Had my divorce and order of protection (OP) cases both at the same time today.

racocn8 comments on Jul 13, 2022:

After deciding to divorce, my wife agreed to seek a mediated settlement and went to a counselor to start the process. About a month later, after discussing it with her father, she lawyered up forcing me to do likewise. I'm certain her father paid for her lawyer, but I was disgusted at how little her...

racocn8 replies on Jul 13, 2022:

Very similar here. Even after the divorce that explicitly said no medical treatment without my assent, she took my daughter to HER therapist, who was a complete pocket-picking phony (zero progress after 10 years of expensive therapy). My daughter began shunning me just after the divorce so that she has refused contact for the last 9 years. I hope you fare better than I did.

racocn8 replies on Jul 9, 2022:

I wince at recalling the hundreds if not thousands of personalized appeals made. The response rate couldn't have been more than 3%. I had a hard time not concluding the women weren't severely stuck up, rude, or otherwise defective not to even acknowledge my ask. The women complain that they're bombarded with solicitations. I remember watching a rat colony where a rape gang would develop when a female went into estrus. The males followed the female wherever she went, waiting for a chance to mount. The abuse often seemed to end with no babies being produced at all. I later found out how Match generated their own fake profiles, supposedly for entertainment purposes (in the fine print). They even had phone banks of women to keep men interested in the site. Whenever one was close to re-subscribing, they'd send a few fake profiles to keep the hope alive long enough to get the rube to re-up. As soon as payment was received, the fake profiles disappeared. Utter crooks. I would have no problem turning the board into hamburger.

Biden signs executive order to protect abortion access

racocn8 comments on Jul 8, 2022:

Is Biden trying to show how weak a leader he is? He certainly could and should do so much more. If he can't handle the job, he should resign and let Harris show what she can do. (That's a scary thought)

racocn8 replies on Jul 8, 2022:

@rainmanjr I wanted Biden to run in 2016, and understand why he didn't. I support Biden in what he's done. However, I believe announcing that he wouldn't add justices to SCOTUS was a big mistake. As noted in the article, his response to Dobbs has been weak, and the details in the Presidential Order seem pathetic and only barely useful. Biden has not only failed to keep his promise in decriminalizing cannabis, but has acted in bad faith. He fir staffers on his way in who tested positive, seeems to have done nothing to help the many bills in Congress, and worst of all, done nothing to pardon the thousands of people, many of color, who are incarcerated for nothing more than possession. He needs an aggressive spokesperson (like Psaki) to make up for his own poor image. I give him credit for trying, but with all the talent in the wings, and what's gone on the last 5 years, the Democratic performance should be much, much stronger. I believe the stakes are too high for Biden to run again. Democrats must reach out to the younger generation. I wish I could believe Biden was a way to do that.

I know his efforts were sabotaged by the boll weevils, but the Senate should have voted each issue to get the GQP on record. Also, Biden has been terrible at messaging. The exception being Psaki. Psaki was great.

racocn8 replies on Jul 4, 2022:

A few nations have had female leaders, and it is my recollection that they were pretty popular despite their detractors. (i.e. Thatcher, Meir, Gandhi). Being female means they are more likely to be empathetic and rule accordingly. And yet I'm betting they had to fight to get the same level of cooperation as male leader. Misogyny runs deep and saturates our culture, alongside the misandry it generates. As we should see with recent experience, personality is everything. Although unelectable at the moment, in my utopia, we have a slew of highly competent women available: Gretchen Whitmer, Michelle Obama, Liz Warren and I'm sure many more. after a few thousand women die, and women are mobilized to vote, maybe being unelectable could change? Part of the problem is that vast swaths of women accept their second-class status to the point of becoming 'self-hating'. They then project that lack of confidence onto a candidate of the same sex, and embrace the misogyny of religion.

Dawkins is an outstanding author with many subtle stories and insights into the details of evolution. Similarly, Hitchens provides exceptional historical and social analysis. If you haven't read any of their books, it's more likely that you aren't inclined to read books. Similarly, I'm betting that you do indeed avoid non-religious groups, but that's your own behavior of avoiding socializing. Socializing performs the functions of putting yourself out there and opening up your views to criticism and challenge. That's not a risk-free activity. Not having done it means you have no basis to say what it's like, or who those people are. Whatever criticism you have appears to be imaginary. That you make such criticism without basis suggests you may need counseling for psychological issues.

Corporations serve various purposes: 1) Legal protections against wrongful suits. 2) Recognition as a legal entity. 3) Raising capital to fund growth, and many others. Corporate accounting is subject to taxation, and becoming wielders of political power, have lobbied for various loopholes. I believe that many states have their own individual laws governing corporations so that as example, it is more advantageous to incorporate in Delaware than in most other states. Thus, arguing that Corporations are illegal at a national level may not get far. I'm no expert on this.

@Robecology From the link: "A small collective community in northern Israel, modeled after the communist ideals of the Soviet Union, may hold clues to the development of U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ political beliefs. Sanders is Jewish and a self-described “democratic socialist.” In the 1960s, he spent several months volunteering on an Israeli collective farm, or kibbutz, that functioned according to communist principles." https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/09/politics/bernie-sanders-kibbutz-volunteer-israel/index.html The Republicans planned to dredge this out and use the term 'communist' as their dog-whistle. I recall reading that Sanders had friends in the kibbutz who were communists. Hell, Lucille Ball was a communist (at least for a while). People are entitled to their beliefs in this country, last I looked.

@anglophone It is absolutely true that the say that allegiance to God overrides everything. However, giving cover to someone who has been nothing less than a continuous incompetent crime spree, and cannot reasonably be squared with a devotion to piety. Should we take them at their word? Are they forgiving of lying and betrayal, or do they embrace those values for themselves, excusing their own bad behavior? Should we forgive this form of dementia? How do we deal with it?

racocn8 replies on Jun 10, 2022:

@nogod4me I have read that. However, the seizing of guns within the capitol, while documented by a reliable source, has been otherwise censored across all of the MSM. Had these seditionists not been stopped, it is certain that a bloodbath would have ensued. An FBI representative was questioned in front of Congress and was asked if weapons had been seized. She evaded the question saying that the FBI had not recovered any weapons. This misleading and misrepresenting of Jan 6 is infuriating. Whose purpose is served by this coverup? The best I can guess is that they are seeking to shield the security measures used at the Capital (sources and methods) that stopped the seditionists.

The variation of dose-response to cannabinoids is huge, varying from 2 mg to 2 grams. THC have a very complicated relationship: CBD is thought to interfere with THC binding to CB1, and to interfere with the P450 enzyme system that metabolizes THC to the stronger 11-hydroxy-THC. Then there are the variables of differing absorption in different parts of the GI. Genetic variation, other metabolic influences... A meaningful study would likely need hundreds of participants.

But Uvalde simple repeats the theme, except you have dozens of police stand around, seeing their duty as being to PREVENT parents from acting to protect their children.

Mass murders serve the purposes of the Evangelical White Supremacists, and a goodly share of shooters are racists or bigots. Christian Nationalists have a stranglehold on the GQP, and these shootings serve their interest in intimidating those deemed as lesser.
