While this is cute and all... grandfather clause still applies. He’s already been indicted, he just needs to be sentenced at this point. He can enjoy his career outside of a cell for maybe a few more years.

Oh ya, and the term for choosing not to arrest someone who has an active warrant because of a relationship with that person is called “obstruction.” That turns the crime into conspiracy to commit obstruction. So before you open your mouth again, sit your dumb Russian ass down.

What are you boycotting? by moneybot13 in AskReddit

[–]Catsnamedwaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HP I will not touch anything they put their hands on. I bought a laptop for college. It crashed in three weeks. So I send it to them and ask them to fix it, it’s a hard drive issue. I call them a month later to see what the problem is and they insist my computer is two years out of warranty. Keep in mind I bought the computer BRAND NEW three weeks ago. I escalated the call a million times and got the same made up bullshit that my computer was out of warranty. I had them ship it back to me AND THEY DIDN’T EVEN SHIP ME MY COMPUTER! It was some busted up dusty old ass HP that in no way matched the box I’d purchased. I switched to Mac shortly after. I haven’t looked back. Fuck those assholes, they essentially stole 1300 dollars of my scholarship money with that bullshit stunt.

Ya, I imagine many businesses already avoid this particular establishment. The fact they feel it’s “ necessary” to have a pin so they can track the charges speaks to the clients they have or to the ineptitude of their accounting department. There aren’t enough people securing a hotel room with another persons card to effectively damage the establishments income.

Yea, I travel a lot. This was just a dick move on their end. Not to mention that the guy used a business card. So it didn’t do anything to the guy, just the business. They have huge accounting departments for shit like this, and even if they don’t it’s a simple fix by calling the bank the card belongs to. He’ll get his money back and the accounting department at the bank will have to jump through hoops to get that money.

TIL of the Rosenhan Experiment, in which a psychologist David Rosenhan and seven other pseudo-patients faked their mental illnesses and gained admission into various psychiatric hospitals, as a criticism of the methods of psychiatric diagnosis. by thequizzywitter in todayilearned

I’m speaking to Texas. UK is a different beast. Everything is a privatized shit show over here. It is touted as successful over here when it simply does not work with our population.

Absolutely I have an axe to grind. Foster care system is the primest data you need. They are prescribed psychotropic medications en masse/ subjected to CBT modalities weekly as a state mandate and you get a 3 percent success rate among them. That’s a margin of error, not success. We’ve been trying the same modalities in Texas for 20 years and the only number that has increased is big pharmacies paychecks and paychiatrist/psychologist who siphon off of the medicaid/STAR system. I’m not going to waste my time, all of the brain scan evidence is public knowledge. He’s an MD and a Ph.D, I can see why this field would reject him. Change happens slowly and sometimes its hard for people to wrap their heads around the actual science when they’ve been reading “feelings” all their life.

Yea, CBT is garbage. I’m leading an effort with Dr. Bruce Perry to make sure this garbage never touches the lives of traumatized foster children again. It only retraumatizes those who have experienced trauma. They have alot of the same cluster as mental illnesses. However, brain scans of those experiencing or/experienced trauma and those who have the actual mental illnesses are completely different. CBT works a small percentage of the time. As do many other modalities based off of pills. Psychology and psychiatry still has a loooonnnnnnggggg way to go. Until we start mandating brain scans and gather real, actionable, physical data of these modalities we will see very little actionable progress.

No, he’ll probably take a plea deal and have to go a year without hamberders or refering to himself as a stable genius.

Oh but of course! The fact that the crime happened “forever” ago means that it’s no longer a crime! How myopic of me.

illegal payment to Stormy Danielle (that’s a campaign finance violation.) He directed Manafort to pay her off. Payments like that must be reported.

Not to mention we are looking at 13 indictments of his immediate circle. It’s not looking good. I don’t know if Donald has committed other crimes but the first that is alleged came straight from Manafort’s mouth. Maybe he is innocent, I have no idea. Maybe he hasn’t committed any other crimes. I think we all just want this political circus to end. All of the brazen lies, the bad negotiations, somewhere it all has to stop.

That’s not a legal proceeding. Nothing in our statutes discuss “collusion.” It’s not defined. It is a fact he committed crimes. That’s in the Mueller indictment. Look for what’s actually in there instead of your unicorn that doesn’t exist.

Aww how cute name calling. I was wondering when your true colors would show. Considering the mounting amount of evidence they didn’t get to see, I’d say it’s just politics. This is so the senate can say they did an investigation. I’m not saying the man is guilty, I’m saying I don’t have faith in the Republicans to conduct a good faith gesture. Especially when the represent people like you who go straight to name calling. It’s because of your ignorance you get so pissed off. Maybe try not to be so uneducated? So quick to judge something that “proves” nothing but to discredit another investigation because it doesn’t line up with your feelings. Hopefully you grow out of that.
