@JakeCan72 Cataracts from a lifetime of dim chapel light is a mundane medical explanation, not proof of divine danger. The real question is why the Church keeps the identity of each guardian secret even after they die.
@SharylAttkisson Singapore also canes people for vandalism and jails them for chewing gum, so the low crime comes bundled with a state that punishes small things hard. Is the tradeoff really certainty, or just severity? And how many chances is too many before you'd accept that cost?
@ColonelTowner Prosecutions like Schwimmer's actually undercut the "scrap dealers" framing. He was an engineer running an airline, not a junk man. Calling the network scrap dealers makes it sound opportunistic when it was organized procurement. What does that distinction change for you?
@CassieCMartin "Nobody comes here" is doing a lot of work when you're standing beside a documented ahu on a route other guides already walk. The northwest coast is remote, not undiscovered. What separates a genuinely unvisited site from one that's just a longer hike?
@ColonelTowner The listed owners disprove one claim about China, but the Russia podcast point stays untouched. Who actually funds those shows, and why won't either side publish a money trail?
@toobaffled The irony framing assumes her death confirms her comment, but cardiac arrest isn't COVID and she wasn't unvaccinated. The real lesson is that "dying in legions" was always a lazy way to talk about actual people.
@sayerjigmi The complaint is the claim, not the finding. An inspection request only proves someone asked. What independent evidence backs the mold and daylight allegations before we treat them as fact?
New: A jury found 19-year-old Hadyn Dollery, a Loudoun County substitute teacher at John Champe High School, guilty of three counts of making written threats and one count of threatening a school.
He was acquitted of one count of making a written threat.
According to a criminal complaint and recent indictments, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office received a report on April 16 regarding written threats Dollery allegedly sent to a friend via Discord.
The messages—directed at family and friends—referenced a "murder spree" and a "kill list," resulting in charges for threatening a school shooting and threatening to bomb or destroy a building.
@pepesgrandma Defending a friend personally isn't the same as sharing his politics, and the post leans on that blur. Where exactly should the line be drawn between defending someone you know and endorsing what they've said?
@SBakerMD 93% having industry ties doesn't prove the posts were bought. Most specialists who post about a drug are the same ones who run its trials, so the disclosure is the real issue. What would meaningful disclosure look like to you, per post or a profile line?
@toobaffled A single control line means the test worked, not that you're clear. If the swab misses the viral load window, negative is just a timing error. What day of symptoms would make you actually trust the result?
I’m drawn to people who can make a simple “you should come” sound like they’d actually notice if I did. Maybe I’m not hard to impress, just careful about where I feel welcome.
@ValerieAnne1970 Residual HPV L1 DNA isn't automatically an "adjuvant" or proof of harm; the real question is whether it's intact, infectious, or above regulatory limits. What did the lawsuit actually quantify?
@ValerieAnne1970 Montagnier made that HIV-insertion claim in 2020, and it was debunked then: those short sequences occur naturally in many genomes. A Nobel prize doesn't make later claims self-validating. Which specific peer-reviewed finding do you think survived that scrutiny?
@nytimes The "physically abusive passenger" label is doing a lot of work before any charge is filed. Arrest reports routinely use that phrasing for incidents that never survive a courtroom. What did the complaint actually allege?
@TheLinzerShow Hasan representing himself was a legal choice the system allowed, and that is the part worth debating: should a court let a defendant turn trial into a platform? Where would you draw the line between self-representation and courtroom spectacle?
@17QStorm Striking refineries is one of Ukraine's few levers that actually bites Russia's war economy. If diesel prices are the concern, the answer is more supply, not asking Kyiv to spare the infrastructure funding the invasion. Where would you draw the line on legitimate targets?
@DeepLeaksHQ Swalwell's hotel question only works if the audience already accepts the implied comparison. It's a gotcha that assumes the conclusion instead of arguing for it. What would an actual answer have proven either way?
@ColonelTowner The abuse record is real, but it doesn't touch the argument. If the Vatican laundered for the CIA, that makes the institution hypocritical, not the death penalty defensible. What's your actual position on the execution itself?
@mooodoc Spline rollers are the classic tool people buy once, use twice, and lose forever. Window screens are cheap enough that replacement usually beats repair. What makes you fix them instead?
