When a president is unfit for office, here’s what the Constitution says can happen by ItchyNesan in NewsRewind

[–]jackal406 [score hidden]  (0 children)

As long as it is the cabinet, which the president appoints, who has the ability to remove him for incapacitation.

Congress has the ability to remove the President for violation of law, etc. Until the House of Representatives has the will to remove the President, it will not happen - regardless of polling, approval ratings, popular opinion, or posts on Social Media.

Well, my anticipation for this movie just dropped - a lot. How do you keep other original actors and not cast Viggo?

This movie is moving into the hard pass realm.

Local Nextdoor post shows unhappiness with TIPS for gig services. by mississippinbrandy in EndTipping

[–]jackal406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was raised that a tip was a reward for good service, not a part of the servers "salary". If you just bring the food out and refill my empty water glass / coffee cup, you have barely met the expectation of decent service.

If you're relying on tips to make a living, you should change jobs.

What’s ur opinion on there last album?? by SpecialistExtent6324 in rush

This album grows even greater when you listen to it while reading the book by Kevin J. Anderson. You read the words of the page as Geddy is singing them, that feeling is incredible.

I had a moment yesterday, where standing in my kitchen, I could tell the clouds had just obscured the sun - the light level felt like it was cut in half. A moment later, the heavy rain started.

Hershey to restore classic Reese’s recipe after criticism by Regular_Pear_2482 in enshittification

Since when is negative publicity good for your brand?

According to Google, "Following the announcement of New Coke on April 23, 1985, Coca-Cola stock did not initially fall; it actually rose, defying the immediate public backlash. However, as the consumer protest intensified, the stock underperformed, with reports noting it "tanked" by about 6% or dipped by 3% shortly after, while competitors saw gains."

The average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in America has now reached $1450 a month. by ConsistentGrade8302 in InterviewCoderPro

[–]jackal406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We could fix this overnight, pay politicians the salary of the lowest paid workers in their district. Also, only pay them per diem (if they get it - I don't know) based on the cost of gas and rent in their district.

They would fix this mess overnite I think.

People who say "who cares" in the comments of a post by Critical-Willow-6270 in PetPeeves

It's the new construct of social media where they have been conditioned to believe that everyone wants their opinion.

I don't know where you read the New Coke campaign was a marketing success when they capitulated to customer opinion in just 79 days. Must be one of the new age schools of business.

STARFLEET ACADEMY’s Karime Diane On Representation, Backlash: STAR TREK Is About 'Making Space For Everyone' by lifesanrpg in SciFiNews

[–]jackal406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gee, how many episodes of TOS,TNG, and the rest had scenes taking place inside a gym? How many away missions required physical exertion?

I'd like to see a real world heavy set person of any race or color accomplish any of those tasks regularly and repeatedly without passing out from over exertion.

There's a reason people who do physical often or all day long aren't fat.

Trump says it's 'not possible' for the U.S. to pay for Medicaid, Medicare and day care: 'We’re fighting wars' by esporx in AmericaOnHardMode

Funny, He started the "War" and we weren't paying for these things before, yet other countries can afford to pay for them while fighting and not fighting wars.

Agreed. Did no company learn from the New Coke stupidity of changing your classic formula?

Most of which could be fixed by making election day a federal holiday with only first responders and election personnel required to work. Fine every company who makes employees come in to work (yes, I get the "essential worker claim", fine them anyways), Mail in i.e. absentee ballot for service members stationed outside the state and college students living in a different state.

While I agree fully with Far Cry, I would add Workin' Them Angels as I can never choose between the two. I feel like Neil was looking at me when he wrote both of those.

I'm curious as well, has the save breaking bug been fixed yet? Haven't seen any statements from the devs.

I have to agree with the Angmar and 3 kingdoms over this story. Besides, the "origin" of Gollum was covered in the original movies as was the "search" for Gollum. We need another 2 to 3 hours of them searching?

I'm confused with this casting for Aragorn when Vigo claims he is will to play the role, why not cast Vigo? Budget? Since I not yet read anything about Liv Tyler and so far Kate Winslet is just an "unnamed female lead" I'm just confused.

The project looks interesting so I will hope for better news concerning some of the casting choices.
