No because the neural systems for those defenses are still too immature. The have a startle reflex called the Moro reflex but it isn’t quite the same thing.

Gravity therapy is also effective

This fucker is so removed from reality he has no clue what’s expensive and what isn’t. I’d wager he’s never operated a gas pump in his life.

You could give him a $200k salary, a home in some little town, and a car that was all paid for, and he’d starve to death in a year. He is beyond clueless as to what people have to do on a daily basis.

Is this Destination Fucked?

Suspended with pay is called a fucking vacation.

The bankruptcy thing in the LEO world has to do with getting into situations where they could easily be compromised, not punishing them for bad financial decisions. The idea being it’s easier to bribe and control you. I’m not arguing for or against just that’s the reasoning.

Not that it matters. Notice ICE isn’t deporting wealthy immigrants just the poors. Same way with regular cops. I live where people often have $100k cars and you never see one of them pulled over. I’ve been cut off by more than one Beamer driving recklessly on the way into work and it’s never them.

You are 100% right. They will pass all of this and it will suck for a large majority of us. I’m not suggesting it will all be unenforceable (although a large part might be). I’m venting that these people in charge are seeing an opportunity to control and limit much of what has gotten away from being easily surveilled in the first place.

This is no different than the half a dozen various legislative “solutions” to keeping children online safe.

• CDA (1996)
• COPA (1998)
• DOPA (2006)
• COPPA 2.0 (2022)
• KOSA (2022-24)

The common thread is it’s never really about children or keeping anyone “safe”. It’s about controlling people and information. Previously there were lots opposition from various tech industries and infighting but this seems to be gaining traction which scares the crap out of me. The obvious technical limitations, first amendment violations, and giant loopholes from the internet being a global thing are still there but it doesn’t seem to matter.

There is so much shit they haven’t thought of trying to ram this through it isn’t funny. Not a one of these dumb motherfuckers has any clue how tech works or what kind of headaches this is going to bring to the tech industry. It’s all feel good politics meant to look good but not actually do any good whatsoever, so theater like most of it already (see TSA). There will be so many loopholes in ways to get around it, it will be less than useless.

Was he? Or did brain damage turn him republican? Because it seems like there is something mentally wrong with most republicans.

Which seems totally congruent with a lot of religious people since they like being marketed and lied to.

I was totally thinking Vance had raped the Pope from the title… and then had to check for an onion.

I don’t keep up with him much but it’s not surprising. He looks like he isn’t told no very often and likely doesn’t handle it well when he is.

Define “mean to her staff”. I’m not being cantankerous, I just haven’t kept up with her much. I remember thinking she was up and coming a while back.

I don’t need more proof.

What kinda Jeffrey Dahmer bullshit is this?

Serious question: how can anything step related be incest? I thought an incestuous relationship required blood relation.

I wish I could upvote this 100 times because you hit the nail on the head.

Damn I wish we could get the prompt he used to generate this. Doctor my ass…

So here’s the thing, if he thought this was a doctor, the Christian’s should be just as upset for being so clueless as to what this was supposed to represent. I’m an atheist and an even tell who this is supposed to be.

My last 20 photos: Screws I needed from Lowe’s, picture of a wood project I’m working on, the wiring for my kids guitar (wanted the pickups replaced), some AI rendering of me in a suit, several memes, and some cool plants from a nursery down the road.

Very incriminating stuff.

How about feckless and chaotic.
