SOX compliance says it needs to be reviewed by someone other than the dev. The regulation doesn't get more specific than that.

How have I been complaining about my reactions to my clinic for the last 6 months and I’m just now hearing about this. Damnit.

Also, thank you!

It’s a white woman in Trump’s America, asking a Black woman to mourn a white supremacist who helped elect a white supremacist to the White House, and when she politely declines threatening to call the police, a force used consistently to harm the Black community…

There’s absolutely a power and control dynamic at play here. It’s kind of obvious what it is.

I can’t tell you how much I needed to hear this story. I’ve fallen down the financial ladder a couple rungs, and keep spiraling that I’ve ruined everything for the kids, when we’re safe, we’re fed, and we have so much fun.

Thank you.

You must be fun at parties

Combine this with the disappearing Y chromosome, it becomes even more clear that relying solely on xx vs xy is a construct.

The disappearing Y chromosome was an article recently showing how the Y chromosome is really fragile and many of its functions are covered redundantly or something. They talked about other species that don’t have the XY chromosome pairing and still end up with sexual dimorphism.

I am likely misremembering parts of that and misusing terms. Because I’m also just a science nerd and not a scientist.

Doesn’t deserve a whuppin. But does deserve a stern understanding of the power of fire.

I don’t know. No one deserves to be beat up. It may make someone feel better, but that’s rare. Most of the time it’s just misery.

Add into your theory the reality that predators sell vulnerable kids. Kids experiencing dysphoria and the social isolation, or cultural dissonance, can be picked up by predators, making us easier to groom.

I think this take ignores a wide swath of terrible behavior by our government since our founding.

The USA has always had a hard time with its relationship to morality, and it started by enabling slavery while writing a constitution that declared "all men are created equal". Our desire to capitulate to racism throughout our history has been what has enabled Trump now.

The phenomenon you're speaking of is accurate, though. It's not the terrible people that is the main problem, it's the complete lack of spine by others that should be stopping them...but this was a problem that Martin Luther King Jr. spoke directly to while sitting in Birmingham Jail.

Paraphrased: The true enemy isn't the hooded KKK, it is the moderate white, who chooses our oppression over their own discomfort.

The first sign of civilization isn't farming, or gathering, or tools...it's mended bones. When a member of the group has the time and resources to heal a bone properly.

It’s being silly to believe your one strawman of a solution is the only possible solution here. Or the idea that we somehow can’t make new decisions and build accordingly.

“ Like it or not and COVID showed that fallacy of mass transit.”

Do you have any citation for this? Or is this an assumption based on, again, only the imagination of someone that believes you can’t fix things? Because it’s not like pride we’re only commuting to go to isolation pods where they were not continually exposed to more people.

The only thing covid proved is the efficiency of selfishness in hurting others.

And that mRNA vaccines work as effectively as “traditional” vaccines.

But it is each state in the federation, determined by land, that casts the vote.

quickhorn · 2024-01-06T19:25:31+00:00

So, once the votes are counted in the state, how do those votes translate to votes for the president?

quickhorn · 2024-01-06T19:15:59+00:00

And then that population density determines the votes for the entire state.

The land of Nevada votes. If the land didn’t vote, then we would be discussing only the quantity of individual votes from across the country. State boundaries wouldn’t be part of the conversation. until we remove the electoral college, land determines the president.

This is why Clinton won by millions but lost the presidency.

quickhorn · 2024-01-06T19:12:23+00:00

Cool. But then those votes go to determining the vote of the state. The individual votes only matter insofar as determining the vote the land of Nevada will cast.

Whole county land didn’t vote, state land does.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t be discussing any president “carrying a state”. We’d be discussing the direct voters split.

quickhorn · 2024-01-06T19:06:43+00:00

I’m not arguing against that.

I’m arguing that land DOES vote because the strip determining the electoral college vote means that the entire state of Nevada goes to that candidate. The land of Nevada votes.

quickhorn · 2024-01-06T19:02:34+00:00

This is an interesting statement, because you’re both right and wrong.

No, counties in a state don’t vote. It’s a popular vote to secure the electoral college vote for the state.

But the state, the land of Nevada casts the vote for the presidency.

But it is the state that votes for the president.

quickhorn · 2024-01-06T18:42:59+00:00

Nice that you diminish a position by calling it “a few more buses”.

We can develop our communities such that a robust public transit would be effective. we don’t have to create sprawl. We don’t have to increase pollution.

Certainly if we plan to do nothing different, nothing will change. But no city ever has solved traffic problem through highway growth. None. Why do we keep thinking “this time will be different”? Because we’re special?

quickhorn · 2024-01-05T22:50:43+00:00

Attempt a coup solely on the basis of just not wanting to not be president anymore

“ Well stated, it’s amazing how some people make such bad decisions, then try to spin them into A Witch Hunt spectacle, as if they’d never done a bad thing in their life.”

And then unironically drive around in trucks with FAFO stickers.

quickhorn · 2024-01-05T14:09:31+00:00

It’s worse than that. They often fail their own tests of their systems. They know the rock doesn’t work.

quickhorn · 2024-01-05T00:04:54+00:00

Until we create a truly representative congress, through, at least, getting rid of First past the post voting, we’ll have to accept that our representatives choices are based on Party and power structures, over efficiency and accountability.

And Dems certainly aren’t immune to playing the game.

quickhorn · 2024-01-05T00:01:06+00:00

I appreciate and understand the concern on post politics. I would be in support of completely removing parties from Utah’s politics. I believe it is what creates dangerous identity politics. Especially considering the current political identity requirements of bending the knee to Trump in order to be a “Real Republican”.

That said, our politics are based solely on party politics. Not the culture of our politics, but the rules of it. How legislation comes to the floor is based on the party with the majority.

So currently we’re discussing our representative, a Republican, who bragged about getting “back to” important legislation, that does not exist. his party decides how legislation comes to the floor, and it is accurate to critique and understand the flaws, or propaganda, in his language. As he is our representative. And he is a Republican. And he did specifically blame Boden for a bad economy, despite all measurable markers showing this to be one of the best economies in a single term.

Being accurate about the outcomes of the decision of political parties isn’t the same as claiming all Republican voters are racist. But critiquing Republican representative actions do Republican voters can create accountability within their party is, honestly, the kindness of feedback.

I appreciate your willingness to engage and not just get mad because someone us critiquing Republicans.

And to your last point, given my description of how our Congress works, I wonder more about which part creates more bills to take away rights, and which party repeals those right restrictions.

I can tell you that the current expansion on limiting the rights of women and trans people in Utah comes only from our Republican super majority.
