Irremarkable

Yknow here’s the thing.

I distinctly remember telling myself “don’t type Dutch” because I always say one when I mean the other.

God I love how Dutch is essentially just how I talk after I’ve had a pint too many. If I can ever get a hand on German, Dutch is the next language on my list.

This will be his legacy. Opening the door wide open to the wolves and supporting the worst genocide since Rwanda. And he deserves it.

An old white man with cancer that he announced a month ago. He should be focusing on his treatment, not adding more to his plate.

Probably the single benefit of him being as old as he is. He had polio as a kid. He knows exactly how bad that shit is. He might be a stupid, evil motherfucker, but even he isn’t that stupid.

That doesn’t much matter when the psychotic theocrats are going to be the ones in the positions of power

Am I going crazy or is that link going to an entirely different article than the post title (Trump’s threat to impose tariffs could raise prices for consumers, colliding with promise for relief)

Could be a federation issue between lw and mbin?

Edit: Seems to be the case. Weird.

There is no practical difference when SCOTUS will rubber stamp things

Practical differences are what matter.

What has SCOTUS possibly done to show that they won’t rubber stamp each and every thing he does.

Edit: That’s not to say the tariffs are going to go through. I’m not sure they will. Rule #1 is you do not fuck with the bag and this is just about the definition of fucking with the bag

It’s literally in the first sentence

Maine Republican lawmaker Lucas Lanigan won re-election to the state House by a single vote after a recount

the English proficiency of young people in the country is stagnant compared to other countries and regions.

Seems like my gut was right, that it’s less because they’re regressing, and more because other countries have been increasing theirs.

Sometimes I truly do love the absurdity of my country

It was just more convenient to put it in my Plex server.

Honestly. I probably have a fully legal way of accessing 95% of what I watch. It’s a helluva lot easier to just not go through the hassle of figuring out which one of the 97 streaming services that specific show is on.

Yeah I’m sure I’d probably be using chatgpt these days if I were still in school instead of paying the frankly stupid amount Chegg cost.

I imagine it varies quite a bit depending on the subject and who’s doing the answers. There were 3 or 4 answer authors that I learned to recognize as consistently quite good in the areas I needed it in.

I guess I had a much different experience with Chegg than most.

For a handful of my classes, it was the only way to consistently get similar problems with worked out solutions. I’m not going to pretend I never was lazy and used it to cheat, but most of my usage was of problems I wasn’t assigned so I could see how they were done.

That said, I can’t speak as to how they pay the people that actually do the work, that may be a whole can of worms that I really probably should’ve looked into when I was using it.

Turns out being a racist shithead is in no way determined by your race or ethnicity.

We can’t either

I should have clarified. I mean silly (fun) not silly (ridiculous)

The most likely path at this point is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, a collection of state legislative measures, state constitutional amendments, etc. aimed at using the electoral college against itself. The very short tldr is once >=270 electoral votes worth of states have passed something enacting it, all those states’ delegates will vote in line with the national popular vote regardless of how their individual state votes, forcing the popular vote winner to be president.

Whether or not it’ll survive judicial challenge if/when it gets to >=270 electoral votes worth of states is entirely unclear. In theory, there’s nothing they should be able to do about it, but SCOTUS has shown time and time again it doesn’t actually give a fuck about the constitution.

Hell, a large portion of us outside of grad and hexbear don’t exactly like Harris. Sure is a helluva lot better than a bald faced fascist though.
