot of person-years for these things to happen, if the system enables them, like it does.

That's helluva start in terms of initiating productive thinking strategies.

Be interesting to do a count up of the employees from 'shithole' countries working for these wealthy GOP members.

I think I read the other day Trump doesn't want the border fixing, he wants that to be his election issue. This seems to be why the GOP are in disarray; conflicting directions.

This method of strapping a mask to the face doesn't account/contain for unco-operative, voluntary movements. It's quite possible to hold your breathe for a few minutes.

Yes, pursuing non-medical methods keeps that supply chain out of the ethical process.

Yes, speed and presence of pain. Optimally, one would pass out pretty quickly.

I would have thought helium would be better, with it being inert.

Any thoughts on the potential outcomes this? From what understand, if done correctly with no significant rebreathing of carbon dioxide, they should be unconconcious in a few breathes. If it carries out without incident, the 'cruel and unusual' label won't stand anymore.

I'll MAGA that. lol

They can't all be Liz Cheney's... that takes balls. And there we have it, a black man capuitulating to a racist white man whose busy ripping the electoral eliligibility of a female child of Indian immigrants. Tmp is fkg scm.

The irony is that I'm perfectly aligned with Rabbi Weiss. As he says, one shouldn't conflate Judaism with Zionism. Zionism is only hundred-odd years old. Weiss is internally consistent relative to the official Israeli BS we are fed and legally bound not to oppose. Terrorism and extremism labels are being directed at the wrong groups.

Is considered an extremist. His telling of the history and when it started going awry was in the 1890's, which I independently assessed myself.

Wow. They can't even listen to a 2.5 minute pop record, just the intro.

Is there documented inverse correlations on relative attention span between pre-internet use and present day? edit: I should have added 'inverse' before correlations

Isn't the general definition of normal behaviour that behaviour which is neither pathological to the subject, nor those around them? Social/cultural expectations being accounted for and distinguished.

I used to think dyslexia was rather nebulous until I saw it with my own eyes. I literally saw some letters change on the page to the correct ones after initially misreading it.

In the UK, I've only seen 0F twice that I'm aware of.

OK.

Is that principally by social engineering methods?

Cheers Seth. It was hearing about the Patriot system taking out the Kinzal quite often that got me thinking about it. It was happening too often to just be luck.
