Wasting time asking dangerous clarifying questions like that is what gets you shot.

Michael Cassidy, a former congressional and legislative candidate from Mississippi, was charged the next day with fourth-degree criminal mischief, a misdemeanor. He told the conservative website The Sentinel that “my conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted.”

I feel like admitting your behavior is based entirely on your religion not written law should disqualify one from public positions where creating and following so-called “bureaucratic decrees” is kinda the whole point.

Citing an example of McMahon’s “extreme depravity,” on May 9, 2020, “he defecated on Ms. Grant during a threesome, and then commanded her to continue pleasuring his ‘friend’ — with feces in her hair and running down her back — while McMahon went to the bathroom to shower off,” the lawsuit says.

Not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that.

ETA: Link to the complaint itself, which includes more details and screenshots of texts. It doesn’t reflect especially well on him: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ctd.157647/gov.uscourts.ctd.157647.1.0.pdf

If it isn’t safe as food, then I don’t think it should be considered safe to go into your mouth.

Not sure this holds up. Most people use plastic toothbrushes and nylon floss, but wouldn’t consider either of them especially safe as food.

Plex does well at this too anymore. You can go to Plex.tv and search for shows/movies without an account and see the options.

It’s obviously an estimate, but “no sign” seems a little bit of an undersell.

Because to our knowledge no recent reliable state-level data on completed vaginal rapes (forced and/or drug/alcohol–facilitated vaginal penetration) are available, we analyzed multiple data sources to estimate reported and unreported rapes in states with total abortion bans (Table 15). We also estimated the number of resulting pregnancies based on findings from prior research on rape-related pregnancy rates (eMethods in Supplement 1). This study followed the relevant sections of the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) reporting guideline. The institutional review boards of our institutions did not consider analyses of publicly available data human participants research.

To estimate the contemporary incidence of vaginal rape nationally, we analyzed the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) 2016 to 2017 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence survey (which used special methods to accurately ascertain reported and unreported rapes). We adjusted for the fraction of survivors who were female individuals aged 15 to 45 years using data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ (BJS) annual survey on criminal victimization (which is known to underestimate rapes5)3 and further adjusted for the percentage of rapes that are vaginal.1 We calculated 95% CIs using measures of uncertainty from the CDC survey. The CDC and BJS surveys do not include state-level data; thus, we apportioned the 2022 nationwide rape estimate among states based on the US Federal Bureau of Investigation’s most recent Uniform Crime Reports, which include rapes reported to law enforcement in 2019.

To estimate rape-related pregnancies, we multiplied the state-level estimate of vaginal rapes by the fraction likely to result in pregnancy (eMethods in Supplement 1)6 and then adjusted for the number of months between July 1, 2022, and January 1, 2024, that a total abortion ban was in effect. We used Stata, version 16.1 (StataCorp), to analyze the BJS survey data and Microsoft Excel for other calculations.

Not being pregnant isn’t a crime, so not seeing a case for probably cause. Especially not sufficient enough to pull any useful phone records, which is getting less and less possible anyway as more people move toward encrypted chats.

I suppose if the tip is specific enough to include details on the transporter, it could happen. Seems incredibly unlikely though.

Feel free to ping me and point out I’m wrong if it ever happens. Until then, still seems like nothing but political hot air to me.

It can’t, reasonably. The “for the purpose of” wording makes it easy enough to introduce reasonable doubt so long as you hit a tourist trap while you’re there and claim that as the purpose of the trip. Then the abortion was just another legal side activity you happened to partake in once you were there, like pumping gas or hitting a McDrivethru.

This is ultimately pointless pandering.

Avoid having to answer? Are you proposing that “Do you think kids should be subjected to people shooting up drugs when playing outside or when going to school?” was a sincere question?

And even when it’s allowed in, it doesn’t mean allowing people to just do whatever. There’s plenty of places around the world where you can have a drink outdoors, but there’s still laws against loitering, being a nuisance, picking fights, etc.

There’s a whole wide world between “nobody can do drugs ever” and “we must tolerate fucked up people fucking up everything everywhere.”

Those poor, lonely Alaskans.

This one seemed more Owen Hart

Once this law passes, I think you’re in the clear as long as you get the abortion on your own property and claim self defense.

I’d be content extending that to include all social media “influencers,” not that anybody cares what I think.

Yeah, I’ve got a bunch of the annoyances filters active and don’t know if I could browse most websites without them at this point.

Is the last one still useful if you enable the cookies filter under annoyances in uBlock?

Still okay to fuck it though, right?

Anyone whose purchased Russian oil in the past couple decades?

At least we could all collectively stop worrying about the climate stuff, right?
