Nah, the "because you're lazy/stupid" thing is what makes it reckless endangerment, rather than attempted murder. Murder requires intent to cause harm, not just apathy or incompetence (outside of extremely egregious cases, and Covid isn't deadly enough to qualify for that).

So slavery?

"Murder" isn't really justifiable, but you could certainly call it reckless endangerment.

Letting the law do all the thinking for you is really terribly lazy.

The fuck is this shit. Not getting a vaccine isn't attempted murder otherwise it would be illegal. You wanting to lock someones in their home though is disturbing. I believe you actually need to be locked up before you do harm to others or even yourself with that mindset.

First two sentences of TC's article.

If we have people that wont even get vaccinated?

No. We do not need a real 1984.

Apparently the people who thought of something but never did it were actually at the place they were never at.

It was recommended by her doctors that she avoid all vaccines in the future. So yea, there are justified grounds for her exemption.

Well, that sucks.

BYU has a *Hawaii* branch? wtf? >_<

Is it even legal for them to refuse her?

idk, I hope they'll at least honor it next year or the year after when COVID fears have somewhat subsided... although, honestly, I think we're in for 5+ years of COVID-related nonsense.

What makes you think he's a D?

I don't need it, the virus won't harm me even if I do get it. I'm young enough and healthy enough, and my immune system is strong.

if I was going to visit my sister and her two kids I would get the shot, but I live alone so there is no reason for me to.

Thought crimes are the best law the United States Federal Government has ever created. Oh wait.

I'm not pro anyone but trump was better and if you cant tell just by going to the grocery store and the gas station you have a problem. That stupid 300 I get a month for having a kid literally all goes to inflation. My house i bought 4.5 years ago for 129K is now worth 221K. Something is not right about that. Democrats preach the rich are too rich but why in the hell would a rich person just accept higher taxes? They just raise the prices of their services and goods. Gas is WAY more than it was even before COVID so that is partially why ground beef is $6 a pound and eggs are $3 instead of .59.

USA politics are insane at the moment and it is really hard to watch people fight over it when honestly both sides are stupid.

This segment is hilarious(ly sad).

Even if you're correct that it was a bad idea, so what? Since when do humans need to act optimally like machines at all times instead of doing what they want to do? Smoking, drinking, overeating, promiscuity, etc. are all "bad ideas" but we don't try to force people not to do them as long as they're adults.

How on earth can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you throw out insane ideas like this so detached from reality that a child would laugh at them?

That is a fix, the same as curbing other criminal conduct.

Why should it be any different than the rest of the criminal justice system? >_>

...the site is literally owned by a far-leftist who has donated large sums to the DNC and Democratic candidates.

You know what? Fuck it, you just made the ignore list. I'm sick of these weird alts people are bringing back to troll.

What ever happened to "my body, my choice"? I guess personal autonomy isn't a value after all.

Literally not even how it works btw. I guess spreading misinformation is fine too depending on what side you're on.

so they dont spread it to vulnerable people who dont have the option of getting the vaccine and it doesnt have the opportunity to easily propagate and mutate into more dangerous variants

They strapped people down and injected them.

it's quite literally racism, yes. but I guess that proves not all racism is necessarily bad.

If that's the only reason, yes

Yes, obviously

Kinda but if you arent attracted to some ethnicities then that is just how you are I guess and you dont have to be in a relationship with anyone that you dont want to

Neither option is correct. You have poorly assessed the situation. Its a two-fold issue.

2) There was an assumption that the risk of the virus had waned. But due to the emergence of more contagious strain, there has been a worldwide resurgence. So now, most of the deaths and hospitalizations are from those who are unvaccinated, which is mostly Republican led states. Heavy death tolls and high hospitalizations do not bode well for vulnerable Representatives and could be used nationally as well.

If you actually read my post you'll notice the first line is "According to the people peddling the vaccines". Your passive aggressive little jab doesn't really work either way though since the same people are suddenly not to be trusted after saying vaccinated people don't need to wear masks according to the same people who demanded they be blindly followed just a few months ago.

That's assuming I catch the virus. I have a... let's call it "high" chance of dying if I catch corona. But how likely am I to catch corona? I haven't caught it yet.

Then you might want to look up gullible in the dictionary? >_>

Because apparently people don't need medical care if they have homes? And the issues that made them homeless in the first place -- such as substance abuse and mental illness (which iirc impacts as much as 68% of the homeless people) -- go away? Otherwise, the cost of policing is already a sunk cost. Almost all of their functions that include the homeless would happen anyway if the homeless weren't there. You could argue, "Well, it's cheaper to put them in a home than a jail!", but they aren't going to jails anyway.

Beyond that, shelters are already a thing.

No, it literally doesn't. And it's embarrassing that you believe this. In fact, I'm flabbergasted that you could get something this wrong. I'd only meant my remark as a jab, I didn't think you literally believed this. JFC. No, money doesn't need to change hands to increase net worth. Net worth is based on an EVALUATION of your holdings. If the value of your holdings goes up -- even if you haven't received a fucking dime -- your net worth goes up.

