On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho. The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.
It is freeing to recognize that I have never sinned and it pissed Christians off when I say this. To clarify, in Christianity sin is not simply “the bad things we do” it is specifically an offense against god. God does not exists so i have never sinned against him....

If I say America is evil, or America is racist and genocidal from it’s inception, people don’t rush to say “Well the American government is bad, and racists are bad, and voters who keep upholding white supremacy are bad, and America’s racist laws are bad, and the racist features in America’s founding documents are bad, and America is build on stolen land, and American imperialism is bad, and America’s long bloody history is bad, BUT let’s be clear that Americans are good. Also, many of Americas enemies are also bad.”
Most likely scenario is that they drive around in their trucks waving both flags of the US and flags of traitors to the US, block traffic, and post to Facebook.
Worst case scenario, there is a wave a of hate crimes as these hyped up fascists try to “defend America” by picking fights with any random brown person they see.
Best case scenario, they try messing with federal agents, get arrested, and wont be voting in November.
I can afford to miss a paycheck. In fact, I’m currently planning for a four month stretch where I’ll need to live off of savings. Thinking that I, with my 11 year old honda fit, 10 year old PC, and my 2 roommates, am in the top 20% of this stat is very alarming.
Oh, bottom right hits deep. I was raised catholic and even though it was easy for me to accept that sex and masturbation were fine after I got out I am still discovering ways that I was taught to be ashamed of my body that are affecting me 14 years later.
Reduced, maybe, but I don’t think it will impact things significantly. The types of people who participate in that do not want an alternative because they do it because they want to hurt and abuse a real person. They want to have power over another human being and make them suffer. An endless stream of porn isn’t going to fix that sickness.
Smartphones are cool but they are fairly limited as far as the types of data that they can really take in. If you were putting together a kit of tools with existing technology to gather data for science and engineering which tools do you think would be most important? Here are my ideas....
Oh yes, AI image recognition absolutely gives me that tricorder vibe. I have a friend at my community garden with some apps like that and it is so much like an away mission when she quickly makes an ID and tells us what to do with that information.
scan “This is honey suckle it needs to be removed.”
scan “This is an indigenous cone flower, it will attract pollinators”
I do clinic defense each weekend and hear arguments similar to this all the time. The typical phrase is “The baby’s body is not your body.” My new go to response is “Ok, but where is that baby’s body?”
No this article isn’t good. The author, Richard Lynn, is a self declared racist. I’m not even making an accusation, he has said that about himself.
IQ is a bullshit construct, and it especially was never designed for population level studies. His idea of genotypic IQ is then an added layer of quackery because there is no gene that he is testing for he is just assuming that you get the average of the IQ of your parents. That would be like assigning a “genotypic speed” to a baby based on the average 100 meter dash of its parents. Except that would be more scientific because the time of a 100 meter dash is at least measurable and real, unlike IQ.
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, a sign of the president’s strength in uniting his party to have the backing of one of its most liberal members
How is RFK Jr. the primary opposition? I know he wasn’t, but it feels like he was put there by the dem establishment as a threat. When I’m feeling like I would support any other democratic candidate to run in place of Biden, this barely younger absolute crank leans in and goes ‘anyone?’ Ah fuck, let’s go dark Brandon… if i have to… I guess.
Now on top of my workload, which is already insane, I’m expected to set and meet personal goals by some arbitrary deadline? This shit is so condescending. I’m an adult, being paid to exchange my time and work for a salary. I don’t need to be treated like a child and made to complete these homework assignments to prove my...
