I got a bogus moving violation ticket in a ghetto. Decided to fight it. Watched as minority after minority got their ass handed to them in traffic court. Cops are super rude about everything. Few months later I get jury duty. Hispanic man accused of a violent crime…ok yeah. I have already seen how the sausage is made.

Now I didn’t get picked they had enough before they even got to me but I admit I would be very disinclined to take the justice systems word. Maybe that is the wrong attitude to have. Just because the justice system is very very imperfect doesn’t mean that there is no crime.

Everytime the justice system does something like this. Mistreats minorities or the poor, refuses to go after the powerful it weakens it’s authority. And we are all worse off.

Meanwhile at work I can’t take a gift over five dollars and if I get like a box of chocolate I leave it in the break room.

Amazing how much integrity you must show is inverse to the amount of damages not showing it will cause.

If it is the Mirror I don’t click it or believe it. Stop spreading propaganda.

Even if I were a robot I would hs r somehow done more travel compared to another person I could name here.

Doubt.

Doubt.

Did you enjoy your semester of study abroad?

Do people in socialist countries not care about physical appearance? Odd since I have known people who live in planned group owned collectives and they didn’t look like any uglier or better than the rest of the population.

For a frequent traveler you have never been to Italy or Korea.

When I travel abroad I try to drink bottled water from my home country for the first three days, after that I I drink the native stuff. A frequent traveler taught me this trick and it seems (yes I know anecdotal) to work.

Really not an expert on this stuff but I imagine there are just different bacteria in the water and that is what people are reacting to.

You could get a Red Letter Bible and get the same result. For a while I would give them as Christmas presents to religious people I knew.

A. I enjoyed the look of confused when they first leaf thru it and notice how the supposed main guy of the entire book says nearly nothing.

B. Best way to make atheists is to teach people the Bible. Or in this case giving them better study tools.

Meh. If you ignore every cancer long enough you don’t have to worry about any of them.

We need a neutral body that is willing to treat it like binary. Does it increase the odds of cancer above a certain threshold given situations that normal users would deal with? Then yes it causes cancer. Else no. I am sick of these governing bodies using weasel words to defend their claims. Statements like this make people do averaging. Suddenly these super hypothetical situations are rated as deadily as smoking.

I am starting to miss the echo chamber of YouTube. I am a fairly leftwing atheist in a solid blue state that ranks near last in religious observance. And yet roughly a quarter of the suggested videos/ads I get are for things like Epoch Times, Prager U, HeGetsUs, PJ Media.

Alright so the only way I am clicking on that stuff is by accident. From the advertisement point of view this is worse than selling iceboxes to Inuit, this is like trying to sell ribeye steaks to vegans with no money.

Which makes you wonder what the future holds. Say you are Epoch Times and you find out the YouTube is pushing your product on people who actively don’t want to buy it how much longer are you going to pay Alphabet for a failed advertising campaign?

We just want to give our car “owners” a sense of accomplishment.
