  • Who fucking cares? What is it going to do really? There has been so much publicity of their relationship, it doesn’t change anything. Will it result in charges against Trump? Unlikely, the only one I know of who was willing to put herself and her family at risk, is dead (suicide).

    His supporters will find a way to excuse anything away. There could be a picture of Trump assaulting a young teen and they would just say it’s not his fault she looked older than she was.

    To those in this thread saying anything released shouldn’t be redacted, remember there were victims, this wasn’t just Jeff and Don having a brobait with each other.

    I’m sick of the Democrats and their shitty platitudes, because that’s all this is. Demand compassion and due process for the millions being terrified by federally protected kidnappers. Demand that Republicans meet to discuss the phasing out of some of the TPS rules (temporary is in the name and just because there is an EO doesn’t mean there can’t be a law that changes it). Demand that we stop defending the atrocities of megalomaniacs around the world. Demand that the legislative branch takes back the power of the purse and writes laws to affect trade.

    Might be the only time I agree with the ball of congealed Cheeto vomit, but why the fuck are we still talking about Epstein?






  • I’ve come to the realization, at least where I live, that a hell of a lot of accidents are prevented because of drivers who are actually aware and safe. This goes a bit beyond defensive driving IMO. I’m talking flat out accident avoidable. There is an entire class of drivers who are not even aware of the accidents they have almost caused because someone else managed to avoid their stupid driving.

    The majority of accidents that are likely to happen with these robocoffins will be single car or robocoffin meets robocoffin. The numbers on safety after a year will be acceptable because non accident causing error prone driving is not reported in any official capacity.

    I still maintain that the only safe way to have autonomous vehicles on the road is if they do not share the road with human drivers and have an open standard for communicating with other autonomous cars.













  • contraceptive method intended to prevent fertilization of an embryo.

    Have we forgotten the pullout method? Blowjobs, handjobs, etc also seem to be methods intended to prevent fertilization. Even masterbation is a fine way to prevent fertilization.

    I’m also a bit confused here. My 6th grade biology taught me that you have eggs and sperm and that when they combine, you get an embryo. You don’t fertilize an embryo, you fertilize an egg.

    Like most of these laws, it seems this one was written by idiots or written specifically to not be enforceable.



  • Something that has been bothering me lately. Reasonable people who counter the toxic misinformation leaving the platform only allows the disease to grow and spread. But reality is they weren’t reaching the people that needed the dose of reality anyway. And then I realized that the algorithms have always been the disease, my feeds are my own echo chamber to drive engagement, just as theirs are. I’ve pretty much cut all social networks out. The only way to change minds is honest respectable conversation, and I am not a person to change anyone’s mind.

    We’re fucked
