Time to grab a roll of duct tape and tape up the mask. Surely that won't get super claustrophobic, right? ;)

I can imagine at least one screaming "Unlimited poweeer!" with a contorted expression, though.

Noctua still carrying the torch (for the most part). That beige/brown design is a mark of quality :)

- I know nothing about them. - I disagree with the things they're saying, so I know about them. - Anyway, I wish them luck, in spite of the supposedly ridiculous and abysmal things I disagree with. He just flat out refuses to think even for the briefest of moments before opening his stupid mouth.

Ollaan selkeesti otettu esimerkkiä amerikkalaisesta uutisoinnista ja jatkuvasta "alleged"-sanan käytöstä, ettei kukaan vaan pääse vetämään oikeuteen kunnianloukkauksesta.

What an utterly fucking useless feature that ultimately boils down to someone going "I maed all teh texturs in portal sponegbob lol" and that's pretty much the long and short of it.

Polling can be moderately accurate, yes, but they're also ridiculously easy to manipulate to get the result you want: poll a demographic favourable to your position, pose the questions in a way that pushes people to answer the way you want, etc. And my point was that they don't PROVE anything.

Honestly, polls prove sweet fuck-all. 2016 proved that.

Hatred and spite are great motivators. It's why I think it'd be great if you were able to cast a negative vote in all elections. I swear the voter numbers would shoot up across the board if you could go "Not that fucker!" rather than voting for a candidate you might be feeling a bit lukewarm about..

I am just absolutely flabbergasted about the shit I see from even left-leaning people. When the other option is fucking God-King Trump, is this really the time to start eroding the confidence in your candidate?

Shit, if anything it makes it even worse. I feel quite a strong sense of shame if my fellow countrymen are acting like wankers. I can't imagine going "But they're also <insert nationality/race/whatever here>, so surely I must support their asshattery!"

It's so odd to me that some people think that common ancestry should somehow trump... well... everything else. If someone's an utter pillock, I couldn't possibly care less if our families come from the same general area.

No, they didn't. They said that the president is immune to prosecution when it comes to official acts, but the decision of what's deemed official and what isn't doesn't lie with him. It's why the Washington Trump case has been kicked back to the lower courts to figure out if it was official or not.

Who decides that they're a threat to the Constitution? They ARE the governmental body that deals with constitutional questions.

Defend the Constitution, you say? You know what the #1 governmental body is when it comes to constitutional questions? It's the same body that has the ability to strike down presidential directives if they deem them unconstitutional.

Depends on whether having Supreme Justices assassinated is considered an official act or not. Is something like that a crucial facet of performing one's official duty as as POTUS? They've basically created a goddamn quagmire of grey areas and speculation.

When it comes to Trump, it ultimately just kicks the ball back to lower courts to sort out what constitutes an official act and what doesn't, which is ostensibly another delaying tactic. It's a super messy ruling, which is hardly a surprise at this point.

A lot of people are demanding the president does things he doesn't have the authority to do -- like packing the court -- so the question is warranted.

I understand it's super frustrating to see what's happening with SCOTUS, but outside of ordering an investigation into the Justices, none of the things you mentioned is something the president can do.

While I fully agree with the proposition of packing the court, the sad fact of the matter is that the president can't just add more seats at will.

I reckon it's the idea that dogs don't understand why there are suddenly kabooms happening combined with ignorance about mental illness. I don't necessarily see it as a question of value, but rather assuming that it's easy for people to take precautions and protect themselves.

My parents don't care if I return the tupperware or not, as my dad seems to be a habitual buyer of plastic containers. They've cupboards literally bursting with the things and dad's always reaching for a stack of new ones in the store, especially if there's a sale ;)

Ah, but you see, a woman's sole purpose is to get married ASAP and squeeze out offspring at a rapid rate. If she cannot seem to find a willing partner to do so with, she hasn't lowered her standards enough yet. Fuck getting an education and having a career, right? It's the 20s, the 1920s! Whee!

I've always found the idea of wearing shows at home super weird. Not only is walking around in dirty shoes odd to me, I really don't find the prospect of stewing my feet in shoes all day very appealing. Hell, I don't even wear socks at home, unless it's super cold.

And it's not even that Adobe suddenly went crazy and made an uncharacteristically ill-advised decision, but rather that they've gotten away with a ton of exploitative shit and have grown complacent. For many people, this was just the final straw in a huge pile of anti-consumer business practises.

Affinity's doing a pretty good job of making the UX feel similar to Adobe's suite, but there's still that small disconnect between it and my muscle memory that makes me hesitate to switch over. And then there's the whole thing with everyone I work with still being on Adobe, so I'm kind of stuck :/

Nii aivan! Sama juttu tän 54v. kansanedustajan kanssa, ku tuli riitaa alle parikymppisten mimmien vokottelussa ja sit piti kaivaa pyssy esiin. IL haastatteli parisuhde- ja seksuaaliterapeuttia asian tiimoilta, joka totes muun muassa, et "Osa miehistä nyt vain sattuu tykkäämään nuoremmista naisista."
