Omggg

You’re both right.

Faxes in the eyes of the law are secure, for any privileged or confidential info. So are secured emails, last I checked.

I really like the idea of this. I’m going to book mark the link and never click it.

That’s hilarious, that you had to pretend you were dying of cancer for such extravagance to make sense in your life.

Killing someone more important has always been a ticket to, not fame, but infamy.

Comes from latin for “ill famed” or “of evil reputation.”

Unfortunately yes.

Ignorance is bliss.

Yeah but where can anyone make you go that you don’t have a floor?

I guess you could be tortured and held up in stress positions.

We have the same tax law in America. Can’t deduct clothing that you could wear for non work.

It’s a good practice because you always have one nearby. One of the few things no one can ever take from you.

This is not an area of law I stay up to date on, but that did not used to be the case. Is that a rather new development?

Last I knew most courts were holding that since customers are sharing this information with third parties (sharing with their phone companies, Apple and Google, Facebook, etc.), giving everything away anyway, most individuals have waived any claim to an expectation of privacy. The right to privacy is founded upon reasonable expectations. I did hear about some pushback on that, more recently, but not from the Court of Appeals from DC, which has jurisdiction over appeals taken from federal agencies, prior to the Supreme Court. I’d be grateful to be shown otherwise. About time, if true.

Search and seizure, the Fourth Amendment, only applies to State actors. The only exception is when a private entity is acting as an agent of the government, such as in the case of private prisons.

Congress needs to pass consumer protection laws aimed at privacy in the digital age. They haven’t updated this sort of thing I believe since 1996. It used to be legal for adult video stores to disclose the tapes people rented, but Congress passed a privacy law forbidding it when some journalists disclosed some of their rentals. The scandal had some cool name. I forgot what.

Had a laugh picturing this. You have to use a call to action to get people to help you get through. Get them to look at you and then look the way you’re going, and start tapping shoulders to help you through. “Coming through” “make a hole” “help me through please.” As you catch people’s attention, nod and gesture to direct their attention forward. It’s like surfing. You’ll catch waves. Helps to be male with a sobering voice I think.

I wonder if it was likely this was the most exciting thing these people had ever seen, or close to it?

The people and prices are insane. The behavior is one thing, but the sheer number of people crammed into these tiny spaces is so uncomfortable and unpleasant. I’m alllllll set with that.

Look, the endorphins and other neurotransmitters that come from floating through the air on that big swing or down the giant slide are the same whether you’re in Orlando or Oneida. Who needs all the other bullshit of Florida.

Maybe the one in California isn’t as unappealing. There, at least you’re in California and not Florida.

Very well. The other night was at a fall festival and they had some carnys pushing carts filled with toys and balloons, you know, plastic swords, plastic guns, snaps, stink bombs, and blow up guitars, etc., and they all had a bunch of flags for sale, including, at the very top, a bunch of made in China trump shit.

I saw one carney, who was black, and he did not have trump shit. So when it was time to let the kiddo pick a toy or something, I said he could buy from that carney. And I struck up a convo by offering that it was his lack of Trump shit that got him this sale; an important thing, I think, to tell retailers of this sort. We dapped it up for a second and he was looked at me like, “come the fuck on, obviously there’s no trump shit on my cart.” He said one of the other Carneys told him how much more money he could make, and how he asked the other guy back, “man, are you fucking stupid?” Nice guy.

This was Miss America in 1880.

Holy shit.

Nah, it was a letter signed by a bunch of doctors to some medical society or another.

The fight you’re looking for is one you need to have with yourself.
