The question is whether the new conservative party would push even further right wing as a whole. The Republicans had a schism in the late 2000s when the Tea Party was formed. When that movement was absorbed back into the Republican party, their ideology was pushed further to the right.

Teddy was big as VP, but that's about it. They spend a lot of their days in the Senate in meetings to help push through legislation and breaking ties whenever they happen.

IIRC, there are some who think this could be a reason why there are more cancer cases now as tiny microplastics make their way into various cells.

No, the Constitution says, "The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office." in Article 3 and in Article 1 "The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."

It could be said that Congress is mandated to pass a law defining Good Behavior, so that the judicial branch can execute its powers as defined in the constitution.

Many of those that move out are conservative and want to be with their kind.

In 2018, native Texans voted for Beto 51-40 and people who moved here voted for Cruz 57-42.

Only for his lawyers to send the prosecutors a copy of every text message that he sent and received for the last 2 years. Haha

There's nothing that says it can't be done. But I'm sure SCOTUS will have something to say should a case make it to them.

Constitutional amendment would be the best way. Not sure if it would be easier via Congress or State Legislatures given the implosion on Capitol Hill.

That boost in price is minimal compared to how much they raised prices in the last 2 years.

I wish it worked that way for me. Adhd makes it so difficult to have and keep hobbies and projects. At work things get done because there's rigid deadlines, which don't exist in a hobby.

That's what I remember learning while in college. Someone had done a study showing that those who wrote out notes were able to recall information better than those who typed their notes.

Tax Hawk and FreeTax USA are some free options that will still be available to you!

Tax Hawk is still an option for those not in a pilot state!

Free software like TaxHawk and FreetaxUSA popped up once TurboTax and HR Block started charging people. I get your point, but it doesn't carry as much weight with the fre, easy software that's out there.

Why not use free software like TaxHawk? It's been around for a while. At least since HR Block and TurboTax started charging people a few years ago.

It wasn't for the school, the plans were offered at the state level. Every teacher had 2 options, 3 if you were there long enough to get the plan with the lower $4K deductible. Otherwise, you could get a plan with a $6K deductible with a $500 premium.

When I left, I found a plan with a deductible below $1K with a ~$300 premium through the same insurance provider.

The last part isn't always true. When I stopped teaching, I was able to get a plan from the same insurance company with a lower premium and with a deductible that was about 20% of the deductible that teachers have.

How do you give a shit about minority lives? You're defending Pinochet who led the coup in Chile and built concentration camps for political opponents. He followed in the footsteps of the nazis.

Edit: fixed weird autocorrect

This technology has been in place in public spaces like airports for at least a decade. They claimed it was to fight terrorism by scanning and collecting models of everyone's face looking for known terrorists. They said that they could identify the terrorists because even with a disguise, you can't alter the shape of your facial bone structure.

You don't think it's important to teach how to prevent a prolapse or anal tearing/fissures? Or stress the importance of condom use in anal sex to prevent hepatitis?

We both agree that we shouldn't be teaching sexual positions and how to bring a partner to climax, bit I think we should be teaching kids how to safely have sex so they aren't hurting themselves.

Sounds like you learned a ton about straight sex, especially given that most sex Ed programs only tell students to abstain. You learned something about condoms, which I assume means that you learned how to put one on.

In most of the country, sex Ed is one video about puberty and then in health being told to abstain from sex to avoid pregnancy and STDs with detailed descriptions about the pain and torture of STDs.

It would be superhelpful if sex Ed programs were expanded upon your curriculum to dispel sex myths, like women can't get pregnant if they are on top or take a shower right after. It would also be good to discuss how to prevent harm during vaginal and anal sex.
