Do you think that ~these CBS~ employees should unionize and go on strike?
Yes.

I’d try it. Is it really any more “processed” than ketchup already is?
- Comment on How does the SCOTUS ruling on presidential powers say what he can or what he can't do? Or can he basically do anything? Like kill a person or multiple people shooting a gun from the whitehouse? 4 days ago:
We talking about the one that says the President can’t be prosecuted for official acts?
The thing most people miss about that decision is that it’s not a power grant to the Presidency. It’s a power grab by the Supreme Court. They conveniently don’t define what counts as an “official act” that the President can’t be prosecuted for, so that whenever it comes up again, we just end up right back at the Supreme Court for them to decide what’s “official” and what isn’t. And we know their game plan on that kinda thing, from everything else in the past decade, they’ll pull a bunch of old nonsense out of their ass to rule whichever way they please, and then say at the and “this decision is a unique outcome of unique circumstances” or whatever, so they’re free to rule completely differently next time.
The charitable interpretation of the ruling is “the way to get a President to stop doing bad shit is for Congress to impeach them” so in theory, that’s still a check on Presidental power, but we all know how much Congress is loathe to use any amount of power to do anything, what little they haven’t abdicated already.

That’s actually the correct approach, they just got the wrong humans. It’s the executives that are FORCING developers to use AI as a metric that are responsible here, not the developers themselves.

- Comment on What games similar to hardspace shipbreaker can you recommend? 3 months ago:
One of the closest analogues I can think of is Subnautica. Very different genre, but it shares the aspect of having a narrative that actually drives you to want to DO things in the game, and the fact thst the moment-to-moment gameplay is quite fun.

So, this can’t just be a Hellsing Ultimate Abridged reference, right? There’s an underlying reference I’m just not aware of?
- Comment on Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? 5 months ago:
I don’t think so. As far as I’m aware, it’s never come up before. The way it would play out, I think, would be something like…
- Future president issues an EO or whatever rescinding the pardon. This doesn’t really accomplish anything, though. It’s really just a signal to the DoJ that the president proooobably wants them to pursue charges against the individual in question. Which they’ve probably already discussed directly.
- DoJ brings charges against the individual.
- The individual, files a motion for dismissal of charges, on the grounds of the prior pardon.
- The judge hears arguments from the DoJ about why that pardon should be considered invalid, and rules one way or the other. If I had to guess, I’d say most judges would rule that the existing pardon can’t be overturned, as it’s a power defined explicitly in the Constitution, and overturning pardon’s isn’t.
- Regardless of the ruling, the decision gets appealed and escalated through the appeals court system to work out the final outcome.

- Comment on same shit every day, on god 5 months ago:
Just that “power plant” I think most people associate with large enclosed facilities that house power generating equipment, which doesn’t quite describe wind and solar farms. Hence that most people refer to them as “farms”.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 5 months ago:
I dunno if “power plant” quite fits for solar and wind. Definitely for Hydro, though.

- Comment on How Lina Khan Is Busy Striving To Maximize Mamdani's Power 6 months ago:
Khan, who spearheaded some of the Biden administration’s worst efforts to disrupt free markets with heavy-handed government intervention, repeatedly tested the limits of FTC power, and attempted to do through an executive agency things that should have been left to Congress.
Loooooool. Democrats finally have someone willing to turn just a little bit of the Republicans’ own tactics against them, and they’re already whining about it. If Congress (state or federal) doesn’t like they laws she’s abusing, they can get off their asses and fucking DO something about it. See how well it goes over with New Yorkers when they lower prices for shit, and enforce consumer rights, and Congress tries to pass laws to undo it.

Bob’s Burgers has got to be the #1 here. One of the most loving families in television history.
Avatar - The Last Airbender might be a contender. If you can tolerate some entirely NOT wholesome dynamics alongside all the wholesome ones.
The Owl House also comes to mind.
