dragonflyteaparty,

Literally anything you want that doesn’t hurt someone.

dragonflyteaparty,

Honestly, it seems like someone came up with very strange definitions that don’t actually work.

dragonflyteaparty,

They have bone conduction ear phones now that can be picked up online

Yo, that’s dope. As someone who is partially deaf, but mostly hears fine, I’m curious about this.

dragonflyteaparty,

No it’s not. One isn’t the greatest, sure. But the other actively wants to make the US a Christian theocracy.

dragonflyteaparty,

I’m confused. Does the fall of Roe, book bans, banning of trans care, the fact that the speaker of the house wants the Bible to be taught as an historical text, project 2025, the radicalization of the Republican party, Trump running again, and so much more not mean anything to you?

dragonflyteaparty,

It takes someone willfully ignorant to think this is the same shit.

dragonflyteaparty,

This would be completely ineffectual. Gen z number about the same as boomers. If they showed up in the same percentage, we’d have our change. Not showing up makes it that much harder down the road. Given the plan of 2025, I firmly believe that if we have another Republican president, that even the pretense of a US democracy is over.

dragonflyteaparty,

You have to win for that to count.

dragonflyteaparty,

Are you a troll or do you seriously not know what’s going on?

dragonflyteaparty,

If that were true, enough people would have to actually all do it at once. That in itself gives people enough fear to keep going to work.

dragonflyteaparty,

You’re not wrong there, but if you are at the “wrong” protest or the wrong skin color, you can easily find yourself in jail, the hospital, or dead from protesting peacefully.

dragonflyteaparty,

Nah, a quarter of us protest for it, a quarter protest against it, and half pretend that both sides do the same thing and bury their heads in the sand.

dragonflyteaparty,

So, every single person can do exactly what you did and have every single opportunity that you had?

dragonflyteaparty,

So for electrical fires, they use carbon dioxide to smother the fire and sodium bicarbonate to aid in putting it out, along with class c fire extinguishers. Class c are just carbon dioxide.

For chemical fires, carbon dioxide extinguishers are also used. They can use extinguishers with bromochlorodifluoromethane, aka Halon 1211, (which I guess could be a pfas chemical, but I don’t find anything either way).

dragonflyteaparty,

Block all news sites and communities for a few weeks and see how you feel.

I wouldn’t suggest this for extended periods. Imo, it’s how people don’t know and become apathetic about politics and only hear the highest airplane level that seeps through.

dragonflyteaparty,

Permafrost is already melting in alarming amounts. We’d probably have to take drastic action immediately. I don’t mean in a few years or a decade. Now like, this year. But that’s not going to happen.

A Lab Test That Experts Liken to a Witch Trial Is Helping Send Women to Prison for Murder in Multiple U.S. States (www.propublica.org)

The “lung float” test claims to help determine if a baby was born alive or dead, but many medical examiners say it’s too unreliable. Yet the test is still being used to bring murder charges — and get convictions....

dragonflyteaparty,

ProPublica then contacted the 12 medical examination offices and discovered that only two actually used the test at all, and none of them considered the results definitive proof of live birth.

Source?

Note that they were aware of which offices had performed the 11 tests they were aware of, and yet they could not find anyone willing to “[express] full-throated support for the test.”

This is the full quote. “None of the 12 largest offices by jurisdiction expressed full-throated support for the test.” They didn’t state that the 12 largest offices were the ones who performed the tests. What you posted was taken out of context and given new context.

Here’s the surrounding context to give more insight. Nowhere did they state that these 12 offices who didn’t express support for the test are the ones who did the test.

" Cook County, home to Chicago, pathologists use it, but give more weight to “more reliable methods” including X-rays, microscopic examinations and autopsy findings to determine whether a birth was live or still. Others, like the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, said the test may be useful only if a baby was not born into a toilet, CPR was not performed and decomposition was not present. None of the 12 largest offices by jurisdiction expressed full-throated support for the test.

And while the national organization that represents medical examiners said that it doesn’t have an official stance on the lung float test, it said it “strongly advocates using scientifically validated and evidence-based practices in forensic pathology.” The National Association of Medical Examiners called the lung float test “a single, dated test” that has not been subjected to the organization’s rigorous evaluation process."

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

dragonflyteaparty,

Their point still stands.

dragonflyteaparty, (edited )

It does seem like it would fall under “no discrimination based on ancestry”, but I feel like a lawyer could argue otherwise.

dragonflyteaparty,

Hmmm, maybe second worst to Trump himself.

dragonflyteaparty,

Anyone can pee and stand. It’s just whether or not you make a giant mess of it, but you don’t have to be female to do that.

dragonflyteaparty,

Don’t listen to them. They’re exaggerating. Fuck cars is about wanting infrastructure to make more places walkable, not insisting everywhere must be walkable or accessible by public transit. Even though that would be cool, that’s so far from the actual truth.

dragonflyteaparty,

Right? This is, and always has been, my favorite season. I don’t care if people call it “basic”.

