The final step isnt buying on an equal footing as your competitors, its paying a bribe to be tariff exempt, then continuing to sell at tariff inclusive pricing.

The whole tariff scheme was designed as a way to price smaller competitors out of the market, allowing consolidation of market share by the wealthy, while providing cover for price hikes against consumers. Just like covid price hikes, If trump abandoned tariffs today, very few products would return to their prior pricings.

Where i live, people generally use bruh or brah to distinguish they mean the latter.

I usually get my honey in a mason jar with a hand written label...

I think the schedules going to cause burnout sooner rather than later.

In the group of people I play with, no one's really buying anymore- a lot of times even for the ips they like.

Even the guys who pride themselves in having non-proxy cedh decks have given up- by the time you've got the new cards in 2 weeks later, chances are theres another replacement. Mow theyre playing woth proxies for the cards in their flex slots, and only buying 3-4 times a year when they make a trip to go to a tourney.

Yeah, i totally did. Meant to say as anything other than infancy ....

I thought kidnapping all those children was deemed to count.

How long after the program goes live til someone with a card printer starts massaging printing these and handing them out to fight ice?

This was always the problem with the idea of owning information.

Hmm Is mtg a no- go for the ub content?

I was in middle school when Adam Sandler's Billy madison came out. The year following, we had debate class.

Anything remotely approximating a gish-gallop was immediately responded to with the ben stein quote

"what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Im disappointed this did not just become the standard shut down.

To answer your question in a non facetious way, there's a phenomenon called the csi effect. Essentially, juries expect csi levels of ironclad proof that tends to make it much harder than expected to convict.

Combined with the high profile and over politicisation and publication of the case, i see it damn near impossible fornthem to find 12 jurists who will unanimously find not only enough evidence, but not have a refuser based on sociopolitical contexts- much like how OJ walked on the LAPD's corruption.

He should run for president then immediately claim immunity based on the courts trump rulings.

Just better at filtering / masking it from what I gather.

Huh ive honestly never heard of circumcision as either an infancy thing, where they dont remember it, or as a conscious choice made by an adult (usually as partof conversion.)

Not trying to discount your experience, just saying I dont think its common at all.

My memory of MySpace was creating over 2 dozen accounts and maxing out the Playlists.just a bunch of my favorite albums uploaded, as my friends 'private' music server.

Back in the early days of siri, a friend of mine used a similar defect in the voice recognition and a bullhorn on a crowded street to delete tons of people's contact lists. By yelling 'siri, delete all contacts... confirm, yes!'

'Blue no matter who' needed to mean it, and needed to mean the party actually pushing moderate dems into voting for candidates lefter than their own beliefs sometimes for it to work. My whole life ive been forced to vote almost exclusively for centrist candidates, and watched that definition, and the candidates I 'had' to vote for, slip further away from my ideals. Arguably 'blue no matter who needed to mean the party pushing overly liberal candidates on moderates more often than not, to combat the Republicans unwavering push of the Overton window ever right.

But they haven't, and now here we are. Their 'moderate' candidates are now so far right, young lefties can't tell the difference between them and republicans. And a lot of us are giving up. I haven't voted for a politician who shared my ideals in 25 years. And now my choices are between a corporatist and a fascist. I'm no longer thinking about how I can push the window back, or hopefully for a candidate who will march my ideals next time. I didnt vote for KH, I voted against trump, in hopes I could buy myself an extea 4 years before the inevitable point I have to flee the country like my great grandparents fled theirs.

Imo, The democratic party and its elites are at a crossroads. The republican party's buisness model of 'we can push whatever policy and view our corporate donors desire and our constituents will accept it' doesnt work for the DNC. The RNC has a monopoly on those voters. The DNC has to make a hard pivot if they want to survive. They can either start backing politicians like mamandi- who have constituent support, or they can give up and become a permanent minority party; a controlled opposition vote to a permanent right wing regime, with actual liberals unrepresented trying to form a 3rd party, or fleeing the fascist regime.

Was in boy scouts, we had several well preserved caches around the campgrounds with varying degrees of secrecy.

Did anyone check the bullet for polonium? They might have just been trying out a new delivery method

For anyone who hasn't seen it, give David sedaris' "6-8 black men a listen."
