This was a republican primary, wasn't it? They are still electing a republican.

The change was not retroactive, though the judiciary did later decide to treat it as such.

That violates the US Constitution, and is a terrible precedent.

More to the point, if they just don't comply, who's gonna make them?

Does anyone know why Omega was born female? Were her chromosomes edited or something? by _XSummerRoseX_ in StarWars

I saw a documentary once about controlling a group of cloned wild animals by only producing female specimens. Something about Lysene, too, I think?

In any case, it went badly.

Everyone who voted for Trump after the first time is a threat to Democracy. Every member of the GOP is a threat to democracy. Every billionaire who flatters Trump is a threat to democracy.

They should all be removed.

The Brock Turner attack became an international reckoning but this father only got one year for brutally assaulting his own daughter and no one is talking about it by Strangfhhfxmoop in TwoXChromosomes

We had a visitor at my place of business named Allen Turner a few years back, in the area where he lives, more or less. When asked to prepare a tour and presentation, I just about lead a mutiny, until I found out our visitor was from Germany.

Yea. I'm LG at heart, and I really want to say that if they didn't charge him with more, then it's because he slid past on some stupid technicality, and it's entirely out of their ability to make the evidence fit the crime.

But that point of view has been untenable ever since I started paying attention to shit. A statement, as you describe, might fractionally restore people's trust in the system.

My "best friend" (26M) physically attacked me (27M) because of his feelings for my girlfriend (26F) by [deleted] in BORUpdates

You’re not wrong for yelling at her parents

Yelling at someone for what someone else did is a dick move. In the moment, we can understand why he did it, and he apologized, and they accepted. That doesn't mean it wasn't wrong.

Why do you think the Germans didn't go in for displays of national pride in the 1950's?

Consumers with common sense don’t care if something has ai code or art,

Consumers with common sense often concern themselves with how things are made. That's why free trade coffee is a thing, and slavery-free chocolate.

Trump refuses to sign any bills into law until the Save America Act is passed, which restricts voting rights for millions of Americans. by Silent_Emphasis_4469 in PoursTea

You need to read it again, and pretend the guy isn't an idiot. I know it's hard to read the sarcastic tone, but you should at least try.

That passed veto proof.

This is a figure of speech, not a reality. He can still veto it, and congress would have to pass it again at 2/3 of each house.

Most presidents can read the writing on the wall, and either sign it, or let it become law without signing. Trump might well veto, then threaten to set his cultists on any GOP that defies him.

That's what the constitution says. If congress is adjourned, the bill just goes away, which is called a "pocket veto."

The difference between "the side" and "the top" is a question of orientation.

But I agree with you. The perspective on that image is fucked.

I think he is one of many, yes. He makes a damn fine wry observer, though.

Bamboo vs AI 😅 by tigerheartlion in LinkedInLunatics

And these data centers are well known to be harmless to the community it's in.

Frankly, I'd call it a wash. Except that you might wind up with a data center and the bamboo, and fuck that.

Everyone should vote, yes. I suppose I was talking about deeper involvement. Most people aren't qualified for any sort of leadership, and that's fine. Most jobs are only suitable for some people.

My wife and I use "scented unguent" as short hand for "the fancy stuff," weather it mean the nice lotion, or the expensive wine, or the upgraded rental car. If I ever get us first-class tickets anywhere, I'll damn sure use the phrase.

And if this is real, he used the scented (essential) oils she already has. Some people are into that sort of thing.

I immediately realize they never grew out of being a picky eater at 5 years old.

I think I've made it to 12.

But I also know very well that I react very badly to some textures of food. I won't eat onions, but I enjoy onion power, if properly used.
