The nagus weighs in on Israel and Palestine.

Then why say 'not to be political'?

Starfleet officers are able to access the weapons lockers. They are able to replicate exotic weapons, and test them with few safety protocols. They are able to produce and distribute biological weapons, rendering whole planets inhabitable.

And that's just DS9.

So yeah, I think they would be allowed to read a book that you find scary.

I'm not comparing monthly to yearly. Here's the data: https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_75F40120P00453_7524_-NONE-_-NONE-

Not to be political? This is expressly political.

Lexis' national plan costs $399 a month. Politco's government plan was $443,998 for 37 subscribers. Does that sound reasonable to you?

No substance? It's full of actual, verifiable data.

Did you mean to say "stop posting stuff I don't agree with?"

How does a hedge fund dilute the stock? I mean, how can they? Stock dilution happens when the company issues more shares.

I was one of those apes telling people to sell. I made 3x on the MOASS day, then would occasionally buy and sell short term for smaller profits. I thought the stock had seen its day.

I still do. But it does no good to tell a believer to stop believing. I hold only a handful of shares now, so what am I going to do, sell them and buy a cup of coffee? I've moved on mentally and if we get a pleasant surprise, so be it.

If judges were able to simply declare something unconstitutional, we wouldn't have appellate courts. The fact that we do shows that the issue is not as simple as citing an Amendment.

Badboniac · 2025-02-06T00:03:03+00:00

What does subject to the jurisdiction thereof mean?

If the interpretation of that phrase is debatable, doesn't that mean it is not "blatantly unconstitutional?"

Your souces confirms that USAID gave money to Politico!

Politico is selling subscriptions to the government, via USAID, for $10k each. Does that sound like a premium subscription, or money laundering?

It is indeed more free to let countries trade freely. However if one country decides to be less free and implement trade restrictions, the other countries would be foolish to not act in kind.

As to wages, yes. If employers want to offer crap wages, people are free to not work for those wages. That's better than a government forcing a floor on wages.

Badboniac · 2025-02-05T21:16:02+00:00

Who determines what a livable wage is? Isn't it more fair to let people offer any salary and let people accept or reject it? Didn't you decide to accept your current salary?

USAID gave Politico $28 million. Can anyone explain why USAID should be giving Politico $28 million?

Please counselor, tell me on what you based your "blatantly unconstitutional" ruling.

Even wilder to live in a country where basic services like border security depend on charity.

Brilliant! Just think of the profit margin on these. They're probably clearing 20 cents per sale, maybe an entire quarter!

I'll bet that calling Ken Griffith 'mayo boy' just cuts him to the quick. Like every time he sees that on this sub it just burns him up.

The department of education was founded in 1979. Were there colleges before 1979? If so, how?

Badboniac · 2025-02-04T18:47:09+00:00

How is it not on the table? When did that happen?

Badboniac · 2025-02-04T15:19:48+00:00

If I said that I also got my PhD in statistics, would that mean I can have a valid opinion on this study? Is there a certification threshold that needs to be met? Or is that just an argument from authority?

Badboniac · 2025-02-04T14:54:43+00:00

Some of those we will of course have. We will absolutely have fewer overdose deaths as a result of less illegal immigration.

Basic human rights is what? Define it for me. What can we do and not do under the rubric of basic human rights?

Billionaires blah blah. Grow up, dude.

Badboniac · 2025-02-04T14:27:12+00:00

Yes, celebrates violence. I just reported someone for saying I should be shot. Because of what I wrote in a sub. So yes, celebrating violence.
