There was stuff stronger than 3.2, 3.2 was just the limit for grocery stores and gas stations. Anything else had to be from the liquor store, and couldn’t be cold. So you were out of luck if you wanted Dogfishhead or nicer brews that needed to be refrigerated.
Facebook also makes it very hard as an adult to monitor a teens social media use and protect them. I was working with a teen who was joining dating groups made for adults, and the tools wouldn’t let me see the messages being sent. Wouldn’t let me report the groups.
You never budget for a grocery store trip? You never walk into a store with $10 and think about how many cokes or whatever you can buy?
Just because someone’s not handing you an algebra worksheet, doesn’t mean you aren’t doing algebra.
Wouldn’t the ideal be self hosted content made by the people hosting it? Obviously there’s no mechanical means to block people from uploading content that they don’t make, but those kinds of ethical questions and control of access can be handled by federation networks.
Decentralizing these things could lead to a better way for sex workers to work safely (SESTA/FOSTA closed up a lot of safer avenues for sex work in the US) There’s a lot of rules for trust that you can build into these systems, things like basic encryption with private and public keys.
Someone who didn’t want their content online could take it down easily. They could easily gate it - like, think about where most of the profit the actresses and actors videos go to now? If you are watching stuff for free on a website, it’s the website getting ad revenue and maybe the company. Do they get royalties? Workers should own the means of their reproduction.
Are you guys seriously defending the vax or am i just not smart
Stitt has been doing his damnedest to fuck with McGirt. There’s regular social media meltdowns over indigenous hunting and fishing rights.
The state is corrupt to its core - the FBI was literally created because of a massive and high level conspiracy to bomb Osage natives and take their land rights, which the Oklahoma government could not be trusted to investigate. There are lots of small towns where the law is whatever the guy who owns the car dealership says.
I guess he just declared for lieutenant governor, not the main governor. I follow him a bit because he’s unfortunately attracted the people who are angry about our shitshow of a child welfare system.
Drummond will probably win, which is goddamn frustrating because he presents himself as a “moderate” when he’s just as raving of a lunatic as the rest of them. (Refusing to press charges on the cop who beat the shit out of that Vietnamese man, not doing shit about Walters…)
The rat fuckers really love the cowboy aesthetic. But you’ll never see mud on those boots.
He’s also famous for trying to pass a bill to make schools call animal control on “furries,” and attempting to legalize cockfighting.
I loved Space Funeral! It feels like such a love letter to fucking around and making something unique.
The Right is attacking the idea of academic knowledge. It’s Curtis Yarvin’s hatred of the “cathedrals.”
If corporations are people, shouldn’t creating/generating CSAM be enough to receive some sort of punishment/consequence?
How many teenage girls have killed themselves due to bullying facilitated by “AI”?
God this. Before I was stupid enough to reach out to a crisis line, I had a job with health insurance. Now I have worsened PTSD and no health insurance (the psych hospital couldn’t be assed to provide me with discharge papers.) I get to have nightmares for the rest of my life about a three men shoving me around and being unable to sleep for fear of being assaulted again.
There’s some sort of lawsuit with retaliation over whistleblowers/racism, and I think the guy was recording to make sure that any salary promises were documented. The whole situation seems fucked.
The companies Facebook is getting wrecked by the “MAHA” crowd, which is pretty hilarious. They are not happy about the bio-engineered meat.
You may ask why Judas didn’t get a book? He wrote one. But it was not included because he was the traitor who betrayed Jesus.
More that it was a weird heretical Gnostic text. And extremely doubtful that it would have been Judas who wrote it - really seems more like a second century text. There are tons of pseudepigraphal gospels floating around.
I imagine it would be against abortion, for example, since the act of a married het couple is an act of God and the fetus would have a soul. It would be less sure if the parents were not married, but I think it would still be against it.
See the ordeal of the bitter water for what the Bible has to say on abortion.
Some of the apocryphal gospels seem really embarrassed about the idea of Mary being a commoner/spinning clothes for money.
There are very old rumors about Jesus being the son of a Roman soldier who raped Mary.
There’s probably something we can peer at, through a glass darkly, about her somewhere there.
See Bill Ackerman and Herbalife.
Federal regulators should have shut that shit down ages ago, but the grifter party loves MLMs (look at how the DeVos family made their money…)
There’s also the childish desire for an “I told you so” as they watch anyone they don’t like being sent to hell.
I see the same quote in other articles
Yeah, it makes absolutely no sense.
This bill is simply making it so Oklahoma state lawmakers cannot drink while on the job. Which apparently is a problem.
(Our First Lady has crashed two state vehicles under the influence. No blood test, no loss of license. Governors son was drinking and caught with guns he wasn’t supposed to have. There were no consequences.)
