doctorcrimson,

You break an addiction the same way you do literally anything else. Purpose in life, work ethic, and dedication to pursue your goals.

doctorcrimson,

Coal is actually split into four types

  • Lignite
  • Subbituminous
  • Bituminous
  • Anthracite

And there is also Graphite which is technically different from coal.

doctorcrimson,

Can you imagine if a Biden fanboy made a post about how manly and beach ready he is? No, because only a deranged person would say that about any 70+ yo politician.

Trump cultists were literally expending every braincell on fantasy fueled denial.

doctorcrimson,

Meh, I’m pretty close to my ideal inner self. My abs are uneven but aside from that I’m gorgeous.

doctorcrimson,

Fun fact, out of 168 wars fought in over the last several thousand years in which they were included, France has won 109, lost 49, and drawn 10.

doctorcrimson,

Wait, what? Where do people in Montana think they live? The south?

doctorcrimson,

I would consider the Rockies as their own distinct cultural and geographical region, tbh. Most of Montana that I’ve ever seen wasn’t in the mountains but that could just be a matter of perspective.

doctorcrimson,

You guys should see some of the water physics modders put in Skyrim. They’ve even got some crazy rainstorms.

That’s the short form equation that ignores environmental pressure, the long form has a separate term that accounts for shelter and sentience as a factor between 0 and 1, as well as a quotient for empathy with a numerator of associate happiness.

Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs. (sh.itjust.works)

Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.

doctorcrimson,

Feels like an egregious misuse of the word “gouging” but I understand the sentiment.

doctorcrimson,

The term is generally reserved for, especially in legal cases, goods that are required to maintain a minimum quality of life but are in finite supply. If you were to suddenly increase the price of food, water, or communication technology during a widespread emergency, you would be committing a very clear case of Price Gouging and in most places found in violation of the law.

However, Disney+ Streaming service is the epitome of a good that is NOT necessary to live. It’s a minor luxury with no positive impact on the consumer.

doctorcrimson,

Maybe if 30% of the population weren’t trying to re-elect one of those people for president it would be easier.

doctorcrimson,

If we just elect union organizers and environmental activists to government, along with overrepresentation for minorities and a good balanced list of represented groups total, then there won’t be a problem will there?

doctorcrimson, (edited )

Won’t anybody think of the figuratively poor polluting corporations?!

I remember one party passed HR 1 For the People Act through congress for it to die in the senate controlled by the other, but keep talking about how both sides don’t want campaign finance reform.

doctorcrimson,

LMAO imagine being an apologist for pedophilia and human trafficking and then judging others.

Tara Reade’s story is purely hearsay, and she didn’t come forward until Biden was running for president 26 years later. Everyone who worked in that office at that time said it would be totally out of character and they’ve never heard anything like it.

All that stuff about Obama is whataboutism and honestly the man looks like a saint compared to Trump and Bush.

doctorcrimson,

My point is very clear, if people want Epstein’s list of associates and people who paid him to see justice, then they need to vote accordingly, and definitely NOT for the guy who was good friends with Epstein and visited his island many times.

doctorcrimson,

Cope

doctorcrimson,

First of all, if a hearing is held in congress and not by the DOJ, then you’re absolutely expecting too much to think anything will be done for justice of past crimes. I don’t think the Senate or House can do anything on this topic other than keep the government funded. Historically, Congress has never shown the capacity to prosecute outside of changing how laws are enforced, which is moot because everything Epstein did is already illegal.

Second, I assure you there are active investigations to many of the names in the list, but not much incriminating evidence was found for the more than a thousand people he had some form of contact with over the last couple of years due to their discreet methods of conducting business. A lot of relevant court documents only recently became unsealed since trials started in 2016. Many new contacts were revealed at the end of the Virgin Islands Civil Lawsuit as well. Ghislaine Maxwell got 20 years, Sarah Kellen could be next as Federal Judges have expressed interest in charging her as early as the conclusion of the Maxwell trials in January 2022, JP Morgan have spent 13.8 Million USD on legal fees in the case and will pay 290 Million in reparations for facilitating the financial side of Epstein’s business, Deutsche Bank will pay 75 Million, etc. To claim that nothing has happened and nothing is being done is ignorance.

As much as some people would love to blame and execute Bill Clinton, for example, all he ever did was borrow the man’s plan on a trip to various charity medical sites across Africa that Epstein was unrelated to. So then where do you draw the line? Epstein made it his business to go to parties and shake hands with the influential. He disguised himself as a wealthy venture capitalist for over 2 decades before being outed as a trafficker.

In fact, almost half of Maxwell’s charges were dropped because there wasn’t enough concrete evidence and some of the charges overlapped with a previous conviction where they were granted immunity in a plea deal for state level charges. That’s how hard it is to get a conviction for a crime with only witness testimony. It’s like pulling nails. But it can be done.

doctorcrimson,

Whose apologizing for what, I explained to you the thing that you want to happen is happening. Under Democrat leadership. You were just flat out wrong.

doctorcrimson,

Lmao

I can’t imagine wishing away such a thing so you can pretend you won an argument.

doctorcrimson, (edited )

Listen, I can say that any number of past employers raped me, but why does that alone constitute evidence? Tara Reade has plenty enough to gain from lying, and nobody who worked there corroborates the claim. They even called it absurd.

doctorcrimson,

Present it. She literally published a book and accepted paid speaking events. Accusing Biden pays all of her bills. Last I heard the only people who were willing to side with Reade was her mother and her neighbor. If there were a sexual harassments claim in a government office then there are normally large paper trails and documented statements involved.

doctorcrimson,

Oh no he touched their shoulders. Clearly that justifies you comparing him to a literal rapist. /s

doctorcrimson,

TBH if you don’t restart then it’s going to take an hour before it lets you log in the next time you boot up. Just keep it going on Hibernate until you’re ready to let it update.
