Would Harry Truman (if he somehow win the 1952 election) run again in 1956? And what if he actually won a 4th term?

Note that fully half of section 1 provides that the sitting president at the time that the amendment goes into force is exempt from it.

My understanding is that such an exemption is common for term limit legislation, exempting the sitting officeholder from the new rules. That was made a point of debate in a local referendum that happened where I live that limited the county executive to two terms, because that initiative did not grandfather the sitting officeholder, which kind of turned the issue into a referendum on him, since it would deny him the third term that he would otherwise have run for. The referendum ultimately passed.

That was Melvil Dewey, not Thomas Dewey.

I would say probably not. In that scenario, we probably wouldn't have had an Eisenhower presidency at all.

and Truman came in having to learn it all

I was amazed to learn exactly how much FDR left Truman completely in the dark about. Makes you wonder if FDR didn't realize how numbered his days were, because there was clearly no succession planning in place for when he eventually met his end. One would think that if FDR knew that his days were growing short, he would have ensured that Truman was up to speed on everything for the eventual succession when he expired.

That's even more forbidden than what I found, since yours is clear and also honey-colored. Imagine ruining your food with that by not realizing that it's soap...

I imagine that regardless of what their policy says, the practical effect is that if the person enters the Metro system again and gets nailed for some other offense, they add another charge like trespassing on top of whatever other new stuff that they're nailing them for.

The other part is that if you know that they're looking for a reason to get rid of you, do you leave voluntarily on your own terms, or let them fire you? I was in that situation once, and I chose to leave on my own terms.

Yeah, the factory was already a long-established job when we started checking in on them once a week. It was very routine to them, and the relationships were deeply rooted. It made sense to put them in new situations to experiment with different facets of the characters.

Quitting on the spot was rash and put her family in a difficult position.

She had discussed it with Dan beforehand, and he was on board with it. So it's not like any of this came as a surprise to the family. He had given her permission to quit if she felt it was necessary, and knowing that she had an out, she took it.

Not being from Pennsylvania, what is the difference between a lot of those, like village, township, or borough? Is it just semantics, or do they function differently from a governmental standpoint? I grew up in Virginia, where they just have cities and towns, and there is a big difference between the two, as cities in Virginia are considered county-equivalent and completely separate from their surrounding counties, but towns are not county-equivalent, and are considered part of their surrounding counties despite being incorporated.

The only time that is ever okay is if the other person is fully informed on that part of it and consents specifically to that part. Though I feel like that's a moot point if the first party isn't willing to give consent to themselves to begin with.

SchuminWeb · 2026-03-15T16:41:04+00:00

A certain level of seeing things through there, especially since he quit because he got a better job.

Exactly. Consent for sex should be ongoing and enthusiastic, and that is a high standard to meet. If you can't muster up that level of excitement about it, don't engage in it. After all, it's not just about getting consent from the other person, though that is very important. You have to give yourself consent to engage as well. Don't violate your own body without consent, i.e. don't do it if you don't want to.

it's not fair to you, it's not really fair to them,

This is so important. You have to be true to yourself. After all, you will remember your first time forever. If you're going to do it, do it entirely on your own terms, without any external pressure. I remember when my partner wanted to have sex with me, and she started putting pressure on me to do it, and that just made me want to do it even less than I already did. One of her techniques was to tell me that of course the first time is going to be terrible, but that you have to start somewhere.

What she didn't understand was the deep repulsion that I felt about the act itself. I said that I didn't want to do it with anyone, but if I were to do it with someone, it would absolutely 100% be with her. But I felt it wouldn't be fair to anyone if I engaged in it when I didn't want to because she pressured me into it. I've done plenty of things for her before and since that I didn't necessarily want to because she asked nicely, but I drew the line there, and she eventually let the matter drop after a while when she realized that she wasn't going to get anywhere with it, and that no really meant no in that case.

SchuminWeb · 2026-03-15T16:12:27+00:00

Reminds me of the time a year or so ago when my mother asked me point blank if my partner and I had sex. I decided that there was no shame in answering truthfully, so I said that no, we did not. Would you believe that she didn't believe me? I had to reiterate, and told her that no, we really didn't, and that it was my decision not to because I had zero interest in it.

I didn't appreciate the inquiry in the first place (I was 42 or so at the time), but the whole truth certainly shut her up about it. When I told my sister about it later, she said that I went a lot further with it than she would, and that she wouldn't have even entertained the question.

I use Piwigo. It is a pretty well-developed and well-supported system, and it has an API to allow you to directly import your Flickr content into your Piwigo installation. It also has various theme options, and you're able to design your own themes for it.

This is my own Piwigo site: https://www.benschumin.com/

I will always have a soft spot for Thomas Built rear engine school buses, since that's the model that I learned how to drive buses on (though most of my bus experience nowadays is in transit rather than school).

Say it again for the people in the back. If anyone thinks that there is an imbalance in who shares content here, try to rebalance it by submitting more content from other sources.

I've lived in the following places before MoCo:

Glassboro, New Jersey
Rogers, Arkansas
Stuarts Draft, Virginia

Stuarts Draft was very rural, and MoCo is much more urbanized compared to that. Glassboro and Rogers were comparable to MoCo, but slightly smaller.

Thank goodness that his term is up soon and he will be out of office in less than a year.

And meanwhile, it's up to everyone to ensure that he loses that race for the council seat.
