Adolescent men would raid nearby tribes and kidnap their young women, which is the means by which genes were exchanged between tribes.

We see the misogynistic trends rise in late Hellenic periods

hmmm

It’s funny, I’ve had an Android, a Nokia Windows Phone, and an iPhone, and Windows Phone was the only OS in which I didn’t open every single app through search. The utter lack of an app ecosystem definitely played a part, but I honestly don’t think either of the other two handle home screens/“app drawers” very well. Every modern social media platform/messenger/etc. is built around vertical continuous scrolling because it’s easier. Why is horizontal, paginated scrolling the default for home screens?

Your chickens are definitely on a different diet than factory farmed ones, haha

Right, is this not the same thing as cost minus depreciation?

Again, I don’t know the first thing about this subject, so I’m trying to relate it to, like, home insurance. If your roof starts leaking all over, they don’t give you the full amount required to replace it, since shingles need to be replaced every couple decades. They give you the amount minus a linear multiplier of how long it’s been since they were last replaced.

Wouldn’t they only have to pay the depreciated value? After all, a replacement bridge will be more valuable than the one that was destroyed.

Legitimate question btw, I have no idea how… bridge finances work.

Ironic that Valve isn’t in there. They did $13B in revenue back in 2022.

Purdue pharma is private

That defeats the brute-force attack protection…

The idea is that brute-force attackers will only check each password once, while real users will likely assume they mistyped and retype the same password.

The code isn’t complete, and has nothing to do with actually incorrect passwords.

I have faith that these institutions can do extremely horrible things and cause irreparable harm, yes. I also know for a fact (not “faith”) that the severity and extent of the damage will differ drastically depending on which party is behind the wheel. If you think that the two parties will have an identical effect, let’s return to the topic of a national abortion ban, shall we?

Why would that hypothetical law (which won’t get passed: see their promise to protect Roe v. Wade)…

I never said it was a guarantee, or even particularly likely, that such a law will be passed in the near future. Democrats don’t need to pass a law to protect abortion in blue states, while Republicans need to pass one to ban it.

I appreciate your attempt to turn this into a discussion about what a Democratic legislature would or wouldn’t do, but I am very clearly talking about what Republican legislature can and will do.

If anything, your link to the Ivermectin case thing is further proof of that.

Well, that currently has nothing to do with SCOTUS, so that tells me just about everything I need to know regarding how much thought you put into any of this.

Isn’t the Supreme Court about to pass judgement on whether it’s legal to obtain mifepristone by overturning an FDA approval from the bench?

No, they are not. Mifepristone will continue to be available regardless of their verdict. It may, however, become less accessible if they decide to uphold the the Fifth Circuit Court’s position and revert to pre-2016 prescription requirements. That is, unless Democrats pass a law guaranteeing access to the medication.

Overturning medical determinations based on research is new territory.

It is not. You can to sue the FDA for a variety of reasons, just like any other government agency.

If you don’t think the best conservative thinkers money can buy are currently examining legal avenues by which they can federally ban abortion through a court decision then I’m not sure you’re paying attention.

Of course they are. They are also spending billions of dollars yearly to convince as many would-be Democrats as possible to just roll over, because it’s way easier to execute these goals with control of the legislature and presidency.

Has the Supreme Court passed a national abortion ban? Do you think it can/will? Do you think a Republican legislature and President can/will?

What laws have the Supreme Court passed, exactly?

Because you can’t unilaterally pass federal laws as the minority party?

Create a pledge to vote for a leftist candidate. If it surpasses ~85 million signatures, everyone who signed it will vote for the leftist candidate. Otherwise, they will all vote for Biden, since a minimum of 85 million votes are required to guarantee an election win.

I’d sign that shit, and I bet just about every leftist around here would, too. There’s literally no downside.

It is immensely difficult to get 85 people to agree to do something—never mind 85 million—but still not impossible. You almost definitely won’t be able to get 85 million signatures, but you’re more than welcome to try. If you don’t succeed, however, I encourage you to consider the realm of possibility when filling out your ballot. Voting for a third-party candidate and voting for Mickey Mouse—or a dead guy, or Vermin Supreme, or yourself—are equally irrelevant if the third-party candidate does not stand a chance of winning.

what is needed in any country really is a revolution and actual thorough democratization of every aspect of social and economic life possible

Good luck accomplishing any of that while under a dictatorship :)

You can assure me that a Republican triple majority won’t pass a national abortion ban?

How is it wise to vote for a candidate that has no discernible chance of winning the election, and is therefore incapable of actually representing my interests in government?

Just crank your fans to 100% haha
