Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

  • Some said the first ER missed warning signs of infection that deserved attention. All said that the doctor at the second hospital should never have sent Crain home when her signs of sepsis hadn’t improved. And when she returned for the third time, all said there was no medical reason to make her wait for two ultrasounds before taking aggressive action to save her.

    Hawkins noted that Crain had strep and a urinary tract infection, wrote up a prescription and discharged her. Hawkins had missed infections before. Eight years earlier[…]

    This has nothing to do with abortion ban. This has everything to do with shitty doctors. None of this required or even remotely called for any abortion. And should that first doctor NOT have been allowed to keep their license from previous cases of being a bad doctor… A women and her child probably would be alive today.

    The other facility that examined the case was also in Texas. Clearly the “ban” doesn’t stop them.

    The well-resourced hospital is perceived to have more institutional support to provide abortions and miscarriage management, the doctor said. Other providers “are transferring those patients to our centers because, frankly, they don’t want to deal with them.”

    Can’t blame a “ban” if there’s places that can and do legally do it.

    This is shitty doctors/hospitals blaming to the law to skirt around hard cases that they simply don’t want to deal with.

    But because the delays and discharges occurred in an area of the hospital classified as an emergency room, lawyers said that Texas law set a much higher burden of proof: “willful and wanton negligence.”

    Now this is a shame… This is what TX should be fixing. Malpractice shouldn’t need a higher standard in an ER

    All in all, I’m not sure how this is related to the abortion “ban” in any way shape or form. So why is it in the article/OP at all? Especially since in this case, it would have been covered regardless…

    Section 170A.002 prohibits a person from performing, inducing, or attempting an abortion. There is an exception for situations in which the life or health of the pregnant patient is at risk. In order for the exception to apply, three factors must be met: A licensed physician must perform the abortion.
    The patient must have a life-threatening condition and be at risk of death or “substantial impairment of a major bodily function” if the abortion is not performed. “Substantial impairment of a major bodily function” is not defined in this chapter.
    The physician must try to save the life of the fetus unless this would increase the risk of the pregnant patient’s death or impairment.



  • Some people believe the world is flat. That doesn’t make the statement true. They provided no clear example of how any of it could be doing what they claim it would do. So that random statement starting with “some democrats”… is meaningless.

    By changing the language from “all citizens”, it sets up opportunities to selectively disenfranchise those citizens who are able and registered to vote.

    No it doesn’t because the verbiage is “ONLY citizens” as the replacement. It’s still VERY clear that citizens are to vote. What it clears up is any argument that non-citizens should also be allowed to vote.



  • This article is referencing new bills that will disenfranchise legitimately registered voters

    Please quote where it says that. I see no such statement.

    What’s on the ballot?

    Republican-led legislatures in eight states have proposed constitutional amendments on their November ballots declaring that only citizens can vote.

    Proposals in Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wisconsin would replace existing constitutional provisions stating that “every” citizen or “all” citizens can vote with new wording saying “only” citizens can vote. Supporters contend the current wording does not necessarily bar noncitizens from voting.

    In Idaho and Kentucky, the proposed amendments would explicitly state: “No person who is not a citizen of the United States” can vote. Similar wording won approval from Louisiana voters two years ago.

    Voters in North Dakota, Colorado, Alabama, Florida and Ohio passed amendments between 2018 and 2022 restricting voting to “only” citizens.

    What about changing verbiage to be clear is “Disenfranchise”?






  • You have a better chance of getting a clear picture of Bigfoot than you do of having a voter fraud incident in your jurisdiction.

    Just because you don’t see it. doesn’t mean it’s not there. It would be entirely possible that there is no enforcement… and thus no records of those events happening.

