Nothing can enter your bloodstream if you just let it bleed.

Exactly. Just like how fish cannot swim upstream no matter how slow or fast the flow is.

That's not how being a scapegoat works. I know this may come as a shock to many, but the person who gets all the blame DOES NOT usually volunteer for that position.

At this point, this is kbin’s signature “feature”.

Headline: Thousands traumatized by fire on island.

Earthquake, hurricane, I guess locust are going to be a Wednesday thing?

I mean, if someone didn’t ask Donald Trump to pay upfront, that’s kinda on them at this point.

They could break the system from the bottom but for whatever reason aren't.

Comfort. The system as it is, is predictable. Not just the voting public but members of Congress too. Good example the FED rate. At any point Congress could have put forth fiscal policy to address the looming monetary situation that quantitative easing was very clearly bringing. But they didn't because no one wanted to be the group that ended the party. Because what would happen if they implemented policy and then poof, slow down of the economy or inflation?

But of course we know what happened. No fiscal policy got implemented and basically we kept riding that gravy train till it was completely untenable. Then monetary policy had to be implemented. Then came a massive spike in inflation. Congress was so scared to implement any kind of policy that they basically ensured the thing they didn't want happening.

Then you've got folks like Senator Elizabeth Warren trying to blame the FED chairman and it is like, "No, you're inaction Senator is why the FED chairman must do the things he must do. All 100 of you are culpable in this, you all sat there and did nothing."

But of course one brings this up and some folks want to try and hijack it like "See both sides!" Or you get "No the other team is much worse!" And the reality is, most members of Congress are just too sheepish to implement any kind of bold policy. Because what if it doesn't work? There's the obvious bunch that are seen most often in the news, but there's way more members than the ones that seek out face time on the TV. And those are the majority.

The majority of Congress just wants to push the button they're told to push, collect their paycheck, and move on. And that is why we see no motion. The polarization is the visible figureheads battling it out, but the real culprit is indifference and a desire to maintain the comfortable world that has known qualities. Very rarely is actual original thought obtained in the US Congress.

Anecdote: The local high school I see nearly no one using the built in text messaging system. WhatsApp is the thing I see most often. Quite a few use Signal.

I have even heard once that, "You use iMessage to text your parents or your FBI agent."

So you may be on to something. But obvious YMMV in general.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Roblox Corporation, accusing the developer of facilitating "an illegal gambling ecosystem" and violating a federal law.

The complaint was signed by Chief Inspector Slowpoke

Post a link because SHIT JUST GOT REAL.

I mean... gestures towards the surroundings We've got a pretty large pile of "Oh shit, we're fucked" stacked up here already. I guess add it to the pile?

When you buy a Bored Ape, you’re not simply buying an avatar or a provably rare piece of art, you are gaining membership access to a club whose benefits and offerings will increase over time. Your Bored Ape can serve as your digital identity, and open digital doors for you.

Excuse me, I'm going to go vomit and then drink kerosene.

Just FYI. The dismissal isn't to let Hunter Biden off the hook. It's because the plea deal fell apart which was to lesser charges. The lesser charges are being dismissed so that a different set of charges can be brought forth. Likely to be more serious charges, likely criminal tax evasion which could get him five years per count.

They just said that they had no formal filings before the court until they have had a chance to review all of the evidence.

Kind of one of the reasons why they want to push the trial to 2026. So, yeah, they are totally not going to do that any time soon, if ever.

Requiring that providers collect identifying information and document every customer interaction would be highly disruptive to consumers seeking information through alternative sales channels and would impose significant burdens on providers of all sizes

I assure you, if you've ever inquiry to prices via third party sales channels, they've got your marketing information anyway. This statement is pure bullshit.

Windows 12: Paintbrush now comes with ads to Microsoft's subscription AI Paintbrush service. Also bucket fill is now a $0.49 DLC.

Yeah the Florida law is still in effect until it's been fully reviewed by the courts. There is not a moving on so long as the underlying law remains. In this whole thing DeSantis is attempting to place himself as having this outsized role.

The reality is that the legislative branch of Florida feels a need to target companies at the behest of the governor. And the matter of law is that, no you can't just pick on companies for saying your law is shit.

Since our skirmish last year, Disney has not been involved in any of those issues. They have not made a peep. That, ultimately, is the most important, that Disney is not allowed to pervert the system to the detriment of Floridians.

— Governor DeSantis

And Disney would be fucking stupid to just stop now especially after that kind of comment that is quite literally a confession to a violation of their first amendment right. If this is the rationale for the law against Disney then, yes, there's zero ways the law is Constitutional.

The guy has fucked himself in terms of running for president and this lawsuit will absolutely decimate any legacy for his Governorship of Florida. The GOP has a tendency to only put up with useful idiots, and this man's utility is about to have run its course. I'll credit DeSantis in that at least he's smart enough to know he's about to receive a swift boot to his ass from his political party. Combine with him making himself a pariah in pretty much every other political circle, he better hope that savings nest egg lasts him long enough for his mea culpa to play out and perhaps get him some low level job commenting on Fox.

Well let's look at what you've brought to the table. Dismissiveness of folks who want to keep on topic and balme games for when your feeling get hurt by pointing out you're hijacking the thread.

So yeah, you're absoultely wanting to fix things here. You've done a banged up job thus far. You've acted like a child this conversation to everyone. You want an adult conversation but fuck you've acting in no matter of sorts. So, cool I think the convseration here is done. I've got better things to do than to speak with someone acting like a six year old who cannot even stay on topic.

Like how did you expect to debate things when you just wanted to keep changing the topic? Do you not know that? Everyone knows that's just a tactic people wanting to NOT HAVE a conversation do, to prevent the conversation. And then get upset and emotional when they get called out on it. That's what small children do. I was nice, I was giving you benefit of the doubt, and you just were like fuck it. So I'm calling it like I see it, you're acting immature and outrage that everyone is treating you as such. How SHOULD we treat you when you will not treat anyone else here in like manner? Hmmm?

So yeah, this talk is over. You have you and perhaps that'll be enough for you to figure out how to actually talk to people like an adult.

Next year. Should have combo shots next year. The hope was to have them ready this year, but we’ll be in the middle of flu season this year when they’re expected to be approved.

Of course with anything, unexpected things can derail that plan, but everything stay the course, one shot should be next year.

Various factors can play on if the place you go to will have the combo shot though, so there’s that too.

We wanted HTML as complex as Adobe Flash. When we got it, the standard became so complex no way smaller players that didn't dedicate massive resources to keeping up could possibly keep up.

There was just no way to keep presto up to date with the ever evolving web without a massive new source of income for Opera.
