Yeahhhh. It’s frustrating that it exists. Obvious bias to a comical extreme. Some fun (frustrating?) articles are about evolution, Barracks Houssein Obama (yes they have the middle name emphasized), and atheism

That’s probably something Conservapodia would publish not ironically

He has conceptually won a case

You’re right and I’m misremembering how it happened. I really thought DOMA was later. I’m not sure the distinction between invalidating in verse repealing it. He may have seemed more pro-LGBTQ since others were more outwardly against it.

Voted against DOMA and eventually repealed it. There were some weird semantics about naming nomenclature of calling it a marriage in the early 2000’s. During the primaries he gave vague answers about some religions being opposed to it but did flip from earlier statements about same-sex marriages in his earlier career

Granted, you’re technically right. Support for it was certainly a large part of Obama’s campaign though. It’s unclear what the overall result would have been for Obergfell vs Hodges with an administration that would have been vitriolic to the ruling.

I had a friend who is gay and supported Mitt Romney back in the day. He campaigned against gays. Obama won and legalized same-sex marriage. She is now married to her wife. Reminds me of her

Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Stamets has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing. Find it, we will try

Oh I’m sure it’d be quite hard. But that’s a future engineer’s problem lol

This is the first step to having magnetic wheels become a thing. We know canonically Jim Kirk’s motorcycle uses these, so it’s definitely mainstream by ~2250.

Honorable mention: the Bell Riots happen September this year, and it seems we’re on track for those too

It was over 410:1 when I started a job in 2012. My company may have been an outlier :/ I hope it improves

FML you’re right :( just saw this pop up in a news feed. Party of law and order at work

My favorite part about the aftermath of this is that Convicted Felon Trump won’t be able to vote for himself in the election 🥰

That’s fair. It’s the double-edged sword of internet stardom. To me it’s about remembering a simpler time then the world was less of a mess than it is today.

I post a reminder in a group chat with my friends every year. Someone today asked how the hell I remember it and I told them it’s in my calendar

Do you know why we can’t see any elephants hiding in trees?

Because they’re really good at it

… I’ll see myself out

3D TV. It was so cool. Games actually had heads up displays. Movies were especially immersive. So much potential for development. But people didn’t like wearing glasses to use it :(
