I’ve got such a crush on Brian blessed.

I started saying dawg ironically…

That depends. She’s a trained obstetrician, she probably knows when moving the patient is better than not (and yes, anyone can sue you for $10k for helping someone over state lines for the purpose of getting an abortion). There’s also the possibility that it’s a ten or more hour drive to the nearest clinic, which comes with a significant time and gas money commitment that some people would find it difficult to impossible to make. I agree that performing medicine is not the most effective protest, but it’s totally the most effective way of making sure that your vulnerable patients get medical care.

Campaigning against abortion bans is great, but how many women will die before the next election? I don’t think I’d be willing to comply with the law and watch them as a doctor, and I hope most doctors would agree, because I’d personally far prefer to get treatment than follow the laws in an emergency.

The procedure is banned, nobody’s licensed to do it anymore. If you’ve trained as an obstetrician and midwife and can do a lifesaving procedure which has now been banned because politicians got worried that not enough people show up to church, I think it’s absolutely your right to get upset for being arrested for it. The other option is for someone who took the Hippocratic oath to sit and watch people needlessly die for politics.

I don’t think she’s surprised, because it’s not surprising, but it’s sure as hell upsetting.

God, can you imagine killing JFK by accident and having to sit on that secret forever because the FBI doesn’t want to get a bad reputation?

Equipping cops with cameras gets cops in prison, not the people cops are terrorizing, that’s the difference.

Do we have a community for pictures where people look 14 or 40? This is peak child face and middle aged body language

I introduced my Croatian friend to my Serbian roommate about a week into arriving in Germany, thinking they’d hit it off and be excited for a common language.

They were both kind and very firm about how differently the interaction might have gone if they were slightly different people.

They did eventually become friends, but I also eventually met my roommate’s parents and got a better understanding of the older generation.

Normally I’d agree

Rojas, known as “Dr. Maria,” is a nurse practitioner who has been a licensed midwife in the US since 2018; she previously worked as an obstetrician in Peru. She owns and, before her arrest, operated four health care clinics in the Houston area called Clínicas Latinoamericanas, which predominantly serve low-income Spanish-speaking patients.

Given that in other states, nps are qualified to provide abortions (and they can apparently own medical clinics in this one), this seems more like an issue caused by the laws in Texas than helped by them.

The first book is debatable in discworld. Not its quality, but whether it’s first or not. That seems fitting for it.

I’ll admit that I’m not the most patriotic American (I’m an emigrant, for one), and I’m not from a deep trump area, but I don’t know a single American, except for maybe my fox news addled dad, who doesn’t think Canada’s completely in the right. Even Vermonters who worry about heating their homes want trump to stop, not Canada.

Lead paint is not going to enter my body, but that’s because I very rarely put unknown things in my mouth. Toddlers operate differently

You’ve just invented sexbots for mice.

Congratulations, you’re about to be targeted for a smear campaign about useless research studies.

Omg, you could totally put an rc set of wheels in the gap where a roller ball would go on an old mouse and make this.

I don’t know how many visitors you’d need to have to actually get use out of that much work for a physical gag like that, but it could be cute at a computer repair shop or something like that.

My mom once pulled an 18”/45cm hair out of her eye. She didn’t realize what was in her eye until she started pulling. Luckily, it wasn’t wrapped around anything important, but it scared the shit out of her.

It’s a partner exercise

It can, but I’d still rather criminals walk free than people who didn’t do anything wrong be punished.

I guess it comes down to this: I think twelve randos are less likely to be racist than our legal system.

I mean more people generally walk away. When designing a legal system, you have to decide whether it’s better that guilty people go free or that innocent people are punished. I’m fully on the side of the former, and jury nullification is basically an extra release valve.

Luigi’s obviously a sensation right now, but jn is imo even better for situations like those sisters who lit their father on fire after he raped them for years (I don’t want to dig too deep because it’s depressing, so I don’t have a source, but this could just as easily be hypothetical). The legal system is not going to codify how much the victim must abuse you before your snapping is justified, because that’s impossible. The jury gets to decide on a case by case basis, whether the immolation was a crime or not.

In a perfect legal system, we might not need it, but not only is that impossible, the US has in some respects the farthest from a perfect system currently in place.

I just blocked ani.social

That won’t work if you do want some anime content, but I don’t get any moe communities anymore

That square is my bed and my therapist was concerned when I said I didn’t leave it.
