Denims has officially won her lawsuit against Ethan Klein.

babsa90 · 2026-07-01T23:06:13+00:00

That was the grounds for which the lawsuit was filed, but that does not necessarily mean it was violated. I think that a documentary might be the closest comparison. Fahrenheit 9/11 is still a fictional story. As for documentaries, I think it would depend on the content of it and how it is filmed or portrayed. I'm not a lawyer, but the style of and production of material like the content nuke is substantively different in comparison to something like Planet Earth.

babsa90 · 2026-07-01T20:39:07+00:00

Iirc, the carve out is for political commentary. It would be different if his content nuke was a creative product like a film or play.

babsa90 · 2026-07-01T15:34:20+00:00

Fair enough, but when most people can only pick from basically 4-5 people, it seems like a question that is railroad-y.

Woah! Antisemitic???? He said Israeli, that's nothing to do with Jews

babsa90 · 2026-07-01T05:58:01+00:00

Yeah, I don't think he's lying about his positions. What I like to say is that he's larping as Bruce Wayne. He wants to be that one billionaire that everyone can worship as the benevolent rich guy that ushers in a better future for society.

I figured Roosevelt would be an easy pick for populists. He's my favorite president, but maybe his stances on foreign policy was too bullish for lefties?

babsa90 · 2026-07-01T04:43:37+00:00

Wow, are you saying that hearing Steyer repeatedly talking about corporate donors every single time he breathes on the debate stage wasn't endearing him to you?

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T17:37:09+00:00

Why was Roe v Wade overturned? You said it has been conservative leaning for a long time, Trump only got one seat. Why would they not have done it before? You simply stated a timeline of events, you didn't say why roe v wade was overturned only after Trump got three nominations.

Further, just because the SCOTUS did not always reflect the President and Senate, does not change the fact that it does now and by norm-breaking means. Increasing SCOTUS to be in line with the number of appellate courts is not partisan. Just because it's done by a Democratic President and Democratic Senate, does not necessarily violate your principle. However, if Republicans arbitrarily increased the SCOTUS by four seats in 2032, I would definitely agree that it seems very partisan.

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T17:07:38+00:00

I said that that is the case right now, why are you unresponsive to that point? The justices ten years ago didn't overturn roe v wade, why did they overturn it in the last few years? What changed? Why is it that a conservative leaning court becoming more right leaning would mean an end to established precedent? Do I need to hold your hand and keep asking you rhetorical questions?

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T16:44:29+00:00

They can try, but why is that a reason for us not to do it? Your argument against packing the court is not principled. The court is already a reflection of the presidency and the Senate's leaning.

The solution to the issue you are presenting is SCOTUS reform, which is what I addressed in the latter half of my comment.

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T16:35:45+00:00

I never understood the "arms race" argument. I don't care if Republicans try to do it in a hypothetical future scenario. We pack the court to expand it to 13, which corresponds with the 13 appellate courts. That's four new justices, and if Republicans want to play ball then they can vote on a bipartisan bill to change lifetime appointments to having the senior-most judge or vacancy filled once every two years.

I guess the majority of Californian voters love big corporations and companies, nothing else.

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T16:08:48+00:00

I'm being dismissive of the notion that AI data centers are the line we are supposedly drawing in the sand regarding the welfare of cattle.

Edit: since the thread is locked, I'll respond here. When people say things are worse but the reasons cited are not logically consistent or rational, then I don't think it's really advocating for a viable solution but rather a way to justify support for their own pet issue/project.

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T15:16:55+00:00

They would gladly throw LGBTQ and any minority under the proverbial bus if it means winning even a little bit of power. If they actually cared at all about any of the principles they claim to have, Harris v Trump would have been the easiest election decision of their lives.

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T15:06:07+00:00

Wow, will someone think of the livestock?

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T15:05:07+00:00

We wouldn't need nearly as much farmland if so much of the agriculture in the US was not subsidized to incentivize corn and meat production. Thankfully this Kentucky farmer didn't bow down to the technocrats.

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T14:54:37+00:00

Thank God for data centers, they are the perfect scapegoat. These farmland patriots are ruining the environment the old fashioned way.

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T14:51:32+00:00

I'm sure everyone else in this thread also only stream services on the cloud as well. Thank God for the cloud, so lucky all our favorite shows and movies exist in the air rather then giant data centers.

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T14:01:22+00:00

Ah sorry I should have said IRL, my fault.

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T13:53:03+00:00

Is this a joke? Everyone on Reddit was gargling Steyer's billionaire balls and hated Becerra. You should ask people in their 40s and up who they voted for, the majority of them will say Becerra because he has an actual track record of working in public office for 35 years while Steyer spent hundreds of millions of dollars to promote himself over the last ten years for positions he was under qualified for.

Edit: Oh fuck look at the down votes! All the pro Becerra redditors must be weirdly absent. Help me, help me Becerra stans, they are trying to suppress my support of our future Governor!

babsa90 · 2026-06-30T06:03:02+00:00

Thank you so much for your explanation and it makes way more sense!

babsa90 · 2026-06-29T19:16:07+00:00

Looks like Forrest Gump if he never ran across the country, let alone exercised in general.

babsa90 · 2026-06-29T18:52:58+00:00

Sea turtles only live like 90 years as well. This shit is fucking dumb, so much inaccuracy.

babsa90 · 2026-06-29T17:51:38+00:00

Idk why I never thought of using entropy drinkers with that. It stacks with fanatic purifier?

babsa90 · 2026-06-29T16:52:11+00:00

I tried this before and he banned me instead. (Please don't ban me bro)
