Oh, this is a good one.

Eh?

After posting these I think I need to give FLCL a second try. I didn’t really get into it the first time.

Thanks I hate it.

Video, not a gif…

The feds aren’t directly repealing state laws. Though the Trump administration is actively trying to indirectly repeal state laws by getting them struck down in the courts. Just last week the DOJ filed suits against Virginia and California to try to overturn some of their restrictions. The DOJ sued Colorado back in May as well.

So many regulations. Moreso at the state and local level, where they vary wildly from place to place.

Whether the regulations make sense is another issue altogether.

I’m sold!

US, if my avatar didn’t already make that clear. My short list is Canada, Norway, Germany, France, New Zealand, Chile, in no particular order. Basically, places with snowy mountains and ski resorts.

It’s hard to pick just one place, though. There are so many beautiful and interesting spots in the world.

Typo. Autocorrect has been killing me lately.

I think there’s enough precedent at this point that everyone would still treat the Construction Constitution as law.

However, the case is also when the Supreme Court gave itself the power to override Congress by declaring laws unconstitutional. If the court overturned Marbury v. Madison the court would also be kneecapping itself by giving up one of its greatest powers.

Great answer.

I second that OP should ask about ring preference before buying anything. I did before I proposed, and was surprised to learn that she had very specific desires for her engagement ring.

Just autocorrect screwing me again. Fixed now.

If Colombia wins, free empanadas!

'07 shitbox checking in. Was at the scrap yard last week getting replacement parts.

“Why are people so ________ these days?” drives me nuts. People have always been that way. If today’s behavior seems new and unique it’s only because it’s being presented through different social norms, fashions, or ways of communicating.

I thought party names were sometimes unintuitive in other countries as well? From the names alone I couldn’t tell you what the Whigs or Tories stood for in the UK, or the Brazil of Hope Federation today, or the old Arrow Cross party in Hungary. It’s usually some mix of historical oddities and domestic marketing.

We could use a new Bull Moose party. It’s almost hard to imagine a platform like that winning today.

The party’s platform built on Roosevelt’s Square Deal domestic program and called for several progressive reforms, asserting that “to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day”. The platform included proposals such as restrictions on campaign finance contributions, a reduction of the tariff and the establishment of a social insurance system, an eight-hour workday and women’s suffrage.

My sister worked at Abercrombie & Fitch back in their late-90s/early-00s peak. Every month or two, corporate would send a CD to be played in store during open hours. A 60-minute (or less) loop of company-sactioned pop music, all shift, every shift. I wasn’t the one working there and I still felt miserable on her behalf.
