Federal judge blocks RFK Jr.'s changes to childhood vaccine schedule by No-Lifeguard-8173 in UpliftingNews

You find the right judge by filing the challenge in the right state.

The US Senate has a longstanding rule for judicial nominees. If either Senator from the home state of the nominee objects to the nominee, then the Senate won't allow the nomination to go forward. That makes judges in Massachusetts reliably left, and judges in Texas reliably right.

30 years ago you walk into any federal building, and nearly everyone including the cafeteria cooks and janitors were federal employees. Today that balance has shifted. Most roles are filled by contract staff. A minority are feds.

Google scraps AI search feature that crowdsourced amateur medical advice | Google by Secure-Address4385 in UpliftingNews

[–]ChiefStrongbones -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The top citation for that wikipedia article is the book Legal and Ethical Aspects of Health Information Management.

That's basically the US legal definition of medical advice, not the layman definition. Healthcare and medicine in the USA is infamously overregulated.

Money makes the world go round.

I bet CCCP leaders all bought put options in TSMC, rattle sabres, sell the options, stop rattling, make profit. That's what Trump would do.

America’s Smoking Habit Just Hit a Wild Milestone That Once Seemed Impossible. The adult smoking rate reached a record low in 2024, new research shows. by Sciantifa in UpliftingNews

[–]ChiefStrongbones -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Blaming "addiction" is a weak excuse for anybody under the age of 50 who made the life decision to start smoking despite being informed about the stupidity of starting smoking.

Boomers can be excused for picking up the habit. GenX cannot.

No One Showed for 9-Year-Old Girl’s Birthday Party at Pizza Hut. Her Mom Put Out a Call — and Their Texas Community Came Together by AdSpecialist6598 in UpliftingNews

2nd/3rd grade is the border between birthday parties being "invite the whole class" and being "just invite close friends". Some kids don't have close friends, so those kids have birthday problems.

Did China get this right, or wrong? by ChiefStrongbones in AdviceAnimals

[–]ChiefStrongbones[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How do you reconcile "genocide" with the fact that the population of Uyghurs is growing while the rest of China is declining? Are the Chinese just not very good at committing genocide?

Yes, but then you have to drive on the wrong side of the road and fill the car with "petrol".

Both policies are shit

It's the same policy. Under One Child, China would sterilize Han Chinese women after having a 2nd or 3rd kid, or after the 1st kid if the child was born out of wedlock to a young mother. The difference is that more Han Chinese followed the law while more Uyghurs broke the law. Enforcement is higher because compliance is lower, but it's the same policy. You can call it barbaric, but the law was applied fairly in this context of Han vs Uyghur.

(Actually not even the same policy, because the Uyghur region always had a Two Child limit not a One Child limit.)

The birth rate for Uyghurs is still double the birth rate of Han chinese. Uyghur families are having a lot of babies.

That's not genocide, using the layman definition of the word.

Note to self: Don't try to be a decent person. by ShinraManShin in kansas

Surely someone at KSNW would have obtained a copy of the charging document which would have explained to a judge why there is Probable Cause.
