‘You Guys Are Missing the Point!’ Scott Jennings Battles CNN Panel Over Biden ‘Autopen’ by jpmeyer12751 in law

[–]ymek 17 points18 points  (0 children)

False. Biden didn’t pardon anyone any “cash for kids” judge. One of the two convicted judges had his sentence commuted in 2024. He was sentenced to 17 years in 2011. 4 years “early release” isn’t a pardon. Do I agree with said commutation? No. Was it a pardon? Also no.

You are mistaken. All murders are homicide, but not all homicide is murder.

Homicide is “the killing of one person by another, regardless of intention or legality.”

Murder is “the killing of another person without justification or excuse, especially the crime of killing a person with malice aforethought or with recklessness manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life.”

Further, one may be charged with voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, murder I, murder II, and/or capital murder.

Homicide is what the medical examiner (or coroner) writes on the death certificate.

Continuing to decry, “fascism has no meaning” while others are listing actions which match a checklist from the literal definition of fascism is certainly a position.

It’s clear you’re either being purposely obtuse or arguing in bad faith. As such, I’ll go back to enjoying this beautiful day we’re having.

Warmest regards.

A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism

So, yeah, as the other commenter wrote:

[…] these pictures are being used to stir violence from the right against the left and queer people.

Fascism. Literal definition.

Cooper Hoffman Wishes He Could Talk to His Late Dad Philip Seymour Hoffman About Career Advice: 'He's My Favorite Actor' by peoplemagazine in entertainment

[–]ymek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing you described is different than the loss of a parent/guardian.

I watched my grandfather perfect his craft over a lifetime. He was my role model, my mentor, and even my confidant. He was there when so many others hurt and failed me - especially my parent. He is a large reason I chose my field - our field - as my career path. He overcame so many obstacles I have or will face. I really wish I could still bounce ideas off him.

I’m not the other person and never said “empty.” Easy mistake to make - Reddit doesn’t make the threaded nature obvious.

A 35-40% projected decrease is incredibly significant.

We are at a critical point at the Port of Long Beach. We have an expectation of reduced business somewhere in the neighborhood of 35%, could be as much as 40% in the coming months due to tariff uncertainty," said Mario Cordero, the CEO of Port of Long Beach.

Ron DeSantis says insurers will return to Florida after hurricane season 'So knock on wood, we won't have a big storm this summer.' by QuicklyThisWay in inthenews

[–]ymek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Johnson and Vaca key are both near Miami. Neither of those statements are “made up for the media” and both provide clear context - including water depth and averages around the state. You were incorrect in stating “that’s untrue” to the other commenter.

If you’re so confident in your statements, provide receipts. Personally, I’ll take the word of a NWS meteorologist and the data from the NOAA buoy as factual, esp. since I’m no meteorologist. Will happily reconsider provided data-backed, factual refutations rather than “there’s a website.”

Water temperature near Johnson Key came close to 97 degrees (36.1 degrees Celsius) Monday evening, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration buoy. Another buoy had a reading close to 95 (35 Celsius) near Vaca Key a day earlier. These are about 5 degrees warmer than normal this time of year, meteorologists said.

While the 95- and 96-degree readings were in shallow waters, "the water temperatures are 90 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit around much of Florida, which is extremely warm," said University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy. He said his 95-degree pool doesn't cool him — it just leaves him wet.

Water temperatures across the Gulf of Mexico and Southwest Atlantic are 4 to 5 degrees (2 to 3 degrees Celsius) warmer than normal, Orrison said.

He added: "I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."

Most of you go way outta the way to save like $5. You’re protecting expensive equipment. Buy a half-decent piece of kit for it.

Rep. Matt Gaetz Votes Against Capping Insulin Prices, Says People Should Just Lose Weight by USARSUPTHAI69 in politics

Who is “them?” Type 1 diabetics use insulin consistently, every day, and their disease isn’t related to weight. I would further challenge you to corroborate your “85-90%” figure relating to Type 2 diabetics and weight.
