Just go up the stairs. Or a curb. Or possibly a slight incline. Or stand in 2 inches of water. Or carry a hold a mirror in front of your shins so the robot thinks you are another robot.

A little blood in your phlegm/snot probably just means you had a nosebleed while you were sleeping or something. This is unrelated to the fact that you should stop drinking piss.- Dr. S. Awful

Or maybe the piss drinkers should actually be drinking more piss. Did you think of that? Maybe they should drink nothing but piss. Rub their bodies with piss. Wash their dishes with piss.

Yes. That is what the piss drinkers should do.

So libertarians then?

It's related, yeah. The sovcits get into a level where the law is literally ritual magic. If you draw the right sigils and utter the proper incantations you can make the law mean whatever you want it to mean.

The basic premise in america is that the USA federal government isn't a government at all, it is a corporation incorporated in the UK and owned by the Bank of England or the Queen. State and local governments are also usually seen as corporations, not legitimate governments. Since they are corporations, you have a choice to contract with them or not.

What is the legitimate government? Sheriffs. English common law circa the 1700s. Ye olde common law doesn't mention a lot of modern structures, so they don't exist. FBI isn't real, city police aren't real, they are just private security guards. The county Sheriff is the highest law enforcement authority. Presumably the nobility and royalty would also be legitimate, except that the US had a revolution to throw the bastards out and then never formed a new legitimate government.

Libertarians generally believe the federal government exists, they just think it has overstepped it's constitutional authority, and most things should be governed by the state government not the federal government. Sovcits think the federal and state governments aren't really governments at all.

I've also heard 7 different people say "my registration is allowed to be expired because I am not operating a commercial vehicle". How do so many people get the law wrong?

That one is from using a copy of Black's Law Dictionary from 1910 or something. The definition of driving and driver in pre-automobile times refers to a professional driver of a cart or carriage. Driver and carter were synonyms. Then they add the common law right to freedom of movement, the right to travel: you have the right to travel by the ordinary means of the day, and today the normal way to travel is by car. Combining the two ideas, they've decided that only a commercial vehicle needs to be registered and only a professional driver needs to be licensed, forcing a civilian to do so violates their common law or constitutional right to travel freely.

The cops and courts disagree. While you do have the right of freedom of movement, you don't have the right to drive a car, and Black's Law Dictionary is not a binding legal document.

Considering the name assault rifle is a made up term without a strict definition the most popular answer is that it's big black and scary.

We know what a sniper rifle is. And we know what a hunting rifle is. The rest of them are assault rifles.

I saw a Twitter thing where someone said Gushers should make some that look like laundry pods and gushers was like wtf and now it's a viral joke to eat laundry pods

It goes back farther than that. To the long ago birth of laundry pods, and whoever decided to make them look like gummy candy.



2016 article: https://www.today.com/health/never-seen-anything-more-children-harmed-ingesting-laundry-pods-t88036

quote:

Despite repeated warnings about the dangers to young children from laundry detergent pods, calls to poison control centers continue to rise, a new study shows.

Researchers found an increase of nearly 20 percent in reports of children putting the brightly colored packets into their mouths, with serious and sometimes even fatal consequences, according to the study published in Pediatrics Monday.

“What we found was astounding,” study coauthor Dr. Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital told TODAY. “During the two years of this study we saw an increase in the number of exposures due to detergent, but especially among exposures to laundry detergent packets. In fact, a child is reported to a poison control center about every 45 minutes in this country.”

Smith and his colleagues analyzed data from 62,254 calls made in 2013 and 2014 to U.S. poison control centers reporting unintentional exposures to laundry or dishwasher detergent among children younger than 6.

Calls increased for all types of detergent exposures, but the rise was greatest for the highly-concentrated laundry detergent pods (17 percent); followed by dishwasher detergent packets (14 percent).

Laundry pods are the most hazardous, particularly when the packets contain liquid detergent rather than granules.

The harms to children from laundry pod ingestion included:

17 cases of coma
6 cases of respiratory arrest
4 cases of pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs)
2 cases of cardiac arrest

“I’ve seen children in emergency departments for decades that have been exposed to laundry detergents,” Smith said. “But we have never seen anything like this. These children have come in in a coma, they’ve stopped breathing. We’ve even had two deaths in the last two years due to exposure to laundry detergent packets.”

Bitter taste, stronger containers

Earlier this year two lawmakers took a stab at reducing the damage by introducing a bill, the Detergent Poisoning and Child Safety Act, that would require safety standards for the products.

“Anyone with common sense can see how dangerous it is to have liquid detergent in colorful, bite-sized packets that children will inevitably swallow,” said bill coauthor Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) in a statement.

The bill was put on hold after pod manufacturers agreed to make changes to their products, which included adding a bitter tasting packet coating and using containers that were harder to open, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Smith and his colleagues take a harder stance, "strongly recommending" that parents not use laundry detergent packets if there are young children at home.

“They should use traditional laundry detergent," Smith said.

According to The American Association of Poison Control Centers symptoms of ingesting a pod can include excessive vomiting, wheezing, breathing problems or sleepiness.

To keep children safe, the AAPCC advises:

Always keep detergent containers closed, sealed and stored up high, out of the reach of children.
Call your local poison center at 1-800-222-1222 immediately if a child is believed to have come in in contact with detergent or a laundry pod.

Consumer Reports recommended laundry pods never be used in homes with young children, because the little scamps just can't resist eating them. There were tons of articles about the problem.

Naturally the reaction of non-parents residing on the internet was something like "lol, how dumb does a kid have to be to eat soap" soon followed by "they do look kind of yummy".



But mostly only kids and adults with dementia actually eat them and die. So funny.

So I assume the laundry pods do taste good if kids don't spit them out after putting them in their mouths. I'll admit I've considered biting into a pod before.

They've started putting a bitter film on the outside, so you missed your chance.
