what a long, strange trip it's been.

The way I see it, it ought to be legislated/prosecuted under the scope of negligent infliction of emotional distress. It’s a violation of the prospective parent(s), not the embryo.

The concurring opinion in the case highlights repeatedly that the statute they are ruling on needs to be clarified by the legislature. Whether that happens in AL seems unlikely.

Justice Alito takes aim at marriage equality again, warning that Obergefell means "Americans who do not hide their adherence to traditional religious beliefs about homosexual conduct" are being "labeled as bigots and treated as such" by the state and "society."

I want to say overturning gay marriage is just a step too far and they're not that stupid but, well, here we are. We're not even past the doorstep for decades of this court and it's gonna loving suck.

I enjoy the growing existential dread I feel each day because of the courts influence. It's great. I can't wait for marriage to be annulled, LGBT folks made illegal, and abortion to be punished via execution.

Why is he concerned about religious beliefs again? I feel like he should know there should be a separation of church and state.

Yup. Obergefell is probably at risk once the 5th circuit comes up with some bullshit to justify it. Griswold (contraception case) is at risk if/when Donnie wins and decides to use the Comstock Act to halt distribution of abortion pills and plan B. Insurrection Act is going to be a real motherfucker when Donnie cites it for any random thing and the current court goes "well he's the president, can't counter his sage and wise judgment".

It really is something that Democrats in the early Obama age were too decorum-brained to start passing poo poo to clear out laws like Comstock from being a thing and even allowing the Supreme Court to suck like this one is. At least I understand recently how one/two democratic senators were too decorum-brained, but the Obama era had like 10+.

I was reminded today that america was the undisputed home of avantgarde art for 1930-1970, and then philosophy, medicine, pop culture, engineering, architecture, journalism, everything progressive save for one area as a minor concession. And then the 1980's.
Logically, sure, no surprises, but. It’s still such a strange feeling.

Yeah that's how I interpreted it as well. Most managers I've had don't give a gently caress so long as work gets done and they don't have to put out fires you're creating due to not getting work done.

The few that were micromanaging or wanted to constant check over my shoulder weren't my managers for very long.

You may not remember J.R. Majewski, but here is a brief summary of this fine gentleman.



  • Became the Republican candidate for the Ohio 9th district (Toledo) in 2022 after going full MAGA.

  • Jumped on the QAnon bandwagon and was at the Capitol on January 6 and later says he's "Pissed off with himself" for not entering the building.

  • Claimed after 9/11 he joined the Air Force and saw combat in Afghanistan. The Air Force said he was in Qatar but never Afghanistan. Also he got demoted for drunk driving at Kaneda

  • Gets largely abandoned by the GOP

  • He lost by 13 points to Marcy Kaptur, who's been in Congress literally since before I was born, and I'm 39 (:cripes:)

  • Dropped out of the running for the 2024 primary last may.

  • in December he re-joined the running and Trumpists are now backing him because the leading candidate was caught saying bad things about daddy trump.


All of this brings us to this month when ole JR couldn't help himself

"Shout out to all the Democrats living in Mom's basement that like to talk poo poo on the Internet. You know, no matter how hard you try, arguing on the Internet, it's like being in the Special Olympics," he said. "No matter how good you perform, you still have… you're still loving retarded at the end of the day."

"Yeah, that's gonna get clipped and ran against me in the general election," added Majewski, later adding that his "aunt has Aspergers."

I don’t disagree with the statement he said, so much, as being full blown QAnon, 1/6, Trumper type.

He’s shooting for a specific demographic, and they use another word with a hard R all the time and they feel emboldened every time a Trump cultist does this poo poo. And then we see video of them getting their poo poo kicked in by “Antifa” or wtf ever.

I mean, the R word was once the PC choice over mongoloid. I forget what we’re supposed to call MR people anymore, so I’ve just been using MR in the rare instance it comes up.

But! But! something something culture, builds character, new softer army/marine corps something something

edit: reminds me of when contractors decided to put AC in the barracks in Fort Drum in the summer of '05 I think. They cut the holes in the walls and covered them up with trash bags. That's it. All winter we had a huge gaping hole in the wall. They fixed it next summer but I was deployed. You could keep your box of wine in there and it would turn into a slushy!

Then there was the mold you couldn't escape and the mice. Dead mouse in the vending machine, dead/cooked mouse in the day room microwave, had an airborne mouse infiltrate and PLF from the drop ceiling. Made me the man I am today lol.
