How about broadening beyond federal possession so we actually help some of these individuals

That's like using a battery to charge another battery. It takes energy (ie electricity) to make free hydrogen which can then be burned for energy. It's storage.

Bummer about your dad.

Sadly, or I guess it's still a good thing, but this clemency right now, no one will be released from prison add might only impact about 6,500 individuals.

We need real reform and not just lip service and mostly-empty gestures

Most certainly. It is VERY complex for the child. Paternalistic medicine had/has these unfounded theories that they still practice with, namely in women’s care, pediatrics, mental health. And it’s not limited to only male providers. Thx for sharing!

Yep, not uplifting at all.

What a fun guy to name it after.

This is the first thing i thought. Perhaps after he can own firearms again. I doubt it though.

That fungi killed his dog, dammit have a little compassion!

For real, stories like this are not uplifting. It does make me happy this kid was willing and able to help, but kids aren't who should be solving these issues...

I was agreeing with you and talking about the guy you replied to

Fyi: S’pore = Singapore

(I rolled my eyes, too)

Non violent crimes should NOT have jail/prison as a consequence.

If you pull your bootstraps hard enough, you'll achieve flight!

It's because the characters he plays tend to be so deadly.

My daughter (born 2000) had to go back to the NICU at 3 days old and was in the hospital 10 days. She was hospitalized again at 6 months thanks to RSV. We are only now linking her mental health issues to this trauma. I’m pretty sure she has Complex PTSD. But at the time the prevailing attitude was that babies will not form memories so they wouldn’t be affected. We lost a lot of time to help her. We are obviously doing what we can now with psychiatric help and trauma therapy.

I’m glad this field of study is growing. While it seems obvious now that trauma would stick around, you just genuinely don’t know as a new mother and trust what doctors tell you. I would have done many things differently as a young mom if I had a more trauma informed mindset at the time.

" they were so impressed they’ve named the chemicals after actor Keanu Reeves, a nod to how he eliminates villains in movies such as “John Wick” and “The Matrix.”"

One big point of all of this is that people who would otherwise be productive members of society are being prevented from fully contributing to the economy because of their criminal record.

Personal freedoms yaddayadda but the societal point of incarceration and keeping track of convictions is to limit people who would negatively impact the rest of society from doing so.

When laws go too far and you limit productive people, you harm everyone.

So ultimately it's not even about them and whatever sense of "justice" that compels the dumb parts of our human brains to feel its unfair that someone else is able to "get away with" breaking rules when we follow them.

Someone will need to explain this joke to my friend and me.

Let military veterans get all their earned medical benefits, despite having used cannabis -especially in states where it is legal.

What does Keanu have against fungi?

I have seen very small kids on ECMO and dialysis at the same time. Along with that, a ventilator and myriad intravenous medicines. Like, very small kids on 100% life support, if not even greater than 100% in abstract terms.
