I am selecting the files I wish to transfer and the ones I do not. It is my bandwidth. I also use reader mode as an accessibility feature.

“As per my previous emails…”

I think you might be underestimating the sheer laziness of voters.

I honestly think we’re going to see something very similar to J6 both in the run up and in the potential for it to turn violent. I think it could happen on a larger scale because the consequences have not been very harsh, except for a handful of minor players. There’s nothing that will keep Bobo and MTG and that whole rogues gallery from calling on people to “make their voices heard 1776 style” or some such euphemism. I don’t even know if they’ll bother with euphemisms at this point.

Yes, I have read that they’re starting to develop wills of their own.

I’m assuming this one was trained off of fashion designer Santino Rice, of Project Runway and Drag Race fame..

Nice! Which AI was this?

Aww, that’s sweet. The Germans are a kind and open hearted people.

Manager and community member at a FAANG here. That’s frequently said, and it is certainly partly true. However, there’s a couple of other factors that also play into it.

First, yes, companies are aware that they are a brand, and maintaining their brand is a big deal. Diversity and inclusion are huge as parts of their brand identity. It’s what customers expect.

Second, though, is the employees. Coors was and remains a right wing company politically. However, they were also among the first companies in the US to extend married couple benefits to same sex partner households due to employee pressure. It’s not just the LGBT customers, it’s the employees (current and future) that push for companies to take public positions on the issues as well as make resources available internally.

Third, there are community members and allies throughout leadership as well as management and staff. They are the ones to make these kinds of calls.

I’ll be the first to call a company like Target out for rainbow washing, but it usually flows pretty smoothly. As someone who grew up in a very different America, I will take what we can get - especially these days.

I am also available to host.

I do believe I remember reading that individuals could still appeal their inclusion.

I’m not too sure about that. I think it’s pretty open and shut and scotus can’t do anything about it.

Case law has found time and again that states can decide their own election laws, and that the federal government cannot override that except in the most egregious cases.

But the very cases where they chose to defer were huge, election changing cases, like Bush v Gore and the VRA.

I don’t think they can even issue a stay without doing the exact same thing. The current stay is through the 4th because CO law says they have to set the ballots by Jan 5. So even issuing a stay would be the feds overstepping the bounds.

Overstepping their own bounds in fact, since people still on this court decided those cases, and Gorsuch actually ruled on this same Colorado law in favor of CO having the right to control its own ballot.

What this means is very possible sweep in CO, because if Trump isn’t on the ballot, that will hurt turnout which would flip some new areas blue. That’s the entire downticket from senators to dogcatchers.

It’s bigger than that, because I suspect it’ll strongly affect the down ticket votes as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if an election-changing number of Trump voters would sit it out if they can’t vote for him.

I’ll have to read more about it, but I don’t know what the appeal process would be for this. Gore v Bush meant that SCOTUS wants to be hands off on state election laws. Since that one effectively decided the election (and this one likely would not, as far as president goes), I’d think the bar would have to be higher.

Who knows these days though. I bet I know how Thomas would vote though.

Here’s an article talking about his idea of attacking Venezuela. Here’s one that mentions how Woodward identified people removing docs from his desk because they created national security threats. That one is very short but there are longer and more detailed write ups. The Iran crack plan he ordered is well known, because it’s one of the top secret docs he showed to reporters.

The difference for me comes down to the relative power both men had. If the US had been the sole hyperpower on the planet, Jackson may well have out-Hitlered Hitler. If Trump’s administration wasn’t actively engaged in sabotaging his deranged orders to attack Venezuela and Iran, we’d probably still be at war. Trump exercised authority over 300M people and has, probably for the remainder of our lifetimes, permanently altered politics in the US and around the world, while Jackson’s ability, monster that he was, was constrained that the US was not a significant world power at the time.

You know they physically removed his presidential order to attack Venezuela, and that they’d frequently do similar tactics because he’d forgot that he signed an order that would have started a war, right?

Holy crap, that’s awesome.

That person may have one of the worst jobs on earth, and I saw the Dirty Jobs geoduck episode.

Nothing against you, but as someone from the rural southwest, I cannot see any level of compatibility between your gripes and rural life. It’s like some from NYC complaining about too many people around.

As a data scientist, this is my favorite answer.

I think we’re very much on the same page.

Yes you can. First result = 0, second = 1 to 9. You either roll two different color dice, or you roll one and then the other, but one is used for the tens place and the other for the ones.

0 and 0 means 100.

I think I might have DMed for you or your clone.

You need a group that’s small enough to allow for personal interaction, but large enough that there’s enough people that you’re more likely to find ones you click with. It’s easy enough to do online - a lot of people meet in games like MMOs and on social media sites. You already share a common interest, and if you click you can expand your friendship outside of that immediate context. Even within the context, you get friends and community.

Real world kinds of places can include things like a men’s choir or a community theater group if that’s your demographic. Those can lead to Saturday brunches and such. There’s also places like dog parks where you can hang out with other dog owners, and sports groups like bowling and ultimate that have various levels of serious vs fun. There’s also a lot of volunteering opportunities.

Some groups can be cliques that can make it harder to get into at first, and just like in dating you can’t let a negative experience turn you off from the whole scene.
