Just under 550 miles. Google maps clocks it at just under 8 hours, but we also stopped three times for gas, twice for food, and a few extra times for bathrooms. And I didn't really speed. The family member who lives up there claims she can do it in 8 hours by barely stopping and speeding lol.
This. Their goal isn't logical consistency. It's to confuse every individual issue to such a degree that there will be conflicting court cases, at which point the supreme Court can step in and rule in the least democratic judgement possible.
I'm not sure why they get to set the standard for what people need to conform to, but somehow never have to make any compromises of their own.
From Putin's perspective, it's great. It's not like they're needed for their votes, and one of the key indicators of revolution is unemployed young men.
Since that's mostly who dies in endless war, endless war is a great technique for dictators to maintain control long term.
Here comes North Korea 2.0
I'm Unitarian. My pastor gave a speech to new members that there's "freedom of the pulpit, and freedom of the pew." Meaning you can disagree with the speaker or whatever they're saying.
Maybe this experience will teach him that he doesn't have to bend to authority without question. Probably not, but maybe.
There have been studies that indicate that people who are not exposed to varieties of people constantly tend to not recognize faces and/or facial expressions on other races.
There are also studies that indicate that white patients are more likely to be prescribed painkillers when they're in pain, whereas black patients are more likely to be thought of as exaggerating.
I've had instances where I, as a white person, got immediate access to great medications. My black coworker, same illness around the same time, was told to take Sudafed and other OTCs.
The numbers also don't lie. Maternity mortality is higher for non-white patients. Surgical outcomes tend to be poorer. Follow care tends to be less stringent. It's across the board.
On one hand, there are some systemic things that can explain this. Drug interactions are kind of presumed to be identical for all races when you control for race, but that may not be the case - we may just be averaging out to a measure that is no longer useful. So biological differences, ability of the doctor to identify pain/issues, willingness to believe the patient, and all sorts of other things play in just as much if not more than overt racism.
I think you're right if the goal is to stop them all together.
But what we can do is stop people from sending them around and saying that it's true/actually the person.
Once they've turned it from a art project into a weapon, it should have similar consequences to "revenge porn."
It looks like red sharpie from the thumbnail, but when I looked at the full picture it's pretty clearly red splotches along the side of his index finger too, and that part does not look at all like sharpie.
