But it’s not like insurance is going to help. If you buy a gun that gets used in a shooting, it’s still used in a shooting. The only difference is that someone might get money, but it doesn’t actually solve any problem.

What it does do is place a regressive tax on gun ownership.

One could argue that they were the ass hole first by releasing an unfinished game. Just playing devils advocate here though.

By progressive and youth, you mean millennials, right? Who are as old as… 40.

You know what else lasts 10 years? Quality cotton t-shirts.

Pre George W. Bush, it was perfectly legal to discharge student debt in bankruptcy. That made loans harder to get, and consequently, kept college prices from these insane increases.

Why just baby food? Why aren’t there lead limits in all food?

Religion says not to alter or mutilate your body. That’s why very religious people might skip getting earrings or tattoos too.

Edit: A vaccine is, by definition, artificially altering your immune system response.

The average manager has no clue on either of these questions.

But being in person wouldn't help.

But the real issue, to me, is that no one takes an oath specifically to “support” the constitution. If the presidential oath isn’t an example of supporting it, then Article Ii makes no sense at all - why would it even be there?

I'm sure the righter part of the SC will find a reason :|

You can preserve, protect, and defend something you don't support. Debate 101 at even a high school level is learning how to argue the side of an argument that you don't support.

So while in office, he preserved/protected/defended something he didn't support. He then lead some form of rebellion against it, causing him to be in violation of the spirit of the 14th but not the letter as it's written, so he should still be qualified to serve.

The Supreme Court would love this wordplay, except, if they actually accept it, they're not just invalidating the spirit of the 14th, but undermining it completely as it would never ever ever be relevant to anyone, ever again. And wouldn't that also be against their oaths to uphold the constitution?

So most likely Trump will be eligible for re-election because I have no doubt that if they can get away with the Citizens United ruling, they can and will do whatever the hell they want.

I asked Bing's chatbot who was against the bill (who funded "The California Coalition for Psychedelic Safety and Education"), and this is what it told me.

The California Coalition for Psychedelic Safety and Education does not disclose its sources of funding on its website1. However, some of its members have been involved in other anti-drug campaigns, such as the Drug Free America Foundation and the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids2. These groups have received funding from various sources, including pharmaceutical companies, private foundations, and government agencies2. It is possible that the coalition receives some of its funding from similar sources, but this is not confirmed. The coalition claims to be a grassroots organization of concerned citizens who want to protect public health and safety1.

Our local hospital just switched from covid/flu/strep tests to individual ones, because they can bill more for 3 tests than one.

But using a custom blockchain, so the price for coins is not set directly by reddit. So if the price goes up, they can just say “not our fault”. Love it.

Idk if this is true. there were fewer posts about voyager 2 on lemmy, but they were more comments on it and it was a better article. I found 2 or 3 posts about it on reddit, but very few comments.
