You’d probably get thrown in jail for contempt of court, but all you’d have to do as a defense attorney for this guy is get the family member of a cancer patient who got denied by UHC to testify and explain jury nullification. Surely 1 person in 12 would be willing to do the right thing.
The party refused to pressure Breyer & RBG to step down. Obama refused to play hardball with Garland.
Biden negotiated with himself and cut debt forgiveness to 10K. Then the SC strikes it down , and he throws his hands up and walks away. I’m old enough to remember when Trump’s obviously unconstitutional muslim ban got banned and he rewrote it and tried again until it stuck. It didn’t fully take until the third try. Then he expanded it twice.
[Edit: I looked it up and he did give it another go, my b]
I’m sorry, who allowed Trump to pack the court? The Debt Collective?
I prefer the spinoff, “Whose parking spot is it anyway?”
No, it does something. It conveys that it’s shameful to be feminine.
Musk overpaid a ton for twitter because he made a stupid joke, tried to back out, and got forced to follow through in the courts. It is of course possible that these were Machiavellian machinations with benefits a rube like me could not possibly understand. Or, and hear me out here, he is just a buffoon who fell ass backwards into something that ended up working for him.
Either way, he is a serious danger. But the thing that makes him really dangerous is his wealth, a thing he did little to nothing to deserve.
Because this IS a class war and our side has been consistently losing for over three full decades.
100%. I’ll just point out that the Democratic party leadership is very wealthy and their class interests align with someone like Musk. Maybe one reason we’re losing is because the people we choose to fight don’t want to win.
Gotta give it to the IDF, they do seem to be gender egalitarian

Practical programming itself does not require this kind of math. The stuff you’re trying to make a program do might; but even then I don’t think you’ll have difficulty in that context. The stuff you’re learning now will have had time to “settle”, and you’ll be working towards a concrete goal, which makes it easier in my experience.
Another thing is that just because you’re struggling right now doesn’t mean you’ll be struggling forever. Math didn’t really click for me until I took calculus. I had a math professor who it didn’t click for until their junior year of college as a math major.
So don’t sweat it. But it’s always a good idea to have another career idea or two in your back pocket just in case. There are lots of reasons you might not want to be a programmer as a career. You might hate it. You might love it enough that you want to be able to do it freely instead of at the behest of others for money.
These kinds of anxieties are normal for someone your age (assuming you’re not nontraditional student). But one day you’ll look behind you in all these worries will seem unjustified. Everything will almost certainly turn out fine.
As a USian, I’m more than happy to have europe take care of their own security, go right ahead 👍
To be fair he didn’t want to
Honestly I’m sure firefighters spend most of their time being bored waiting around for a fire so they probably welcome the distraction.
Sure, in response to this statement that is a criticism that Biden did not deliver:
This all sounds like shit he should have done in his first term if he wanted Dems to have any faith in him whatsoever.
You said:
You seem to think a president can act unilaterally. Or that Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema weren’t holding the senate by the balls until the house got taken by Republicans two years ago.
I don’t think it’s unfair to say you think it is naive to believe that the “president can act unilaterally”, and the natural converse of naivety is being savvy.
Anyway, I fail to see the point of arguing with someone who thinks I am a liar, so I will bow out of this conversation. Have a nice day. Believe it or not, I do sincerely wish you well.
I’m going to say a thing that would be considered entirely reasonable if we were talking about any other profession, but since we are talking about the powerful, will be disregarded:
That is not my job. That is the president’s job. I should not be expected to come up with a strategy to solve their problems. When they tell me they are going to do something, and then fail to do so, they did a bad job.
I used to think like you do. I used to think I was savvier than all the naive people who wanted things from their politicians, and criticized the politicians when they didn’t deliver, because how could they have? But over time I’ve realized that I was being duped. That I should stop arguing that better things aren’t possible, because when people believe that, it comes true.
A criticism I’ll head off: I understand I can’t vote for them and forget it. I’m not advocating for reduced civil engagement; it’s our job to protest and agitate.
You don’t have to make excuses for the powerful, you know. There are always going to be challenges to overcome to create positive change. We should judge people by how well they overcome those challenges.
Everything the Nazis did in the Third Reich was legal. People who resisted them were breaking the law. Maybe we should evaluate things by their impact (pollution/invasion of privacy) rather than their legality.
