  1. My husband has a physical disability he was born with, missing an arm. He competed once in the “special” category at a karate tournament and felt so bad after his first fight he forfeited. It had gotten the 1st place in the normal division so it didn’t seem fair.

  2. We had two kids kicked out of high school in 2007 for doing FAR less. One kid was making a video game (commissioned by other kids in school) and the other kid was the main character of the game (they didn’t know each other and the bully had no idea about the game). Both were kicked out of class the moment it was discovered, both were suspended and ordered to go to counseling that day (which really confused the kid who didn’t know what was going on). The kids responsible for commissioning the game came forward immediately and fessed up but they had no punishment. That was 2007 and neither of those kids had access to weapons but those who commissioned the game did. Most schools would have acted far faster and far harsher if they believed it was a threat. My guess is the school has seen worse.

  3. Both my kids I had through IVF and I cannot describe how terrifying it is not knowing 100% if the baby is yours.

  4. It’s interesting that the case that brought this to light had other issues involved (jury misconduct).

  5. Many of the locals were not condemning the sheriff. I think that’s kinda telling.

  6. Notice that none of the Rittenhouse jurors came out even two years later?

  7. A bottle of water could get elected in New York if it had a D behind its name, or get indicted if it was an R

  8. My issue is what that means. I’ve heard this in other cases where it shows proof of premeditation, but it could also just mean that she drives down that road regularly.

  9. As someone with panic attacks brought on by masks (panic disorder diagnosed 10+ years ago so nothing new with covid), I'm glad someone finally got a mask exemption for panic attacks. All of my requests (even to the doc who diagnosed me) went unrecognized as an actual disorder.

  10. One could argue that it’s the ultimate “selection” for top athletes. Phelps for instance would have an “unfair advantage” because his arms are longer, others have genetic advantages that have brought them into being in the top .1% of their sport that no amount of training could compensate for. Some are children of previous Olympic athletes and you could argue have been genetically bred to be better than the competition. As with every other aspect of life not everyone is created equal, you can do your best to give them a level playing field but some are smarter, faster, richer, etc and will always excel. In decades past they probably would have allowed them to compete and not understand why they were so strong, now we know and maybe should correct for it.

  11. Same with Rubin.

  12. Did you get sad when there was a death in the family or you got scared when you were left home alone and thought your house was haunted because that was the evidence used as proof of her knowing Ethan had mental illness.

  13. I can't define cis and trans, I'm not an organic chemist.

  14. Most clinics have 2-3 checks in place. Wondering if it was at the freezing stage or the transfer stage that it got mixed up

  15. The seal is meant solely for presidential actions. He’s acting as a candidate. If he said the same with the official seal it would imply a lot more about his intention.

  16. Didn’t they already try to recall him?

  17. I believe Portland and Seattle had something similar until 2020.

  18. I have a couple friends missing limbs. They hate it.

  19. They have yet to determine a higher rate of transmission of COVID on a plane than in any other public place (such as a store or work place). In fact they've done tests (pre2020) on disease transmission on planes and found in most cases it's significantly lower than it would be in the "wild".
    5
  20. You're assuming they did. It's just as likely the post master is now lying knowing the fall out.
    5
  21. This isn’t necessarily true. It depends on how it was manipulated. Was it statistically invalid standards, was it lack of peer review - it can be caused by a lot of things and they really were vague on how it was manipulated.
    5
  22. Doesn't the believability of the confidential informant really depend on where the warrant was being issued? If it was in the heart of Florida I'd imagine it's have to be dead to rights Trump's BFF who had a copy of the docs at hand, while in DC the janitor of Mar a Lago who got fired because he never showed up to work there would likely be enough.

  23. She may legitimately not know that it was intentional. A concussion would mean to her she has no memory of a fight, intentionality, etc. I’m skeptical of what the “practice run” means because in other cases it has been used to mean a street they drove down the day before (and the day before that, and before that, etc, or a street they had a distant friend on and were there 5 years ago).

  24. “What did they have to pay Biden as a retirement package?” His first wife’s diary.

