In the 1971 case of Arkell v Pressdram,[76] Arkell’s lawyers wrote a letter which concluded: “His attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of your reply.” Private Eye responded: “We acknowledge your letter of 29th April referring to Mr J. Arkell. We note that Mr Arkell’s attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of our reply and would therefore be grateful if you would inform us what his attitude to damages would be, were he to learn that the nature of our reply is as follows: fuck off.”[77] The plaintiff withdrew the threatened lawsuit.[78] The magazine has since used this exchange as a euphemism for a blunt and coarse dismissal, i.e.: “We refer you to the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram”.[79][80] As with “tired and emotional” this usage has spread beyond the magazine.

Classism

No worries, lol. I originally wrote both lines out then decided it was too long and edited the wrong part out

Despite the existence of video footage of the attack, none of Murrell’s assailants have been charged with a criminal offense, although, officer Mark Marron, a spokesperson for the Boston Police, said Monday that there is “still an active and open investigation” into the altercation.

Some of those who burn crosses is an understatement when it comes to Boston

I was thinking physical evidence, like accelerants, etc. If they did it in view of cameras, that’s obviously much easier to catch, lol.

That’s honestly really impressive. The majority of the evidence has been incinerated by thousand-degree fires and covered in sea water and firefighting foam by the time investigators get to it.

Nixon didn’t before his pardon, but I suspect it would be necessary for a commutation.

Or the Freie Wähler or Bündnis Sara Wagenknecht. There are options for anti immigrant populism now

I take adhd medicine in Germany that I also took in the US. In the US, I had to pay $50 for a doctor’s appointment, ~$200 for a drug test to make sure I was taking it and only it, and then $220 for one month of the generic brand. Then, when I hit my deductible in about June, the drug test was free, my appointment was $30, and the medication was $50. For this privilege, I paid $13k/year in premiums. In Germany, I get insurance for about €140/month while working part time at a bakery, then all my required appointments are free, no drug test, and I get two months of the brand name medication for under €16.

I was making over $60k/year in the US, not living in a major city. I now earn a few euros more than minimum wage at a part time job in Germany. Things are significantly more affordable here.

Tbh, it’s probably a really weird week to be Canadian. Here’s confirmation about the importance of socialized hc, but also a bunch of uncomfortable “jokes” from your very unstable and militarily powerful southern neighbor.

I’m not at all tech savvy[1], but it’s not that hard, honestly.

[1] context: I know that when a steam game doesn’t work, sometimes I need to reinstall a driver, but I never remember how or where to do that. I use an iPhone from 2016, and I unlock it with my fingerprint.

Oh, I did do that. I just wouldn’t have looked into it if it weren’t for the advertisement warning.

I think birth control is in a weird category here though, because it’s (generally) totally elective and there’s a bunch of different kinds that work differently for different people, so it’s probably pretty standard for people to have preferences about it in a way that they probably don’t for various types of, say, cholesterol medication.

I rejected my medical care provider’s (I think it was a nurse practitioner) advice because of what I saw in an ad, and it did not go well. They were incredibly offended that I had an opinion and dismissive of the idea that IUDs could lead to scarring, which I got from the ad itself. I didn’t end up with any birth control that day, but the next month, planned parenthood gave me the ring instead of a first generation copper IUD.

When patients are denied necessary care, they suffer. I would argue that this was not an act of revenge, because that would have been much more gruesome.

There’s a proposed law for nyc to require licenses for them, but I think that was already in motion

Tbf, that’s the largest pool of potential suspects, so it makes sense that they’d want to call police attention in that direction regardless of the actual motive. I do think it’s genuine, but it’s a smart move either way

It would only make sense for him to turn himself in while accompanied by his lawyer after releasing a statement that he will be doing so. Even so, eventually he’s going to be alone in police custody and I’d be surprised if he survives that for long.

They went with American football, where “running back” and ”defense” refer to positions.

Don’t you know? People forfeit their right to not be raped when they commit crimes, because that’s not cruel or unusual or anything.
