It’s a scapegoat used by scoundrels to assuage their guilt and escape accountability for their behavior. “It was fate, it was destiny, it was going to happen anyway, nothing can be done about it, so no reason to feel bad.”

Because once that guard sees a robbery is happening, all they’re going to do is call the police anyway. Why pay a person to sit there all day long when the teller will trigger the alarm just as fast, if not faster?

Do you fully boycott Coca-Cola, Amazon, Meta, Johnson & Johnson, Dupont, Monsanto, Sysco, Chic-Fil-A, and Nestle too? They all donate considerably more money to authoritarian regimes.

I like having the option to pack up and leave a place if I don’t like the laws there. Already did it once, worked out great for me. YMMV.

Who says one governing body means only one set of rules? What if one governing body kept different rules for different areas?

Came here to say this. Most of these books are probably superseded by newer versions and/or already archived. Also, if these books have spent a lifetime untouched in a university, how useful are they, really?

There’s no reason the two need to be the same. We don’t talk in heximal either

There’s no way to predict how a date will be used. No reason not to be flexible. No reason to break convention.

If the officers “turned it into” a tool for stalking, that means officers were stalking people with it. Stalking people is a crime. If these are truly “rogue” officers, that means they weren’t supposed to be stalking people, so they should be charged with the crime of stalking.

But they weren’t. And they won’t be.

This is exactly what the cameras are for, this is exactly what all cops are doing with them, and they will continue to be allowed to do it.

New York is suing an illegal gambling operation, calling is an illegal gambling operation

As if the nationwide camera network wasn’t purpose-built exactly for this.

“Gosh, someone came in here and turned our perfectly innocent, nationwide array of facial and vehicle recognition cameras that we programmed to recognize and log everything and turned it into something nefarious while we weren’t looking! Imagine that! It’s those damn dirty no-good rogue officers that are the problem, not our panopticon no one asked for.”

Don’t break convention

Schools in Chicago finna go plum wild

A fuccgirl who brags about her conquests on Lemmy like it’s her Live Journal

Good, that rules out a bunch of serious stuff a lot of people don’t think about.

Others have already given better advice, I’m just trying to brainstorm some of the less-likely possibilities.

Airplanes and firearms are the most common, but not the only form of lead exposure. Lead and heavy metal toxicity can take months of non-exposure to correct and wouldn’t show up on a normal blood test. It might be worth getting a blood test specifically for lead and other heavy metals like cadmium, palladium, and cobalt, especially if anyone you know works at a muffler shop or something.

The only other thing I can think of is maybe Radon, especially if you have a basement or other area in your house where air doesn’t circulate well. That wouldn’t necessarily show up on a blood test either. Radon test kits are cheap, but I think some of them require lab processing so look at for that if you decide to buy one.

Either way, I’m older than 32 and don’t have the same problems you describe. It’s definitely not “just getting older”.

Unfortunately, male doctors often don’t take women’s health issues seriously. I’m not sure how much you like and trust your current doctor, but a second opinion from another (possibly female) doctor may be a good idea.

Your test results, plus fatigue, without an accompanying protein, vitamin, or nutrient deficiency, seems to indicate an infection of some kind, possibly in the liver or kidneys. Some environmental factor is also possible.

Your combination of test results and symptoms seems a cause for concern. I would consider asking your Dr. about it, possibly getting a second opinion.

Are you absolutely certain no one is drugging you? Do you consume something every day that ANYONE else prepares for you? Try going a week living like Madeye Moody, only eat and drink things you make yourself, from groceries YOU buy, from a store you don’t normally visit.

Do you have a gas water heater, oven, or furnace? Do you have a carbon monoxide detector? Is it mounted low on the wall? Have you tested it recently?

Do airplanes fly over you often? Do you or anyone you know use firearms often? If yes to either, when is the last time you had a blood lead level test?

It could be a vitamin or nutrient deficiency. A routine blood test at the Dr. can rule this out.

The head developer(s) of Lemmy are hardcore Marxist/Maoist/Leninist. The “ml” in Lemmy.ml means “Marxist/Leninist”. They openly ask for donations so they can quit their jobs, develop Lemmy full-time, and use Lemmy to spread their beliefs.

PieFed was created specifically so people could contribute to the Fediverse without contributing to the advancement of Marxist/Leninist ideologies.

No idea who. But there’s plenty of evidence to show that the American financial elite, at minimum, knew exactly what was happening and when.

1. Building 7 was involved for no good reason. Despite being nowhere near ground zero, it was mysteriously set ablaze, then fully evacuated and demolished.

2. Building 7 is the location where evidence was being stored and the biggest financial crimes of the past decade, including Enron, were being investigated.

3. The section of the Pentagon that was attacked also held evidence and personnel investigating high-profile financial crimes.

4. The WTC buildings were full of asbestos and required to undergo a lengthy and expensive abatement process. For this reason, the owner acquired the buildings in early 2001 for a mere $900 million. The abatement was required to be completed by Jan 1, 2002 but was never scheduled. The project would have taken approximately one year. After the buildings were destroyed, the owner collected a $1.2 billion insurance payout.

5. In the days leading up to the attack, a HUGE number of puts were purchased against American Airlines and United Airlines, the only two airlines involved in the attack. Every mathematician and statistician who looks at the numbers say it’s indistinguishable from people buying based on foreknowledge. Despite this, investigators concluded no one could have possibly know ahead of time what would happen.

Who’s involved? Who orchestrated it? How much of it was planned, and which parts were done along the way out of opportunism? Us normal folk may never know.

But I’ll tell you one thing, anyone who buys the official narrative is being fooled.

Steam machine sales numbers are nowhere near high enough for that
