Not a repeat; an error. How many people were in their seats, unbuckled?

Care to explain how a circuit court might come to hear an appeal out of a state court of general jurisdiction?

> they’re legally required to in the US

Obviously false, not even arguable

Same reason they cant quarter troops in your house: the law

Directing your attention to Coca-Cola

> can't wait to see 6 cylinder engines go the way of the v8.

You want to stuff an in-line six in every race car, buggy, and Jeep that you see, with a supercharger slapped on top? Why not just go with an LS?

> weren't on their deathbeds with covid claiming it was a hoax

Have you treated many patients with COVID? I’ve heard the opposite of your claim from those who have.

As the husband at the time of a military critical care nurse who worked local ED in a major US city and deployed to New York -- yes, there were absolutely people who denied they had COVID even as they were being intubated.

Most people tended to accept reality when their body started failing, but there were a non-zero number that refused to believe they were infected with coronavirus to the end.

Politicians and social media click farmers spouting lies do influence people, and not everyone starts with a basic understanding of biology and/or science.

People with first hand experience offering counterpoints like Dr Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi did but unfortunately their videos explaining their side of the story were conveniently removed from places your YouTube -- while conveniently leaving the videos remaining to hear the kind of stories you heard.

Step back a moment and ask yourself,

“How exactly would Dr Dan Erickson know if someone else’s patient said this?”

There was massive regional differences in how different parts of the country and even different parts of the same state responded to COVID.

Was this a yes or a no?

The issue was their extrapolation of their local keyhole perception to the entire country.

> but I wondered why a petty thief thought she could get into the Agency.

It’s reassuring to know no one at the CIA has ever done anything wrong, like stealing fifty dollars.

Knowing someone had committed petty theft is at least a red flag. I can't blame an employer for considering it disqualifying when they have many equally qualified candidates without it. Even for a burger flipper, let alone a secret agent.

We know nothing about the situation. It's entirely possible that the person took $50 from their parent's purse as a child.

My parents used to love to tease me about the time I stole candy from the grocery store as a child. Is that a red flag?

If you don’t at least mention that damning fact on your polygraph, of course it is!

Since you asked: How old of a child?

Six or seven.

37. (/s)

> Knowing someone had committed petty theft is at least a red flag.

Not really, since everyone has done so. Even you.

Not getting caught for it on the other hand could be a positive.

I'm not sure what culture or friends you live around, but to believe everyone has thieved is disturbing. What other ills may you believe everyone does, and so do flippantly?

> but to believe everyone has thieved is disturbing.

No, it's fact. It's part of learning and growing up. You never stole anything in your life, not a piece of candy, nothing?

I genuinely have no memory of doing that.

Convenient.

The problem from the CIA's perspective isn't petty theft, it's getting caught.

I remember hearing you can't even get government clearance if you admit you have ever smoked weed. Incredible

Why would anyone believe this?
