What do you think about removing the automatic filibuster and returning to requiring a senator to stand and speak?
I don't think the minority should have the unbridled ability to effortlessly stop debate and voting on any bill they like, no matter which party they belong to, but I have no problem with them actually extending debate so long as they actually debate (or at least speak). Killing bills and debate because supporters don't have a super majority as the norm has paralyzed government and is rapidly getting worse. It makes compromise unnecessary and obstructionism a platform, and that's not working.

What sort of evidence?

- Accusation/testimonial evidence?

- Or Physical evidence that is an invariant indicator of rape, that you can hold, see, measure, etc?



Anyone can accuse. That's effortless. Takes barely more energy than breathing.

(It's also effortless for a group of sour girls to gang up on a dude that upset them. Because "f that guy'. (That attitude isn't even rare.))



Physical evidence? People are convicted day in and day out of all sorts of things without physical evidence.

(Court is after all a popularity contest.)




My scary moment was when a cop detained me and told me he was going to charge me with : reckless driving, driving without a seat belt, and with threatening his life.

Why? Because I pulled up to a road block and asked him if I could drive past his road block to go home (which was a short way past the road block)... and he was having some emotional stability/triggering issues at the time, and he instantly turned red and went full on tirade mode.

Fortunately for me, after detaining me a few hours, some switch flipped in his head again and he just went to his car, got in, and drove off. Surreal.

So I asked myself :
If I had been charged, what would be the difference in court, vis-a-vis evidence, between it being a lie, and it being the truth?
Answer : No difference.

All he threatened me with was provable only by his word, and no evidence was required. I likely would have gone to jail, and had my life turned upside down... all on some person's grimace.

My view on evidence changed that day.
I will _NEVER_ convict anyone of anything, without physical tangible evidence that I can hold in my hand and see with my eyes, or at least run forensic tests on.
Testimony doesn't mean _shit_. It's absolutely, patently _worthless_.

(I also now run a dash cam everywhere I drive to protect myself from false accusations)




Basically, unless you have physical proof, I don't care.
Whatever you have to say, prove it.
No proof, no cares.

That goes for all accusations of anything ever. Across the board. Absolute.

It's the standard I want people to have for me, and it's the standard I have for others.

(Aside, unrelated : I know a dude that was raped by a girl (he was nearly paralyzed drunk at his own house party). Wasn't even a secret. People at the party knew it happened. Nobody cared. When he complained, all anyone said was "Oh whatever. Shut up get over it". It wasn't even a question of 'did it happen?', it was a matter of "so what?".)

Personally, I count the second time as you passing them somewhat effortlessly.

How ironic that the part where they talk about misrepresenting studies that they reference Gary Taubes, who's made a living misrepresenting science.

It's a common thing to compare fat vs sugar to make carbs look bad. But when you actually eat proper carbs (not sugar) then carbs win every time.

These people who ate 80% carbs, and only 10% fat, and effortlessly lose weight without calorie restriction or exercise: https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/health-science/stars/stars-written/

Also the fat you eat really is the fat you wear. They can radioactively mark it and find it again in your body.

Despite sugar consumption going down, diabetes and heart-disease is rising too.

Regardless of any study. Try eating 80/10/10 for a few weeks, and you'll see the results for yourself. Stuff your face with this food https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/?recipe_type=wraps-and-burgers

There's no portion or calorie restriction. Eat yourself thin.

Edit: And yes fat does definitely contribute to weight gain and heart-disease, take it from the only cardiologist to ever reverse heart-disease https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_o4YBQPKtQ&feature=youtu.be&t=6

Was going to post this a few days ago but couldn't find anything better than a facebook embed. Beautiful routine, so much so that watching this inspired me to go indoor skydiving this past weekend (highly recommend it if you can find a tunnel near you). Let me tell you, shit's hard... she makes it look effortless. life goals.

Wow! That whole thing made me smile so much. Congratulations! I'm sure everyone has told you how much you do and how valuable you are and how effortlessly you help bring this community together. So I'll just add that I think you're great and see if I can't figure out how to fix my 500 dead videos!

Throwing a disc all day (more like days) actually sounds like an awesome time.

No sarcasm tag.

Also, I can attest that by the way those discs fly he's got magnificent technique. Tons of effortless wrist snap.

You most certainly get fussy whenever anyone says a cop is engaging in brutality or misconduct. Don't pretend like you don't, sweetie.

If you like, I can go back thru all your comments and point out many examples.
Let's not forget the thinly veiled racism either.

Or the openly jingoist "Obama is a Foreigner" talking point you and bobknight ramble about at times.



Again, it's the pinnacle of hypocrisy to be offended by that..

While effortlessly labeling any group of black teens confronted by police as lazy, disobedient, thugs who are clearly part of "the criminal element".

Just keep that in mind before commenting.

I'm going to drop this into *Education, as it's an outstanding feat for the music teacher who taught this class..., each child seems to play their part so effortlessly. If only all students were taught like this.

Good one, not perfection but if you hear Geddys solo tracks from the record and lately from a live, it's about that. Of course what makes it different is that Geddy is there walking and jumping, waving to the crowds AND doing this. It's quite surreal when you know how much talent there is when he takes these licks so effortlessly. And his right hand technique... It looks like a muddly mess and yet hits just the right strings at the right time. Farcry from disciplined action you see this fine lady doing in this video.

TakeSomeCrime - *skillful, (seemingly) effortless dancing.

It seems quite clear from the above comments you had no idea what the situation was with this sifter, but couldn't help yourself from taking a shot at chicchorea anyway.

AGAIN you so effortlessly make yourself look like a ...

THIS comment is why.

YOU do it to yourself every.single.time.

But it's far from true, he's not the only one...just check the video link I put above of Dan Osman (RIP) who could run circles around this guy (before he pendulumed to his death). Now DAN was the only person in the world who could do what he did that I've ever seen....I remember seeing video of him effortlessly doing 1 pinky pull ups while being interviewed....just wow.

...or maybe he could have been smart, and not "slammed" at all...

Terrific actor, stole every scene effortlessly.

It's slightly unnerving how effortlessly the chunks get split into pieces, doesn't move like wood should.
