So the PSA wasn’t intended for that. It actually kind of only shows up late at night after most cities curfew and is supposed to be an anti-deliquency message, lol. The Atlanta Child murders are the other high profile case that happened right around Walsh’s murder though. Both popped in the national news in around '81.

What’s important about the Atlanta Child murders is they were ALSO dramatized in 1985 after the success of the Walsh dramatization( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atlanta_Child_Murders_(miniseries)). It was even more sensationalized and was specifically designed to fuel the panic. That’s why I consider the Walsh precursor really the watershed point. It was, however, gradual from the '60s as the news media really found out how to exploit it.

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_children_panic for a more complete overview. You’ll see this is also intimately linked to Reagan, the satanic panic, homophobia, and the political right.

It was the dramatization that did it though. That and John Walsh testifying to Congress with way off base figures about the dangers to children. The moral panic was media driven for ratings.

This is what started this panic. A TV movie dramatization from 1983. At this point current parents largely weren’t born yet so they don’t even know how it started, they’ve just been raised into believing this is normal. It’s not normal.

Google fired a co-inventor of it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timnit_Gebru

Following her departure, Google held a forum to discuss experiences with racism at the company, and employees reported to NBC News that half of it was spent discrediting Gebru, which they took as the company making an example of her for speaking out. The forum was followed up with a group psychotherapy session for Google’s Black employees with a licensed therapist, which the employees said was dismissive

It’s a real fucking laugh. It seems Google’s go to response to discrimination is to hire psychs to calm it’s employees. Real cyberpunk corpo shit. “Let’s fix your thinking.”

Yeah watch the video. It has a picture of the branch he shot down.

He didn’t hit the rope but the branch. If he was shooting for the rope he really would’ve shot the eagle.

No, you’re apologizing by drawing a fucking distinction for the Dems that does not exist. It just doesn’t. I’ll refer you to my original point: where is the red line for the Dems on Gaza?

Your continued apologizing for genocide as the lesser of two evils after the election is as morally bankrupt as the Dem leadership that tried to sacrifice gazan lives for the Republican vote. And look at how well that worked out for them.

To the best of his abilities my ass. Reflexively excusing his continued total support for Israel even after the election is delusional. It’s pretty obvious that you had no chance of getting any different result from a Democrat on this issue than a Republican.

And getting mad at me about it is kind of pointless, as I live in Maryland’s sixth and my vote for a Democrat house member is the only national vote that mattered (and in this case it really did matter). Despite that I did end up voting for Harris. Maybe you should get mad at the Dems morally bankrupt leadership instead of me.

150 shots with a .22 to hit the branch. I’m amazed he didn’t hit the fucking eagle.

He’s been finishing the job just fine under Biden. I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t honestly see what the difference is(in this particular issue). There was a time where wholesale annihilation and annexation was unacceptable but since that’s cool can you point me to where exactly you think the Dems red line exists? Because it certainly seems to be beyond the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

largely harmless at the levels in cigarettes and vapes for the primary smoker

The cardiovascular effects of nicotine over the long term are likely not harmless at all. There’s no reason to believe that combustion is the reason PAD, stroke, and other cardiovascular disease is associated with smoking. There is a very good reason to believe that a potent vasoconstrictor is, however.

It’s morally better they die fighting us for food, while we right each other for food. Trust me.

In many parts of the states they do because their insurance won’t cover them working on those bikes.

Stingy on letting you make your own vape but happy to let you stuff your lip with snus. Typical Sweden.

Most will not repair an ebikes outside of the brand they sell. I’d ask the shop first.

Can’t buy nicotine from the wholesalers anymore to do that in the US. Feds made it illegal.

You pretty much should only buy one from a shop that has a physical location near you and can do repairs. Like everybody around me sells Trek, so if I ever got one, it’d be a Trek with a Bosch motor. Bike shops will not repair ebikes they don’t sell, even though they’ll repair regular bikes. And neither Trek nor Bosch are going anywhere.

This isn’t a whole life sentence but 13 years and then parole for the rest of his life.

I honestly think the 24 hour daylight weeks would be worse.
