I’m not convinced they’d even try passing the legislation once some executive order was issued. It would be touted as a victory for the Biden Administration, and then forgotten about until 2028…

God damnit, when did I become so cynical?

I completely agree… but that’s how this shit goes. This is definitely one of the situations where both sides pull the same shenanigans. When was the last time you heard Kamala Harris open her mouth? Granted, she’s been busy in a divided Senate, but Dan Quayle was more visibly present during the elder Bush’s administration than Kamala has been during Biden’s. Now she crawls out of the Senate chambers to talk about cannabis? Better late than never I guess.

It’s not like Biden’s administration hasn’t been doing anything useful. But these wildly popular policy initiatives that would do a lot of good often wait for politically convenient moments when it’ll be fresh in the electorate’s memory.

What do you mean? This is standard political fare… most of the population has the memory of a goldfish, so popular shit like this always waits until the election cycle.

Additionally, an executive order, or changing the chief of the DEA, are probably the least effective ways to handle it. All it would take is a republican administration to undo it all. The way that sticks best is legislation.

Sooo… what exactly do you expect Biden to do? He can’t declare by edict or executive order that abortion is legal in all the land… when SCOTUS reversed RvW, they said the practice is not constitutionally protected, kicking the legality back to the states. It will literally take an act of Congress to do anything. Even then, I’m not sure whether they can force legality in states that don’t want it.

Ugh… I really try to keep shit like that from happening. Autocorrect bonked on “carnivore” too, and that’s what grabbed my attention.

Damnit… that’s what I get for trying to sound smart, lol.

Yeah… don’t pay any attention to this kind of nonsense. Cats are obligated to carnivores. They don’t have the machinery to process a lot of non-meat foods. If they occasionally get into some things, it shouldn’t cause a problem.

Ultimately, just listen to your vet.

So far as the milk and cats thing… I think the issue is that they love it, they’ll almost always go for it, but many if not most are lactose intolerant… so too much will cause issues. If you had a cat who could process it, then great!

That’s why I drink at home…

I literally thought the T was going to be titties, and was prepared to laugh. Now I’m just sad.

The taste was just fine… it’s just that the execution was a bit off…

Please help me with this one. I’m genuinely interested in understanding this. Got any sources?

I just missed this gen entirely, and with the exception of the Switch’s successor, I don’t think I’m going to be buying another console for a very long time.

I used to be a dedicated console gamer… I had an NES growing up, then a Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast. Picked up a Game Cube somewhere along the way. Then I had the Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, WiiU, and finally the XBOne and Switch. I’ve had PCs mixed in there from time to time, but most gaming was done in the living room on console.

Then the Series X/S and PS5 come around… there were the massive supply issues, and everything was moving to 4K and I didn’t have 4K, and none of it seemed worth the upgrade. At this point my laptop was a dinosaur from 2011 and needed to be replaced anyway. So I built a desktop PC, which gets gamed on alongside my Switch, and my XBOne has been gathering dust.

Back in the day, the Democrats were the Klansmen, and Lincoln was a Republican.

God damn… thanks for that kind stranger. Much appreciated.

I love how every source familiar with the letter gave a different account of what was in it.

Got a source for that? Not that I doubt it but I hadn’t heard about that one. If true, that’s absolutely fucked.

Looks like a MI-17 had a baby with a UH-60.

You like that aircraft… check out the CH-53K King Stallion. They’re not without their problems, obviously, but if you’ve got to get it off the ground… there’s nothing the US has at least that has a comparable lift capacity.

If you don’t think the Apache is sexy, you’re not an aviation enthusiast.

The gal on the far left looks like the gal who played Tapanga had a baby with Chris Kattan.

No worries dude… I know I’ve been exactly in that spot

Dude, there’s military bases all over the country…