  25. If it’s the other way around the persons being defamed must prove a negative which is impossible.

  26. That was a slick ad read my man.

  27. They did the same thing when Hillary became the candidate via super delegates. Same when republicans put in Mitt when Ron Paul had been the choice.

  28. The race is just the indicator. Who knows how many kids out there are in the same position.
    4
  29. I wish Rand Paul was on the committee, would have been so nice to be like "Well good thing we have a doctor, Senator Paul what is a woman" "adult human female" "Judge Jackson how does that sound to you? Do you trust the doctors explanation?"

  30. Yes. They said Bre had his money.

  31. They entered a lot of things that the parents didn’t have access to (text to friends, journals etc). It blurs the lines between what the parents knew and didn’t know. The main thing the parents knew was he reported seeing ghosts and sent them obviously fake ghost videos he made as proof. This is stuff basically any teen would do. It lasted for 2-3 months and ended 6+ months before the crime. She knew he was depressed (again in April) due to a death in the family, loss of a dog and loss of a friend, which seems pretty ordinary.

  32. Women can beat men, this is something that people overlook in these competitions and allow for the “but see she lost to another woman” argument to flourish. Women can beat men, when I tested for my black belt I was up against another blackbelt just as qualified as I was but better known as a “fighter” who was a guy. He didn’t land a hit on me because I got the first hit in and he lost his confidence. Something like that could have happened here.

  33. The child was charged as an adult though. So either he was mis charged and the parent is responsible or vice versa

  34. There were a handful of Ethiopian restaurants in Minneapolis when I was growing up (probably for the Somalian community) and it was SOOOOO good. I still remember the wonderful food. Also when I was sick once a coworker from Nigeria brought me homemade Nigerian food and that was also amazing.
    3
  35. I guess it was in his journal that wasn’t admitted but he said he had to break the lock and find the gun. The parents did apparently have it hidden and locked.
    3
  36. They both admitted that they had late night talks/visits but both were also very clear he had never been to her home.
    3
  37. Have you seen her speak?
    3
  38. Mother in laws have killed for less. I remember one who actually pulled the trigger because she wanted her son to have custody beyond the weekends. That one was smart enough not to involve her kid though so the son retained custody.
    3
  39. 99% of the population thinks her being bald is a fashion statement. idk how many other people were like "Wtf there was a GI Jane movie?"

  40. His “screaming for help” was sent in a text message to a friend months before, no evidence to show he ever told his parents. They saw he was depressed because of a death of a dog and a grandparent which is pretty obvious and something everyone goes through. Him “seeing things” was him saying their house was haunted again months before. Parents didn’t have access to his journals or texts that were presented as evidence of him “screaming out for help”.

  41. A lot of sports do test testosterone. However it fluctuates in women throughout their cycle and some women (like 5%) have testosterone levels outside the “norm” because of conditions like PCOS. It doesn’t give them an advantage just makes them less fertile. The highest range for women with PCOS though is still less than half of a guy with low testosterone. Theoretically (it probably is being done but we can’t talk about it), testosterone shots could be given to male athletes to give them a bigger advantage.
    3
  42. It's a business. Even trump would probably say they should do something different - even if it isn't going more conservative (the CNN brand is toxic if they tried to be).
    2
  43. He’ll be found guilty, it’s a forgone conclusion at this point because it was “his” gun.
    2
  44. Or that the woman knew things about Till that she would have only known if something more serious like she accused him of actually happened. For instance that till only dated white women (as he apparently told her) and she did have bruises where he grabbed her.
    2
  45. It happens a lot from both genders, it’s just more salacious when it’s a woman
    2
  46. Jada rocks that look and has seemed to be very strong with regards to her condition (didn't even know it was a thing until today - just thought it was a fashion statement). Had she (or will) gone along with it, likely it would have been seen by everyone else as a compliment. It wasn't making fun of her having cancer, it was another condition she is very public about. Doesn't seem off limits.
    2
  47. I mean the case was broadcast, so we know what evidence was shown to the jury.
    2
  48. Yes
    2
  49. Nate’s a former prosecutor.
    2
  50. Exactly. This should have been a very easy pick up for the democrats. They lost a seat - barely, because they couldn't bother spending 5 minutes looking into the opponent. I'm assuming they were just not concerned about losing so they didn't care. On the other hand, who knows what the other guy had on his resume that isn't true, so maybe they didn't want to raise the issue.

