In theory that’s how it works already. In practice, there is currently no disadvantage to appointing partisan judges and no system in which to objectively measure partisanship of a candidate. What that means is that there will always be partisan parties appointing partisan judges and there will always be candidates who claimed to be neutral who will be either accused of or proven to be partisan anyway.

In the current system true neutrality on the bench does not exist

Problem is that requires good faith from both sides. If only one side adheres to that then the other side uses it as ammunition and inputs their politically appointed judges anyway.

Case in point, Senator Mitch McConnell crying out in 2015 about Obama wanting to appoint someone at the end of his term, saying that he would be robbing the next president of that legacy and it would be a political appointment. And then Mitch McConnell said nothing as they appointed and Trump approved three blatantly political nominees.

Both sides have to agree that those positions be apolitical or one side just ends up getting screwed. And of course we are not going to see that because Republicans don’t have a shred of decency left and the whole party.

Yes. Our country is run by geriatrics who, among other things related to modern society, legislate on technology they don’t understand. We need younger members with more flexible minds who have at least spent some part of their younger lives dealing with problems we have a modern variation of today.

But especially SCOTUS members. Any kind of term limit on them would be better than what we have.

It’s not just a data mining cash grab. It’s a bigger cash grab than that. If they had required the account link from the beginning they would not have sold the game in countries where you can’t get a PlayStation account.

They clearly waited until the hype from the game settled in before they made this requirement so that they could make all of the money from the countries they don’t service.

That way they could squeeze a little extra out of the player base by mining their data long enough later that players can’t get a refund. Doesn’t matter to them that they’re forcing players in half the geological world to quit.

Truly despicable. They should be forced to issue refunds to players they are effectively kicking from the game, but something tells me nothing is going to happen.

I start almost every comment I make on those instances with

I know this will net me a ban

to play a bit of reverse psychology with the mods there, who don’t touch my comments when the denizens there inevitablely say

Oh yeah you think you’re so smart well we don’t ban opposing opinions unlike some places

And the mods there have their hands tied because banning me would prove their own guys wrong.

It’s worked pretty well so far.

What happened here? Was that a bot?

Does Dr Doom count for this? He believes he’s seen humanity perish in every reality except the one where he becomes the absolute ruler.

Seriously. Don’t let the sunken cost fallacy keep you from enjoying something premium that you bought

As an owner of both, the steam deck actually handles most switch games better.

Although, as I’m sure you know, the only way to legally do this is to already own the games you emulate.

That’s because those are rookie numbers. Real ones wait to make a screenshot post until their phones are at 2%

It’s all about perspective. There’s no backfiring if your goal was to make money with no regard to the longevity of the platform.

Do you think Reddit cares if the platform tanks after they make all their money?

Chipotle tobasco is some of the best hot sauce I’ve ever had. I honestly have no idea if they even sell outside of Louisiana, but if you ever get the chance, try it.

The denizens of Louisiana have such an elevated taste for spice that any time I even mention it to anyone here they say “oh that shit sounds basic, try this one” and I can’t get anyone to actually try it.

It has a kick, but not as hot as a full fledged hot sauce. Nowhere near making you sweat hot. But the flavor profile is 👌

Given the whole “information can neither be created nor destroyed” aspect of atomic physics, taken literally, this theory checks out.

I’m hoping we see some huge fines in the near future on them, as employees raise complaints and even sue them for their practices

Thays the best case scenario. I’m just hoping that our bought-and-paid-for SCOTUS doesn’t decide to rule in favor of the companies on a party line vote.

That would effectively transition companies in the US to be above the law with regards to workers rights. Unions would stop being a thing when companies can legally just fire everyone who tries. Pay discrepancies would always fall in favor of the payer. Forget about time off or Healthcare.

A ruling like that might set us back a century on worker’s rights, and I’m genuinely afraid that our courts are capable of it.

They’re pretty much the only company on the planet that can push the “because your friends have one” aspect in their marketing and succeed. Apple users think they’re all part of this exclusive club and really don’t care that they’re straight up being robbed by the cost.

On the topic of generating traffic: I use a little app off of github called geddit. It essentially uses the RSS feed reddit has and skins it into an app. It’s pretty bare on features since you can’t log in, but you can have a personalized front page. And no ads as well. And nsfw posts/subs aren’t blocked.

That’s my compromise for accessing niche communities without giving reddit traffic.

Edit: It’s an android app. Not really an option if you have an iPhone I guess

Dude had a chance to defend himself in the first trial and really thought “if I don’t go they can’t prosecute me” was going to work. Like an ostrich burying his head.

This is the man that held the presidency for 4 years.

Always have. They want money, not fans

Sinks that are directly next to each other are usually separated by a divider that’s lower than the counter. I assume that’s what he’s talking about

God, you’re so full of yourself it’s hard to even read