    Just like “illegal” border crossings. Current numbers state “Nationwide Encounters” is the number that CBP publishes. That’s not the number of border crossings. That’s the number of people that law enforcement has encountered and handled. This clearly ignores those who weren’t “encountered” but still made it over. Part of that “encountered” number would be things like, “how many border guards do we have to actually ‘encounter’ these people?” If you fired 100% of the border guard force. Well your “Nationwide Encounters” stats would also drop to near 0. That doesn’t mean that there are no longer any border crossings.

    Poll workers collecting votes on voting day have no way to validate if your voter registration is not valid. It’s either you’re on the list or not. And in a lot of jurisdictions, simply getting a driver’s license is enough to get your name on that list, even if you aren’t allowed to vote otherwise.

    Let’s make some safe presumptions. There are at least some non-zero amount of people who vote illegally (ignore if they’re “illegal immigrants” or not, just in general). How is discarding their votes and pursuing those felony charges enforced? Is that effective? If the answer is “poll workers”, how are they supposed to know who on their registers are not supposed to be there in states that do auto-registration? There is discussion to have here without even bringing up a singular specific source of fraud like this article does.


  • I run a dedi server in my garage. Me and my kids still play it at least 2-3 times a week. Far from dead. People have just settled into their servers and the general hype train loons have moved on.

    Maybe, just maybe, players want more new ideas rather than live services.

    I’m not sure I understand why this statement is here. Palworld isn’t a live services game. This isn’t a “new idea”… this is how it’s been for most games since the dawn of gaming… You can play offline just fine. You can run a dedi host just fine. It’s a decent (not “great” but unique) genre of game that works great for my family. If it was live services it would no longer work for my family. I don’t let my children onto those types of games. They’re not old enough and for sure not mature enough.

    It still gets updates, and before I click my dedi server I see the lobbies… They all generally seem occupied. According to https://steamdb.info/app/1623730/charts/ there’s nearly 50k players playing right now… That’s not a small number and puts it in top 30 overall.






  • Agreed, I don’t blame the publishers for this. It’s clearly working on some amount of population that makes it worthwhile when they do the spreadsheets. The only beta game I’ve purchased recently lets you self-host servers and I was happy with the state it was in even if it was dropped and died all together. I refuse to purchase just about anything else that is still in “beta” or “early access”. I remember when “Beta” meant “download this game and play it… If you like it you can buy it next month”.

    It’s that population that actively makes games worse for all of us as publishers can choose to just be lazy. I was stupid happy when BG3 got the praise it got on launch. That’s what it used to be… that’s how it should be.


  • We get it, you’re a Trump supporter.

    LMFAO. Yeah sure. If you actually read my posts you’ll see that I want both parties to be better. Neither candidate is worth my vote. And I’ve never voted Trump.

    I’m glad you felt safe during his presidency, unfortunately an easy 45% of the American population (queer and minority groups) did not feel this way and were vilified by Trump and his supporters during his presidency

    I’m in a (several) minority group. Don’t speak for me.

    so that “assassination” attempt that definitely wasn’t staged

    Man… And you idiots call the right leaning groups conspiracy nuts. It’s impossible to have a discussion with any of you when you say really dumb shit like this. 1 person is dead. 2 are in hospital. You think that was staged? Killing people on live TV was staged?

    All the hatred and vitriol he created just poof wiped away because supposedly a leftist “shot a pellet” at him, which is an assassination attempt?

    A PERSON IS DEAD. THE “PELLET” KILLED 1 AND PUT 2 MORE IN HOSPITAL. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/politics/corey-comperatore-trump-shooting-victim/index.html

    Trump will kill more Palestinian’s in a year through his rhetoric

    Ah cause so many are making it through now right? Israel is doing so much worse because Biden or Trump is in office! Holy shit you’re something special.

    I have nothing I can positively say to you. You’re hook line and sinker for the cult of Biden. God forbid we acknowledge even basic facts like someone fucking died.

    Edit: Corrected a sentence… missed a couple of words.

    Edit2: Oh and to clarify, I’m not counting the shooter in the dead count. There’s really 2… But who gives a shit about someone who kills random civilians.
