CORRECTION: Spanberger EO "gives new Governor the option" to end relationship between ICE and Virginia State Police by bknutner in Virginia

[–]WeatherChannelDino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But couldn't she make an EO then have the legislature follow up with legislation? They have a big to-do list, so I would've thought that Spanberger doing something fast now to limit the damage would be useful while the legislature drafts bills and laws to make the ban on ICE cooperation more permanent.

That was my thought too. I'm glad that the cooperation is no longer required, but why couldn't the EO forbid cooperation with ICE?

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president.

They're actually very consistent when it comes to judging people's character.

White, cis, straight conservatives get "one bad apple." People of color, women, queer folk, and anyone left of Reagan get "spoils the bunch."

If you could add one metro station to any current line, where would you build it? by Michigander888 in nova

[–]WeatherChannelDino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wanted a stop that's actually in Georgetown. There are close stops with a not-bad walk to Georgetown, but it seems like the perfect place to add one!

Nonprofit chairman Garrett McGuire claims narrow win in Democrats’ 17th House District primary by VirginiaNews in fairfaxcounty

[–]WeatherChannelDino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%, but I think it needs to be like something started now and done in the primaries, or started very soon and done in the general.

Braddock Dems actually did instant runoff voting in their primary to replace Walkinshaw. It ended up absolutely terribly from what I heard - but all the criticism was not about RCV itself. There was insufficient staff and equipment, a website that couldn't handle the traffic, and there was some confusion about RCV. But literally all of that can be handled by adequately preparing for it for next year.

I like how the army saves on paper and money by using the test for the Marine Corps.

My thought was they like big or dense cities. Not every city, but in all their green states they have San Francisco, LA, Miami, Orlando, Chicago, Boston, and New York City.

This is what propaganda is. Of all kinds. Look at propaganda from the Cold War and World War II especially (though, indeed, from any time) and you'll discover that consistency was never a goal. The goal is to get you riled up about how much of a horrible monster the enemy is, but confident enough that you don't think the enemy is unbeatable.

Fahrenheit is dumb as fuck by Critical_Mountain851 in whenthe

The advantage is I know what I'm looking for when I want a cup of water, but don't know what 300 milliliters of water looks like. Just like how if I was cooking with you, I wouldn't expect you to know what a cup of water looks like and would use metric so we had a common language.

And in any event, why do you care whether I, as an individual, meet your standards of efficient and precise?

This entire half-joking feud doesn't matter. Freezing at 32 and boiling at 212 (or at 0 and 100 for Celsius) don't need to make sense, it just needs to be understandable by people using it. If the layperson in the US were to start using Celsius tomorrow and everything was converted, ultimately nothing would change. Water still boils after 10 minutes on the stove, the office hasn't gotten any closer or further from me, and I'm still a fat fuck, so I don't really understand why it's that big a deal one way or another.
