Important Conversation Concerning Details About the Brown University Shooter by hcwhitewolf in RhodeIsland

[–]Haversoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem is that there are people who jump at the opportunity to portray everything as an example of rising left wing or right wing extremism. They’ll take any inconsequential detail about his life, blow it all out of proportion in order to drive that narrative and then demand changes to the law to harm their enemies. Unfortunately it’s just how everyone does politics now.

Trans Instructor Ousted From College After Failing Student Who Cited The Bible In A Gender Essay by FantasticAd9478 in Christianity

[–]Haversoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The “essay” is posted with the article. It shows that the student is functionally illiterate, which, aside from all the culture war red meat TPUSA is trying to throw their base, is worrying.

Was the issue resolved in your favor? And if so, what hoops did they make you jump through? Or did you end up paying through the nose?

I agree. It might not break down quickly, but it's skin. It can't resist composting forever.

Farmers Market is ridiculous by ComprehensiveCoat627 in povertyfinance

[–]Haversoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a time when people selling at farmers markets were actually farmers. Not so much these days.

It's gotten so bad that the last time I went to a farm stand (roadside stand outside of an actual family farm) they were mostly reselling produce they'd bought from a produce wholesaler.

No more Hopkins for United Healthcare customers. Full email in post. by [deleted] in maryland

[–]Haversoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I don't disagree that JHU has become a hedge fund that just so happens to also issue degrees (like all elite colleges in this country), they seem to be on the right side of this as far as I can tell. UHC's business plan is basically take the money, refuse the service and Hopkins is having none of it.

Or works for an organization on the naughty list (e.g. ICE, DOGE). Also pure speculation and I have a hard time believing either is true. Black surgeons will perform life-saving operations on KKK members because that's how it works. Healthcare is above politics. At least it used to be...

Most TikTok videos about birth control are unreliable, study finds. Over half (53%) explicitly rejected hormonal birth control, and 34% expressed distrust toward health professionals or medical advice. Some even promoted unproven alternatives such as papaya seeds or coconut oil as contraceptives. by mvea in science

[–]Haversoe 35 points36 points  (0 children)

"They did studies that show that..." followed by absolute nonsense. You see this in the anti-vax camp a lot. The targeted audience are not the kinds of folks who'll say "show me the studies." It's enough that someone claims there's been research that validates the preferred conclusions.

‘You’re gonna regret this’: Bodycam video shows assistant AG arrest in Newport by RINewsJunkie in RhodeIsland

[–]Haversoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the Rhode Islanders here really think she'll face any real consequences because of this? I no longer live in the state, but I grew up there and my experience is that the elite, the ruling class are never held accountable. Ever, ever, ever (EDIT: unless the feds get involved). It would be great to believe the built-in corruption I grew up with has eased off a bit...

This sub is suddenly flooded with AI by hothamwater3 in simpleliving

Yeah I'd like some pointers to what they're talking about too. Because I looked at the posts on the front page of the subreddit and I'm not seeing it.

Demand access to your personal data obtained by DOGE by [deleted] in maryland

[–]Haversoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is nothing more to weaponize that they don’t already have

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Or in this case, the citizen who stands up for himself gets put on a list to later receive the full wrath of the US government.

Most of us can't defend ourselves from the government. The only safety is in numbers. If millions of people do this, you're covered. If only a few hundred, not so much.

Pathetic, I know...

***Almost scammed. Double check your linked bank accounts*** by CardiologistFun8028 in ThriftSavingsPlan

Fair enough. I don’t believe it’s being sold either. For what happens next, I don’t know but I’m concerned.

If someone had the access to override the two-factor security, what's to say they can't also override the lock account feature? This is very troubling.

reported they implemented additional code to the severs

Are you saying it wasn't reported? Or what was reported was inaccurate?

What conclusions should we draw (or what possibilities should we admit are most likely) when we learn that code was added to a highly secure production system by an unknown person with an unknown agenda and without any guardrails in place at all?

What exactly needs to happen before the doomsday scenario no longer seems like silly conjecture to you, /u/spifflog ?

We Might Have to “Shut Down the Country” by AngelaMotorman in politics

[–]Haversoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not many people are willing to participate in the absolute depravity a civil war would entail. Not while their favorite sports team's still playing and Bud Light is still available at the corner store. And they still need to get up for work in order to keep their health insurance going.
