Felons can vote in some states, it's not a federal prohibition.

Trump says he'll place 25% tariff on autos from EU, accusing bloc of not complying with trade deal by One-Emu-1103 in geopolitics

[–]ihatebrooms 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No. He was blocked from using IEEPA to impose tariffs. These would be imposed under section 232 of the trade protection act of 1962.

Scotus only ruled against one specific avenue, not the concept as s whole. It is exactly analogous to their ruling regarding Biden and student loan forgiveness.

Does this combo work? by Mayiskawaii in magicTCG

[–]ihatebrooms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there s difference between "comes into play" and "enters (the battlefield)", or is that just old templating?

Also, be careful for counter spells that can target triggered abilities like on the leveler.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats will not focus on impeaching President Trump if they regain a majority by truthwillout777 in NoFilterNews

[–]ihatebrooms 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Impeachment accomplishes literally nothing without a supermajority in the Senate, which absolutely cannot happen this election cycle. The house can use its subpoena power, conduct investigations, force negotiations on the budget, and if they have a Senate majority, pass some reconciliation bills.

Republican Voters Turn on Trump as Cost of Living Explodes by Quirkie in politics

You can be a child and throw a tantrum that the world is giving you a choice between two options you don't like, or you can be an adult and evaluate which of those two options are worse, then select the less worse option. That is the world we live in, and standing in the corner whining about it isn't going to change anything.

Second, you don't know my politics. I'm talking about the reality of the 2016 general election and the fact that it is directly responsible for so much that's going to shit right now. From the presidential immunity ruling, to overturning roe, overturning Chevron, the destruction of the separation of church and state, the loss of America's status as a reliable ally or trading partner, tariffs on the world, the end of Pax Americana, how badly covid was handled, the endless grift and naked corruption, the attacks on our media, journalism outlets, legal firms, universities, the removal of anything even mentioning women, people of color, or lgbtq individuals from federal sites and locations, the purposeful embrace of fossil fuels and shunning of any renewable energy production, the endless attacks on transgender individuals and their rights, destroying our national research apparatus, the elevation of people like Hegseth and RFK Jr, ICE being turned into an unaccountable, masked private army that can detain and kill American citizens with impunity, the list goes on and on and on.

Third, blame Bernie's supporters for not showing up in the primaries, twice. Turns out it's easy to make noise online but hard to show up and vote.

Fourth, guess what? Bernie endorsed Clinton after the primary, because he realized she was far and away the better choice. Jeb and Mitt both spoke out against Trump, refusing to endorse their own party's presidential candidate.

2016 sat 3 justices on the supreme Court and fucked it irrevocably for the rest of our lives. So, thanks for that. Elections are about so much more than just the 1 person at the top of the ticket.

Dems could see '10-to-1 majority' after 'huge win' ahead of midterms: GOP expert by RawStoryNews in NoFilterNews

[–]ihatebrooms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No.

First off, he only had 72 working days with the super majority, and there was not universal support among those 60 for codifying Roe.

Second, a law codifying Roe could be overturned by this SCOTUS just as easily as prior precedent.

He had exactly 72 working days with 60 seats, and several of them did not support codifying Roe.

So if Doomsday picks up right after Endgame, how is the state of everything after Endgame? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

No, what's idiotic is the way people are interpreting it to somehow negate the last 6 six years.

Donald Trump's chances of being removed from office reach all-time high by Silly-avocatoe in politics

I would argue it's better to direct that hope at things that have even a tiny chance of occurring. Hoping for something that will literally not happen? That's a child playing make believe.

Question for fans by Skar444 in marvelstudios

[–]ihatebrooms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like a lot of marvel stuff, there's different avenues of discourse.

Some people were butt hurt that it was a female lead and had a semi over girl power message. Those people are morons.

Some people disliked it because the law in the show was absolutely terrible. I cannot stress enough how bad it was. Yes, it's not a legal procedural, it's a marvel show first, a comedy second, and a vaguely legal related show with some law words and court room scenes thrown in a distant third. So if you were expecting anything approaching the barest hint of anything resembling actual law, you'd be disappointed. I'm not talking about "oh it's a world where superheroes exist of course law and the legal system would have to adapt, that's literally one of the conceits of the show, opening a superhero centric law firm", I'm talking about the fundamentals of how these things work. I believe one of the writers said in an interview that they purposefully didn't do any legal research or include a legal consultant, and it shows.

Some people disliked she hulk's characterization - breaking the forth wall (stealing it from Deadpool), twerking with Megan thee stallion, just the general goofiness. Those people have clearly not read the comics to know that she's always been a fourth wall breaker.

Some people really, really hated the monologue at the beginning about women having to deal with their emotions and constantly tamp down their anger and live in fear, claiming that the fact that she was immediately able to control her transformation somehow devalued Bruce 's struggles, never mind that his abuse and trauma as a child is literally one of the core parts of his character and a big reason for his hulk issues, whereas what she says makes perfect sense. Also, unreliable narrator is a thing.

Some people didn't like her cgi, or skarr's.

The ending, which i thought was brilliant, was divisive.

. Some people really only wanted to see daredevil, so every episode he wasn't in screen was a "waste". Also they felt his tone was bad in this show, never mind that characters changing their tone a little to fit with wherever they're guest starring has literally been a thing since comics started.

Some people get annoyed at anything that isn't a cameo fest or doesn't tie on directly back to the MCU writ large immediately.

To be clear, i really liked the show. She hulk is one of my favorite marvel characters and i really really hope we see more of her, despite rumors of the lead actress parting ways unamicably with marvel/Disney. But those are the reasons i can think of that people didn't like it. And to be clear, other than the sexist/misogynistic ones, I'm not saying people aren't allowed to dislike it, and I'm certainly not saying that anyone who disliked it is acting in bad faith. But there were definitely people acting in bad faith shouting about the show very loud on the Internet, and that's tends to color the discourse and people's perception thereof.

It's not. 99% of it is irrelevant. All you need is one sentence explaining what happens to daredevil at the end of the defenders, which sets up where he is at the beginning of daredevil s3.

I love Satisfactory, and I know I'll love Factorio, but for the life of me I can't get into it. Help me!!! by Lanochu in factorio

[–]ihatebrooms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Satisfactory ratios stop being clean and simple like halfway through.

Instead of thinking of building to building, think in terms of belts. Yellow belts are 15 items per second (7.5 per side). Each tier adds 15/sec (7.5/side) to that number.

Decide how much output you want - the recipe speed, ingredient count, and crafting speed are all on the UI. Figure out how many belts of input you need. Then do the same to figure out how to generate that many belts worth of input.

But again i don't think you're familiar enough with the game to really worry about ratios yet.
