Care to cite any examples in the US of prosecutions or civil cases that weren’t immediately tossed within the last 30 years? This was once a problem. Good Samaritan Laws were passed to fix it, probably before you were even born. You’re just making stuff up.

Lot of people get CPR when in reality they’re dehydrated, ODing, or something similar

If you don’t have Narcan on hand, and they’re not breathing, rescue breathing might keep them alive until the EMTs come. If they don’t have a heartbeat, chest compressions might keep them alive until the EMTs come. CPR’s rate of success isn’t great in most circumstances, but it’s much better than nothing. No pulse, no breathing, their chance of death by the time EMTs arrive is essentially 100% without CPR.

The only actual high speed portion of Acela is in MA, and the time savings from Boston to NYC is a bit more substantial, accordingly.

I managed to snag a $70 round trip ticket from DC to Boston, months in advance, during 2021. Only time I’ll probably ever justify taking it. As a nerd that likes trains, it was fun.

He’s allowed to campaign from prison if convicted, too. Eugene Debs did it, after all. Logistically, I’m not sure how it’d work with a former president. If he’s ever locked up, it’s going to have to be in a supermax, for his own safety. The Unabomber’s old cell in ADX Florence will be the perfect fit for the needs of a former president and fellow Ivy League graduate! But at any rate, there’s no law stopping him from campaigning by mail.

Obama did an extrajudicial killing by drone of Anwar al-Awlaki, a US citizen who was (allegedly) an Islamist stochastic terrorist. Obama also murdered his 16 year old son as collateral damage in the assassination of al-Awlaki by drone. Seems to me there’s laws on the books banning stochastic terrorism if you’re a Muslim. Also if you’re black, see the MOVE bombing and Fred Hampton.

Stochastic terrorism is only legal if you’re a white supremacist or a neo-Nazi.

Just look at Quora, you have your target nationality wrong. It’ll be flooded by Indian gold farmers. The vast majority of Chinese people don’t speak English. China has a parallel, disjoint internet to ours. India has the second-largest English speaking population in the world, due to British imperialism, and no Great Firewall.

It blows my mind that this is both spez and Elmo’s best idea for what to do with their respective hellsites: what if we made a shittier Quora? Because Quora’s such an enviable business, right guys? Quora’s right up there with Apple and Microsoft!

The Metaverse pivot by Zuck was only marginally less stupid. This is why HBO had to cancel Silicon Valley, the show: you can’t parody Sillycon Valley anymore. ByteDance and WeChat are going to devour these clowns alive, now that the money printer stopped going brrr. They never had any plan to ever be profitable. Their business model was just to continue scamming investors with fake users and keep raising more billions, like the Pied Piper bot users. These are zombie companies, propped up by negative real interest rates for a decade. Let them die already.

I pay my taxes and you should, too. I have no sympathy in general for people not reporting income from PayPal etc, but I’m struggling to think of a less sympathetic subgroup of tax frauds than ticket scalpers. They’re not getting special treatment here, it’s any 1099 income via the payment apps, but I really wish that wasn’t the case. These crooks should be taxed out of business.

When dealing with unhinged users, white lies are often helpful…
