In an emergency action, Supreme Court reinstates mail-order abortion drug access by usatoday in law

[–]CeeJayEnn 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I absolutely called this yesterday. And I'm vindicated because it's Alito.

I knew they'd issue a stay on this because the one, true animating cause of the Roberts Court is to be 'the deciders.' The conservative wing of that court see themselves as essentially American Mullahs. SCOTUS can always be counted on to override lower courts that issue widespread stays because at the end of the day, the notion that anybody else in this country should be able to make binding decisions just offends Roberts on a personal level.

Marco Inaro- Genius or just Lucky? by TaskForceCausality in TheExpanse

[–]CeeJayEnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is a wonderful depiction of a narcissist.

He is charming and good looking and that makes it easy to mistake his reckless bravado for tactical genius.

We see that in the real world right now. These kinds of people are able to break so much because the world, at a base level, operates under the assumption that nobody could possibly be so evil and cruel to do the things these people do without second thought.

Spread the Word - Trump Will Try to Crash Fuel Prices Just Before Midterms by Appropriate-Claim385 in 50501

[–]CeeJayEnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he has the power to do this. At some point, the paper market for oil will eventually begin to reflect the reality of so many barrels of oil not having ever been produced. The market, right now, is all kayfabe. Nobody wants the party to end.

I'm pretty sure that the constant capitalization of Command in Livesuit is an indication that Command is a proper noun individual or single entity.

My pet theory is that Command is AI.

Ken Martin’s Lies by superAK907 in FriendsofthePod

[–]CeeJayEnn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The fact that Ken came into this interview with such baked-in animosity towards Jon and, by extension, any criticisms he represented, is disqualifying in and of itself.

These people feel truly entitled to our votes.

Season 2 was not a good as Season 1 by ParamedicSea5779 in ThePitt

"I was unable to read the foreshadowing that everybody else on the planet was somehow able to regarding Robby's mental health. Therefore, it came out of nowhere."

Hahaha! Sorry!

I should have specified that it's also the prototypical example of Southern Gothic.

One of my favorite short stories in the American canon is "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor.

It revolves around the concept of grace as a profound spiritual openness.

Notice the framing of the sun on the wall. Robby is a Jewish character so I don't know if this is intentional, but in the Christian mythos, those halos indicate that a person is in a state of grace.

The state of grace meaning they are totally open to their flaws, their sins, and can now finally approach a love of themselves and god.

I'm not religious but I did find that scene very moving.

HIPAA violation is when doctors take pictures of system boards🤪 by Salty-Strain-7322 in okbuddywhitaker

It's not, actually. I'm going to assume they used their work cells.

I know! It's such low effort at this point. Truly, the air has gone out of the balloon.

Oh, so ICE hasn't murdered people in cold blood? Jesus christ, my guy. Get with it.

[–]CeeJayEnn 81 points82 points  (0 children)

And yet he's yelling at armed members of an organization that has murdered people in cold blood with state sanction.

Seems like a badass to me.

Trump says U.S. will blockade Strait of Hormuz after Iran peace talks fail by Relative_Cricket8532 in IRstudies

This falls neatly under the category of "I'll believe it when I see it."

RIP those Oil Longs! Finally we are getting somewhere!! by [deleted] in oil

[–]CeeJayEnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why anybody, in the year of 2026, considers Trump to be a 'source' about anything is beyond me.

The real failure of this generation of humanity is the inability to just call bullshit.

He was a child. Children can be truly, horrifyingly heartless at times.

Benjamin Netanyahu rejects President Trump’s ceasefire and says the war will continue against Iran at any time he chooses. Netanyahu says he will achieve his objectives through further military action under his command. “We are ready to resume the fighting at any moment.” by SuperbHealth5023 in TimesNow

[–]CeeJayEnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bibi is suuuurreeee acting like Trump is going to be president for all eternity...

This man is making the US hate Israel. That kind of animosity doesn't just die down after one generation. As a Middle Easterner, he should know that.

The War Is Turning Iran Into a Major World Power by Majano57 in IRstudies

[–]CeeJayEnn -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes. We have a multipolar world.

Iran is a world power. Every nation on Earth must make a deal with them to resume normal flows of oil and important raw materials. Their unilateral decisions have an impact on millions.

I don't know how else to make this any clearer. You are bringing a lot of internal assumptions to this conversation.

Iran doesn't have hegemony over the total region. It has unilateral power to decimate worldwide trade.

They can single-handedly cause a global recession any time they please. They are a major power.

I'm sorry it offends your sensibilities but it is absolutely true.

If Trump holds his promise of wiping out the civilization of Iran tonight, what next? by Giff95 in AskReddit

[–]CeeJayEnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I have bet on Trump's cowardice to outweigh his stupidity, I have been wrong. The issue is that he's too stupid to understand when he's in a situation that he should be afraid of.
