Activists accused of being part of antifa face harsh sentences in case seen as test of Trumpās crackdown on dissent
What the actual fuck.
The ninth defendant, Daniel Sanchez-Estrada was not at the protest, but was convicted of corruptly concealing a document or record after prosecutors said he moved leftwing zines and other materials at the request of Rueda, his wife, after she was arrested. Sanchez-Estrada was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Tuesday.
Every single one of these sentences is just ridiculous.

Activists accused of being part of antifa face harsh sentences in case seen as test of Trumpās crackdown on dissent

So this is not a plea for money. This is something that surprised me, and chatting with people on discord, they were unaware of as well.
Discovered last year I couldnāt look at my 2015 MacBook Air without it triggering nausea and migraines, and figured the screen died. Have been getting by on my phone, but concluded I really need a laptop again.
Saved up, realised I could afford a brand new MacBook Neo, and got one.
-And I couldnāt spend more than five minutes looking at the screen without massive eye strain, nausea, vertigo, and if I pushed it, I-need-to-lie-down-in-a-dark-room-for-hours migraines.
Looking up MacBook and Eyestrain explained what is going on. The liquid retina displays that Apple currently has uses Pulse Width Modulation or PWM. In order to give the screens a deeper depth of colour and contrast, PWM flickers between several hundred to thousand times a second.
And there is currently no way to turn it off. There are settings and apps to reduce it, but there is no way to stop the screen from flickering. Checked Apple forums, called Apple Support, and the time I could look at the screen kept shrinking. Got the laptop Tuesday, returned it Friday, today is Sunday and Iām still dealing with a vertigo migraine.
For MacBooks, it seems to vary on the computer model and the software it uses. In retrospect, the issue with my MacBook Air started after a major software update.
And itās not just an Apple thing. Current Windows and Android screens do the same thing. Thereās even a Reddit for people who are sensitive to PWM flickers to help find computers and screens that wonāt trigger eyestrain and headaches.
So, yeah. This week has been a learning experience. But for those who are prone to headaches and migraines, this may be something to be aware of, cause I was not.

You can go back in time to visit one (1) historical person, and gift them one (1) animal as a pet. You don't concern yourself with whether or not it would be ethical to keep this animal as a pet, or how would they keep it at all, but the one requirement you have is that this animal does not naturally occur on their native continent. What are you giving, and to whom?
I think it would be hilarious to give one of these buggers to Sun Tzu. You now own a giant pinecone possessed with intelligence. The fuck are you going to do with that thing.
A lot of the time when I point out that some right-wing policy is proven to not achieve the thing it purports to have as a goal, people rightly point out that the real goal is the negative outcomes that do happen.
Which is correct!
But this is often framed as me approaching the right wing naively by the respondent.
That's not the case at all. I know they're evil. The goal is to demonstrate that they're lying by exposing the way the rhetoric fails to line up with reality.
This has to be ongoing work because someone new has their political awakening every day. Every day, someone needs to learn that the right wing position is wrong on all levels, not just the obvious ones.
there will be people out there who still think the war on drugs (as the absolute first thing that comes to mind) is a legitimate social cause against an antisocial blight on society. if you come out the gate with (the very true statement) that it's actually been a deliberate campaign to target minorities and other undesirable groups to the ruling class, you're going to sound like a clueless conspiracy nut
whereas if you come with a very defensible, statistically supported point of "it doesn't work and has never worked" you can open the door to the follow up question of "why did the government do it in the first place, and (in many cases) why are they still doing it?"

