Matthew Perry "died from acute effects of ketamine, other contributing factors" -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 15, 13:48 2
- oh, so sad. "Perry was on ketamine infusion therapy, with the most recent therapy 1 1/2 weeks before death, according to the autopsy report." -- nm* - Andie Dec 15, 14:03

So the plan by the Fed was to raise interest rates so they could drop them in an election year? - Mop🧹 Dec 15, 13:46 9
- I don't think that's it. They raised rates to reduce inflation. It stopped. If they keep rates high it runs the risk of a recession that is common - pmb Dec 15, 14:14
- Oil industry can always take a few refineries off line for maintenance and drive prices up to $5-6 bucks a gallon again, Thanks Biden -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 15, 13:50 2
  - domestic oil production under Biden has never pumped more in history -- (link) - hollywood big shot Dec 15, 14:10 1
    - It's not the pumping of crude. Brent, or bithumous shale sands, it's the refining capacity, and they keep that near max 24/7 -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 15, 18:54
- my Twitter bubble is actively rooting for Biden to lose, but normal people will not vote for 45 again. - Tim Dec 15, 13:50 3
  - usually the ones with "Anti-Zionism is not Anti-Semitism" in their bio, still mad that Pete Buttigieg dropped out before Super Tuesday or Bernie - hollywood big shot Dec 15, 14:02 1
    - my favorite subsection is a marginalized person (especially in the LGBT group) saying they're not gonna vote for Biden - Tim Dec 15, 14:10
  - Magats will vote, and they just need to 'depress' more than supress the progressive vote like they did against Hilary -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 15, 13:52
- Looks that way, yeah. -- nm - David Dec 15, 13:48
remember that massive sun spot a few days ago? today a huge solar flare disrupted communications .... NASA gif -- (link) - zeitgeist Dec 15, 13:39 [Image] 1

  - Punitive damages are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. He can't file and get off the hook for those. -- nm - pmb Dec 15, 13:41 5
    - He'll grift MAGAs out of it I'm sure -- nm - JaxSean Dec 15, 13:43 1
      - oh for sure. this locks him up as a maga filth grifter until the glorious day he is put into the ground. -- nm - Jovian Dec 15, 13:49
    - I guess I say they may not be dischargeable. It depends. -- nm - pmb Dec 15, 13:43

- runs to the nearest bankruptcy court to file Chap. 7 -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 15, 13:25 2
  - He can't afford to hire a lawyer to do so. was this a federal or state court, he might not have any assets in state so nothing to seize -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 15, 13:30 1
    - oh he has assets. presumably already taken steps to try and put them out of the reach of creditors -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 15, 13:32
While a longshot that I will unseat the #1 seed in Astro, so many game time decisions are coming (Yahoo updated status just now) -- (edited) - oblique Dec 15, 13:19

  - That is fortunate for you. I love tamales -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:36
  - Why are you dodging? -- nm - JD Dec 15, 12:36
- That sounds a bit kinky -- nm - eag Dec 15, 12:29 2
  - I was helping myself to some other lady's canteloupe when a woman pushed her peanut brittle on me. Make of that what you will. -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:34 1
    - 9 1/2 More Weeks. -- nm - B'nai B'ron Dec 15, 12:40
from NextDoor: This didn't end like I thought it would, and the "at least he was polite about it" seems....something - prayformojo 🐵 Dec 15, 12:17 8
- Heh. Really early into when I knew FH, she asked me to meet her at her best friend's house. She gave me an address, I drove over, knocked at a screen - JD Dec 15, 12:35 2

- you're right, that is odd -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:20
Today has really gotten away from me. -- nm - Dano Dec 15, 12:16 2

ugh: "Breaking news: Israeli troops mistakenly kill three (Israeli) hostages in Gaza" - prayformojo 🐵 Dec 15, 11:58 17
- Fog of War. PSA please don't post about "Breaking news" in a war. Your story will end up being wrong. -- nm - con_carne Dec 15, 12:19 2

- they're probably shooting at anything that moves -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 15, 12:11
- Maybe this will lead them to be more careful in their attacks. -- nm - Mop🧹 Dec 15, 12:01 11
  - They’re being very careful, on the whole. They’re not killing civilians by accident. They know exactly how many they're putting at risk in any given operation. -- (edited) - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Dec 15, 12:28 9
    - every word of your post applies more to Hamas than to IDF -- nm - mud Dec 15, 12:46

      - I’ve been doing a lot of thinking on this topic over the past couple months, and have generally kept my own counsel for obvious reasons. - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Dec 15, 12:58 6
        
        I appreciate that. These are complicated issues and require a lot of nuance in answers, which was kind of my point. I don't think any one sentence - pmb Dec 15, 13:00 5
        
        gee, thx -- nm - mud Dec 15, 13:04 4
        
        I'm a lawyer. I get very focused on details and nuance. -- nm - pmb Dec 15, 13:10 3
        
        I'm not a lawyer and I thought my "one sentence" was pretty darn swell. -- nm - mud Dec 15, 13:13 2
        
        You'll note the first sentence of my IM said the same thing. -- nm - pmb Dec 15, 13:16 1