America's nonreligious are a growing, diverse phenomenon. They really don't like organized religion (apnews.com)

Mike Dulak grew up Catholic in Southern California, but by his teen years, he began skipping Mass and driving straight to the shore to play guitar, watch the waves and enjoy the beauty of the morning. “And it felt more spiritual than any time I set foot in a church,” he recalled....

dragonflyteaparty,

Quote from the Bible?

dragonflyteaparty,

Which all need to stop unless they fall under Romeo and Juliet laws.

dragonflyteaparty,

Democrats have demonstrated… but it’s never in the mainstream media.

dragonflyteaparty,

Exactly what part of that do you consider to have the sole purpose of hurting someone’s feelings? Cause that’s what catty means. I think it was damn good for a Congress who’s been hamstrung by gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisment, and voter apathy. You want those things to come to pass? Get Republicans out of office.

dragonflyteaparty,

So cool. Then you also think Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.), Vernon, Don Beyer, and Dean Philips are so much worse, right? The more money, the more terrible they are, right? Then you also have Rick Scott, Mark Warner, Mitt Romney, and Mike Braun. All terrible people even though you possibly only know two facts about them.

dragonflyteaparty,

So you’re not here to actually discuss the issue. Got it.

dragonflyteaparty,

So those people don’t deserve full protections of the constitution, privacy laws, lawyers if their stuff gets searched, and should be arrested if they don’t comply…?

dragonflyteaparty,

Currently going through this with my six year old. It’s really hard to help her learn to read without just doing it for her over and over because pronunciation is shit. She can’t just sound it out when the same letter sounds three different ways.

dragonflyteaparty,

And? What’s your point? We’ve had several presidents in the last, what 30-40 years, who lost the popular vote but got to be president anyway because we decided some states matter more than others.

dragonflyteaparty,

The whole thing? Has the whole thing been looked at and revised? Or are you counting each and every amendment as an “update”? That’s not an update to me. It’s an addition that ignored the many flaws with the way we run our country.

dragonflyteaparty,

That’s not really implementing… You left out every bit of context.

  • They waited and said no, we won’t confirm Garland and then got the majority and pushed through a justice during an election.
  • They’re ignoring laws and passing their own book bans that their now regressive Supreme Court is cool with.
  • And the end of Roe v Wade was accomplished at least in part but that same saying no and waiting.
dragonflyteaparty,

I’m fairly certain that Democrats didn’t hold all branches of government with a majority in both houses for a full eight years.

dragonflyteaparty,

Sure, you’re not wrong. That is a change. But I don’t think that many people would call each and every amendment an update. If that’s your argument, though, the constitution hasn’t been updated in over fifty years. I’d say it’s due for a change.

dragonflyteaparty, (edited )

How can you truly fight for the working class when you lived a life of extreme privilege?

That’s ridiculous. Can someone not fight for LGBTQ rights of they aren’t part of the community? For POC rights if they aren’t POC? For women’s rights if they aren’t a woman?

dragonflyteaparty,

That’s basically exactly what I learned. The civil war was all about states rights, but they refused to say what those rights were. They also “taught” that after the civil rights movement, everything was perfect and there was no racism anymore.

dragonflyteaparty,

They are absolutely being banned. Universal bans and not allowing things to be published or sold at all is not the sole definition of banning things. That’s not the only way to define banning. It can be small, local, regional, or unilateral. There are many different places or ways a ban can take effect. The books are being banned from schools and libraries in some cases.

If I ban something from my house, it’s still a ban. If it’s banned from the neighborhood, that’s a ban. If it’s banned from only my kid’s school, that’s a ban.

I don’t get why some people think a national ban against the publish and sale of books is the only definition of a ban.

dragonflyteaparty,

Well, then why are they taking out the context of Rosa Parks sitting on the bus? Isn’t that still American history? Some people feel the need to classify Black history because history concerning black people is white washed and ignored.

Your comment comes off like someone saying “all lives matter”.

dragonflyteaparty,

Since when does ban have a strict definition to mean not allowing the publish and/or sale of books nationwide? If I ban something from my house, am I required to use a different word?

dragonflyteaparty,

So about abortion being a states rights matter? That was just a joke, huh?

dragonflyteaparty,

What they said actually had meaningful nuance. We should be more careful when it comes to potential murder.

dragonflyteaparty,

Are all group homes equally stringent? I’m not trying to be mean here, but to be honest, this guy being free freaks me out.

dragonflyteaparty,

Source that research isn’t funded publicly?

dragonflyteaparty,

Its easy for a woman to get laid if she chooses to. She can go on any dating app, like bunch of dudes and an average girl could easily have a different guy every night.

That’s ridiculous nonsense. It’s completely untrue. The face that you think any average woman can have sex with any man she meets every single night of the week just shows how shallow you think people really are. No, any average woman can have sex with any man she meets every single night of the week. This is just “women have it easy and have their pick of any man ever”.

But even if you ignore that, what guarantee do those women have of being safe? What’s their guarantee of not being choked their first time with someone new? That’s a real, common thing happening with people these days, all the way down to the teen years. My sister has had this happen to her multiple times and there are countless accounts online to the point there are articles and studies written about the subject. What’s their guarantee of even an orgasm (given the actual, proven orgasm gap) or even getting raped if they say no?

Sure, you could say any average woman could have sex. And she’d be risking her safety and potentially life for the high possibility of bad sex. But sure, go on about how easy it is for women to get laid.

dragonflyteaparty,

How in the world is safety irrelevant? Or are you just assuming that men will readily jump an average looking woman who wants sex because he’s just that shallow? It seems to me you’re speaking very poorly of men while trying to paint women as “having it easy”. Somehow, I don’t think sex that threatens my life is “easy” and I don’t think of that threat at irrelevant.

dragonflyteaparty,

Except there’s a lot less alcohol and drugs. Probably about the same amount of nudity, though. 😂
