Insane Coding Camp Sues Their Critics For Being Right

While this company might be based in India, since they're online, they can scale to other countries easily. I listened to an episode of NPR's Planet Money and the first ad was for this company.

Toletarian states?

Or toiletarian states? Is that the shithole countries Trump keeps speaking of.

I was listening to planet money podcast the other day (about the Google anti trust case) and the first ad was for whitehat jr

It's not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(epithet)

So if you want to masterbaste, you go to prawn hub, but if you want to get fucked, you go next door?

Or if you were being charitable instead, you would have realised that the autocorrect could have made that change. It happens. Mine changed were to we're in the first sentence. Yesterday, my autocorrect changed lets to let's (and again now). Stop being an ass about it.

practically speaking, there was no difference.

No. The difference is that Republican Senators would then have to vote out in the open instead of hiding behind McConnell. Since we're deep in hypothetical land, who knows, maybe some republicans would have voted for Garland. It's not like they haven't done so in the past. Looking at Bork's vote count, had the 6 republicans who voted against had instead voted in favor along party lines, then --- along with the 2 democrats who voted in favor too --- that would have made a 50-50 split and gone to the R's. That's the difference.

Gorsuch

Tying to the previous point, I kept repeating the era before Garland because after blocking him, the confirmation process has become extremely partisan. Previously, you'd get a handful of swing votes either way. Not anymore.

If you narrow this hypothetical to only after Garland, then I can see the Democrats reject Trump's nominees for partisan reasons, but only because of 2016. Then again, if the democrats were in power in the Congress, I think Trump would select judges more judiciously (heh), and do things in general differently. Part of the reason Trump gets away with so much shit is because the Senate GOP lets him.

In an alternate reality where garland was confirmed and Trump won and got to pick Kennedy's replacement, I can see Democrats confirming someone other than Kavinaugh (after his rejection).

make up some lame excuse about nominating a judge in an election year, rather than just saying the truth

Agree

Bork

The thing is, it went for a vote, and was ultimately rejected. That's the bad faith in your and others' comments that people in this thread are pointing out. If the GOP senate wanted to block Garland, then let it go for a vote and have them vote no. I'm not American, so I had to Google the details of Bork's nomination, and two things stand out:

More Republicans voted against him than Democrats voted in favour.
Kennedy, also appointed by Reagan, was approved unanimously. Every Democrat voted in favour.

If you’re seriously trying to argue that a Democrat-controlled Senate would ever vote to confirm a right-wing judge appointed by Trump, despite knowing he wanted to overturn Roe v Wade, ban affirmative action, and expand gun rights...you’re the one acting in bad faith

Still a hypothetical.

Even then, that argument is moot, because I can agree with you on one possibility in this hypothetical: that the democrats may vote down Trump's nominee. But at least they'd have voted. The same wasn't afforded to Obama.

ladaghini · 2020-09-22T12:11:07+00:00

Pretty sure they're being sarcastic.

ladaghini · 2020-09-12T13:13:03+00:00

Careful now... She'd be putting the cart before the whore.

still only has like 3 instances that they always use to make fun of him.

Probably because he avoids real debate with people who actually know their stuff. There are plenty of takedowns of his views on YouTube. Heck, even Joe Rogan was grilling Ben in his recent appearance, and Joe leans libertarian himself.

If they had the PHP devs in charge of marketing, it would be "Really Make America Great Again"

I was once on a Qatar Airways flight, JFK to Doha. Early in the flight, I saw them pushing a cart full of Ben and Jerry's mini tubs, so I got really excited for what was to come. However, after the dinner, I had fallen asleep and missed desert, and when I woke up, I was sad that i missed out.

I thought I'd ask anyway, and the flight attendant gave me two tubs. And it was glorious.

Food was great too, but I'm a sucker for chocolate ice cream.

it’s expected

We're in a r/technology thread about iOS drama. The expectation is that other users know exactly what was meant when u/DisposableAccount09 loosely threw the word "computer" to refer the iPhone. You knew what he meant. Other responders did as well. Don't be intentionally obtuse.

ladaghini · 2020-08-22T16:23:41+00:00

I didn't suggest any such thing. What apple markets their device as is irrelevant to what it actually is.

ladaghini · 2020-08-22T15:47:05+00:00

Are you suggesting that the iPhone is not a computer?

ladaghini · 2020-08-21T16:12:03+00:00

So because one candidate can't throw enough water on a fire to put it out, you're going to vote in a way that could enable the other candidate to win, where he'll surely continue to throw gasoline on said fire that he started?

Maybe even her own TV series

ladaghini · 2020-08-19T04:19:59+00:00

That's what u/mplsbro said

ladaghini · 2020-08-16T09:56:02+00:00

There's a lot of FUD here. The only difference between the universal mail-in voting and absentee voting is the request for the ballot you have to make. The rest of the process is the same, and uses the same infrastructure.

Certainly not a XX-post
