Ummm actually nickels have over 1.5x the volume of pennies, so while it would cost more, it would be less than 5x as expensive to fill your ass with pennies.

Depends on the case before the Court. The Court has the power to invalidate any law passed by Congress on the grounds that such law is unconstitutional. So one could imagine a ruling which rules both that the respect for marriage act is unconstitutional (first amendment or no congress authority due to not covered by commerce clause) and that Obergefell was wrongly decided (general overrule of SDP)

Has anybody ever been asked “Coffee or donut?”

Isn’t it the same theory as Mormons going on missions? The Mormons know that they aren’t going to convert anybody, but the act of doing it solidifies their faith and builds camaraderie with others who also are on the mission.

Same too here I would think - by participating in the protest, the protestor solidifies his political convictions (as it were) and feels like he is part of a larger whole when he looks around and sees the other protestors. One would hope that they understand their protests aren’t going to accomplish anything politically tangible - that they aren’t saying “just one more protest, trust me bro, one more protest.”

What a disingenuous question - was he about to deflect into talking about gang violence or something? Obviously the answer is “not counting gang violence” and then when comparing the 5 transgender mass shootings to the amount of (non-gang) mass shootings, it would show how small of a number it is.

But I guess we’ll never know

Morty, I turned my ship into a testicle!

Thanks, interesting stuff. And yeah that France name is hilarious.

It is interesting how the name for a country is a description rather than just a proper noun. Very different than English where the most descriptive you get is adding one word (Ivory Coast, Greenland) or a description of the government (the people’s republic of).

I wonder if in day to day life they had some pronoun usage to shorten it. Imagine you’re two Navajo bros talking to about Japan and China. Like surely using that long ass phrase - which is only differentiated by noting that one of them is the big country, would be unwieldy?

Yeah it’s wild. It seems to me that the window dressing a “x, y, z reboot sucks because it is woke” proponent falls back to is that making it woke harms the source material in some way.

But here, as you point out, the source material is vigilante eco terrorists.

Worse yet - the planeteers are diverse, both ethnically/nationality and some of them are the political gender (w*men).

So any argument that making it woke is harming the source material is immediately short circuited

Not on judges to care - but ye, would need cops to actually look into this and then a prosecutor to actually go after it. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.

I’m stuff
