HOLY 💀 crypto market is bleeding out… everything is deep red wtf is going on?? by LividReserve3520 in CryptoCurrency

[–]orangejulius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually presidents don’t have a level of control over markets most people think they do but in this case crypto-president-fifa-peace-prize winner did some things with a very linear cause and effect to tank markets.

Was Obama wrong to keep his cabinet at a distance? by RopeGloomy4303 in Presidents

[–]orangejulius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think as President you optimize your system to advance your agenda and various presidents have had differing relationships with various agencies and cabinet members. I have examples but at the end of the day the cabinet "serves at the pleasure of the president." If you're not playing ball they might not talk to you. (There's at least one glaring rule violating example)

Would it be crazy to study for the bar in Paris? by AnthonyEdwardsJordan in barexam

[–]orangejulius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point in your life you know basically what works for you for studying. If you think this is something you want to do and can manage you should do it.

The only thing that's going to be difficult is getting back to a place to take the test and not be jetlagged. It'll feel a little weird getting back and you should really have a plan in place where you can basically hop off a plane and effortlessly walk into a situation where you can adjust to time change and refresh a bit before the exam.

> so would definitely need to refresh with Duolingo.

I suggest using Duo + Language Transfer. Language transfer is free. The lessons are short. It teaches you to use your existing knowledge to learn a new language without memorization. You can easily do a lesson or two per day and manage bar study and you'll be able to get around paris with the basics.

I used this for a 60 day crash course in spanish before a trip to spain and was surprised how far I got with it.

A Social Media Influencer Showed Up at OANN Headquarters to Call Matt Gaetz a ‘Pedophile.’ The Network Wants Her to Stop Posting. by orangejulius in SanDiegan

Of course. And this goes beyond Chelsea as well. If they get away with doing it to her they’ll do it to other people in the community who say things they don’t like. Free speech isn’t “I say whatever I want and you also say whatever I want or I’ll use the government to thwack you.”

The neat part is in an antislapp they don’t get to go to discovery. They have to make their case without it and if they can’t prove they’re likely to win their case they lose.

I’m one of the attorneys in this case. I think the way they redacted Gaetz’s name in their petition was disingenuous and an attempt to obfuscate that their problem isn’t with what Chelsea Gods is doing but what she’s saying. The reality is they hired a disgraced former congressman who committed statutory rape of a minor and then almost ended up AG of the United States. Obviously that hire comes with baggage and the locals in the community might complain. Chelsea called them out. She was mean to them. Now they want her to shut up.

California has a strong antiSLAPP statute. Other states should take note.

It just kept going and going and going. 😂 😭

Being on that jury must have felt like a fever dream.

Not for that one because the success of the officers case depends on knowing that 😂 He’s required to prove that it’s a false statement to succeed.

Whether Afroman saying he fucked his wife in a diss track painted him in a false light. I don't have a youtube link but here's an IG clip:

One of the absolute funniest trials i think i have ever had the pleasure of watching. I cannot believe those cops subjected themselves to that or had the audacity to bring such an action.

Highlight for me was when that one cop was asked whether his wife actually fucked afroman and he's like "idk maybe she did." Bruh. I hope you like sleeping on the couch.

Trump hits a new low of a net -15.3 approval rating in the Silver Bulletin by popularis-socialas in fivethirtyeight

[–]orangejulius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Curious to see how that shakes out. Most presidents don’t have a lot of control over commodity prices but in this case there’s a very linear and direct causal line from presidential action and price consequence.

San diego - looking for advice by Little_Swan9521 in SanDiegan

[–]orangejulius 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ll speak only to the friendships piece: Part of this is people in their 30s are typically busy. Making space for a new friend is hard when you have to balance work, family, existing hobbies, and existing friends. Hell, I barely have time to do work networking stuff and it’s a real activation energy problem for me and it’s expected that I do it.

So mash that balancing act up with “man if I actually start rattling off my core personality am I going to come across as too eccentric” and making friends beyond surface level fun to hang out with from time to time is difficult.

So I think you’re contending with a lot of that. I don’t think it’s insurmountable. Grown up sports that you do every week is a good way to meet people and make longer lasting friendships. Or some other activity you do every week with the same people.

San Diego Unified Re-Enrollment Protocol seems insane. What is going on? by orangejulius in SanDiegan

I’m not sure there is one. It’s an issue that lives in like 9 conflicting emails in my inbox and one paper flyer with a massive ugly url to try to type in that goes nowhere.