In the case of property or stock, you can hold the same property or stock for 50 years and the value can increase a thousandfold. There are people who have vacation homes that they bought for $20k or $30k that are worth millions now because the value on the land has gone it (which, in some cases, has meant that they were forced to sell it because they can't pay for the increased taxes)

And generally speaking, money changing hands (when goods are exchanged for cash) typically results in a *neutral* shift in net wealth because your estimated value should be roughly the same. If I pay $5k for $5k worth of stock, the shift in net worth is theoretically zero.

And it literally is. If you're reinvesting dividends, the dividends are taxed. If the value of your stock simply goes up, you're not taxed because you haven't fucking made anything yet. Same for a property. This is just basic fucking knowledge any functional adult should know.

No, the fact that he hasn't been taxed on his STOCK before selling that stock is EXACTLY how it's supposed to work. Unless he sells that stock -- and the money changes hands -- he hasn't made a fucking dime on that stock, even if the value of the stock has gone from a few bucks to over a thousand dollars and his net worth -- which, again, is a largely imaginary number -- has increased massively as a result.

Overlooking that she was literally attacked and fleeing for her life, nobody died.

A claim that makes zero sense, although it's still not as bad as Lok insisting that a murder occurred when nobody died.

Pretty much. Toss in executives that have no understanding whatsoever of the source material that want certain things shoehorned in because they know they're popular, and you get something that's barely recognizable.

Mostly, this, at risk of TL;DW:

Someone posted a pretty big f*** Biden sign on the top of their massive pine tree that's clearly visible on one of our mains roads

A guy a few blocks from me had a Looney Tunes "That's All Folks" flag with Bidens face on it flying above an American flag that was upside down

I've seen bumper stickers (available at Amazon) .. I have yet to see someone wearing a shirt

We're a while away from 2024 but we can change things during the midterms, hold on America

No shit. I've seen the stats. You're refusing to accept it. 7 states reported ZERO child deaths from covid. In the states that reported child deaths, the range was 0.00-0.03% of total covid deaths. It's barely non-zero. The risk of a child dying from covid is so astronomically rare that it hardly makes sense to vaccinate them when they're still in testing phase for children.

So I'll ask, what's your obsession with forcibly innoculating children with a vaccine that hasn't even been studied for a whole year?

OhhhJa posted... Not actually. There have been over 6000 reported deaths in the VARES database after receiving pfizer/Moderna vaccines. That's just in the US in 6 months time. That's far more than children killed since the entire duration of the pandemic

OhhhJa posted... You mean the ones that vaccines aren't effective against? Yeah I've heard of them. I know multiple people fully vaccinated that have contracted covid months after being fully vaccinated

OhhhJa posted... When pfizer starts recommending it for children, I will vaccinate... but not before then

Kinda how double jeopardy laws work?

Well, I mean, his victim won't be picking up the pieces because he's dead and all, but nice flippant comic mocking the death of a teenager.

Except it's not. The feature literally exists to prevent governments from continually trying a person until they get a conviction and making a mockery of the system. It was always known that some guilty people would go free in order to prevent rampant abuse within the system that would lock up countless innocent people and remove any justice from the justice system.

The thing is the US has an actual flaw in the system that could be used to punish him down the road, namely the fact that if he's charged with another crime people may use that opportunity to punish him for something he previously did. Kind of like how they didn't get OJ the first time, but he went to prison for taking back his stuff which he might not have done if he didn't get away with murder earlier.

That's an option, but somehow I feel like casting a Colombian-American actress and then making her up to look super-white would end really, really badly.

It isn't explicitly set in Germany (afaik), nobody's specified to be white, there are no cultural references in there that rely on the characters being white... Certainly, the characters are presumed to be white, given the origins (the same can be said of most fairy tales), but there's nothing in there that relies on that.

Eh

People will forget the issue of miscasting when the movie flops

It happened to Fantastic Four, Annie, Without Remorse and it'll happen to The Little Mermaid

People dont want unnecessary changes, they want the same crap over and over

It's just another politically motivated stunt to punish the losers of an election, which is the kind of thing you'd expect to see in some third-world nation, not America.

Basically suggesting you'd have to be a [----] to believe in democracy.

that is really dumb

would be a perfect switch title as well

This is the term I'm most familiar with, and it works fine.

Considering the anti-police sentiment among leftists, it's unsurprising. I just hope that moderates come to their senses before the left drags the nation into lawlessness.

Between Zoom, Teams, WA and Skype, what need do I have for the Apple variant?

I mean, I guess, but we DO in fact separate men and womens sports leagues so as long as thats still the case, this legislation makes sense.

they're gunna ban trans-men from home ec, right?

Many people were exposed to covid, never exhibited symptoms of covid, and test positive for covid antibodies. Do they need a vaccine that isn't has good as their own immune system? Are they not a part of herd immunity?

Frankly, this should have been a thing LAST YEAR!!

There is no excuse they couldn't have done $2000 stimulus checks a month throughout all of 2020 once the shit hit the fan.

However, petitions are useless as the government has fully shown how little they care about the publlic they claim to be serving.

Because it's a weird fucking thing to highlight and the fact that you're highlighting it makes that kind of an implication. Not to mention that it's weird to see you protest one kind of bigotry while advancing another. And it's such an oddly specific bigotry that there isn't even a good word for it, since ochophobia is too general.

I haven't. I typically use my phone or my laptop in that case.