  51. Technically it was her rental car.

  52. Americas been through much worse than this. This is just it acting silly.

  53.  @rickrozen2341  but that's a lot of actual work and very boring most of the time.

  54. The reason attorneys have them is to help arrange witnesses (see who’s available to call, who is running late etc)

  55. Biden may try. If he doesn't, or God forbid praises musk buying twitter, I'd stay away.
    2
  56. He’s pointing out that it seems odd that Brag said he would indict, didn’t indict because they couldn’t find evidence, then when it became more politically charged (when trump announced he was running) that then he found enough evidence despite trying several times before to find the exact same evidence. Either laws are being misinterpreted to allow for what the actual evidence says or there is new evidence that no one else has. Neither of which seem likely. The only other option is that it is politically motivated. So he’s just saying that out of the three likely outcomes only two are based in law and don’t seem to be correct.
    2
  57. “Do you know if this was DNA or rust?” “It’s a rich source of DNA” “But all the other spots were rust” “Well…yeah” “Do you know who’s DNA” “Definitely a males DNA” “Was it the victim?” “We don’t have his DNA, so I assume so” “Why don’t you have his DNA” “Because there was other male DNA present in his apartment, and we can’t even say the blood from his apparent murder was his” I wish I was kidding about how bad that evidence was.
    2
  58. I always thought it was done on accident. Grabbed the wrong bag etc. maybe I’m to nice lol
    2
  59. Is this because they cannot ovulate or because they do not have eggs to begin with? Women are born with all their egg reserves that are slowly depleted throughout their lives. There are conditions like pcos that typically lead to higher levels of testosterone that cause women not to be able to ovulate and produce eggs despite being XX and having (typically very high numbers) eggs.
    2
  60. We didn't tell anyone we were trying for a baby for 4 years. We went though years of treatments but found it weird to talk about it to anyone. So when we finally got pregnant through IVF we told everyone it was IVF...because otherwise it felt weird that we were talking about 4 years of our sex life.
    2
  61. It’s still not clear if that’s what they have either. Their testicles may not have descended at birth but did later. That’s far more common and in a country not known for their medical prowess it may have been incorrectly assigned.
    2
  62. You think Elon gets this? He's one click away from losing his fortune and has been his entire life. He isn't making great business decisions he just as a cult of personality propping him up. Tesla's the only company that for not making a profit for years and turning out shitty products could still presell cars that wouldn't get delivered for years, that had roofs that would fly off when you drove them and somehow was still trading at over 100/share. No other company could not sell a product/sell a clearly inferior product and still have their stock price be high.
    2
  63. And FBI and Secret Service.
    2
  64. 10mil is a lot of pain and suffering. I’ve been through IVF and this is everyone’s biggest fear but maybe a little high considering people’s still born baby’s being thrown in the trash in front of them isn’t worth that. Fertility clinics are typically heavily regulated. Ours had several checks along the way but the most terrifying moment is what the baby looks like when it’s born because it is a non-zero chance it isn’t yours. The inbreeding thing is fairly well controlled, often sperm donors or egg donors are limited in an area for how many can be used and they’re also spaced out so you won’t have 3 babies born in the same 5 year period or so.

  65. It is amazing how many people don't seem to hear "this is the police" when they're pounding at your door. I had it happen to me twice (cops came for a welfare check for my neighbor, the other there was a shooting in my building and we didn't hear it) both times we heard very clearly "this is the police" and them banging on the door. Both were late at night, one was when my boyfriend and i were asleep in bed (as was my roommate who also heard it from the other side of the apartment) we heard it loud and clear. Every apartment is different but considering we didn't hear a shooting going on the floor above us but we heard the cop knocking on the door - I'm pretty sure they would have heard something.

  66. He's securing it with help from a bank (another share holder) so he won't fully own it himself. Obviously he doesn't actually have that much cash on hand.

