The next EO will be declaring access to a digital bank account and the internet a basic right. Right?

They should stop taking weapons from the US to teach them a lesson.

I don’t think so. The bill was written by a chemist. I don’t know what fentanyl or narcan are from a chemical perspective to be able to evaluate if the law would apply to narcan. It says this:

‘‘(e)(1) Unless specifically exempted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of a fentanyl-re- lated substance, or which contains the salts, isomers, and salts of isomers of a fentanyl-related substance whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation.

Let me be clear that I’m no fan of RFK, anti-vaxxers, or any fad diets. I am a fan of evidence-based nutrition and practicing moderation. I believe that a varied diet with lower-processed foods is best for most people.

Avocado and EVOO are much less processed, which is generally preferable to more highly refined ingredients. Refining removes a lot of nutrients and concentrates what’s left. That means you need a lot less of it to influence the balance of things within your body. It doesn’t make highly refined oils “bad”, but it does make watching your intake of them more important.

Specifically about the oils, seed oils are high in omega-6 and low in omega-3. Your body needs both and it cannot produce them. The issue comes from the fact that the average American diet has a stark imbalance of way too much 6 and not enough 3. Refined oils provide a lot of 6 but 3 is harder to come by. Getting a good amount of 3 means eating oily fish and nuts, and choosing more balanced oils for a more balanced diet.

The ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is 2:1 or 1:1, but for most people in the U.S., the ratio is actually a whopping 10:1 or even 20:1.

The company must have more than 500 equity holders and have more than $10 million in assets. If the company maintains a limited number of owners, they will never be required to go public regardless of their valuation.

And what did Trump get in return for his massive concession? Anything? What’s the point of a trade war if you back down at the slightest bit of pressure? What a fucking dunce. This whole thing is unbelievably stupid.

There is no requirement to ever go public, in the US anyway. I work for a multi-billion dollar company that’s entirely privately held. It just tends to happen because it’s the best way for the equity holders to convert their ownership into cash. It can be hard to sell a whole company because that requires someone to go all in to buy it and they must accept all the risk of maintaining its value. But you can go public and get tons of investment money without having to sell.

I used to read it to see what conservatives were thinking. There used to be actual discourse in the comments about policy positions. It’s now nothing more than brainrot and Russian trolls.

Why craft your message with the primary goal of not angering a bunch of snowflakes who are going to attack you literally no matter what you say. We’re up against people that think wearing a tan suit is a newsworthy scandal and electing a rapist is fine. Or do you need me to say “found civilly liable for sexual assault but never criminally convicted of rape”?

EOs are not laws and can only direct the federal government’s actions. The President has no authority to unilaterally control a company, except for scenarios where it is interacting with the federal government. Just like the “two genders” EO, it only applies to the federal government. States and companies can continue to support non-binary and other options for sex and gender identity.

I assume CBS is doing back story spotlights on each of the 90 hostages Israel is supposed to release?

Yes, to the tune of 10s or maybe a couple 100s of millions of dollars. But now Saudi Arabia can come in and buy a billion worth of the coin as a direct donation to trump with zero oversight. This is open corruption on a scale we simply haven’t seen before.

And yet my android phone is able to detect what song is playing 24x7 without being a noticeable drain on the battery or using extra data. Doesn’t seem far fetched to be able to do keyword spotting under the same constraints.

Here’s one example of a company getting caught: https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/us/next-time-you-talk-on-your-phone-be-careful-facebook-and-google-are-listening-to-your-conversations/articleshow/113071827.cms

Just click the link, it’s the first thing on the page. Yes, the cop body slammed him face first into the asphalt for absolutely no reason.

Right, you gave up. Implying that you did hold the opinion that there should be a special word for anti-jewish, and likely still do hold that position, but the meaning of the word has changed from your desired definition. I’m asking why you did, and maybe still do, believe anti-jewish should have its own unique word in the first place.

ETA: I’m asking legitimately. I’ve never understood why anti-jewish hate is so much more special than anti-muslim, anti-black, or any other sort of bigotry. I understand the persecution of Jews throughout history, but I also understand the persecution of Muslims, black people, etc. throughout history.

Why do you require your own special word that’s exclusive to one particular religion? Why not just use bigot like every other situation?

Congressional pay, and all federal positions, should be a function of the minimum wage. The job pays the minimum wage times some number. If they want a raise, the only way to get it is to raise the minimum wage.

I think they’re setting this up to be a whole bunch of nothing. Their current plan is to just tell the states to deport everyone. States don’t do shit on behalf of the federal government for free. If the fed doesn’t pay, the states say no way. So a few red states will deport some people but then he’ll go start to blaming dem states for cock blocking him.

Don’t get me wrong, this will destroy the lives of thousands of people and be a stain on our nation. But no way they’re deporting 20,000,000.

It’s totally possible! I live in CO and Comcast had a legal monopoly per state law. Nobody else is allowed to compete with their cable service. But you know what isn’t cable? Fiber! A local broadband company just installed fiber in my neighborhood this spring. I signed up for $89/mo gigabit service, no data cap, no installation fees at all. Between when I signed up and when they turned on service, they upgraded my service to 1.2 gigabit, same monthly price, no cap, no commitment, no upsell (their only other service is rural satellite Internet).

I talked to the technician installing it and he said they aren’t getting any subsidies from anyone. Not the city, state, or fed. It’s simply economically viable to run new gigabit fiber for $89/mo. All it takes is a company that can make the initial infrastructure investment.
