Ugh, that was a tough read. Not because of the subject matter but just the word and imagery of rape being used as a cudgel. I half expected the article to say, “The raping rapists raped the rapees in their rapeist of rapewear.” 😮‍💨

Depends on profession and location. I live in a major metro area. Pediatrician? Same day if it’s urgent. ENT? 6 months.

POTS (legacy service) is harder to trace but for everything else it shouldn’t be hard to have cryptographic signatures per call. No call signature then you should know immediately the caller is trying to hide something.

MAHA!!!

Would be hilarious if China figured out efficient electrolysis and powered all their stuff using hydrogen but our huge and inefficient data centers needed all of our fresh water.

Hilarious. 😒

The fiber optic requirement really sounds like a bonkers requirement. I imagine most of these camps have a thin margin and asking pretty much any business in remote areas, as camps usually are, would break them.

I hope MAHA is also livid over this.

Pushing sexual material further underground can’t be anything but positive. Look how well prohibition of alcohol worked. /s

It was a critical data point Alito used to make the argument that the kind of discrimination that once made the Voting Rights Act necessary no longer exists.

I’m sorry, when did the necessity of a law become the new litmus test for constitutionality?

Do it again. And again. And again. Louisiana stopped an election in-progress! Lock up the state Court house for asbestos remediation. Call in a tip the state Justices are really illegal immigrants. Close down their kids schools! Trump and his entire admin is risking decades of imprisonment or worse. If we’re not willing to do the same to save the nation we don’t deserve it.

If the Democrats learn anything since 2024 it better be that “fighting fair” doesn’t get you any brownie points. Helping people does. So if you need to fight dirty to breakup monopolies, imprison child sex offenders, lower carbon emissions, and raise teacher salaries you fucking do it.

The next Dem admin should bring meaning back to these names:

• Operation Kegsbreath
• Operation TACO
• Operation Dumb Blondie
• Operation Concepts of a Plan

a.k.a. It’s been too long since we got a fat check from polymarket betting

No matter what, it’s going to take decades to undo Trump’s damage and frankly some of it is permanent. I expect no less than the next Dem President to be a full on leftwing dictator. Tear down the border wall, naturalize a shitload of immigrants, pack the court, yank every penny of aid to Israel, shutter every private prison, send the Nat Guard to Bezo’s house, and delete every record of student loan debt.

Right. I mean, do you think they primed these models with top-secret munitions manuals?

Damn. Usually pleading guilty gets you a lesser sentence. Must have had a really shitty lawyer.

A shared volume could help with this but of course every container needs to be on the same version to benefit from deduplication.

Facebook.

If we fucking show up we can take Texas. Talarico is polling at or above the Republican candidates and they’re still fighting it out while Talarico builds his base.

But wait, if they take over eBay wouldn’t they control a majority of the used game market?