  67. All children are unstable at some point and people who say they aren’t don’t realize what their kids are up to.
    2
  68. It’s all broadcast.

  69. If a parent brings a sex offender into their home (either relative, neighbor, significant other) can they be charged if their child is molested? Legitimate question because that seems more like neglect.

  70. Afghanistan still has my vote. But it's a close race.

  71. Doesn’t she also have allegations against her acting inappropriately in charging the YSL case? Like she was involved with the victim of the case?
    1
  72.  @ReturnOfHeresy  it’s when the grand jury says “there’s a greater than 50% chance something is there having no evidence to the contrary and only hearing the good stuff”. That’s why people get indicted for murder despite the fact they have air tight alibis. Occasionally they get convicted of those too because of unethical prosecutors (see Zach Anderson and Michael Keetley) for recent examples.
    1
  73.  @AngelinoShred this is very true. It’s one reason a lot of the trans issues are difficult to deal with, because they are accepted as fact as a pure medical condition rather than as a symptom of something else. For instance Anorexia is actually a form of OCD, it was first diagnosed as a symptom which is what led to more research being done. Because of that they’re able to treat it appropriately rather than saying “this is just what their bodies are”. Anorexia Nervosa is a separate condition but it is related to OCD and an obsession with food, it’s also related to people who are obsessed with fitness, health, food aversion etc. That may be the same thing with gender dysphoria but it is being accepted as a separate condition despite having all the ear marks of a social contagion obsession similar to anorexia.

  74. My best friend is Honduran. Speaks 0 Spanish and left there at 3 when she was adopted by a white mom. She only sounds black because her voice is super low. Otherwise she sounds whiter than me. I also dated a Korea/hispanic guy, he could not have passed even the first round of this lol.

  77. Fox also took down one of the GA senators for profiting off the COVID stocks, probably cost her the election.

  78. Within a week the board of disinformation will make sure that Hunter Bidens laptop is Russian disinformation.

  79. They’re very unclear what the mishandling was. It could be that she didn’t have a peer review audit and once that’s done it will clear the cases. DNA is rarely the only thing that gets someone convicted, does it happen, of course, but usually there is strong circumstantial evidence. We can’t say she actually was influential in any convictions unless it gets cleared up. That 7mil figure would be much higher if they suspected it would be 600+ retrials.

  80. As a woman who has sparred with guys (my school only had guys so it was difficult to find female opponents), they can win against them. It’s usually more a psychological win that does it though and a lot more contingent on getting the first hit. Especially good male fighters tend to get more upset if they don’t get the first hit/point. Not taking a tap, but it they get actually hit hard first they will often lose because they lose their confidence. I’m guessing their previous fights that they lost were something like this.

  85. Anas realization happened when she was attacked and reported it. People called her racist and hated her for it. She realized all the TYT fans assumed she had been attacked by black men and were incredibly racist compared to the right, who were just upset she got attacked at all. They were two white dudes high on drugs as she later reported. She couldn’t believe someone would automatically assume they were black.

  86. So did Kennedy oddly enough.

  87. Most politicians lie on their resume. Remember how Biden graduated first in his law school? We don't know if the voters voted on policy, resume (honestly i don't know anyone who checks their politicians resume when they go to vote), or the letter behind his name. Remember the trans woman satanist who won the republican sheriff position and everyone said it was because she had an R behind her name? Maybe it was because those things didn't matter to the voting base.

  88. Trump?

  89. Naw they've been working on this for a long while.

  91. I dislike RFK because his stance on childhood vaccines but the Democratic Party allowed Marianne Williams to run without interference because they knew she wasn’t a threat. I don’t think they want to admit how many old school Dems and hippies would side with RFK over Kamala/Biden.
    1
  92. I say let people pick representatives and the state Congress picks Senate. Makes the senators way more accountable to the state needs than just the individual needs of the highest population centers.

