Dick Durbin gave me a bullshit reply.

Fuck him.

Or reading “am I the asshole” or “relationship advice” posts.

Fuck. I hate so much of this crap.

Nedry bid for the job. He was literally the cheapest.

Ah yes. A bias tracker from the same people who posted on every official site “the radical left democrats shut down the government.”

These people are ridiculous

So you think it’s smarter to wear a seatbelt, you wear yours but are somehow annoyed that it might ding at someone else for something you yourself think is unsafe and wouldn’t do?

Yes. Or for my backpack thats in the backseat and sitting just right to trigger the sensor.

The backseat warning is so kids don’t get left in the back as easily and neglectful parents have an extra step to ignore which plays against them in court. Are you somehow for some reason for children playing pizza oven because their parents neglected them?

Don’t misconstrue my words to say I’m for roasting kids. But I am against the constant alerts without any means to turn them off.

I’m just curious, are you also against it being illegal for fridge doors to be produced with a latch that only operates from outside the fridge?

That’s a ridiculous false equivalency. The things I’m against are annoyances, not trapping people in cars.

Cars make noises for fucking everything now. I’m not against rear view cameras on the surface. But mandating things like that also mean mandating a screen in the car, usually the infotainment system. And I prefer cars without screens.

Any single thing, I’m not particularly against. But it’s been a cumulative effect where there are too many things where I can’t make a decision on how an object I bought and own behaves.

It’s shit like not letting me, as a passenger, use half the damn infotainment because the vehicle is in motion.

Dinging noises for seatbelts, for instance. I always wear mine. But I don’t think cars should annoy you if passengers don’t. Or if I put something in my backseat.

I genuinely just want a basic car. No frills. No nav, no infotainment, just a basic radio with Bluetooth. I don’t want lane assist, or for the car to have radar when parking telling me how close I am to the drive thru window.

Eh, I’m somewhat for less shit to break. But I also think cars should be the size of the 90s Miata. And simple enough people can work on them at home.

I’m against most of the nanny safety items that only exist to annoy me if I do something potentially unsafe.

While I agree with much of what you said, there are other issues with psychology and psychiatry that they often can’t treat some environmental causes or triggers. When I was suicidal, it was also the feeling of being trapped in a job where I wasn’t appreciated and couldn’t advance.

If I were placed in an inpatient facility, it would only have exacerbated the issues where I would have so much to deal with the try and be on medical leave before I got fired for not showing up.

That said, for SOME mental illnesses ECT it can be a valid treatment. We don’t know how the brain works, but we’ve seen correlation where ECT kind of resets the way the brain perceives the world temporarily. All medical decisions need to be weighed against the side effects and determined if the benefits outweigh the risks.

The other issue with inpatient facilities is that they can be incredibly hard to convince the staff that you are doing better. All actions are viewed through the lens that you are ill and showing the staff you are better is just trying to trick the staff to get out.

I’m amused that if this does get stopped by judges, and the other one recently reportedly blocked for the same reason in another state, that if California redistricts their maps it’s really going to be the GOP shooting themselves in the foot.

Have you looked at the towns on that site?

So many are just “possible” and they don’t list ANY supporting evidence or links to primary sources. I was super intrigued because I thought it was a cool resource, but my city has one comment saying that someone who supposedly lived there in the 50s heard someone say that blacks weren’t welcome.

Some have literally no comment even.

It doesn’t even say these ARE current sundown towns, just ones they someone suspects could have been LITERALLY EVER IN THEIR PAST.

It was down the last few times I checked

I’d raise hell if my kid was told parents don’t need to get involved. It’s not like the parent wasn’t going to hear about it as soon as she got home.

If there is pornographic material being made about my child, I should be the first person the school calls. And immediately.

I can only be so harsh on the boy. He is a child as well. And while he should be held accountable for the sexual assault, saying he is sexually abusing a child makes it sound like he’s some pedophile. It’s normal a 13 year old would be attracted to another 13 year old.

One that gets me are things that are arguably not matches get loaded, and for some reason are higher on the list.

For instance, when I type “fre” then Freecad is the first result. But if I continue to type “free” then it changes to discord for some reason. I routinely open the wrong application because of this.

Too often they treat what these people say as if it the news itself. Unbiased, and a source of truth. Reporting has just become gossip repeating the worse people say.
