Irremarkable

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

They’re goofy but in a cute cartoony way. I love them.

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.

It’s togglable

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’d imagine Steam is going to be the smallest share of sales for this game by a fairly large margin.

Frankly it is. It’s a shame you’ve deluded yourself into believing otherwise.

Delusion is not the answer to doom and pessimism. You prepare for the worst, you hope for the best, and you keep doing the best you can with the things you have. But you sure as fuck do not delude yourself.

There’s a difference between optimism and delusion

Optimism is good

Delusion is not

The optimistic view is that’s the worst that happens.

Your mistake is assuming the actual definition of “a fair way” and what Trump means by it are not so far apart from each other it’s not even funny.

For him the “fair way” for Ukraine is for them to submit and lick Putin’s boot, and have their eastern regions subjected to the full scale cultural genocide already in effect.

For him the “fair way” for Palestine is naked ethnic cleansing and genocide.

So yeah, it would in fact not be awesome for those things to happen.

E: grammar

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.

Not really. It’s a godsend for long bus/train/plane/whatever rides to be able to have dozens of old quality AAA games in your pocket. A controller very easily fits in a backpack, and there’s plenty that’ll fit in a pocket.

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.

I like how one of their points of evidence is a only kinda sort of expensive camper trailer. Yeah, I’m perfectly fine with the people maintaining a public resource like that being able to go on camping trips lmao.

You say that as if the DNCs campaign strategy wasn’t to absolutely abandon the left and try to court “moderate republicans”, which we very obviously just learned don’t actually exist.

From what I understand, it primarily stems from that first stipulation, specifically from points 1 and 4 of the Helsinki Accords

(1) Sovereign equality, respect for the rights inherent in sovereignty (4) Territorial integrity of states

That said, it was very clearly done in a way that didn’t actually guarantee that protection, and assuming that the Ukrainians thought otherwise is frankly an insult to their intelligence.
