Any kind of forced or mandated treatment for drug/alcohol users by law is wrong and punishing people for refusing treatment is also wrong.

USAID would be the agency for responding to this but they were one of DOGEs targets back in early/mid March so…
I disagree with a number of your points but I’m actually more disappointed you you took all the time to write all that out and didn’t bother to take a second to call out the poor trigger discipline shown in the picture.
Anything in the mockumentary genre because that’s kind of the point. My personal favorite is a film called Kenny from 2006.
It takes a certain kind of person to do what I do. No-one's ever impressed; no-one's ever fascinated. If you're a fireman, all the kids will want to jump on the back of the truck and follow you to a fire. There's going to be no kids willing to do that with me. So, I don't do it to impress people - it's a job, it's my trade, and I actually think I'm pretty good at it.
As someone who works in tech I’d agree with you. AI is a tool for humans to use that can help make tasks easier and lighten workload but it won’t replace them.
Unfortunately there’s a lot of criminal justice jobs that only require a two year technical degree. Depending on location and school it’s likely that it was “check the boxes” kind of program for a field that is understaffed.
He's not, but he does because he's using a loophole that involves the IEEPA. There's an awful lot of ranting and raving on Lemmy and everywhere else about how 47 is ignoring the Constitution and not following the rules of our democracy. Right now Republicans, the party in power, has the ability to take back control, close the "loophole" being used and shut this tariff bullshit down but they're not doing it. He used the IEEPA for similar actions during his last term as well and has been calling for tariffs since long before he ran the first time, seems like nobody bothered to pay attention. Even if 47 and his administration were magically gone today the US is still in trouble, the democracy is broken, has been for some time, and it seems like folks are just starting to wake up to it. It's unfortunate that it's happening this way but maybe this is the wakeup call the US people needed.
The immediate problem is the current president and their administration but the long term problem is deeper, spans the Republican and the Democratic parties, the courts up to SCOTUS and is peppered through the executive, legislative and judicial branches. It won't be fixed in my lifetime but I hope, for the younger generations and those coming behind, that fundamental change begins in a new direction.
I suppose it could work if the world worked like a baby playing peek-a-boo. Except there's a few obvious problems like the fact that the civil judgment would remain even after a pardon for murder and the fact that a criminal charge of murder or conspiracy to commit would likely be brought against individuals, not the corporation.
I think you don’t understand how the Presidential pardon works in the United States. I’m tired of the doomerism and negativity I’m seeing all over Lemmy that seems to be detached from reality.
If 47 somehow manages to start pardoning civil offenses feel free to come back and gloat. Although I’m not sure why you’re so keen on it happening.
Until then, this is a win for Louisiana and the land along the Gulf and I’m going to celebrate it. There’s too little of news like this lately
By the way, that’s the Gulf of Mexico I’m referring to.
It’s a civil case.
Or spectrum of light other than white? I like to use red light at night inside of our house instead of white because I’ve read it’s more relaxing and helps promote better sleep.

Bingo. This was my take before I met my wife and early in our relationship. When it came time to talk about the future and we discussed marriage I asked what she wanted. For my part, I told her that I didn’t need a piece of paper from the government or a magic ceremony to commit myself to her fully.
She wanted a wedding and marriage and I wanted to give that to her. It was immediate family only, at home, with a retired judge performing a ceremony we wrote.
From a legal perspective it can be immensely more complicated long term and will almost certainly be financially more disadvantageous within the US system if you’re American to not be married.
