Hence the Free Software Movement.

Either the “girliest” drink they have, or (more likely) a soft drink. I’m intrigued by cocktails and want to like them, but I never acquired a taste for alcohol.

*hanged.

“Hung” is a… different thing, which the male justices might see as a positive.

to change some of the rules around the court you need an amendment because they’re in the constitution (lifetime appointments, for instance.)

Or the President would need to use the new powers the court gave him on it, until the remaining justices decided to change the rules themselves.

The most effective way to get the word out would be a demonstration on Biden’s part. He could show how dangerous the power is and get rid of the traitorous fascists who created it at the same time.

Neat, let’s hope the state government doesn’t ratfuck them out of the referendum like the city is doing to us Atlantans over Cop City.

No, he’s talking about the other disastrous Supreme Court ruling another of the several disastrous Supreme Court rulings in the last few days, the one that struck down Chevron deference.

Edit: plural, unfortunately.

Yet, they keep acquiring other companies.

We need better laws, but we also really, really need to start enforcing the antitrust laws we already have again.

They’re pretty much all bad for the environment, just to different degrees. Even the “greener” refrigerant choices (which have suboptimal thermodynamic properties, BTW) are things like ammonia, carbon dioxide and propane.

Point is, don’t be cavalier about letting your refrigerant escape even if it isn’t R22.

Well, that’s because they’re generally blatantly lying about it.

I just wonder how many good people who deserve to be here are barred from a normal life in the US because of it

Well, about 1.8 million and a few generations worth of descendants is a good lower bound.

Another important part of the article:

But his announcement comes just weeks after he laid out a litany of hate messages he and his parliamentary staff had received.

His stated reasons for leaving would be more believable if there had been more time between the two announcements. I’m not saying he should stay longer if he doesn’t want to; I’m just saying it might’ve been better if he’d gone public about the hate earlier.

You’re kidding, right?

First of all, the Affordable Care Act was mostly just cheating off of Mitt Romney’s paper.

Second, Federal legislation in general is ghostwritten by lobbyists most of the time to begin with.

Third, of course they have manpower: they control their own budget and can vote themselves as much help as they want. If they choose not to do that, it’s hardly an excuse for failing to get shit done!

Fourth, even if the above weren’t true and they really did have to choose between the ACA and the other things mentioned upthread, prioritizing further enshrining insurance industry bureaucracy in its privileged position was absolutely the wrong choice.

What do you mean, “so insistent?” Check the username; that was my first reply to you in this thread.

Also, I said…

(in general – not about the Democrats or this issue specifically)

…and I meant it. I really am just pointing out the flaw in the “check the vote rolls” argument, not blaming Democrats!

Oh, by the way: no, I’m not insane. SCOTUS is insane. I’m just discussing the implications of their insane decision.

LOL, you’re just saying that because you can’t actually refute my point and you know it.

Prove me wrong, I dare you.

…but he does so without stuttering!

You’d think the incoherent rambling would count against him the same way, but the rules are always different for the one on the side of capital.

I am really getting tired of feeling obligated to hold normal people to a higher standard while the fascists gleefully spew a whatever shit seems opportune at the moment with no regard for the truth whatsoever… and are successful with that strategy!

Well golly gee, mister, if I’m so ignorant can you please explain to me how I’m wrong? Be specific, now!

If not, then by all means, please continue with your point-free ad-hominem attacks. It’s entertaining! 🍿