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid š" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times
"Before surgery, your bodyās reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If thereās food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. Thatās called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you
I have four kids. Iāve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.
This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldnāt feed them before those instances.
Iām not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.
i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.
every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.
not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.
"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!
I got covid way back in the first wave, before the vaccines were available, and sometimes people are like "did you suffer any permanent damage?" and technically the answer is 'yes' but I have to say 'no' because if they were like "oh, no, what happened?" then I would have to admit that I get really phlegmy and cough a lot now after eating warm or spicy food. That's it that's the difference. Obviously I'm grateful that I didn't get any of the really horrible symptoms but what a ridiculous one. Could've let me recover fully, but no... hot food makes goo now. Okay.
For me it was triggered by covid but it seems like the kind of mild immune issue that might be triggered by all kinds of things, so far as I know. Some people have suggested that it might be a form of mild asthma, which sounds plausible though I have no idea if they're correct or not. There's no shortage of stimuli that can make your body just decide to make a Permanent Enemy of some random environmental factor.
the entire Enterprise era is so funny. Itās like āwe did it we solved all of earthās problems. Everyone is chilling now. This fucking rocks. Anyways. I think we should have more problems. Letās go out and find more problems.ā And then two seasons later they found so many problems that one of the problems blew up Florida

Thinking about that Tumblr user whose prepper brother was put in an emergency situation and finally got to use his prepper basement only to be in dire straits on the first day because the power was out and his only can opener was electric
for anyone wondering, this is the thread (transcript below the cut):
the original on twitter seems to have been deleted, so this is a 3rd party site
so my eldest brother, who is a moron, has been playing soldier with his moron friends in the deserts of texas for the last year preparing for the collapse of civilization if biden won (lol). they were burying food and ammo stashes out in the desert, running drills, crazy stuff
this included getting a cb license so he could be their lifeline to other groups of white idiots when the cell towers all went offline. wouldnāt want to violate federal law while communicating with your resistance groups after the fall of the federal government i guess.
anyways, you would assume given that theyāve been prepping for the end of the world for at least a year theyāre well situated to ride out the rolling blackouts right?
wellll
their plan for cooking and heating during an extended power outage was natural gas, but like a lot of homes their gas service is out. the food in their freezer and fridge is already toast due to the power outrages, so theyāre down to canned stuff, but thereās a catch.
they can get into the pull top cans just fine, but the ones that require an opener? their only can opener is electric. so a good 3/4 of his canned food store is inaccessible to him unless he goes after it with a knife, which i sincerely hope he does.
so captain survival was eating unheated ravioli out of a can yesterday because i guess he doesnāt know how to start a fire? they have a fire pit but it too is gas fired.
he told my mom theyāre probably going to break into the survival buckets soon. iām sure thatās great food.
he told my mom that the blackout is due to texas switching everything to āwind powerā but that he didnāt discount that the government was doing this on purpose. if you can figure out why theyād arbitrarily freeze out a giant state hey points to you.
the saving grace in all this is heās having to ration his phone usage so he canāt sit on the phone with my mom for hours crying about it. heās forced to sit there and talk to his wife, who is almost as dumb as he is.
presumably heās sitting there shivering, ranting about libs while he sucks down cold beefaroni. what a life.
heās tried contacting his best friend in his little larping group, but heās gone to ground. i sincerely hope that means he thinks this is the start of the great purge or whatever and heās disappeared to the mountains to evade fema and child support bailiffs
iām trying to get more details from my mom but i have to play it cool. if i laugh sheāll stop telling me about it, so i have to pretend this is very serious and iām concerned for his safety while iām imagining him hitting a can of baked beans with a screwdriver repeatedly
on the plus side theyāve got plenty of guns and ammo, so they can shoot the shit out of the snow.
locking two people with marital strife in a house with no supplies, no access to power, but plenty of access to guns and ammo seems like a great idea. i think this should work out great.
just to give you all some additional comfort: his wife is part of the group who helps select the textbooks texas buys every year, just in case youāre wondering about the kind of people that make those decisions.
But it's not even hard to open a tin without one! You need something pointy and strong to use as a chisel, like a scissor blade or a screwdriver. Place the point on the tin lid near the edge, and hit the back of your chisel with something heavy (a hammer, a rock, another tin). Once you get a hole in, wiggle the chisel to widen it. Repeat until the lid is off.
