The secret service officers protecting Kennedy were up all night drinking grain alcohol the night before he was assassinated.

If it’s lethal at high doses it’s not good for you, period.

The point I’m making is this statement you made applies to literally everything you can possibly consume. There’s nothing that’s not lethal or otherwise detrimental to life at a high enough dose.

You’re also using the appeal to nature fallacy when you say “if it’s not natural, it’s not good.” There are plenty of chemicals which are good, even lifesaving, that do not exist in nature.

If its not natural, its not good.

Made of 100% real logical fallacy.

If it’s lethal at high doses its not good for you, period.

This just in: water and oxygen are not good for you.

I just think this is a stretch from an article that says they may deploy the military at once place on the southern border. I don’t think this article discusses something that is going to give the US a taste of their own medicine; nor do I think the military will start violating habeas corpus willy nilly across the country. Nor do I think they’re going to be conducting airstrikes and launching tomahawks at peoples houses. That’s military havoc.

Maybe an unfortunate lost hiker who happens to stumble into that specific area on the border gets detained, but this potential deployment will not even be seen by an overwhelming majority of people in the US.

The police and ICE are much more relevant threats to any random person in the US, but they’re not military. The military isn’t going to start doing those things in your last paragraph, they’ve got other agencies for that, and they’re already doing what you’re talking about.

How is this going to affect US citizens, are they illegally crossing the border?

When the worst person you know makes a good point. There’s no reason to prohibit direct car sales to consumers except lobbying by car dealerships. Still, fuck Elon, he’s much worse than a car salesman.

Imagine if George Soros was the head of said organization. They would be absolutely losing their minds.

Prosecute for what, exactly?

Battleshits.

Mass murderer?

That doesn’t sound like an abuse of checks and balances to me, to be honest. This is exactly how the system is designed. They still need a majority to pass anything.

Flip the script for a moment; imagine we had ultra right wing judges who make insane judgements. Is it not the whole point of checks and balances for the legislative and executive branches to be able to exert some control over the judiciary branch provided they have an appropriate majority?

I don’t agree with Johnson, he’s a cunt, but this doesn’t seem like abuse per se, rather exactly how the system was designed. I’m not worried about it because they don’t have the votes.

I’ve seen some videos of people punching through windows and instantly cutting an artery, wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happened here.

You don’t even need a complicated MITM attack like that. The data is for sale by the telecoms.

It’s just like kayfabe in professional wrasslin’.

Did you read the link? Because they aren’t “huge supporters”. They’re near evenly split - 50% republicans, 47% democrat.

I thought it was going to be much worse than this but it’s a pretty close split.

we always end up elevating the ones that show great technical skills into management

I wish that was more often the case. I’ve never seen this once in my life.

As a counterpoint, I’d point to Boeing. They used to have engineers as management in their glory days, then once the business leaders of McDonnell Douglas took over, everything began to go downhill.

Not that I think what you’re saying is fundamentally wrong - they are indeed different skill sets - I’ve just not seen someone who’s great at their technical job get promoted to leadership. It’s usually social skills that get people promoted, in my experience. The people with great technical skills end up staying as worker bees, as they don’t want to deal with people, and get end up exploited by the ones with social skills.

Destroying the economy also allows them to write bills to give trillions to companies “too big to fail” just like the automaker bailouts, bank bailouts, and PPP loans.

Economic conservatives my ass.

Your vision is always a singular dot in space, unless you have amblyopia or something else causing your eyes to point in different directions. Even if you’re looking at a featureless line, your eyes are fixed on a single point in space. It’s not like one eye is looking somewhere different from the other eye. The triangle still exists.

There is no difference to stereo vision depth perception regardless of how the view points are oriented in the X and Y axis. The practical proof for this is in rangefinders; neither simple consumer stereo rangefinders nor complicated military stereo rangefinders, such as those found on battleships or antiaircraft guns, are oriented in the Y axis to gain some advantage. There’s no need. The triangle is the same regardless of X-Y orientation.

I see what you’re saying about the example of two completely featureless lines oriented exactly along the X axis in a completely featureless space, as this wouldn’t work with a coincidence rangefinder, but this is an edge case and not something you’d encounter in real life. You’d also have other cues for depth perception beyond just stereopsis.

Huh? That doesn’t make sense. Depth perception is in the Z (depth) axis. It’s neither in the X (horizontal) or Y (vertical) axis. You get the exact same stereo vision depth perception regardless of the orientation of your eyes.

Imagine a triangle with your eyes and the subject at a distance as the points. This triangle can be rotated around the long axis without changing anything. Tilting your head does nothing for visual depth perception.
