I agree, their influence over President Romney has been a disaster for this country.

MacheteZombie posted:I'm planning my wedding with my fiancee and I don't think we've ever been asked what kind of couple we are. I mean we're a straight couple, but when I've called places no one has asked, "are you one of them gay couples?" What would happen is that they'd accept a customer at first, then halfway through the planning process they'd discover that it's a same-sex ceremony and abruptly drop out. That's what happened in the case with the photographer who was (almost) hired to cover a lesbian wedding and started the push for laws like this. e: Also, their yelp page is now a wasteland of one-star ratings and gay porn. haveblue fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Apr 1, 2015 |

Grondoth posted:The weirdest thing about how vigorously social welfare programs get attacked is that a large portion of their policy aims are related to protecting consumption and thus smaller businesses. If a dude can't afford food, he's not buying food. A store could lose a loyal customer and that can be a real problem. To the sort of conservative who really believes that you can run a government on common sense and folksy analogies, the idea of "counterintuitive" or "second-order effect" is anathema. haveblue fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Apr 7, 2015 |

Jackson Taus posted:Quick question - why do we talk about hardening the grid but not hardening everything? Like wouldn't a massive EMP blow up approximately all electronics? Like everything from laptops and cell phones to newer cars to some thermostats? Hardening is expensive and you typically have to trade off something else desirable (radiation-hardened CPUs in today's space probes have performance equivalent to late 90s desktop computers). Also, if your cell phone or thermostat blows up you can get a new one; if the power grid blows up your country is hosed for years if not decades.

Grouchio posted:So *all* electronics would get fried from a powerful enough solar storm? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_1989_geomagnetic_storm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859 quote:Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving telegraph operators electric shocks.[7] Telegraph pylons threw sparks.[8] Some telegraph operators could continue to send and receive messages despite having disconnected their power supplies. The sun operates on a scale that utterly dwarfs the combined accomplishments of all human history. We've been lucky so far because it emits CMEs and flares in random directions and the Earth is a very small target. haveblue fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Apr 20, 2015 |

Joementum posted:They've reached an agreement on the abortion language for the human trafficking bill (Hyde restrictions will apply to funds used for healthcare and medical services), which means that the Lynch confirmation logjam will break this week or early next. Is this a complete Republican victory as far as that bill goes? They traded a vote on Lynch for all the language they wanted?

The MTA is a government entity. It's also not the first time they've lost a case like this and been forced to run offensive ads (not even the first time to Pamela Geller). Last time their solution was to put a disclaimer at the bottom of the ads, that'll probably happen again.

Then they say, well, we offer 25, but if you have a computer and a smart phone, you'll need our blazing fast 50mbps for an extra 35 dollars a month!

my bony fealty posted:I have consistently wondered what exactly a right-wing militia would do against modern military hardware if they actually were to rebel against the government. Like, great that they often have military experience and loads of small arms, but if the government really wanted to kill you, how are you going to stop a drone or jet from blowing you up? Hide behind the human shields the Bundy gang were happily boasting about using on TV.

The NY MTA has had enough of Pamela Geller winning first-amendment lawsuits and banned political ads entirely from public transit.
