Also while all of this is true, China has also started importing again, so what was keeping apocalypse at bay, is possibly about to end.

We don’t actually have laws that completely apply here, so this is essentially a test balloon / attempt to set precedent. The guy was specifically targeted by CPB due to his past protest of a thing called cop city in Atlanta, he was added to a watchlist with no notification to him, and CPB told him this was a routine secondary screening and that they wanted to search his phone for “child pornography”. Certainly would be better to have a burner or pre-wiped phone but basically I think he was caught unaware coming back from an unrelated trip.

In any case majority of Americans do not expect to have to offer up their digital systems freely outside of warrant-compulsion, which was not in play here.

That said there’s a lot of twisted loopholes they’re trying to use lately like this, so unfortunately even if it’s not the law they may be able to make it the law via this kind of precedent setting.

They really nailed the huge suit blowing in the wind look on his body double.

What is this sorcery! And what happens when it finishes counting do——nnnnnnnnh!

There’s still time for this to be realized

I mean Joel Osteen is also a probably a demon. I wonder if prosperity gospel just leaches out your life force the longer you do it.

It is so fucking AI phrased, you can feel the slop dripping off it. What an incredible joke, which might be funny, if it wasn’t also killing loads of innocent people.

I think he’s talking about Kenneth Copeland, who talks about demons all the time, but is, himself, a demon:

Hahaha LLMS are so helpful. Yeah whatever I read was definitely a long time back, so entirely possible I misremembered some details. I thought I remembered that the hospital staff didnt want to kill the monkeys themselves, religion or protected status maybe, so having the other monkey chase them off was preferable. Also langurs have some amazing faces.

I remember reading an article about hospitals in India having a real issue with monkeys. They would run wild in the hospitals and steal stuff. One of the solutions they found was to bring in a larger primate called a langur, real nasty piece of work that likes killing smaller monkeys and is territorial and set it up in the hospital with food and treats to its hearts desire, and the langur would chase all the other monkeys out. So basically larger monkey security guard.

Precisely.

Was gonna say, if this were true, would raise Massies profile, not lower it. Repub sickos have been thirsting after these two for years anyway, would this scenario realize one of their deep pathological fantasies?

Kliban stays relevant. Need to digitize all my faves.

Older siblings of controlling parents LOL. But yeah agreed.

Hahaha was going to say similar. If there’s a gen that gets shit on for “failing” its Gen X the “slacker” gen, and the fact that we jump straight from boomer to millennial sorta highlights that. No shade on the Gen X’s. Anything people say a generation failed at is not realistically that cohorts fault, just like millennials spanning the end of growth, 9/11 forever wars and multiple financial debacles isn’t our fault.

Also everything is still being run by boomers, so it’s still their fault and until they die off it’ll stay that way. I guess some of the evil billionaires are technically Gen X, but whatever. The country aint being run my millennials yet.

Yeah, he seemed like a genuinely good human, and I always enjoyed watching him in whatever he was in. o7 Sam, and RIP.

Hehe. “Chat, is Mitch alive or am I capping?”

Yeah like fitness goths. You can be undead, plus maybe tweak flow rate to optimize oxygen delivery or something.

Oh yeah.
