He’s not running though? This is him changing his personal party choice for voting.

I have a couple of concerns with this.

The first being if some states are going to try to use this against any kids charged with being child sex offenders, like several states have done with teenagers who have sex with each other (or have nude pictures of each other).

An additional concern is obviously conservatives trying to use this against trans people and drag queens, whom they are already trying to define as sex offenders just for existing in public.

Another concern or just question is…is this meant to be a deterrent? And is it even effective in that? For a lot of child sex offenders, a major component of the pleasure derived is from having power over the child in question. Removing their genitals wouldn’t necessarily change that? It’s possible it may even have them turn more to violence toward children as their outlet.

I’m just wondering on the effectiveness of this method. Is there any evidence at all or is this being done on an emotional whim?

Do you mean the ICC or the ICJ? The ICJ is a part of the UN, so yes, the US is connected to that decision.

But the ICC is an independent organization connected to a separate treaty called the Rome Statute. The US is one of a small number of (usually terrible) countries that haven’t signed it.

Why would any of these be mentioned in practically any class outside of some law and education courses?

This is the nuclear speech all over again.

The shipment stopping prior was only for that one set of bombs. Not all weapons aid entirely.

pats your head It’s okay, I know reading comprehension is difficult for some people.

I knew about that, but that action was taken a couple of days ago before the Rafah attack started. I remember the news articles about it then. Hopefully the above indicates this stoppage will be true for any and all weapons shipments, not just those bombs.

So, since they’re attacking Rafah right now, that means you’re going to stop giving them weapons right now, right? Right?

I mean, it’s better than them using land lines like they used to. And, if they did it properly, then their calls should have caller ID saying it’s the polling service. Also, they should leave a message to get called back.

I don’t know if they did any of that, but it would be the right way to do it.

Did you have a point? That’s a standard sample size for polls.

according to a 10-page report recently released by the staff of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee’s Democratic majority

Unfortunately, I’m not sure if a report from this group is going to result in anything. We need something with more teeth.

Is the judicial branch allowed to order the release of classified materials?

This is why conservatives should stop stoking rage politics. Because it puts them in a position where they can’t immediately tell which side is trying to kill them. Because it could be anyone for a plethora of potential reasons.

Except this is about the primary. How is not voting for him in the primary matter? Honestly, the fact that the Democrat party in places like Florida just got rid of the primary so none of the challengers could be voted for is…dumb to me.

I might hate most of the other people running, since they’re largely anti-vaccine pseudoscience conspiracy types, but people should still be allowed to vote in the primary.

I just went and checked some studies on the matter. 70% of fertilized eggs fail to go to further embryonic stages and 85% of those are because of uterine wall implantation complications. So, the answer is right in between us, it’s 60%.

Probably even higher, closer to 70%, of the time.

It’s massively important in the sciences, both for computing purposes and theoretical design and investigation purposes.

AI is completely revolutionizing genetics research and subjects like biochemistry and pharmacology, because it’s able to extrapolate from already identified genes and compounds and find new ones or identify the purposes of genes just from their sequence structure.

It’s made processes that would take weeks or months just to identify a single new component to something that takes days or hours.

I seem to remember Facebook actively taking down videos critical of Trump back in 2016 and 2020. Hmm…

And somehow none of us are surprised in the slightest.
