I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

man i lost this argument long before it even started but i find the idea of making art of any kind and then gatekeeping who is allowed to fully enjoy and participate in it loving abhorrent

this isnt even close to wishing i had full access to the english language just so i could tell grandpappys favorite racist joke and do my part to keep systemic oppression rolling while demonstrating a lack of anything remotely resembling a sense of humor

this is being pissed off about having to worry about which loving song lyrics gently caress it never mind it doesnt matter what my cracker rear end thinks

the high water mark of race relations in the us was white people and black people laughing at blazing saddles together in the same theater and its all been downhill since then

The n word was used as a verbal weapon by white people for 400( Not an English major)years. It's now the only word that you're not allowed to say. As my wife explained to my white rear end, "it's the one time you have to hold your tongue, how often do you really have to hold your tongue as a white male?"

Saying it's all downhill from some single moment is an abandonment of the progress but also the struggle.
Content:
My grandpa-in-law told me a story of him growing up in Missouri and how when he was a kid (in the late 30s-early 1940s?) they had "Colored" swim only on Wednesday, then they'd drain the pool Thursday and refill it for white folks swim for Friday thru to the next Wednesday. So he and his friends would sneak over the fence and piss in the pool Thursday nights, that'll show them.

My wife's family had never heard the story before and I'm honored he shared it with me.

Great guy, joined the Navy at 16 and served on the sub USS Caiman(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Caiman) in the Pacific during WW2(lied about his age, had to get his deadbeat father to sign papers to allow him to continue serving as a 17yo when he was found out). He got a naked lady tattoo on his forearm on leave in the Phillipines, and married the most prim and proper lady, then it took him decades to get a coverup, a real sailor all around.

But he was also pretty depressed during the George Floyd/BLM protests because the same fight he was fighting as he raised his family, his grandkids are still facing the same poo poo, trying to get society to not just wantonly murder black folks.

But looking at how kids are these days makes me feel like we're still growing humans to be better than ourselves, it's just a long arc

I'd love a huge chocolate frosty and a small fries thanks

Would be fun if a lawyer for a sure to be losing side used their time during arguments in front of the court to directly ask how much for Alito and Thomas’ votes. Thomas is far beyond caring but would be funny to see Alito fume even if it would probably be a bar disciplinary issue.

You would be able to make a living as the pundent that "stuck it to SCOTUS". I'm sure there would be book deals and at least "legal analyst" at a major news network.

Thomas would just have some burn about whatever law school that lawyer went to.

Seriously, there was like a decade where the only comment Thomas made during oral arguments was:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-thomas/yes-it-was-a-joke-by-supreme-courts-thomas-idUSBRE90M1H320130123

quote:

At the January 14 argument, the justices considered the qualifications of two court-appointed lawyers, one from Harvard and one from Yale, who had once represented a Louisiana death penalty defendant. It was a side issue as the court weighed whether the defendant was denied a speedy trial.

The revised transcript shows that the lawyer representing Louisiana, Carla Sigler, called the Yale-educated lawyer a “very impressive attorney” and the Harvard-educated lawyer “very exceptional.”

That prompted Thomas to weigh in. “Well, there - see he did not provide good counsel,” he said.

Alito would probably rage.

READING COMPREHENSION IS HARD

facialimpediment posted:

One thing that Donnie and his merry band of fuckos would do a lot is run a Five Whys routine on "I want to break federal law, why can't I?". And most times they'd gently caress around because there were minimal penalties for finding out, or they just didn't give a gently caress.

I'm not necessarily saying Biden should do that, as his route to reelection probably includes being "boring" and "normal". But they should look at every single loving thing they should do to give the court the middle finger. Set the interest rates at 0%, make tons of indefinite-postponement options for borrowers, etc.

Because slippery slope arguments are absolutely in play with this current court. They do not give a gently caress about standing, precedent, or "case or controversy" doctrines. Six fucks deciding what goes when they only need five.

yeah this is the world Biden spent his career building and he's absolutely not going to meaningfully fight it and neither are decorum brained asshats still trying to find the magic word combo that will make conservatives play by the rules again. thanks.

It's really unknown as to why, but DeSantis's dumbass strategy is to run to the right of Donnie. And so they've judged that the only way to do that is to get really, truly, obscenely online. So their weirdo online brigade basically consists of people Donnie rejected for being *too* online (yes, he did reject some), or paid creepos.

You don't need to memorize any rhyme, just use the knuckle method.

Start counting from a raised knuckle and name months going from knuckle to valley between fingers. Knuckle means 31 days in that month, January to July

Now start again. August through December. Knuckle means 31 days, the little valley between means 30 or fewer.

In addition to the mentioned pressure differential, I feel like there might be a large difference between explosive decompression and catastrophic implosion.

Such as the direction body parts are going (out vs in)

The person doesn't explode in an explosive decompression. Your blood just flash-boils and all the lipids condense into fat globules. The dude in Byford Dolphin who became landscaping is because he was blasted through a hatch that was open an inch or two.

I'm not sure if we've ever recovered anybody who was in a catastrophic implosion like this?
