Seems that way, didn't mean to get so preachy, I'm *really* hungry lol

@freemo
I'm not opposed to that viewpoint. I specifically don't use terms like "defund the police" when I'm being political because of the baggage they carry. I don't think the State *never* needs to use violence, the State is built around the idea that it has a monopoly on violence after all. However, the police are the State's use of that violence against it's own citizens. It'll be near impossible to convince me they need the capability to do so much of it.

This is why I say we should start treating the DOD like Congress treats the USPS. Throw in the DOJ too. Without plea bargaining our entire justice system would completely collapse anyway, but yea let's make sure local PDs have fucking assault rifles and grenades.

Saw this somewhere else and thought it was interesting. It's a type of personality test that attempts to determine your style of thinking and assigns an archetype.

> [MindTime] is a scientifically validated theory that explains WHY people behave the way they do and as such MindTime provides powerful predictive insight into why we are the way we are.

@freemo Ohhh. 7... Is there a word for when you get tricked by the absence of a trick? Or is it just stupidity 😅

@freemo An exact answer is impossible, whether intuitively or topologically. You didn't show us the whole shirt...

@freemo Well, I can't fault you for forming opinions based on your own experiences. A little skepticism is never a bad thing either. Bias, to me, implies close-mindedness which I'm not getting from you.

@freemo I don't know, and I doubt our medical histories are the same so it's not an apples to apples comparison anway. I do generally agree regarding nurses providing better care. The last time I did actually have to go the ER the doctor spent about 5 minutes in the room to prescribe an antihistamine (to relax me, I wasn't having an allergic reaction, asshole could have at least given me a Valium) while the nurses and physician's assistant actually addressed the reason I was there...

@freemo I've had similar experiences. I've also had good experiences too though. There's a certain urgent care office near me that's run by a total moron. That doesn't negate the excellent care I've received from my regular doctor (when I can actually get an appointment outside of regular check ups). Roll of the dice, is it bad enough that I risk idiot urgent care or paying thousands at the ER? Or will I be able to see a doctor I trust?

@freemo I'm a little ambivalent on that. If I have a cold or flu, sure, I don't need a doctor to tell me so. And if you have a chronic illness or chronic pain then it's pretty much a roll of the dice unless you're wealthy. I think that speaks more to how much of a clusterfuck medical care is in the US just generally though, which is a whole other topic...

@freemo True, on the mental health side if someone has panic disorder there's no way they wouldn't know there's a problem. To your point, I guess it's the casualness with which people co-opt illness that really gets me.

@freemo LOL I was trying not to put it so bluntly, that is more or less how I'm seeing it right now.

The comparison I was thinking of when I stated my bias is the people who complain about their self-diagnosed anxiety or ADHD. To me it's completely disrespectful and delegitimizes the sometimes serious and debilitating effects of mental illness.

Serious question: Can someone explain the difference between gluten sensitivity and Celiac disease? I don't know that I'm thinking about it the right way.

My bias: It's really annoying to me when people co-opt the actual diagnosed illnesses of others on social media.

I can't get a straight answer on this even in medial research. Some doctors say gluten is often not even the issue with their patients. Avoiding wheat forces them to consume fewer carbs in general which results in feeling better.

@realcaseyrollins
It depends on how the ramen is prepared. You can use miso broth, bone broth, etc. The noodles are usually wheat based but the cheap packets we buy in the US often have dehydrated soy sauce in the flavoring.

@lucifargundam
On the other hand, sometimes it's fun to see people who predicate their reality on rejecting contrary evidence try to bob and weave. This thread in particular had some good non-sequiters, but the insults were pretty standard.
@freemo

@freemo You know Facebook is bad when a lefty pro-choice weirdo like me thinks they're worse than Gab...

@sidekick
To address your question about jury instruction, yes that could be reason for a mistrial. If the prosecution makes that claim the judge can reject it. Then the prosecution can appeal that individual decision on that individual matter. It sounds like they already made a similar claim before and the judge didn't do anything with it, just put it in his drawer to rot, which means there's no decision to appeal.
@freemo

@freemo
I'm not seeing anything special that would allow the prosecution to appeal the verdict. They can appeal judgments as well as the sentence, but cannot retry someone on a whim. The statute specifically says

> if the appeal would not be prohibited by constitutional protections against double jeopardy
@sidekick

@sidekick
The prosecution can appeal individual decision made by the judge while the trial is ongoing, however the time for that has passed.
