The considered ban on masks was for protesters.

The idea of not allowing anonymity for protesters has its origins in combating racial violence and the KKK. Klan members suddenly lost a lot of their motivation to assemble in public, once they had to show their faces, those that did were less likely to commit illegal acts and the ones that did break the law were more likely to face legal reprocutions.

The contemplated ban on masks for protesters in Los Angeles was considered following increased violence by masked protesters and was not motivated by covid denial.

He might run out the clock.

For me, it would essentially need to be a TARDIS.

Whenever I think of immortality I immediately go to the end of all other life and the idea of knowing that I would eventually be doomed to an inescapable existence of total isolation. Long before that, but hundreds of years from now, I am sure that I would go literally insane with boredom. I need to know that there will always be something new, different, and interesting. A TARDIS would allow me to go anywhere, anytime, with anyone.

I also fear eternal life in some preeminent imprisonment, either some form of external confinement, like being trapped at the bottom of the ocean by the crushing weight of the water around me, some form of locked-in syndrome. A TARDIS could operate on its own to save me from such a fate.

If eternity ever becomes too much, a TARDIS would also give some options to potentially end my existence.

“suddenly take a dangerous turn”?

What direction did they think his actions were headed?

A survey of 18,000 Americans released in March pointed to flexible work schedules helping mental health.

It’s almost like the work force actually values the quality of their lives more than … umm, honestly I’ve never been able to figure out a positive side for companies pushing RTO. Report after report show remote work improves productivity, employee retention, is perceived as a significant perk to attract new talent, and reduces corporate overhead (that last one is just an assumption on my part).

Seriously, what is the attraction for RTO?

The phrase “diversity hire” implies that they were not hired for their abilities. It attacks the person looking for a job rather than one making the hiring decision. So yes, it is a slur.

The purpose of phrases like “diversity hire” is to dehumanize and marginalize without ever having to learn anything about the person you don’t like and you won’t bring about inclusion by embracing those tactics, but it is noticed and called out, but it is done as a conversation and against the individual doing the hiring, not against a group of people who were hired and did nothing wrong.

At least that has been my experience.

As I understand it, the warden as the authority to add such monitoring, but regulations only require supervision to the degree of preventing contraband from being passed between visitors and inmates. While I found no confirmation for this, I cannot imagine the warden of a minimum security facility wanting to spend a portion of their budget on this level of surveillance.

Odd response. I am curious to know what reportable offense OP thinks I committed.

You seemed really confused why somebody would be upset about 8,000 dead children and also stated that you were “happy” about the updated numbers.

I dream most nights, though the dreams themselves very rarely make it into my long term memory and are forgotten within minutes of waking up.

You are “happy” about 8,000 dead children?

It’s a minimum security Federal Prison Camp where inmates can escape by simply waking away. Even when convicted, these traitors don’t do hard time.

I cannot find confirmation on this, but I suspect the reason for the visit is that in-person visits are less likely to be monitored and “safer” for discussing illegal or incriminating topics. Can’t imagine any other reason for Donnie Jr to go there in person.

Today, under 5,000 women and 8,000 children are now officially listed by the UN as casualties.

Is that supposed to be the good news?

The Fair Representation Act has been re-introduced in Congress. This bold solution can stop gerrymandering and make Congress work for every American.

Maybe it’s the news I’ve been consuming recently, but I feel like this makes for a great political comic.

For those, like me, who had never heard of BRICS before this article.

BRICS is an intergovernmental organization comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. Originally identified to highlight investment opportunities,[1] the grouping evolved into a cohesive geopolitical bloc, with their governments meeting annually at formal summits and coordinating multilateral policies since 2009.

Some refrigerators can dispense cold filtered water.

The intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited,

So just bring a camera to film it and say the express purpose is to make art, educational videos, documentaries, study dispersal patterns, etc.

It’s totally cool to affect the environment accidentally or as a biproduct of another activity.

They look like Firethorn berries.
