Bird in a Blender posted:I really debated about getting a job with the USPS, but having a job with hard set hours would be such a hardship with a kid that I just tossed that idea out of my mind. Maybe once my kid hits high school I could consider doing something like that. I would try and talk to a local union steward before gambling on this, but you can use sick leave for caring for dependents and after the initial 90 day probation it's impossible to get fired short of direct insubordination or commiting a felony.

I like the insane idea of making Trump Speaker, because he would loving hate it. Like, you need to be a real policy wonk to want to be Speaker.

Aren't Boebert and MTG currently feuding because Boebert won't fully cop to "yes, that was an insurrection and if I'd been in charge Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence would have their heads on stakes outside the capitol building right now" like MTG.

Pain of Mind posted:Older, but for the last 8 months or so my 3 year old will wake up between 11pm-1am and go to sleep in our bed every single night. We cannot get him to stay in his bed no matter what we do. Obviously just some latent evolutionary thing where you deny any chances at having a younger sibling to take any attention away from them. When I was little my mom would turn down the thermostat in my room so it'd be too cold to get out from under the covers so I wouldn't get into their bed at night.

What are the consequences if someone doesn't or can't pay the child support? Seems like another way to criminalize the poor. Like identical cases but one guy is rich and one is poor. Already the rich guy is gonna be in jail for a shorter amount of time because he can afford an attorney and isn't using an overworked public defender, after they get out, he can afford the child support, the poor guy probably can't. Getting a job that pays enough for food and rent is hard enough right out of prison, now there's child support payments...

Amy Pole Her posted:Okay then we add it as a modifier then? Killing a single parent/sole provider? So the poor folks simply go to prison longer? I'm just saying that the law does nothing to prevent drunk driving, likely does very little for the victim's survivors since the vast majority of people will be unable to pay, and worsens society in general by just further criminalizing poverty. Like, gently caress drunk drivers, I'm not going to cry for them or anything, but I don't like unequal punishment for equal crimes.

seiferguy posted:The law does get unevenly applied so I don't think it's necessarily bad that people are thinking about this. For example, early last year, the county I lived in repealed wearing a helmet on a bike (which is a noble idea and in theory should save lives), because cops only went after minority people who weren't wearing them. The analysis showed the discriminatory costs were hurting them more than the push to have them wear helmets. Yeah, everyone should wear a helmet when riding a bike. But I've gone helmetless in places with a helmet law, in front of cops, and never been hassled. I have seen cops use that excuse to hassle black teenagers more than once.

Leperflesh posted:Think of it not as an annoying burden but an opportunity. Being able to provide a cover letter is great because it lets you put things that don't fit in the rest of a form-letter or formal resume. You can say something short and sweet that helps you stand out. "I know some guys who drive for your company, you've come highly recommended and I'm excited to join the family" (only if that is true, of course) for example. Yeah, everyone is desperate for truckers.

You cast Awkwafina in a movie because you want Awkwafina, there's a lot of actors like that, they do one thing and they do one thing well, they don't disappear into the role. It's like complaining about Arnold Schwarzenegger acting the same in every movie.

I know I said it was impossible for the Dems to actually get their guy as Speaker of the House, but now, I still don't think it's likely, but it doesn't seem that impossible. https://twitter.com/zdroberts/status/1611087345499148288?s=20&t=cJ84Z99XSSabrjBll5QKqQ

Intruder posted:The only way it happens is if some of the moderate Rs try to punish the fringers and just vote Jeffries in, but then they're dead meat in 2024 so no way I thought someone said they could change the rules to make it a plurality, which I could see happening as a threat against the hold outs "Vote for McCarthy or it will be a loving democRAT" and the hold outs still holding out. Again, not likely, but no longer impossible.

Bird in a Blender posted:Sort of. My understanding is they need a majority of all the voters in that round. If a bunch of people missed the vote, then that number goes down. There’s rumors that some R’s are going to put due to medical appointments, and a death in the family. If enough leave, the Dems could win. If that's true Jeffries is literally one vote away from winning. I added up the votes in the screenshot I posted and it's 423, which would make 212 a majority.

Leperflesh posted:If he wins, is that it for 2 years, or can they just like decide to hold another vote next week and replace him I think that's it for two years. Isn't the speaker who decides what the house actually votes on? That's why it's important, if the Speaker doesn't declare a vote it doesn't matter how many members of congress support it, it doesn't get a vote? gently caress I wish I'd paid more attention to my 5th grade civics class.

Leperflesh posted:Yup McCarthy has won, the last few holdouts voted "present" which drops the threshold so he won 216-212. Apparently he had to make "concessions" just to get that far, whatever that actually means. The holdouts were asking for the ability to declare a no confidence vote with a single congress person wanting it, so that could be a lot of fun over the next two years.

kiimo posted:There's a five-way stop sign intersection in a Beverly Hills neighborhood and it's the most perfect example of the particular type of aloof, entitled LA assholes that exist. I had to go through it for work for years and it's like impossible for these people to take turns. All five lanes try to go out of turn at the same time like every single time. It's amazing. That's just a massive failure of traffic design. The idea that people would be able to navigate a five way stop is delusional. Every single 5 way intersection I've ever seen uses traffic lights.
