No it is not. Some MAGA idiot who got into the Minnesota legislature is trying to gain favor with the orangutan in chief. That bill is not going anywhere. The Dems control the Minnesota senate by a one vote margin and the house the Republicans hold by one vote with one empty seat. The...

Oh, they expected it, they just didn't expect congress to just roll over and let it happen. Impeachment was put in FOR THIS VERY REASON. We've added another method to remove a president from active duty since then, but it still requires the vice president and congress to do the right thing...

14th amendment would not apply in Trump's case. He wasn't actually convicted of insurrection, unfortunately.

Putting in an amendment to prevent a convicted felon from being eligible to become president should be the bare minimum. Heck, if we had that in place in 2024, Trump would not have been able to run. He was convicted in May

The SS were public sector workers? I mean, I guess they WERE technically government employees but they were most definitely under the command of Hitler and Hitler approved the "Final Solution"

Yup. This isn't Bush the Lesser we are dealing with. This is now a repeated pattern for our nation. We voted him in, he screwed over our alliances to a point, we voted him out, things calmed down a bit we voted him BACK in and he decided to do what he did the first time around only now more...

Yes, but the courts have slapped back on a lot of stuff he's done AND they've been forced to rehire a lot of the people he's fired.

It's a 'look at me' bill. No chance of it passing, just trying to throw meat to his base of bigots in an attempt to get re-elected. Like a lot of the junk the 'freedom caucus' proposes in US Congress. Best to keep an eye on it because of some of the garbage that Florida has passed, but I'd...

Ah yes, private equity, the industry that acts like a vampire sucking the wealth out of profitable corporations to feed its shareholders and then dumps them as debt ridden corpses to die in the streets. On that note, Musk can't really do anything TO social security without Congress actually...

Well, during the IE thing the internet wasn't nearly as ubiquitous as it is now and Netscape was still doing OK. Now, Mozilla is slowly dying and pretty much EVERY other browser uses Chromium as its base.(not counting Safari since that's pretty much limited to Apple's ecosystem). It's the...

Heck, that's exactly why shooting competitions went from mixed to gendered. Women were competitive, often getting close to or even beating men and so slowly they started splitting them up into gendered categories. This is just within the last 40 to 50 years too. Skeet shooting didn't become...

New build was released. Wasn't able to play long during the test window due to real life interrupting the session, but they've started testing the seasonal system, world events, revamped the skybox and added in a preliminary pass on the farming system. I couldn't figure out how to get farming...

I'm of the mind that anyone who claims to want a meritocracy should be FOR a 100% inheritance tax, TBH. Funny that pretty much NONE of those that spout meritocracy as buzzword agree.

Yea, Newsom is an opportunist. He will do what he thinks will get him elected, nothing more, nothing less.

THIS is why representation is important: https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/powerful-speeches-from-trans-dems Two anti trans bills were defeated in Montana due to the work of two of their trans reps. Good on Montana, Zephyr and Howell!!!!

True enough. IRC servers are cheap to run, though. I've run one on dialup back in the late 90s just to test things out. Granted it only had like 5 users and was only up for a few hours, lol. Discord does voice and video, though, which do have much heavier bandwidth requirements.

It was inevitable, unfortunately(heck, it was already moving in that direction before they announced they were preparing for an IPO). We need open standards and to tear down all these walled gardens. I'm gonna go back to my grumpy corner and complain that IRC stagnated to the point that...

Lol, I didn't even realize that was the same actress. Shows how much attention I've been paying.

Funny thing is there is strong evidence that the human digestive system EVOLVED to eat cooked food. Our ancestors have been cooking meat since before they were homo sapiens. Use of fire goes back at least 400,000 years and there is STRONG evidence that it goes back much further than that...

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy /s
