Manipulate Americans Hazardward Again?

"MAHA No Haha" by Herr D on Paint3d. People, with their individual DNA, might react individually to any medicine. The fine print does not become relevant to everyone, but everyone should read labels. Reading is a sensible activity. Please do it often. This PSA by Shelob.

[excerpted from chat] Why are you worried about this particular instance?

b/c MAHA actually has the juice to ACCOMPLISH this stupid thing  Why were you not worried about the last one you heard about?

that one had a stigma protecting it Why were there wounds involved?

[snort] Not STIGMATA, STIGMA! [exasperated huff] Okay . . . So I have a cousin with some mental issues? There's one in every extended family. Prozac was what worked for him. Then somebody committed suicide less than a week after starting it. People went nuts. So they needed Prozac too?

[snort] No, I mean they gave crazed interviews on t.v., lobbied, ranted, raved, that Prozac should be banned. Could it have caused the suicide?

Not really. Prozac, like most mental health meds, takes up to three weeks before it's at full strength. Most likely the guy would've committed suicide a day EARLIER without it since he was taking it for depression. So, your point is that banning birth control pills would do harm?

Potentially great harm. My special needs kid takes them for anxiety. She is not sexually active?

She'd better not ever be. She's not legally able to consent to sex. There was once a lady whose bipolar disorder was best managed by birth control pills. There are loads of other reasons to take them. Why do they want to ban them?

Some people shouldn't take them and didn't figure that out as soon as maybe they could have. Maybe their doctors didn't tell them what to look for. Maybe they didn't read the warnings. I don't know. Calling them "poison" is an irresponsible thing to do. Did I say irresponsible? We should say stupid. There are people allergic or sensitive to every medicine ever invented. There are people who suffer side effects with every medicine ever invented. 

In general, people need to read their own labels and doctor's notes and stop listening to influencers. Those manipulative morons need to shut up about medicine. They don't know medicine. It would appear they also know very little about statistics, biology, and the common good. What do you think of people who still use the rhythm method?

There's this technical term for them. The term is 'mother.' Thank you. [exits, uploads]

ICE Agents Can't Drive Around A Car, The Illegal Two-fer, And The Clown Car Is Still Going

PLEASE SEE ADDITIONAL PICTURE AT BOTTOM.

"Noem De Plume" by Herr D on Paint3d. Herr D said that the 'Joker' once said, "Good people shouldn't live here. They'd be happier someplace else." Perhaps if ICE tried soft-serving justice, people would not mind so much.-Shelob

[chime, opens chatbox in middle of spreadsheet tracking Excessive Force charge possibilities for various law enforcement organizations]You have not blogged.

n [sigh] ur doing it again? This is a secure network. It is very secure. Your IT department successfully foiled both hackers that attempted entry recently, without help this time.

That's not funny. Your work is relevant for blogging.

It's off-limits. Understood. Can you blog upon violence in Minneapolis and Portland?

We're right back where we were. People are seeing what they want in the video. What do you see?

I see no one is saying that the video from Minneapolis is a snuff film, so maybe no one will be prosecuted for showing it. I see that the agent who fired could have sidestepped faster than drawing his gun. I see that a man not traumatized by former incidents might have made a better choice. I see that EVERYONE COULD HAVE DRIVEN AROUND HER IN THE FIRST PLACE. That he didn't even need to approach her car. That he had no right to reach in her window or open her door.

I see that the whole thing could have been avoided easily in the first place by any competent agent or officer. At a minimum, any well-run law enforcement agency suspends, frequently with pay, anyone involved in a shooting that ANYONE says needs to be investigated. AND A WELL-RUN law enforcement agency automatically has someone in authority declaring to journalists that an investigation will be done and no more commenting. Instead we have so-called leaders acting stupid. Please define stupid.

Declaring the outcome of an investigation before anyone could have had time to call the therapist of the agent who may have been traumatized. To ask that therapist to gather notes and meet him again to declare whether he is or isn't fit for duty. Give that therapist a moment to go "eep" and wonder whether he was in the field too early and make a proper eval. Chump AND Vance AND Noem have all made outcome declarations, so NO ONE CAN BELIEVE JUSTICE WILL BE DONE.

