Might be legal if you’re on a motorcycle. If it isn’t, it should be. No reason to not allow lane filtering.

The word gig is far older than the term “gig economy”. But I’m also sure strippers have been around a lot longer than even that.

If you take a minute to think about it, of course hunters would be interested in preservation. They want a place to hunt and things to hunt. There will always also be the douchebag manosphere style people that just want the biggest sport kill.

I think that’s actually a pretty neat trick. So long as not winning doesn’t feel even more crushing.

You have to celebrate the wins.
- Comment on School of hard knocks 1 month ago:
Today that’s next to impossible. Comp Sci students are struggling to even find internships. I was listening to a podcast interviewing a student that applied to over 90 internships, only got 2 interviews, and no callbacks. It’s probably the worst time to try to get into tech right now.

That’s nothing compared to 5 minutes in a Japanese anime.

But most of me Star Trek is shit. I’m a Trek fan, but the post JJ era has been mostly bad.

It is to mayonnaise like margarine is to butter. An inferior imposter.

With the amount I drive, the 120v charger would be more than enough. But, I work from home…

That’s not why she died. She died because she was incompetent. She was a bad pilot and after a crash the man that was the radio expert quit. She didn’t know how to work the radios and broadcasted to listen on a channel that her radio couldn’t use, she didn’t know how to use the trailing antenna that could have saved them so she had it removed, etc…
- Comment on Trump in 2029 after removing the 22nd Amendment, watching Obama run again 2 months ago:
I’m not validating anything. Just clearing up the confusion. You two were talking past each other. But now that you realize you were mistaken you’ve decided to attack me.
his first term would count as more than two consecutive terms.
Sure, but if we’re really splitting hairs it wouldn’t be more than two consecutive terms until after he has served his second consecutive term to completion. Otherwise it’s just a consecutive partial term.
Ultimately like you said it’s all stupid and obviously not how it is written.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice
Consecutive isn’t even mentioned in the text. There really isn’t even wiggle room for interpretation.
- Comment on Trump in 2029 after removing the 22nd Amendment, watching Obama run again 2 months ago:
You’re missing their point. More is ambiguous in that sentence. It can be defined as consecutive like you have, or it can be defined as anything more than two consecutive terms. Since Obama has had two consecutive terms, any term now would be beyond two consecutive terms even though that term itself is not consecutive.

It’s not even an assumption at that point. You have evidence for your claim.
- Comment on Red, White and Blue 2 months ago:
You’re correct
Contrary to an urban legend, the flag code does not state that a flag that touches the ground should be burned. Instead, the flag should be moved so it is not touching the ground.
I guess just if it gets tattered you’re supposed to dispose of it properly.
- Comment on Red, White and Blue 2 months ago:
Exactly. That’s kind of the difference between being patriotic and nationalistic.
- Comment on Red, White and Blue 2 months ago:
The burning after it touches the ground is actually what you’re supposed to do according to the flag code.
- Comment on Red, White and Blue 2 months ago:
Flag burning isn’t against the flag code. Flexing your 1st amendment is definitely patriotic.
- Comment on Red, White and Blue 2 months ago:
No. It’s against flag code, but there is no real law or enforcement of the flag code. If you do break it, I will immediately assume you are not a patriot and instead you are a nationalist because you didn’t take the ~5 minutes to look up the flag code.

Nah, I can be mad at the toxic people and the people over reacting. Both are too extreme reactions to each other.

I would accept obnoxious. I don’t think it is obnoxious to add a comment to a forum, but I understand that viewpoint. I just think it’s a far way from toxic.

Millenials don’t run anything. The senate is still dominated by Boomers and the Reps are dominated by Boomers and Gen X. Boomers have been holding on to jobs so long that by time they die it will be Zoomers time to step up.

Some are just easier than others for Isreal to play. Trump is the easiest.

Her being timid wasn’t really the part of her character I didn’t like. The fact that she was timid was her only character flaw was what made her a week character. Like she never struggled other than to accept that she was capable of doing things.

Nope, I’ve seen others and have seen reviews.