  93. Not a fan of Musk and don't trust him as far as I could throw him. I feel like this is just musk trying to make a deal to make some quick cash for a company that's floundering and nothing will change in the long run. Trump won't be back online, JD still won't be a blue check and the world will continue to ree

  94. It wasn't just the statement of USPS that she was involved though. When i first heard the story to me it sounded like he was running a package to USPS for her, not the other way around.

  95. This was literally an urban legend that was covered in the Jonathan Franks beyond belief show in the 2000s.

  99. Didn’t they have two trans women model for them during the fashion show this year?

  100. I think it’s been assumed that they presented as female just because of social norms in the culture but I’m not sure if this has been confirmed.

  101. I'm sure the debunking of the Russian collusion was also Russian disinformation that somehow made Muller a Russian asset.

  102. Kamala is walking sound bites that make 0 sense.
    1
  103. So what was the reason they falsified the warrant? They were trying to frame her? They had recordings saying she was holding his drug money, she had been involved with previous investigations in the past, so maybe they were trying to hedge their bets she'd turn on them? They also would have had to know the postmaster would back up their statements, and falsify database records (only to retract when it went south). It seems like a bit of a stretch (probably didn't need to arrest her to get her to turn on them). I'd like to hear the logic of why they think the cops specifically were targeting Taylor if it was just because. Even then, the cops who wrote the warrant didn't know that the cops executing the warrant would knock, they didn't know the new boyfriend would shoot at the cops injuring one of them, and didn't know that the cops would return fire and somehow only hit her.
    1
  104. Because two months before they knew that Breonna was going to be "asleep in her bed" when they came knocking (they didn't want to - even though they did anyways), then they knew her new boyfriend would shoot through the door and injure one of them so they'd be given justification to fire back and purposefully miss him and only hit her. All because the cops are racist. It was a long con.

  105. Damn. So just wrong place wrong time.

  106. I had a coworker than killed his girlfriend and himself completely out of the blue. Literally had never seen anything out of him that would suggest he had anger issues but she apparently had a restraining order against him and a few other girlfriends did as well. Another coworker seemed so nice, also had a history of restraining orders but we’d been told they were all made up and my boss believed it (I guess we all did). Then one day he cornered me for something I was allowed to do but he didn’t like (he’d hidden equipment away for his own use and we needed it). He shouted and screamed and berated me so bad I was left crying (he was a good foot and 50lbs on me, plus 8 years old compared to me a fresh out of college girl). Later once I composed myself I went to tell my supervisor where I was bluntly told to leave for having assaulted him - some how, for some reason.
    1
  107. To me it sounds like "Oh yeah I'll totally do it" sort of thing you say to someone you're trying to talk down from a ledge. The fact he was talking to Cheney (pretty sure might be wrong), leads me to believe he was just trying to avoid a fight with he by saying he was going to do that.

  108. This just in - DHS doesn't monitor American citizens, just ignore that Snowden stuff. Not to mention it basically admits it does nothing.

  110. She did identify other senators as "man" and "woman" but didn't seem to know why she could. SCOTUS needs to be able to explain their answers and she has not been able to.

  111. If they take it private as a pay to tweet sort of model (I'm sure it's been investigated in the past) the company will die. When half the users are bots no way will those free bot accounts begin paying. Not to mention all the causal users who wouldn't bother unless they're part of a mega corp or making money off advertising. It will become a circle jerk of advertisers.

  116. Definition for what is homophobia/transphobia and racism need to be clearly defined by this before it goes into effect.

  117. Except that's a model that won't work. I'm sure plenty of market studies have been done on it. How many people will pay $0.05 per tweet? Micro transactions work for video games but it's still a hard sell for the majority of the public. There is a reason text messages became unlimited for X price, but not enough people find Twitter useful enough to pay $10/month for it.

  119. That wasn’t presented in evidence. Idk if it’s true but not something the jury heard.

  120. Kind of true. Fox at least is usually very clear about their biases while CNN pretends they don't actually exist.

  121. I don't even think this was the stupidest question she got...and she still failed those. Forget what tillis asked but it was literally a give me like anti-corruption question and she still looked like a deer in the headlights. He had to explain it wasn't a gotcha it was almost a statement she just had to agree with and she still refused to answer (or didn't understand the question).

