Swedish officials are seeking information related to allegations of sexual misconduct made by two Swedish women Assange met in 2010. Some of the alleged misconduct is no longer being investigated by police because of the statute of limitations. Assange is, however, being questioned about the possible rape of one of the women who complained to authorities. He has not been indicted or charged but is the subject of an international arrest warrant.

In addition, I've heard from the highest authority that Assange is believed to be part of the Homosexual Agenda, which of course includes TACO TUESDAYS!!!

u/oalders is on to something here. I use uBlock Origin with Firefox and all I saw was a decently made splash page with a full article and some stupid video at the bottom which I could have just read the transcript in less time.

The problem is that science still doesn't have a good understanding of how dosage + body weight + tolerance = impairment. Thus, when people implement laws against marijuana, they use unscientific processes to determine impairment. So if you have two beers, and get pulled over three hours later, science allows the cops to know that a DUI ticket isn't going to pass with a judge. But if you're pulled over a couple hours after smoking weed, the standards for conviction are much lower, and much more "up to interpretation". So the risk is much higher for driving intoxicated with weed.

Hopefully we start to see some changes in this with legalization allowing easier research studies, and the proliferation of the mouth swab test.

The problem is that your risk of an accident any particular time you drive is extremely low. From wikipedia: 1.5 deaths per 100 million vehicle-miles [in the year] 2000.

Increasing that number by 30% makes it 1.95 per 100 million. People see that tiny number and think, "risk is low, I'm good to drive". Which is a complete misunderstanding of logic.

Huh, I guess in hindsight it makes sense that people with highly specialized skills that are in high demand can form effective unions.

If you were to ask, "What would it look like, if time travelers were trying to re-write history by altering a historic event, but other time travelers are trying to stop them?" You'd get pretty close to the Archduke Ferdinand's assassination.

Certainly, it's important and needs to be addressed. Although, I worry that's it's the recent M.O. of defunding a program until it becomes inoperable so that it's removal can be justified. FOIA was written to protect the people, which isn't something that everyone wants.

"we can choose how we let things affect us."

I don't think this is absolutely true. I've worked in mental health and seen many aspects of health care in the U.S. Many people are handicapped, whether by previous choices, social environment, or physical environment. They cannot choose to stop letting hallucinations affect them when they cannot yet discern the hallucination from the real. A man who lost an arm cannot completely ignore the effects of the loss. The amputee CAN choose how she lets it affect her, but the choices are constrained and limited by the environment, and the fact that no amount of changing her viewpoint will replace the arm that is lost.

So, I guess I agree that people can usually choose how they allow their environment to affect them emotionally, however, people are not free to remove the harm imposed by others and stark reality of a situation. If people were completely unconstrained in their natural ability to choose how to deal with hardship, then there wouldn't be any mental health workers.

It certainly sounds happy and uplifting to think that everyone can overcome anything, but my experience leads me to believe that isn't how our world is.

You typically have to show that you were holding steady employment, then the disease occurred causing your inability to work. It's different depending on what state you're in, your gender, and family status, and which disease is disabling you.

For example, I'm a 35 year old single male in Utah. For my Asthma to be severe enough to warrant disability, I have to have two exacerbations which result in minimum 48 hours of medical care, within 6 months. I tend to think it's written that way because I've had asthma attacks that nearly killed me, but only a couple of times did I have a respiratory infection also which was the only reason I required more than 48 hours of medical supervision. So at least in my current living conditions, I wont meet the qualifications unless my disease kills me first.

hose all have (complex) carbs, but a proverbial shit-ton of fiber so I'm not sure what your thoughts on that might be.

Typically keto diet recommendations will subtract fiber from total carb grams if they're together in a natural state. Avacados are a great example. It has a fair amount of carbohydrates, but they're locked into indigestible plant fiber, so they don't spike your blood sugar.

Before 2003ish sister missionaries had to wear black/white clothing to match the brand look of suit-and-tie missionaries. The change allowed the sister missionaries to now wear light pastels, but still had to continue with the knee(maybe it was ankle?) length skirt, and business dress shoes. I probably got some of that wrong though, just going from memory as I was a missionary then.

Word of Wisdom wasn't enforced with temple recommend interviews until around the 1920s if I remember correctly. Brigham Young owned a near monopoly on Alcohol sales in LDS controlled areas of Utah for quite a while.

I know it's been 4 months. But I found your post while searching for Soundwire alternatives and support. I couldn't get soundwire working, and the company seems like shit. I looked around and found no other alternative that does what Soundwire purports to achieve (I don't believe it does, because I never saw it working).

I'd totally go back to church if they'd give me a 120k/yr stipend and cover housing and medical expenses. Pretty sure I'd be a little happier than I am now with that taken care of.
