To be considered a threat under 18 U.S.C. § 871, the statement must meet certain criteria:

Subjective Component: Was the threat made with some degree of intent, seriousness, or purpose?
Uncle Iroh
I know he’s a genocidal war criminal, but he lost his son and traveled a long path of tea and paisho eventually cherishing and mentoring his nephew.
Uncle Ruckus
He’s a simple man, tryin’ to make his way in the world. Life’s dealt him a tough hand, but he played it the best he could. He worked hard, respected the values he was raised with, and tries to bring a bit of order to this chaotic world. He ma be rough around the edges and may not make words so good, but he believes in tough love and speaking his mind.
Man… I remember having fond memories of it. Plus, sort of a Christmas flick. So come winter break, I turn it on for my eight year old. I get to cooking dinner and about 45 minutes in, he’s shaking from it. He slept in our room for the first time in years that night. And the next night. And the next.
Literally just told his mom he’s still scared of gremlins. This will be one of the parenting regrets.
The quote is not in the link you provided. Where did you get that quote?
The difficulty of adding orange food coloring to cornstarch is an insurmountable chemical process.
Senate Bill 43 was pass last year that allowed for increasing the criteria for involuntary detention including the reasons you mentioned. Instead of adult care facilities, they expnded and made conservatorship eaiser. Some counties have delayed its implementation because of cost issues.
Indefinite detention is unconstitutional, expensive, and doesn’t make sense for treatment. Most people just need occasional detention to get their meds right and not constant supervision.
The statement in question.
Hamas are not good guys by any stretch, but unfortunately they are the folks bargaining for Gazans. In the face of continued Israeli aggression, disregard for international approval/law, and stated plans it’s no wonder they’re demanding that any deals have rock-solid guarantees on an enforceable timetable.
30 minutes in: “And you don’t have to change anything if your dishwasher is working for you. But honestly, you’re probably not watching this if things are working for you.”
Me: I live my life the way I want damn it!
Israel has never offer and has reject multiple permanent cease fires when offered by Hamas. This one offers a “complete ceasefire” and “end to hostilities”. There’s no reason to believe that Israel would accept this one else the US uses some of its leverage.
Can’t wait for the Thursday night primetime release of Dr. Dog: Miracle Worker on ABC. It’d be tragic if they didn’t cast Snoop as the doc.
This is exactly what Lewis Carroll was saying..
It’s an annual march.
Over the last fifteen years of having read him, I find myself coming back to him to gain clarity of our current situation. At first, I couldn’t tell if he was a genius or mad man. I tilt towards genius now.
Edit … Isn’t that Hunter S. Thompson?
Baudrillard is always a joy to read.
Alight, alright. Now why don’t you make like a tree and get out of here?
I’d go back in time and give my younger self a sports almanac telling him to place bets with it.
I think the distractions are partially a user issue and partially a company issue. Companies make their programs noisy with notifications by default that I only change it once I’ve found it annoying. They also make their program so bloated that they are slow to load and execute. By the time the app loads, I’ve lost my flow and now the tool is a nuisance. My mind is already cluttered. I don’t need tech to slow it down.
I want those things and I want a phone that’s easy to use, doesn’t constantly advertise to me, and is more of a helpful tool than a distraction.
Thank you for writing that up! Much appreciated.
