not just luck.

moscow mitch literally refused to hold a vote on Obama's justice.

all they do is cheat.

missed the part where they sit on their hands and do nothing about the roots of the problems that lead to this.

then magically always vote with fascists in exactly the number they need to pass their garbage

Fascism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and white supremacy have no place in my artwork or business.
I don't want your business if you are actively supporting this horrible administration. I dont want your business if you have no empathy or compassion. If I lose money, oh well

i certainly cant be putting that in a public forum 💛

when people of color are executed for perceived crimes by law enforcement, and receive no penalty for doing so, could the law be operating in much the same way it would be for "legal ICE?"

ask yourself: would what ICE is doing be okay if there WAS a law on the books that said they could, and thus were "law enforcement"?

if your answer is yes, congratulations, you're a fascist.

if your answer is no, does it follow that perhaps existing law can be just as harmful?

if you accept state violence when it is within the state's definition of legality, the state will just make things legal.

slavery was legal, salve patrols were legal, jim crow laws were legal, segregation was legal, the fucking Holocaust was legal.

your case the time it needs. if the state decides you are guilty, you will be condemned to indentured servitude for scrip that can only be spent at the prison commissary.

a "rich" crime, though? slapped with a fine, the value of which is a rounding error compared to what you have gained.

justice is not achieved because the penalty of violation of the social contract is not based on harm done. it is based on what the state has ordained for you.

if you're ACCUSED of a "poor" crime, the state will send armed goons to kidnap you, appoint to you an overworked attorney who cannot afford

laws, warrants, regulations, guidelines are all just pieces of paper written with a promise that if you violate them, the state will enact violence upon you.

neither the validity of nor specific type of paper matters because the problem is state violence.

electronics!!!! fuckkk!!

this is also why bigger wires can handle more current, the larger cross-sectional area is lower resistance, and thus consumes less power, and thus gets less hot.

yep! this is why being wet lowers your body's resistance.

the resistance through a path is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of that path.

water (with some electrolyte e.g. salt). You're basically making the surface of your body into one big surface.

this why these are dangerous:
- extension cords (too small wires)
- power strips(too small wires and easy to overload)
-old sockets (dirty/weak contacts)

higher power devices, draw more current, higher resistances in the path get hot, and eventually catch fire.

it can still fuck you up pretty bad though.

The primary danger of mains voltages is the heating problem, which happens when a large current passes through a wire that is too small or through a contact that is dirty or broken (higher resistance).

current, as a result power, over time is energy, including thermal energy, thus heat, thus burn (or warming), thus pain, and including kinetic energy (jolting/jumping/spasming).

typically, residential mains voltage will not be in a situation where it is directly across your heart.

and not wet, it will maintain that resistance. this means it takes a larger voltage to induce the current necessary to kill you by electric shock.

additionally the current has to pass directly through your heart to caus arrest.

but no matter where that voltage hits you, there will be

a sensitive region of your heart. your internal organs generally all have fairly low resistance, but it might sum up to say 1000 ohms between distant points in your body. (not a doctor)

your skin, however has a fairly high resistance (hard to measure directly) and as long as your skin is intact

the rhythm could be disrupted and cause your heart to stop pumping blood, cardiac arrest.

The human heart has a resistance, a fairly low one on account of being full of water (blood). so a pretty small voltage, say 1.5V (a double A battery) could do you in.

but that's only if it's directly across
