What’s not to believe?

Thank you!

The star date was 20154, which calculates to 1966-09-09T00:30:00+00:00 in earth time. 🤓

You can use kill -l (lowercase L) to see a list of signals. But IIRC it’s the same as -KILL.

EDIT: fixed the signal name.

Nah, we gotta kill, preferably with -9. 🤣

The rights of children, especially privacy, has never been a priority for anybody except the children themselves.

Thought I’d give the ol’ tineye a try myself, and look eg the rabbit hole I discovered:

Oh man. My ex absolutely hated it when I was right. She would get so mad at me for it too. It was ok for other people to be right when she was wrong; just not me. 🤣

This sickens me to no end. I’ve been searching for any sort of recourse for judges who do not uphold their oath or follow the rules of being a judge. There doesn’t seem to be any.

Not only that, the so-called rules use l gauge such as “You SHOULD…”, which to me suggests there is wiggle room to not follow the rule. On top of that, there seems to be something called Absolute Immunity (look in the section titled Notable judges involved in misconduct allegations), which is a doctrine made by judges to protect judges.

This is bullshit. How the hell could the judicial system skirt any sort of accountability, but the executive and congressional branches do not? I mean all three branches pretty much get away with everything anyway, but at least there is a slim possibility that the other two can be punished. Not judges though. They are untouchable. No wonder Alito and Thomas are so brazen in their snubbing the “rules”.

I’m fucking disgusted and need to get off the internet for the night.

There should be a service that people can sign up for that would have someone call, text, or email to check in on people with no family or friends. That way if something does happen to them, and they do not respond to repeated attempts at checking in, authorities can be notified sooner than 4 days later.

And I bet someone smarter than myself could figure out a way to have the service subsidized so it is not expensive for people to use; especially older folks who may be on a fixed income.

Goes to show what you know! I don’t even have an upstairs! Because I live in a single story! So take that! 🧏

Yes, and I absolutely need the same tab three or four+ times. It helps with navigation and not having to remember positions in the 70+ stack of tabs where something is.

If ever there was a compelling reason to get a Paramount+ subscription, this just might be it.

You’re mad. Fine. No need for the entitled, emotional outburst. Has that actually ever worked your favor?

If you’re that fed up with AT&T, get a different service provider. Know that if you do, you’ll have the same things happen there that you feel so incredulous by from AT&T.

Where do I sign up?

Here is why I disagree with you (and it’s my fault for how I worded things):

Breaking your arm and suicide are not exactly equal, because one is something that happens to you, and the other is a means to deal with something that happened to you. N other words, you don’t feel the act of suicide itself. You feel like you want to commit suicide.

So with the broken arm analogy, I should have worded it differently. Maybe I should have said that you wouldn’t ridicule or chastise somebody who put their arm in a cast because it was broken. Suicide is a choice made by a person who feels that all other choices have failed them, and they see no other option to stop hurting.

Maybe they’ve tried therapy, medication, talking to a friend or loved one. Maybe they’ve just touched it out in silence for years; maybe they are still touching it out now. They feel like they are in a cluttered room, the lights went out, and everything keeps moving so they keep bumping into stuff finding their way out.

For some people suicide is not a choice, though they wish it were. So they sit in their dark little room, frozen and afraid to try to find their way out because they know the furniture keeps moving around. They sit and they wait, quietly praying that every time they go to sleep that by the grace of <deity>, they won’t wake up. Or maybe that they’ll be driving down the rose — by themselves — and get hit by a drunk driver in a head-on collision. This is called Passive Suicidal Ideation. It’s real, and just as bad as suicide itself.

Here’s a secret: suicidal people do not want to end their life. They want to enjoy life, just like everybody else does. The difference is that they feel burned out, backed into a corner, and desperate to find a way out of this situation. It’s like recoiling and protecting your broken arm from being touched. You don’t want to make the pain worse.

If it means anything to you, my responses were not meant as accusations or attacks. Merely observations of the things I’ve personally seen. But I can appreciate your view of things, and I respect that you may disagree.

Now that you mention it, I just realized I meant socialism and not communism. Thank you.

I’d like to apologize that you felt my response was dismissive. I certainly did not intend to make anybody feel that way. I didn’t have any specific examples to give, so I approached it from an anecdotal point of view based on my personal experiences.

But it’s still only 8/31! /s 🤦‍♂️

PS: too bad there isn’t yet the concept of user flairs. Mine could be a calendar or broken clock (or clown).
