Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?

  • On the state level, there are protections (for now) since a ton of stuff has to be done to the constitution to remove such powers and they don’t have the majority needed for that. Sure there are loopholes, but for every fed willing to turn a blind eye, there’s a state rep willing to disregard their made up policy. CA already has a lawsuit fund, lol.

    The federal level gets dicier. Despite the kiss asses on the GOP side, I don’t think they’ll have the courage to do deeply unpopular things for their region. For instance, removing the Dept of Education isn’t popular in places that get a lot of that Title I money. That ain’t a safe guard the Dems put in place, per se, but they made it in 79 under Carter and even Reagan couldn’t get the support to undo it in 80.

    Any current safe guards? Biden is unfortunately very bad at these things as far as I can tell and what good he did will likely be credited to Trump despite the truth. Best we’ve got I think is just trying to sure up as much Ukraine support as possible. The house Dems might have the best shot, though, given the narrow lead. With Senate, it’s probably a good thing Manchin wouldn’t let Dems abolish the filibuster… although the GOP might go ahead and do that themselves this time. Senators don’t really have to answer to their constituents because of incumbent advantage, so there isn’t at much deal making like in the house.



  • Why do the comments feel a bit whooshy on this one?

    That said, I bet you could find a kidnapper starter kit somewhere on the Internet. Fun fact, chloroform doesn’t work the way you think it does— it isn’t instant and it doesn’t last long enough to be of any use like this. Movies have lied to you. Keep this in mind if you have weekend plans with any CEOs near you!








  • Oh hey, I did that!

    There’s two problems I faced. One was I bought a used 1080 once I could afford the second one, and it was weirdly noisy (it also might be the one that broke first). Also you need a pretty hefty PSU. I forget how big I went… 1000? 1200? Anyway, other than that it rocked… like 7 years ago. Lol


  • Inappropriate anecdote for shit memes: my 2 year old says hello to the moon when I pick her up around 5pm from daycare, and she says goodbye to the moon when we enter the house and goodnight to the moon when she goes to bed if it’s visible from her window.

    Moon love is real, yet somehow only Mr. Sun gets a song.
