Honestly, with how often they use the emergency shadow docket these days, I was surprised they even tried to give the illusion of merit.

Now Roberts is saying "the public should trust us! ".

Nope. This is what ruling without merit gets you. Distrust.

Yeah but who has time to read. I’m just gonna jump in and comment. /s

Honestly, I love DiMarchi’s approach.

I know it’s so hard to lose her. Even though their time with us is never long enough, 14 years full of fun, cuddles, and love is a beautiful, full life. She had her favorite people every day, and that meant everything. You were the best part of her life from start to finish.

To be fair, saying you don’t like tofu is often more about how you’ve had it than tofu itself.

It’s basically a neutral base, so it takes on whatever flavors and textures you give it. If it’s under-seasoned or cooked wrong, it’s bland and kind of unpleasant. But the same is true for a lot of foods. A badly cooked egg can be rubbery or sulfur-heavy, but that doesn’t mean eggs are bad overall.

Tofu just has a higher “skill floor.” You usually need to press it, season it well, and match the type to the dish. Done right, it can be crispy, creamy, chewy, or even meaty depending on how it’s prepared.

I would encourage you to venture out and give it a try. You probably haven’t had tofu prepared in a way you enjoy it yet.”

That kind of “no hope” thinking is how nothing changes. If you believe something would make the country better, then it’s worth more than just a passing comment.

You’ve got your own voice. Use it. In a system like ours, that means being able to explain your position and defend it when it’s challenged.

Otherwise you’re not really standing for anything, you’re just agreeing in theory and giving up in practice.

You have your voice. They haven’t taken that away yet. Use it effectively.

The CCP didn’t just subsidize cheap cars. They built out the manufacturing capacity to produce them at scale.

As China’s demographics shifted and long-term labor supply came into question, they leaned heavily into automation and industrial efficiency.

That’s the real reason these cars are so inexpensive. It’s not just lower prices, it’s a fundamentally different cost structure driven by scale, integration, and advanced manufacturing.

What’s unsettling competitors isn’t cheap cars themselves.

It’s the ability to consistently produce cars more cheaply than anyone else.

I just bought Gnomes this weekend since I had a day off.

It’s an interesting tower defense. Honestly, its the first time I’ve played a TD that felt original in years.

A 2008 Silver Toyota Yaris Sedan. I sure do. It’s amazing the things still run so we’ll.

This is far from normal. The United States is typically highly effective at maintaining resilient supply chains. What this situation reveals is just how poorly planned these decisions have been. There is no clear justification for how things have unfolded.

I think there’s a misunderstanding in how the situation is being presented.

The troops are not being starved or abandoned. They are being fed through military supply lines, which are separate from civilian systems like the postal service. The issue is that the food they’re getting isn’t great, which is common in active war zones where logistics prioritize calories and durability over taste or variety.

What you’re seeing about mail being “closed” is about care packages from family. Those go through military postal systems, and in a combat zone those systems can be shut down or restricted for safety and logistical reasons. It doesn’t mean the military stopped supplying food, it just means families can’t send extra snacks or comfort items right now.

So the situation is more about poor quality of life and disrupted mail, not troops being left without food or intentionally neglected.

Nope. She slew me.

Gorgeous!

Oil determines the price of shipping. Shipping determines the price of everything. They want to jack up everything.

They loved the prices they found gouge after the pandemic and want to see how far they can push society.

I apologize. I assumed English as your primary language and understood the phrase is an idiom. The idiom “lesser of two evils” implies that neither option is good, but one is clearly better than the other. It doesn’t have to be “evil” literally.

That’s a misleading-denominator fallacy. 8 billion isn’t the relevant pool. Most of those people don’t live in the US, don’t follow this story, don’t use GoFundMe, and have no stake in US immigration enforcement.

By your logic, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (17 million donors) represented only 0.2% of humanity, so ALS awareness was a nothingburger. Obviously not true.

Donating is a costly and strong signal. For every person who pays, many more quietly agree. 17,000 paying donors typically implies hundreds of thousands of sympathizers, which is a meaningful bloc in a country of 160 million voters.

You might have meant something narrower, like ‘loud online fundraising can overstate real support.’ That’s a fair point worth making. The 8 billion framing isn’t.

Not OP, but depending on how many languages they’ve learned, I’d guess it’s about practice. You need constant exposure or the language fades, and losing a language you’ve invested years into genuinely is a kind of loss. So yeah, ‘lesser evil’ tracks.

I mean I do comment sometimes, and yeah, this is it.

I don’t usually comment but yeah, this is it.
