Is there anything in the #Texas laws themselves that bans something like a D&C?

It's my observation that cases like these aren't necessarily because "don't treat miscarriages properly" is in the law, but it's because these laws are often vague and the doctors are trying not to brush up against the limits of the law. No doctor wants to go to jail and risk losing their livelihood.

But sooner or later we'll need some courageous doctors to try and treat women in these situations so that at the very least there are clearer legal precedents for these cases.

@freemo Of course those do not apply to all or even most people of any of those faiths. But if you have to ask which characteristics of each faith have done good and harm to the world as a whole, those would be my picks.

Now we need to add Buddhism (and Eastern enlightenment seeking in general) to this list.

@freemo 1: (Good) Tend to think things through from first principles. (Bad) Downright dogmatic in their rejection of any possible spiritual reality.
2: (Good) Developed human rights and modern civilization (Bad) Everyone else is going to hell, and that was used to rationalize bad actions.
3: (Good) Strong cultural immune system, charity is built into their faith (Bad) explicitly allowed to war against nonbelievers.
4: (Good) Respect for education and brains (Bad) Allowed to exploit outsiders.

Name one thing you like the most and hate the most about each of these cultures. Please be sure its respectful and compassionate criticism (though harsh is ok), but hate speech and slurs will be blocked on site.

1. Atheists
2. Christians
3. Muslims
4. Jews

Watching "Dr who the star beast".. they leaned a bit heavier into the woke side of things, but while a bit on the heavy side I liked it. Right until the end, the end they said something like "We have a power a male-presenting time-lord will never have... letting go". Got that was cringe, sexist, and ruined it.

I have to say its pretty nice being able to eat a five guys burger for dinner with bacon and literally be completely within the bounds of my diet and not needing to cheat at all.

I still wish it had a damn bun though!

My job isnt so bad. Afterall i could be the guy who has to put all those tiny rubber bands on the claws of lobsters.

I think I'm just starting to enter ketosis, I noticed my thirst levels just started to bottom out.

What is this witchcraft... ive eaten 2 meals, not super hungry, and somehow still have 900 calories left in my diet for the day (and thats not my break even point, thats my loose 2 lbs a week point).

What the hell is going on....

Does anyone know where I can find the **full** "Trump made god" video? It looks like gold to mock Trump and im entirely on board for the entertainment.

I do find it odd though its so hard to find the full video, especially considering how much attention it is getting. Usually this would make me suspect it is taken out of context to make it seem more absurd, but frankly, based on what I already saw I am not sure how that is possible. Still, would really like to see the original so I can judge it properly.

What is a transplant?

@freemo This is a retelling of The Learned Man's Paradox. The more that one learns, the more they know that they don't know.

If only he had the Mandelbrot Set. Patterns repeat... sometimes kinda. :/

What is a transplant?

I just watched a court video of someone represented pro se (he represents himself as a lawyer) and then he used attorney-client privilege when he was being questioned and the prosecutor goes "You are claiming attorney-client privilege... for yourself, with yourself" and he says "yes" lolol

A little illustration showing my take on einstein's quote. What we know we dont know is simply a small, ever growing line between what we know and what we don't know we know...,

@freemo For one, the beta and the non-beta store messages in different places IIUC, they are independent. Copying or restoring stuff around does not help. Signal desktop seems to be very fragile in that regard. It is also a security feature to not transfer old messages upon fresh pairing. All in all you're lucky if you can keep your message history and this is what I intend to so.

What people think getting investment and owning a company looks like:

Pay is huge
Everyone else does the work for you
Never need to work overtime

What it really looks like:

Working for free for the first year or two
You work 100 hour weeks, and need to work every day
Spend most of your time training and mentoring employees to give them marketable job skills (and giving them raises before you even get paid)
