It's 'allowed' in that the rules don't outright ban it, and I think I recall seeing a video compilation of it being done by both Republicans AND Democrats, though I can't seem to find it now. I'm not sure if has been done in this specific case, though. Frankly if the congresswoman in question...

Yup, and I don't know why it isn't grounds for automatic expulsion from congress for ANY congressperson who presses the vote button on another congressperson's seat. If you can't be there to vote, you should either resign or a vote from your seat should not count.

I'm eagerly awaiting the day when people realize that the stocks in Musk's companies are highly overrated and the bulk of his wealth quickly evaporates because of it. Heck, Twitter may have finally hit the tipping point(I would have thought it would have happened a year ago, but looks like...

Yes and no. The DCMA has specific penalties for breaking encryption to access copyrighted work. Printer manufactures were the first ones that realized they could use that to block the ability to refill or remanufacture cartridges. Now Apple uses it to key parts to specific phones(not models...

The safe harbor rules are one of the few parts of the DMCA I generally agree with. Issue is it's also being used to keep people from repairing vehicles and electronics they have bought, to keep you from refilling ink cartridges and more.

The DMCA has been a blight on the internet since it's inception. The thing needs to be either struck down or HEAVILY revised. It is being used for WAY more than it was ever intended.

Collaborating with the residents of deep 13 back in the 90s for one.

Well, I spent a good chunk of my childhood hiding my feminine tendencies(wasn't overly feminine pre-puberty, but I definitely wan't a typical 'boy' either, outside of maybe my obsession with robots). I think I would have ended up with social anxiety either way, but it might not have been so bad...

Story of my life. I second guess every conversation I have. I've done it since elementary school. Doesn't help that I learned to self-censor early as a way to avoid being made fun of.

Real issue isn't age, it's that AOC is a progressive, Connolly is a neoliberal. The neoliberals still control the Democratic party. People(especially the right wing media) like to say they are the same, but they really aren't.

I've built a safe-house at the top of Mauna Loa. They can go there and stay safe, it even has a convenient over-sized trap door, for safety!!!

Most CEOs are a drain on the companies that employ them as well. The position sounds way more important and is paid way more than it really should be, outside a few outliers. They do make a good scapegoat when things go south, though. Helps deflect attention away from the board of directors...

You are right. It was a Paladin post, I should have read the article before jumping on my soapbox. Still bad, but bad in a limited way.

They also constantly refer to ships as 'she' Them things ain't even sentient(yet), much less sapient.

Yea, The shooter IS a murderer but trying to paint the CEO of United Health Care as a saint is patently ridiculous.. The story is simple. A man got pushed to the breaking point by a giant corporation and snapped. He killed ONE man. The CEO's decisions have cause suffering on a MUCH larger...

What does gender affirming care for minors have to do with military policy. We need regulations to stop congress critters from adding that sort of thing to unrelated bills.

So now some right-wing billionaire will swoop in and buy the IP and give Jones his job back.... Hopefully if that does occur, Jones' wages get garnished for the rest of his life to repay what he owes. Man is a serial liar peddling in dangerous conspiracy theories, he doesn't deserve to make...

Not every province leans left, which is why they would have to split it up in order to maintain control. Quebec would also present a bit of a problem.... I'd imagine trying to integrate that province into the US structure would prove rather dicey. It's not 1812 anymore, after all.

He wouldn't like the results of Canada being a state anyway. Canada sits left of the US as a whole and it would result in the Republicans losing power in congress. It would also make the electoral college map less favorable to the Republicans. They would HAVE to split Canada up into multiple...

Always has been. Remember police officers used to break up strikes, all they needed was a call from the executives of whatever company was being affected by said strike. That didn't change until labor laws changed and started offering more protection for workers.
