They are applied with effect based on how they're written. They are "Official" but they can't change the writing of the constitution. Another administration can immediately revoke them as he has with many of biden's. The courts can only change how the constitution is interpreted. Congress needs to pass an amendment to change the constitution.

A policy applied to federal agencies on the whims of the executive/administration (president+staff). (FBI, CIA, DHS, ICE, TSA, HHS, FDA, so forth...)

Does not impact state law, judicials, or enforcement agencies. Though many of these do take their lead from federal guidelines to some degree, especially at the police and sheriff level.

This will be sued over constitutionality in the courts

Stacked courts will probably claim it's constitutional

Up to Congress to specifically and independently say it's unconstitutional. This Congress will probably not do that

IF there's another election, and the term limit is still adhered to, the next administration may chose to revoke it or alter it assuming they have differing policies.

Rinse and repeat.

Complacency is not as bad as direct support. The blood is as much on his hands. Tax payers participated indirectly without their consent.

Nope! No interest at all. I definitely don't regret it as a millennial.

I have always been fine with children. I think seeing other people raise them with love and care and real emotional availability is the most heartening thing ever! I've even teared up a little when i see them do it well and with real emotional availability.

I was never interested but i had the question about whether i would with the right partner well into my 20's. I never felt like it was something missing from my life. Now that I'm older i see my friends all across the spectrum about the choice from joy to regret. I am confident, learning about time commitment, cost, and thinking about the liability of a human life, that i would be deep on the regret end. In fact i see not having children as the best choice I've made in life.

I'm thoroughly happy and content being child free.

Real men are also able to access their emotions, express their needs(both emotional and physical), develop and share empathy, and nurture deep relationships within their community.

Though i would argue none of what either of us said has to do with gender.

Relentlessly locking your own humanity away behind a strong man facade built on shame is one of the biggest reason these fuckers become so hateful and make "manliness" seem like such a putrid prospect.

Something something 1930's Germany.

Cool, you failed to read the second sentence. That article on mutual aid is fucking insane and paints an idiotic picture on mutual aide. The taliban and religious charity are simply not mutual aid groups, what the fuck. Whole page feels like it was written by a fox news intern...

I'll give ya so much as we have two interpretations i guess. Mine aligned better with the article on "Radical Politics".

Anyone reading in the future just note the timestamp.

Where did you get violent extremism from? That's not radicalization. Though some people who are radicalized choose to incorporate violence as part of direct action it is extremely rare.

Do some mutual aid for starters. (This is what I've done, among other things, i will not elaborate.)

If you want to fight back on this particular issue and have tech skills you can run counter-intel and expose fashy heritage foundation boys or you could do other methods like decoy or feed false identifying info.

I'm happy anyone gets motivated to take action. Just a little surprised that it startes with wikipedia editors and not, just for example, palestine or women's bodily autonomy.

Haha no daggerfall for me.

THIS is the line for you? In spite of everything else?

Each successive TES game has relied more on procedural content, levelled lists, and repeated content(radiant).

These serve to reduce workload for Bethesda, they can make a larger game with less resources/staff, but removes artists further from the specific details in the world.

The parts of the world you enjoy are the one made by the creative process, the ones you don't come to expect, and the ones with thoughtful narrative. That's where the challenge, fun, and the humor in games comes from.

Procedural content specifically lacks this. The artist's touch only able to affect the architecture of the algorithm. It's good for stitching elements between the parts touched by the artist to create seemless transitions. But when used as a replacement for hand placing detail, it removes the creative process, thereby killing the source of enjoyment.

Leveled lists are a big annoyance because they remove danger from the world. Skyrim did have some notable exceptions: giants, a couple odd caster npc's, the frost troll on the way to the greybeards, etc... But then you get issues like normal creatures being more dangerous than fucking dragons, which are supposedly uber powerful(?).

Radiant quests waste time for negligible reward. They're bad, uncreative practice imo.

1/3 normal election with new candidate 1/3 trump dies for whatever reason, probably choking on taco bell 1/3 fascist takeover (though the term "president" may not apply, and it may not be him running things). I think enough dems would flip if threatened with terrorism charges for normal politics being interpreted as protest or whatever other laws originally made in reaction to far right acts of terror.

So imo, 50%, mostly because we have 4 years of extremely uncertain change that can occur.

Lots but a couple of note:

Health insurance already has deals with pharmaceuticals and hospitals to charge a specific rate. The buy in on these deals is cost prohibitive to some degree. Think legal and administrative cost, especially when working between municipalities and States, let alone from hospital to hospital.

Health sharing ministries are a form of this. They have tied the concept to religious roots which is often limiting e.g. women's and queer healthcare. They also have horror stories in the same abubdance as the big corps.

There's nothing technically stopping a coop from forming short of startup capital and legal status. But those are insanely large hurdles.

All are biased.

If there's an event occurring within the last few days I'll check AP and a couple other moderate/right sources to check/compare spin.

After a few days there's usually a pod out on it from the left view. I like It Could Happen Here, Some More News, and Even More News. They're incredibly well sourced, and are out in the open about their biases.

Even when there's no editorializing there's selection bias. That selection is due to capacity or the political viewpoint of the reporting. You won't see stories that are less relevant to reporter/editor interest.

You're free to live on thinking that way i guess. Just don't make it other people's problem.

Eh a lot of States are shaped by successive land aquisitions. They are territories then the state borders were defined upon statehood. These aquisitions by conquering or purchase happened over many decades. The national border of the time being adopted as a state border. This were often based on geographical details. After the Louisiana purchase there was a ton of land and it made sense to use a mixture of big squares and pre-existing territory borders. Though big landmarks like the Columbia/Mississippi rivers or mountain ranges play a role.

Though there's lots of politics involved but there's skates Wikipedia.

Internet stranger who grew up in the same world. I grew up not being seen or feeling valued. So i can see how you've come to feel how you have.

There really are good people out there. I hope you can find better people, and when you do, that you can meet them ready to reciprocate their kindness and vulnerability.

Just a fucking heap of work it takes to get there though...

Gender division and masculinity is trained into us from the second our genitals are identified be it sonogram or at birth. From the colors, toys, media, to early childhood social pressures were pushed into one of two molds. If a boy interacts with a girl it's labelled as boyfriend girlfriend even if there's no romantic intent (because why would children have that?). But the point is that masculinity [and femininity] is programmed throughout the core development of the brain. Unless there's a motivation to question it that developed neuron architecture only gets reinforced. By the time you're able to question it you're so set in the concrete it takes years or decades of struggle to unlearn the worst traits. When you unlearn them it's a threat to people who haven't had to question it.

When you're emotionally isolated from yourself, and surrounded by others who are also emotionally isolated, you're not motivated to be around them since they won't fulfill your needs. Then, you realize you're also not comfortable enough to bridge the divide to people who are in touch with their own emotions. So all this hard work and you're only a few steps down the path to connection. Usually with little sense of where to go from there.

When you finally get to the point of diving in and expressing emotionally outward, it's easy to get wrapped with anxiety. You expect others to push you away, not because they will, most people respond well, but because you're even less oriented and more vulnerable than ever. Though i would argue less fragile.

Lots of other posts discussing things like whether other people in the age group are socially available, and lack of third spaces.

Seems like everyone in your life treats you terribly. Is it possible that the problem might lie with the common factor here? Consider finding a therapist to help you through these thoughts.

They're just a bunch of squares
