I agree. And there is also a situation like this, where even if the claim is truthful, It doesn’t actually change anything. He could shift from being the CEO to being the number one advisor to the company, and given his ownership, it would still be the same in effect.
Well that’s an interesting question of priorities, isn’t it? If mass transit systems fail in major cities, so do the industries that rely on those systems. Are the companies going to step up and provide their own busing for employees? I think they don’t want to, I think they want to make the public pay for it all, I think they’re going to apply political pressure to find taxpayer funding.

That’s a bad description of it, though. There exist flash card apps, such as Anki and Memrise, and Duolingo has many other features. Grammar, reading, speaking, those are all built-in.
Of course some people prefer to learn grammar using the old-fashioned “grammar translation” method, and you are free to do so if you want to, but on average the speed of that method is slow.
Certainly it’s a good idea to have at least two study materials, which could include Duolingo, or not, according to personal preference.
There are many more things people can do, and many are. The problem is, going 100% prepper is a failing strategy, too. So how far to go? It is a difficult situation.
Um, prepare for a lack of … anything imported. Or don’t! It’s your life.
But they don’t have to suck it up, not really. They can just stop buying entire classes of items. The question is what Americans will now live without.
Risking America’s reputation? Maybe we’re slightly beyond that point.
What makes you think they think that? Odd…
The words have meaning. Of that. We can be certain. But I think you’re asking about people’s values, and doesn’t that always depend on the people in question?
Of course everything depends on the situation, but I see people supporting their family and community on a regular basis. It’s so obvious that many people really do want to make life better for people around them. It’s not like they do that 24/7. On the other hand, there are a lot of selfish assholes who only think about themselves out there, too. And some people will talk about community for selfish reasons, too.
It’s been like this my entire life. I don’t see things degenerating. But I don’t live where you live, I don’t know the people you know.
You mentioned the word country, but I have no idea what sort of background you have. Were you raised to be hyper patriotic? I think patriotism is generally evil because it frequently leads to nationalism and therefore racism and xenophobia. So if you’re suggesting that there is less patriotism in the world, then I think it’s a good thing.
Of course the NRA has been quiet. They always do this, because they’re not about to people. Do you remember when California passed stricter gun laws? Because black people were buying guns? That happened like 50 years ago. The NRA was silent then and they are silent now.
Of course it’s always good to point out the hypocrisy. But let’s also remember the historical context, that this is consistent with the organization’s values and it always has been and it always will be.
No, you often cannot replace the rights of marriage with other paperwork. But even if you could, does not that already answer your question? I think so…
If you want that legal framework and marriage provides it in a simple package, then maybe that’s the way to go.
The tag is a lie – he says he’s dialing down on DOGE but we all know it is untrue – but fortunately the authors clearly call bullshit on that claim in the middle of the article.
We have precedent on this exact issue, actually. Down in Florida 5-10 years ago. Sometimes the courts do as you say. Not all the time, though. Details matter.
Nobody says that. But you can pretend they do. The actual message is almost always something like the following.
The Democrats are in fact bad. Really bad. A bunch of pro corporate assholes who enabled the Republicans to get where they are today in ways that we all clearly predicted years and decades ago. And on immigration, they’re fucking horrible. The Republicans are worse.
Your article could be interesting, but it doesn’t fit here, my friend. This article is uniting is, causing us to think about how we can all protect ourselves and each other.
Economic protests are important, but they are only one tool. On their own, they fail to stop anything.
Your rhetoric set you up, my friend. The answer to what? It certainly solves some problems.
If you’re asking what Apple can do, a lot.
In civil litigation, one of the big steps is discovery, where each party is trying to gather information that they want to use. That can take several months or longer, especially when the two parties disagree on what information ought to be shared.
During discovery, and at other times, each party will file motions asking for certain things, certain rules to be imposed, for example. And then the other party will file a response motion. And then maybe the judge will schedule oral arguments, or maybe they won’t, and the judge will make a ruling. Because the deadlines are usually on the orders of months, and at the very least weeks, it’s easy for the process to get drawn out.
And the judge is typically working other cases. So even if they get some documents on Monday, they might not be able to schedule a meeting until 3 weeks from now, for example. But even if they could rush, there’s typically not a huge necessity to do so. In this situation, the judge could impose massive financial sanctions on Apple for past conduct, should they choose to do so. In the end, this is all about money and because of that it can be resolved by making one party pay the other a lot of money. So delaying is a tactic but it doesn’t necessarily save you money in the end, not if you lose, because the duration of the bad behavior is longer and therefore you owe more.
