Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

  • 2024 State Races Megapost!

  • the idea that it would hurt small business is a smoke screen.

    Yeah, the ultra wealthy are always claiming that if they have to pay their fair share then all of society will suffer. 🙄 118 honestly sounds fine to me, but the array of groups I trust that were against it gave me pause. I voted no, hoping to avoid another case of doing the right thing the wrong way.

  • TIL that "28 U.S. Code § 1498 - Patent and copyright cases" allows the US government to ignore patents and copyrights without permission or license.

  • If we just extend that rule to everyone we'd have better cheaper stuff and fewer rich people to boot.

  • As medieval and renaissance scholars regained interest in the pagan past, they wrote about it in latin. That's why we still largely use the latinized names.

    These scholars used latin partly because it was the lingua franca of their elite audience, but also that way the only people who could read it would have had a proper church education. And thus less likely to be lead from the path of righteousness by these pagans and all their wicked thinkin'.

    This practice of using latin for religiously risque material continues well into the modern period, where the sexy parts of native american myths were marked by an abrupt shift into latin. I believe the first scientific account of penguin necrophilia was written in latin as well.

  • Epstein showed me photos of Trump with topless young women sitting in his lap, claims author

  • that affirm your position.

    I'm looking for news that affirms reality. Trump's public record words and actions already left no doubt that he's molested children. This writer's credible but unsourced account is just to remind people that trump has molested children, something that most people realize from trump's words, actions, associates attitude.

    When something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, hangs out with ducks, eats bread at the park, and admits in public and private to being a duck - it's unreasonable to argue that we can't assume it's a duck.

  • US officials say video falsely depicting voter fraud in Georgia linked to 'Russian influence actors'

    Jump

  • Twitter is run by a russian influence actor. Facebook has been hosting russian influence operation content for what a decade now? Fox gleefully pushes that stuff. There's a host of grifters and alt-right entry-point content online that's lousy with it.

    It's crazy how much of our media space has been seized by brutal foreign oligarchs. I feel like it wouldn't have been this easy for them if we hadn't spent decades letting brutal domestic oligarchs take almost all our media space.

  • Take Trump out of it for a second

    But then it becomes a completely different scenario.

    Trump has repeatedly admitted to molesting women, he's bragged about forcing his way into women's locker rooms, he joked openly and without judgement of epstein's love of kids, he has scores of sexual assault allegations, he has enough money and clout to cover up his rapes and he's been convicted of illegally covering up legal but embarrassing sexual encounters.

    Trump has definitely molested children, it is a fact. It's literally beyond a shadow of a doubt.

  • It is interesting to see how different acceptable public behavior is now.

    I presume that anyone following politics knows that can't hurt trump, at least.

    Jump

  • Ah, I think I misunderstood then. It sounded to me like you were saying that young meant young but still of legal age.

  • Epstein showed me photos of Trump with topless young women sitting in his lap, claims author

    Jump

  • Legal. Probably why they used that term.

    I doubt it.

    There's no point mentioning it at all if the topless women were obviously legal, but plenty of reasons to be unclear if they were obviously underage.

    Mentioning epstein and "young" women very clearly implies underage, without opening the door to defamation.

  • Trump has definitely molested children. He's a serial rapist whose hang-out buddies are some of the world's most prominent pedophiles.

    Even if trump wasn't specifically asking for children, there's no way he's checking IDs before he sexually assaults victims of trafficking.

    As recent CEOs of large, publicly traded companies, we have discretion to speak out

    Jump

  • CEOs tend to be people who have worked their way up through large organizations ... servant leaders who have succeeded by bringing people together to win as a team, with integrity, global thinking, and open minds.

    Incredible that someone could believe that, say it with a straight face and still not be gullible enough to support trump.

  • According to someone who worked in marketing for pringles in taiwan, pringles consumers are more likely to be "type a" sorts - controlling, finicky, prefer heavily structured environments, highly value neatness, etc.

  • Children pick up language at different rates. But also, while most kids learn words and build up, some learn to deploy whole chunks.

    My cousin could say "Excuse me daddy could I please have a cookie?" at like 2 iirc. It sounds very advanced when you hear it, but she couldn't, for example, replace 'a cookie' with 'that' or direct the request to me rather than her dad.

    Once kids have learned more and more chunks they can sound very proficient, but it's still just normal child language acquisition. Of course people gifted in language can happen too.

  • Baby-talk is a universal human phenomenal and almost certainly plays an important role in helping kids learn language.

    The implication that not using baby talk somehow unlocks rapid development of language is simply not true.
