UH huh

The largest flying animal to ever live, as far as we know, was the Quetzalcoatlus, which is estimated to have a mass up to over 400 pounds. Thats more mass than 99% of all humans, flatly disproving your claim.

If you assume that we can change density then its possible sure.

Just because theres no living bird with that mass doesn’t in any way mean its biologically impossible.

If you just reshaped a person into a bird shape, its biomechanically impossible for them to fly.

Why would you assume it would have the same density as a human?

Because otherwise you arent turning a person into a bird, you are just making a bird (or other flying mammal) with the same approximate mass as a human.

This is an arbitrary restriction you’re adding to the scenario.

Seems implied to me

Conservation of mass doesn’t require conservation of volume.

So the original post would just be “a flying bird with the same mass as a human would be a huge bird”

Which…sure

Biggest by mass, but a bird with the mass of a human cant fly (biomechanically impossible), so there needs to be magic fuckery involved.

Meaning that a shapeshifter that turns in a flying bird with the same mass as a human would likely not be as large as you think. Humans are very dense compared to birds. Assuming we keep that density, we could be smaller than some of the larger eagles or carrion birds.

Fucking yeah I sure hope so. Even the scum of the earth like this deserve due process

Due process involves discovery, where the full unredacted documents would have been turned over…

Due process doesn’t mean you can just refuse to follow the law.

So you grandma is catholic.

No, her doctor is, my grandma is Atheist

Let’s be clear here.

Its pretty fucking clear

And yes, killing someone is very problematic. I admit I don’t have the answer.

I do, let people die when they want to.

Let’s not act like this is that simple.

It really is

Not just allowed, actively pushed to do so.

The doctor she goes to did it, just decided that it was against his religion for her to decide to go on hospice care.

Even if he would allow it, in order for her to get on hospice, her doctor would have to go in front of an ethics committee and argue for her to be allowed to go on hospice. If anyone on the ethics committee objects, she isn’t allowed.

California has a right-to-die law (one of very few states that does). You are allowed to die if your doctor can prove that your disease will kill you in 6 months, that you are coherent (at the time of death, you cant sign anything beforehand for it), if you are capable of taking the suicide pills without assistance.

The doctor has to document that you made two separate distinct verbal requests, 48 hours apart. Has to document that your disease will kill you in 6 months, has to document that you are able to take the pills on your own with no assistance (too weak to die? too bad). The case is automatically reviewed (and they will try to take away the doctors license every time).

And anyone involved is allowed to stop you if they object on any grounds.

Killing yourself is a sin in most versions of Christianity, so its effectively illegal in most of the country, and any doctor that is willing to let you has to really really work to not get their license taken and them thrown in jail.

Unfortunately, a lot of people arent.

Due largely to religious bullshit (at least in america), its very very difficult to get death with dignity. My grandma has parkinsons, she wants to go on hospice before it takes her brain, but her doctor is Catholic and decided its against his religion to let her die as she wants to.

Shes trying to find a doctor who will let her, but its very very difficult. Its still considered murder in most of the country, and even most Hospice doctors wont do anything besides not resuscitate. We have to be careful to not call an ambulance for her, because if she goes to a hospital, the doctor is allowed to just ignore her DNR if thats against their religion.

Im sure that will last a whole 5 minutes

I don’t know if those claims hold water.

uh huh, im sure you dont.

Who is assaulting people associated with the SPLC again?

The federal government, who have demonstrated that they are downright eager to harrass, assault and/or execute anybody who isnt particularly fond of Nazis the KKK or christofascists in general (or anybody who embarrasses them in any way).

And the costs associated with litigation are largely attorney’s fees…

Sure, which the SPLC now has to spend defending itself against spurious lawsuits instead of helping people.

The Fed doesnt care about the cost, they can make taxpayers pay for it. They dont care if they win or lose, winning or losing isnt the point (although the courts may be corrupt enough anyways).

Thats not the point.

The point is that the DOJ now sends a bunch of people to harass and assault anybody associated with the SPLC. Doesnt matter if the DOJ looses, they dont care about that, just dragging the case out to cost the SPLC money.

You dont need standards when the goal isnt to hire competent people.

They are just looking for sycophant’s, as long as you have no idea what the laws say but you can blame “demonrats” for whatever problems conservatives cause, you are exactly what they are looking for.
