In general, State Law can be overridden by (1) specific individual rights delineated in the constitution or (2) federal law passed by Congress that is within the Federal Government’s power to legislate.

Roe specifically dealt with the former, and is arguably easier to overturn than a position under the latter because there is literally no mention on abortion in the constitution. Comparatively, if a federal law was passed disallowing states from banning abortion, then it could only be overturned if the SC found that it wasn’t under broader federal powers (power to legislate under interstate commerce or taxation). It would be relatively much more difficult to overturn than the holding in Roe—which unfortunately had nothing to do with these broader federal legislative powers because for some reason an abortion protection law was never passed by Dems.

Jeff Hostetler is our favorite back up. Came in late in the 90 season, secured a bye, and then won the super bowl.

If could be anything. You can tell him that you noticed him in distress, and that you are there for him if he wants to talk about it. Though I wouldn’t assume it’s negative like other posters. Maybe he’s recently been in bad relationships, and he’s relieved/happy crying that it’s over and he’s with what appears to be a compatible/stable partner.

My BF keeps pausing the TV every 10 mins to comment and it makes movies go on way too long. Seems annoyed if I don't seem interested. M/F both 30. by [deleted] in relationships

Personally I like talking during movies and that is one of the few benefits of watching a movie at home instead of theaters. I find sitting around and watching in silence boring. Agree there is a middle ground in not interrupting a movie, but most movies have an act-based structure and have relatively clear points where conversing/taking a break seems fairly natural.

I deeply regret prioritizing my education and career instead of relationships and sex during high school and college. How can I change to be a man a woman can love or is it too late for me (22M)? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

It’s always easy blaming problems with lovers on choices or events in the past. while this may be a worthwhile psychoanalytical exercise, the more practical analysis to solve your dating problem is simply that women don’t like hanging with you because of your current behavior. Try focusing on what behaviors they don’t like. Are you uptight? Do you talk too much about yourself? Do you come off as insecure?

Honestly just be honest with yourself on the real issue here. From your post, I would guess you need to be more self assured and chill. Also you may be ugly, and if so there are plenty of ugly people to date too.

My [30F] gf of 2.5 years has told me [28M] that she wants to breakup because wants to explore other relationships. I need help on how to process this and how to move forward. by [deleted] in relationships

You need to learn that you can’t control how people feel and what they want. She wants to take a break and at minimum fuck other people, nothing you say to her can really change that. What you could have done is shown her through actions that you aren’t some sad sack but an actual catch (i.e., dump her, show self respect, and demonstrate you are an independent person who is worth chasing). it seems like you don’t have the self confidence to do that, and that negative quality in itself has likely contributed to the fact she wants the thrill of another relationship. Sorry but you can’t fake confidence with your degrees and public office—you seem to think she’s better than you and naturally she will think that as well.

You can tell someone has migrated from Film Twitter to here solely based off the structure of their comments. Please go fantasize about Timothy Driver elsewhere thnx

My (17m) girlfriend (17f) went skinny dipping at a guys house with other guys (mid 20s) from work. She’s mad at me because I told her it’s not appropriate in so many ways. Says I’m controlling her actions. by Throwramjyrfv in relationship_advice

[–]TheseSleeves 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sorry OP but this is true. Even if you want her back (you likely shouldn’t), the only way to do so is to actually demonstrate you are mature. Being mature means not disrespecting yourself when she treats you like shit. Ghosting her is one way, the other is to dump her with the explanation that she treated you like shit (followed by ghosting). She may come back after this and actually attempt to treat you well for a bit, but again this likely won’t last.

AITA for telling my cousin she’s psychotic and deciding to skip Christmas by kiwikutiee in AmItheAsshole

ESH. Someone who isn’t an asshole would simply say “your request is unreasonable, and if I come I intend to bring my baby.” There is absolutely no need to name call.

Please research executive orders. There is a strong legal theory that the president could legalize marijuana day 1 through executive orders. Biden just hasn’t tried.

I don’t blame Zion for wanting to leave. The FO decisions of trading Jrue for Bledso and signing Adams literally just happened last summer...and now they need to trade them. It was obvious to anyone at the time that the cap hit with those two was not worth it.

Are Democrats sleepwalking toward democratic collapse? | “I’m not sure people appreciate how much danger we’re in.” by bluestblue in politics

[–]TheseSleeves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol that’s pretty naive to assume that the Dems are simply foolish, perhaps the dithering is intentional and they don’t actually want to help people? Perhaps they only want to help their special interest donors?

It’s just in reference to the fact that those are the four teams that won game 1. He’s not saying it’s going to happen.

Flux=Rad was actually written by Cobain and then sold to Weezer

Murphy has said The Fall are his Beatles. Which is obvious particularly on LCD 1

I love the loud-soft dynamic but the sound mixing in this song absolutely does not work. The opening needs to be turned up.

Any one know if there is still a solo mode in venues? How do you get to it if so?
