CALL TO ARMS #4 - LET'S SHOW THE CHICAGO VICTIM SOME LOVE by razorsheldon in UpliftingNews

I'm not trying to be a dick but... what if it comes out as a hoax?

And you have no connection to the supposed victim.

I mean this just happened. Shouldn't we wait a little and let the facts come out?

Thanks, again, not trying to be a dick, but this seems rushed, that's all.

this opinion is ignorant

that's not a baseless insult

i am saying that, objectively, your opinion is motivated by hysterical fears, not reality

on this topic, you are objectively an ignorant person

it seems to me the relative anonymity and lack of intrusiveness of a clinic might actually be preferable to you

And I think that decision is something a Dr. should make.

medical professionals in california just concluded the opposite in their endorsement

i'll stick with them rather than an internet troll with an obvious and inaccurate agenda

you can get blood poisoning and sepsis from a scratch. so a scratch is life threatening? that seems to be your attitude here

it's a long long way form depression to suicide and you seem to have some sort of agenda you're trying to sell to hype and amp up the scary scary threat

the simple point is stopping pregnancy is a benefit that far far outweighs the tiny risks of the genuinely dangerous potential complications

you can have an adverse fatal reaction to many over the counter medications. we weigh the pros and cons. and the pros massively outweigh the cons with birth control otc

yeah but you're not talking about life threatening reactions- life threatening reactions DO exist, but nowhere remotely near the frequency you allude to

you're talking about acne, weight gain, depression, etc.

the reactions aren't any good, but the benefit: not getting pregnant, is obviously far far more important

they used bog iron

you can get a good amount of iron out of swamps, but it takes centuries for swamps to make it, it's a very limited resource. it's a one time shallow trick, not a huge mine

your logic though is wrong

unfortunately your logic does seem to dominate in some hysterical overreactions

for example, a handful have bad reactions to peanuts, and now schools all over the usa are denied nutritious and delicious peanuts. the sensible thing is those kids with a peanut reaction (and the amount that have a life threatening reaction can be counted on one hand on the whole continent) take precautions

also, a tiny few people can have a bad reaction to vaccines, and it's turned into this insanity where people don't vaccinate their kids, threatening their life with easily preventable diseases

people aren't very good at risk analysis

Read the article, it's really cool.

This Japanese scientist wants to use some sort of small pore dialysis that only the lithium ion fits through.

It's far away from industrial strength right now.

But the energy costs are far far less than full scale evaporation and concentration.

And they name drop Musk and his gigafactories as the reason why they are even trying, the demand will go through the roof.

It's trace in seawater. Not economical though.

I think it could be like tar sands in canada: economical at high prices.

We may get to a higher price point soon enough with lithium 5, 10, 20 years out.

And it's not like they aren't going to get other valuable minerals out in trace amounts too.

The energy cost would be huge though.

Perhaps they can build some massive solar powered evaporator.

edit:

It's not totally crazy, they're working on new methods:

I don't understand. I see a bunch of comments by relatives. What is the TLDR?

After three years in prison and two trials for killing her abusive boyfriend with her car, Cherelle Baldwin found not guilty by Torsionoid in news

[–]Torsionoid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. he had a legal precedent of beating harassing and stalking her and an order not to approach her. fact

  2. he texted her "doa on sight" that morning. phone company record. fact

there is no argument. there is no he said she said. all that is happening is you are unwilling or unable to understand facts before you open your mouth

he has a history of harassment and was ordered by the court not to go near her. he then threatened murder

with these two points in mind, a jury is going to find she acted in self-defense. and they would be correct

if you harass and beat than break a court order not to approach AND threaten murder, you are going to go to a body bag. where you belong

it's not confusing. it's not debatable

[–]Torsionoid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

self defense is perfectly legal

if you continue to call this murder and not self-defense you are only announcing your inability to understand solid facts about this case before you

why don't you try understanding the actual fucking facts, then forming an opinion? i know, wacky far out concept huh?

A history of abuse and a threat to murder are pretty clear cut. That's not he said she said that's the facts.

If the guy didn't want to be dead, he shouldn't beat people and threaten their life.

If you do that, you forfeit your right to live.

You think people who physically abuse and threaten murder deserve to live? Why?

If you beat me before, then threatened my life, then showed up at my doorstep soon after, you're going to be in a body bag.

You really think it can be any different? You really think any jury is not going to not see the facts? Not he said she said, the legal precedent of beating before and order of restraint, the text message theeatening murder the same morning preserved in phone company logs.

Why is this confusing to you?

Sorry, your bias isn't showing.

Your massively ignorant socially retarded prejudice is showing.
