  1. Let's break this down. The show is produced by private parties, not governmental entities. Their job tends to be to make shows that people will watch and advertisers will buy on. Some people will like changing the race of the characters, some won't, most won't care. Did King ever specify that Mark Petrie was white? Pretty arguably, all of television and movies is pandering. Why do you choose to get worked up about a "race change" in a TV show? What about the other plot departures? Why does it matter? Does it threaten you?
  2. Well, when all that labor involved gets barely subsistence wages and no workplace or environmental protections, that's the way it go.
  3. You can't really get an accurate second shot, with recoil any faster with a semi-auto. Nonetheless: Common Soviet sniper rifle, based on AK-47 action.
  4. I have to remind myself that we can't coast through the B12 while growing the players and chemistry. And keep a high seed. Tbh though after about 10 years of fanaticism and wondering if JE would ever turn the corner, I kinda blew my load the last couple of years. Refractory period. I also think we have too damn many transfers.
  5. Wenaas too. Although I am thinking her final four performance was more an aberration.
  6. Fucking Chris Rufo offering bounties for proof of cat eating in Springfield. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-cats-grill-chicken-ohio-b2612999.html The bounty beliefs the story, ab initio. And, if there wasn't enough information to prove that Rufo is a disinfo peddler, this should do it.
  7. I suppose rather than 25thing him, he could resign and let Vance implement New Gilead.
  8. She's an even bigger loser than Trump though. Not even these fucktards can convince themselves that she's successful somehow.
  9. You fucking sawed-off, stumpdick, okie twat plumber with latent syphilis, the federal government doesn't have any standards of ir-regularties. Wayne. You cunt.
  10. https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/31/politics/ralph-northam-third-trimester-abortion/index.html
  11. Gonna put this here instead of the other threads, but dammit, I miss YGIFS.
  12. Well, I think Clark has some extra appeal in that she is a white girl and ostensibly heterosexual. They like that she's putting it on all those nasty brown lesbos.
  13. Dallas/DFW also has a pretty "vibrant" Mormon community, which I think both attracts and guides them there.
  14. And I think a lot of the less-looney Trumpers have become either PNG or are quietly distancing themselves from the loser.
  15. Yep, that's an all-timer. I didn't have the plastic figures that the ringmeat kid did, but a lot of my friends did. That could have been me.
  16. Whether Biden's policy is wise, particularly keeping Trump's, which were broader-based (as opposed to targeted to certain things like EVs), is another question altogether. Also, I have seen some scholarly things that indicate the main effect of tariffs is not to even the trade balance overall, but to shift it to other foreign low-cost providers, like Vietnam, etc.
  17. https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/09/10/us-protectionism-biden-trump-tarrifs-harris-china/ Biden even increased them on certain goods. The idea seems to be to reduce dependence on Chinese imports. Even if it hurts us. Whatever you think of tariffs, Trump clearly does not understand them and attempting to finance programs using tariffs is pure idiocy.
  18. Well, further, it depends on the cause of action. What you most commonly see in federal courts is a "1983 violation," which is a violation of civil/constitutional rights. If a state permits it, state law torts can be alleged in addition and might have a different flavor of qualified immunity than what the constitutional torts under 1983 permit. Texas' version of official immunity for state torts is basically 100% immunity, it's not even qualified. Colorado apparently is waiving immunity for state torts, but has a damage cap. So that's why you pretty much only see 1983 claims in Texas.