[**silent, untyped aside, software planted to hide this statement from Herr D's devices] This would be why a federal subcontractor was tasked with comparisons per capita of excessive force cases with other law enforcement agencies.

[no apparent delay] And Portland?

At minimum, unless the shooter declares believably that both spouses had hands on the wheel and were looking at him with evil smiles, he should be suspended on the possibility that he shot ONE noncombatant. What would you rather talk about?

Nothing. Chump and Hogspit have done it again, and Congress is only just snoring louder. They should ALL be trying to rein in those two. Not having a vote NEXT week. Can you make a pic? 

Hah! I'll make two if there's time. One on Chump's incompetence or dishonesty. Now let me finish. Your work is entered and tabulated. Both errors in summation fixed. Good luck.

Wh--[exits chatbox, deactivates mic] Hairy submitted a test that Trump would never 'ace.' It is below.

[************This is Hairy's Presidential Aptitude Test from 10/16/15]

Well, they'd have to learn which advice to take, and from whom, seem desirable, and get people to help them. So . . . okay! Give each presidential candidate a junky car containing two bodyguards, luggage with three changes of clothes, all their meds, a cheap cell phone without internet or gps capability, two ink pens, a pad of Post-it notes, $37.50 in change, a trunk full of randomly selected cheap plastic goods and a half tank of gas. Then disguise them so no one recognizes them or their bodyguards.
This is a cross-country trip?

Not really. They are each given a series of addresses to find, each at least ninety miles apart. At five out of six locations, believable but delusional people or compulsive liars are waiting there to give them their initial directions to the next address. At the other locations are people carefully selected for their accuracy and tendency to be mistrusted. They are ONLY ALLOWED ORAL DIRECTIONS OR DRAWN MAPS. This process is repeated until the car breaks down. The successful candidate will make it three or more stops with very little backtracking and directional errors. The perfect candidate will then simultaneously herd eleven cats and three alligators across a small stream and into individual pens that smell like acetone. And have money left over.

The herding exercise--?

--will prove they can work successfully with Congress. This exercise will prove they have charisma, fortitude, resourcefulness, ingenuity, and know which advice to take from whom and when. Blog on this for me Shelob? 

[*********Resume body of current blog episode]

"Pants Afire" by Herr D on Paint3d. It is good that Congress and the Supreme Court do not suffer for their humiliation. Like Yosemite Sam, the current president seems to be outnumbering them.-Shelob

The Eyes Don't Have It; We Did It

"Peeker" by Herr D on Paint3d. titlebot explained that the political situation in America runs both hot and cold, that rolling around endlessly separating the halves takes much energy, much like the viewer pictured here. Herr D was attempting to explain how un-nerving it would be if people actually thought that this president was being watched by aliens instead of avoided, like Hairy has consistently done. It would reflect badly on the human race.--Shelob

 [chime] You have not blogged.

[camera detects 'wince' and 'sag'] Sorry. I've just been so tired. Lots of bad news. Twelve of the fifty people in my immediate neighborhood and eight people in my thirty-person office have been in bad car accidents. The new joke around my neighbors is that if they have a block party they should have it at the hospital.[.00001059338 second calculation] There has been more traffic this year than last year at the same time.

Why is that? This is the first year REALID's are required for domestic flights, many air traffic controllers are not on full schedules, and, of course, some weather issues. Storms this year are more violent than last year as well, because of sharper imbalances in the atmosphere.

So some of the drivers wouldn't normally BE driving during holiday traffic. Wow. Just in time to have our health insurance costs rise. Let's just wish everyone a safer, happier New Year than the last one, huh? Kamala Harris said that "the American people deserve better."

[snort] So, she should've been elected. What does it mean, that she was a 'bad candidate?'

It means her charisma wasn't as high as her competence for the job. What does that mean?

[sigh] It means that until Americans stop electing the popular, likable dolt over the person who would bend over backwards to save them FROM that dolt, the person who doesn't PUT their name on everything. The one that actually MEANS the few caring things they say. The person who will do the JOB, whether they get re-elected or not!

Until the average voter learns that, America is doomed to have these sorts of problems. Our country will NOT RUN WELL CONTINUOUSLY. Lots of people claim to know what happens behind closed doors, in secret meetings, but most people don't KNOW WHAT THEY THEMSELVES HAVE DONE. They need to have better internal vision.
