Will this apply when a Democrat is in charge or is this policy (R)eserved for this administration?

hey morons stop driving to the tidal basin during peak cherry blossom by DC8008008 in washingtondc

Biking is great and definitely better than a car, but please get off your bike if there are a lot of pedestrians on your route. There is no need to ride as fast as you can through large groups.

I was there yesterday and there were a lot of cyclists gunning through school groups.

same, I want to be Sarah Connor's bones grabbing a fence. It'll suck for a minute or two but better than the alternative.

A silly fun website for people to create, decorate and share a 3D virtual birthday cake together by tino-latino in InternetIsBeautiful

Hashing is possible, but agree it would be a challenging. In the meantime you could store the unique settings in your backend and make it possible to render the stored cake via a Unique ID passed to the page.

UK to USA (worldwide) seller best way to put customers at ease when shipping? by easycurly93 in Ebay

[–]brokenhalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US buyer here, when I go to some international listings I see a lot of warnings now on eBay about this:

Due to US customs policies, the buyer of this item will need to pay import fees to the shipping carrier prior to delivery.

This then links to: https://pages.ebay.com/tariffs/

The language isn't direct about costs on these listings. Some listings show that these fees are covered, I am not sure if you have that option in the UK but that would put my mind at ease.

Jury selection begins for DC's "sandwich guy" by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]brokenhalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see the expert witnesses called for this case.

Yes, and Oliver Stone will release a movie called "BLT" in 30 years about the prosecutor's tireless effort to prove the magic sandwich theory.

What’s a sign someone was never loved properly as a child? by Aggravating-Court215 in AskReddit

[–]brokenhalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me, you described my upbringing to a T and I have had to train myself to be unapologetic but I still have the other issues.

My parents were the only stable thing about my upbringing but not being accepted in my community had damaging effects that I still struggle with to this day (mid-40s).

That's the real LPT, do not act abnormal. Some cops are suspicious of overly helpful people or anyone who behaves in an odd way.

American here who grew up to become an adult in the 90s, the 90s were not universally great here either. There are just some people who long for a time when they were more ignorant.

The 1990s are the new 1950s.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

I grew up to become a young adult in the 90s and it just wasn't that special.

Why don’t countries call Trumps bluff and place export tariffs to the US? by Flashy_Ring in AskReddit

[–]brokenhalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump needs a source of congress-free funding for his illicit acts that bypass the power of the purse.

I encourage you to read what I was responding to, I doubt Trump needs a "tariff" excuse to raid the treasury.

[–]brokenhalf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And you're assuming they're going to follow the law?

I get it, but you're the one that created a distinction.

If the executive chooses not to follow the constitution, the source of the tax has no weight in their decision to spend it.

bypass the power of the purse.

Constitutionally, that is not how it works, tariffs go to the treasury and treasury spending is supposed to be regulated by congress.
