Thanks.

Guess I'll just invest in like a tower fan or something.

Having good airflow in the room is probably more important than the mattress.

Honestly can't wait to get in my own room even if I don't have a mattress or frame yet. SO I CAN HIDE FROM THE 3 YEAR OLD ASKING ME QUESTIONS CONSTANTLY.

I get that's how kids that age learn but fuck child, you JUST asked me like 4 minutes ago "what are you doing?" when I was surfing YouTube and nothing's changed...

I think this response indicates that my point didn't really get through. If you want to make a case that the NYT is systematically biased against Bernie, a questionable grievance about a particular story doesn't cut it. Also, I didn't see them painting his speech in a negative light. Another story on it noted this:



It's not necessarily better to spend all time chatting with people, but it's a different approach, and it's worth noting in coverage of the event.



Maybe, but no organization can stand up to that kind of vigilance from critics. Once you're in the mental space of interpreting something like that tweet as an attempt to undermine the campaign, you're beyond any hope of a reasonable assessment of the paper's coverage.

Yes, I acknowledge that I am in that mental space, but not without reason. One will not see the pattern of bias if one subconsciously agrees.

Ember is supposed to write reported articles, not op-eds, but she consistently paints a negative picture of Sanders’s temperament, history, policies, and political prospects in the over two dozen pieces she’s done on him. This makes sense, given the New York Times’s documented anti-Sanders bias, which can be found among both editors and reporters alike.

The paper was caught making significant changes, without acknowledging them, to a 2016 article on Sanders hours after it went up: it changed the headline (from “Bernie Sanders Scored Victories for Years via Legislative Side Doors,” to “Via Legislative Side Doors, Bernie Sanders Won Modest Victories”); deleted a positive quote from a campaign adviser; and added two negative paragraphs.​

Well, the Epstein thread... someone pissed in JB's fucking cornflakes this morning.

Will check in. I'd say he's been super on point for a huge part of it, doing some lord's work on some CTers. I think he's earned some "mercurial time."

Like, all I posted was "it's not out of the realm that guards were paid to allow someone to kill him" and he goes OFF on me like I'm saying JFK is still alive and planned 9/11.

Which I'm sure now Eddie Bravo is looking into the truth of it.

Also, I get this is just a re-skin of Huck Finn but goddamn I really want to see it:

TIL: I'm a tarrif supporting MAGA boi. In other threads, "a Bernie cum guzzler".

Sorry but yeah, that's pretty much out of the realm dude. If you said maybe a guard was paid off not to do his rounds, that's still super unlikely but not getting into UFO territory.

The whole thing smells REAL bad though.

There's a person in that thread that claims to have done time in that very facility and was only in the general housing units and the sheets THEY had there (while not on suicide watch) would tear at the slightest pull on them so I struggle to see how he could have stuff with him to kill himself unless he used like the elastic in the uniform or something. But MOST places have moved to jumpsuits to try and avoid that.

I mean you only need a couple of feet of material, and "hanging" generally consists of sitting down and leaning forward. Also it's not like anybody is saying that he didn't have to be clever to pull it off- remember he had a failed attempt not long ago where he was found on the floor, so his setup probably failed. If you really, seriously want to die you can even just shove something down your throat.

The thing that sticks out for me from what I know of how jails work is the one for where I USED to live... if you're on suicide watch they strip you down to your skivvies and stick you in a cell that has basically just a hole to piss/shit in with running water and a slab to sleep on. They had 3 guys commit suicide by using the blades off shaving kits and stuff so they don't take chances anymore.

Since he had the failed attempt I guess I'm surprised he wasn't like strapped to a confinement chair with basically nothing he could use to kill himself with.

For how long do you strap the person down? People have rights.

THIS IS

THE WORST

LOUNGE THREAD I'VE EVER BEEN IN!

 

[Gregolian]

I get that. I know it's hypocritical and fucked to think this way some but if you're indicted on fucking sex trafficking charges, and as many as he was potentially facing there's a small dark part of my brain that says he got an easy out and should have rights stripped while in custody... but I also have to read police reports for sex crimes every week so I'm jaded.

IDK, it seems weird the "2nd person in his cell" and "every 30 minute check" were neglected/mismanaged on an inmate that was part of such a high profile case.

THIS IS

THE WORST

Is Daniels still doing that dumb "flipping the bird cause my other fingers are tapped" bullshit?

 

[Trotsky]

Welp, it's official. Curt Schilling is going to be a member of Congress soon.

Curt Schilling, former major-league pitcher and World Series hero who squandered away so much goodwill that the Red Sox no longer want anything to do with him, has for the umpteenth time floated the idea of running for office. What makes this time different is that Donald Trump gave him a signal boost.

​

You may be thinking, "well, that's a quick conclusion to jump to," but you haven't seen how perfect his resume is for 2019 Republicans:

Since he retired from baseball, Schilling hasn’t done anything that would suggest he’d be a capable member of society, let alone Congress. He has taken a $75 million loan from Rhode Island for his video game company, filed for bankruptcy, and reached a $2.5 million settlement with the state; worked as a baseball analyst for ESPN before he was fired for his addiction to sharing bigoted memes; pushed conspiracy theories on the Parkland school shooting, from QAnon, and about a train crash in Hoboken, New Jersey; featured a white supremacist on his radio show and promoted his work; and acted like an overall miserable person whose brain has been eaten away from internet overuse. Oh, and he might have a little too much Roy Moore in him.

Are you happy now, @Jack V Savage? This is what it took to normalize talking about the most boring sport on Earth on this forum.

If it makes you feel better he complained about being assaulted by other inmates. So he at least got a bit of the standard sex offender treatment before he checked out.

It's starting to come out that they had serious issues and irregularities. I definitely would not assume it was some well-oiled machine. CTers like to pretend (when it's convenient) that everybody was always following the rules and had a perfect ability to perform to standards. That way they can fantasize like very small children with bad toys, and take any irregularity or lapse as a part of the conspiracy.

Granted I come from a very small jurisdiction but the jail deputies I knew who were on the "suicide watch wing" as it was called did cell checks every like 15 minutes. Not quoting but one basically said "yeah, it's supposed to be 30 minutes but we try to go for county policy of 15 minutes to cover our ass in case one manages to kill themselves while on the watch".

IDK, there's a lot of questions I have about it. Like, he tried once already and he didn't have a cellmate and if they didn't check every 30 minutes there's like 3 violations right there to my knowledge. I know at least where I came from if you tried once you were booked into the local hospital for them to monitor you with a deputy on guard in your room at all times.

Again though, small jurisdiction compared to wherever Epstein was.

Read the story. There's some ambiguity in the headline that is resolved if you read it.

As the gentleman pointed out, headlines are more impactful than stories these days. Browsing headlines is the norm. I think if one were to perform an analysis of all NYT candidate-centric headlines for the past four months, one would find that Sanders's coverage has been the most negative of the top five candidates.

Yeah, I've seen that before, and gone through it. Not a credible attack.

Disagree that he's been on point. He's facing the right direction here, but he's still limping.
