They do vote on thousands of these per year and often rely heavily on the advice of their tram (as in their own policy advisor and staff, not the Democrats) so it may have just been a bad call.

Im not from the US but I wouldn’t throw out AOC over one bad vote. If I was her constituent I’d definitely call/email her to let her know how I felt about this issue and that it was an enormous letdown though. Gotta advocate.

Ah my bad, I was going from memory. Thanks for the correction.

Evidence: trust me bro

Call me a pessimist but while there’s oil in the gulf and the US relies on it for their ‘national security’, I’m pretty sure “prosecuted” is the one thing that Israel won’t be.

Its a solid meme, captain - but the Le Forge template was right there.

How my brain distinguishes them:

apt-get when you want full verbose output

apt when you want to feel fancy with progress bars and colours

Ehh… Bit early to be forgiving ourselves when most people haven’t even admitted there’s a problem.

Yes, see under Ocasio-Cortez in the 'yea’s

Your own source goes on to say Labradors are over-represented because they’re the most popular breed in the UK and the report count is a flat count of incidents, not a breakdown per 10,000 dogs for instance. They also are rarely serious bites so I’m not sure what point you’re making. The issue with dogs bred as fighting breeds is that they’re much more likely to cause catastrophic injury - that’s the whole problem. Nobody cares much if a Dachshund nips someone that stole its bone, they care if a dog mauls their toddler to death - which happens with far too much regularity, and is usually one of just a handful of uncommon dog breeds. Not Labradors, Dachshunds, or Chihuahuas. Pit Bulls and Doberman.

The point is how much you need to take for an active dose (eg getting drunk/high) and when you take this into account - it’s actually more likely you’ll kill yourself getting drunk than doing coke.

I have no strong opinion for/against legalizing cocaine, but your statements don’t seem to align with the literature I’ve read on the lethal dose of alcohol vs cocaine - which I’ve always seen list alcohol as worse.

For example the chart below which measures the dose required for an active dose vs a lethal dose as a ratio - alcohol is worse.

As has been shown time and time again, the 2A people only want the freedom to own guns so they can shoot up a carpark or nightclub full of unarmed brown people or school full of unarmed children and teachers on minimum wage.

They don’t actually have the balls or follow-through to, ya know… form a well regulated militia and bear arms to oppose tyranny. Even while the oppressors are stealing from them right out in the open every day of their lives, shooting and imprisoning their friends and family, and laughing about it to their faces. So long as they have their cosplay 1911 and AR15 to pose with in the mirror at night… all is well.

Read this to know the history of roughly thirty breeds of dogs that were selectively bred (some over hundreds of years) with the primary goal of being used in fighting.

You are just another of the many people who will happily ignore or hand-wave statistics and historical facts simply because it supports your predefined ideas that your special puppy would never. Until, they do.

The trouble is really twofold, firstly the people that are most impacted with heavy disease and death from measles are small children (whom have no say in their vaccination status, and we as a community should protect), and the massive additional unnecessary burden that will be placed upon the already struggling healthcare systems.

Just like we saw with covid, this will cause necessary medical procedures & treatments to be delayed, medical staff burnout, and an overall rise in ‘excess mortality’.

All because people have been listening to dipshits ‘just asking questions’ platforming antivaxxers and a rise in vaccine hesitancy due to mass propaganda online through poorly-regulated social media who value clicks and engagement (ragebait) over accuracy.

Damn, 20 long is gonna be hitting the limit in some sites

Trump’s terrible response to COVID19 resulted in a daily thousand people dead for nearly three years, 10,000 a week at it’s peak, almost a million in total.

His admin has also been accused many times of using terror tactics.

I think 20 years is long enough that political cartoonists can make 9/11 similes without worrying too much about pearl clutching.
