Anti-corruption laws really need to have actual teeth and a justice department willing to use them..... Sometimes think we need a 4th branch of government to keep an eye on the other three branches and be in charge of enforcing such things, because obviously the other three aren't doing a good...

To be fair, I've seen my share of college grads like that. Not all colleges are created equal and some students lie and cheat their way to their degree. Heck, my father would complain about how architects designed buildings in ways that wouldn't allow them to pass code. He was an electrician...

I know that, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when I am reminded about that(and I AM reminded about that daily due to my job).

You'd think Americans would wake up to their tactics by now. Trickle down economics has only benefited the rich and it's been like 40 years since Regan....

Well, if they are going to just remake stuff... I wish they'd focus on remaking BAD movies that had the potential to be good instead of focusing on remaking successful movies.

Paladin, TRUMP DID NOT GET A MAJORITY OF THE VOTE. He got close, but did not get a majority. On top of that a GOOD chunk of those who voted for him have no clue what is in Project 2025, all they heard was 'Trump make economy good, Kamala make economy bad'.

Alliances need to be forged during times of war. Having Picard, one of the best diplomats in Starfleet, helping during negotiations while simultaneously showing the might of Starleet's engineering prowess could be quite a convincing to potential allies.

Congrats!! May your second puberty go better than the first!!

Especially true if you pay someone else to do the school work for your, or your parents have enough political pull to pull some strings.

Paladin.... Things are more complicated than that. IF she throws a fit over said rules, she will be censured and the Republicans will use her actions to demonize Trans people even more. On top of that it COULD potentially open up expulsion hearings for her to be removed from Congress(don't...

We have a theater about 30 to 40 minutes away that does $7 showings all the time. Might hit it there if my daughter wants to see it.

She's on the East Coast, she'd likely survive the initial devastation, not sure how she'd fair during the resulting famine, though.

It does look better, still looks like its likely horrible, but maybe it will wrap around enough to being so bad it's good. Wonder what the Rifftrax guy will be able to do with it.

I never left Nintendo(the only Nintendo systems I didn't get were the 3DS, due to money being tight at that point in my life, and the Virtual Boy) but I did expand my options during the first two generations of the 2000's(grabbed all 6 major consoles and every major handheld of the era)...

To MTG: DO IT!!! Sure it's likely a half baked conspiracy theory with no evidence, but that's her bread and butter. It would have one of two consequences. Either A, we get a lot of resignations/people voted out on the R side in congress or B) MTG becomes a pariah in the Republican party and...

Found out earlier today that this year's MST3k Turkey Day Marathon will include Final Sacrifice for the first time in YEARS!!!(they also somehow roped Mark Hamill into doing some bits during breaks in the Gamera vs Jiger episode, one of my favorites from season 13)

Also won't stop theft. They'll just break the glass. Walmart s are so understaffed, it would probably be an hour before anyone even notices.

Yea, this is in direct response to a trans congress member about to take office.

Didn't say it would work, but that's the reasoning they will give. I'm of the mind that if you treat all your customers as criminals, eventually that's the only type of customers you'll have left

It's like we are going back to the old-style of general store. You pick what you want out of the catalog and the clerk goes and gets it for you. They blame theft, but the real reason is they think it will pad their profit margins my some minuscule amount.