  122. Didn’t this happen like a year ago too? Where a judge was emailing their clerks with memes?

  123. Especially when that "disinformation" board apparently labeled it's ultimate leader as "disinformation" to the point of getting him blocked off all social media. Makes you wonder how much it was actually being run under the previous admin.

  132. Can we just agree the Olympics need tighter controls on their qualification standards. Maybe Algeria requires your biological sex to be on your passport, but many countries do not and all it takes is one poor unscrupulous country to allow it and the sport will be over thrown. Other events require testosterone level tests and doping tests (because they’ve had issues with that in the past), and their main reason for not allowing it is that it’s humiliating and invasive, but it can be done as a blood test.

  133. So they're blocking disinformation within their own organization because they're afraid of Russian spies in their midst or something? That's really not how it's being represented.

  136. They don’t specify what the anomalies are. This could be anything from a balance not being within its calibration period (they need to be recalibrated once a year or they could be off by 1/10000 of a gram), or someone didn’t sign off on her lab book within a week which was department policy, it took them 10 days. Or one of the reagents was past its retest date and she didn’t obtain the new certificate or analysis before trial that the reagent was still within specification (even though it was). Analytical labs have very strict guidelines that have to be upheld but honestly don’t make a significant difference. That’s a far cry from someone sneaking evidence out of a lab or switching labels maliciously. I know you can think all those things makes a big difference but having audited analytical labs in the past, they really don’t except for how you can get fined. For instance all speed radar guns need to be calibrated quite often and if they’re over due by a day you can potentially get out of a speeding ticket, but that’s only because in that case there is only one piece of evidence against you (and it probably won’t work if it says you were going 100 in a 30).

  138. That’s really not the case. Many times DNA evidence isn’t the only evidence that’s presented. What about a case where a guy confesses, is caught on video committing the crime and the only reason his case is tossed is because she only had 1 person peer review her DNA evidence while the common practice was 2 (not that it was department procedure, just the common practice). Or one of the scales in their lab was out of audit date by a couple days (this happens a lot). You don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. If the misconduct was that bad that they were looking at 700+ trials there’s a good chance it would be more than 7mil they are looking at for the error.

  139. There have been biological women who have been prevented from participating due to higher testosterone levels due to conditions like PCOS. It’s not high enough to cause an advantage, but high enough for it to trigger a flag.

  140. Obviously disinformation.

  141. Then it's no different than what the Biden admin has been openly admitting to doing for the past year. "working closely with social networks to prevent disinformation" is one of the first steps to fascism. Saying they "don't have power" to control what the private company does is also disingenuous. The government has massive control over what is done by private industry from a tax, regulatory, legal etc point of view and can easily target an industry which does not comply with their wishes.

  145. When you don’t have access to the actual information regarding that criminal activity you are assuming that they are a criminal and trying to find evidence to fit a crime. That is not how it is supposed to work in America. Trump university is hardly what is going on here, and everything Brag knew at the time of the interview was everyone who had access to the evidence declined to prosecute because there was no evidence to. Brag was asserting without knowing what evidence existed that there had been a crime that was committed and he would prosecute.

  148. I went through IVF for our kids and this was my worst nightmare. I legitimately had this question throughout my pregnancy so I imagine others do as well. I came to terms with turning the child over (that’s what I would have wanted done had someone else given birth to mine), suing the clinic because they shouldn’t be in operation if that happened, and once able to, going through the whole procedure again (at the clinics expense including surrogacy if that is what is needed). With IVF that is always a tiny question in the back of your mind if your child is yours. We went through IUI and it was the same question the as well (if the sperm was my husbands - but none of those treatments worked). Having paternity/maternity tests done as part of all IVF births probably should be a standard, but instead have to be paid out of pocket. Some couples don’t want to know - and I can’t blame them, we had 4 years struggling but many have more and sometimes it’s better to have a baby in your arms than anything else. 10m sounds about right, but honestly I’d go for 2mil if medical expenses were paid and the clinic safeguards (and those of all GA IVF clinics) were put in place for this to not happen again.
