It was meant as a joke.

Because an “ade” drink is a type of sweet, fruit-flavored beverage, typically made by diluting fruit juice with water and adding sweetness.

And it’s Medicaid but you keep spelling it Medicade, like lemonade.

Is Medicade diluted healthcare mixed with water and a sweetener?

Ham has natural sulfur in the meat and sulfites are often added to packaged deli meat as a preservative. That’d be my guess why.

It is abundantly clear that the majority US doesn’t want that

I disagree with you here. In part because humans have a natural sense of self preservation and this is counter to that.

I actually think it’s far simpler; I think the divide between the ruling class (politicians) and the working class (those that have to work to live) has grown too far. People are tired of feeling like they are not being represented or listened to and feel pushed to extreme action.

The ultra-wealthy benefit from the current system and use their means to keep the working class fighting against each other and the ruling class distracted from their actual constituents.

They can revisit it all they want.

The Respect for Marriage Act, signed into law in 2022, codifies federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriage, ensuring that marriages valid under state law are recognized federally, regardless of the couple’s sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin.

Until Congress repeals the Respect for Marriage Act it’s protected by law. Nothing SCOTUS can do about that.

I think the ruling in Dobbs was not made impartially by all Justices. However, the mistake made with abortion and Roe v. Wade was not made in regards to other issues, such as same-sex marriage. Instead of codifying abortion protections into law through Congress everyone decided to rely on the belief that Roe would never be overturned.

Same-sex marriage has been codified into law at the federal level through the Respect for Marriage Act, passed under Biden, by Congress in 2022. There’s also a number of states that individually have it protected at the state level through laws or constitutional amendments.

I understand your fear, I share it with you. Right now, though, this regime is still stuck on picking on those in the US with the fewest protections and losing badly. We’re finally seeing more cases get through the courts and the administration keeps losing. I think they moved too quickly and expanded to attack immigrants with resources who brought more attention to it than they had planned. The courts work slowly but they have, mostly, still been working.

Now, I think the greatest group at risk is the trans community. Specifically trans youth because they’re following the same plan. Go after the weakest of the specific group and then slowly expand. I’ve seen other people on Lemmy equate it to frogs in slowly heating water.

He doesn’t own the Supreme Court.

I actually saw a user post on Lemmy recently with the statistics of the current SCOTUS versus previous and the current SCOTUS is roughly in line with previous ones on their rulings.

There’s lots of doomer comments on social media about the SCOTUS but that’s because the media amplifies the controversial rulings.

I read the news as well, I guess we disagree.

I see this and this and see the opposite of the rule of law rapidly becoming meaningless.

I’d say the rule of law is the only thing stopping this administration. Once the courts are lost everything else will start to accelerate.

It’s not really optimism, just statements of fact. Same-sex marriage is as protected as it can be without an amendment.

Even if it was protected by amendment it wouldn’t be protected from your ‘doomer’ scenario because that’s a complete abandonment of governmental process and legal procedure.

Not sure where you’re talking about but in the US it’s as safe as it will ever be short of an amendment to the Constitution.

At the national level it’s protected by law in the Respect for Marriage Act, by case law precedent AND the constitution per Obergefell v. Hodges and its supported by ~70% of Americans by last polling.

Jerry and Rachel are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move.

This is true as long as they’re not actively passing traffic to the right (assuming 2 lane highway). If they are driving in traffic and actively passing cars on the right then anybody behind should not be tailgating.

The article doesn’t specify where and they don’t say T-Mobile US. They do say that it’s the T-Life app that records the screen while using it.

Your comment reminded me of the user on Reddit who would start out a comment talking about the whatever and then halfway through it became about Undertaker throwing Mankind off Hell in a Cell.

Edit: ShittyMorph is the user.

Just wait until you find out about townships.

I see the pit too, but look at that left arm. Not sure if it’s the perspective but it looks like a bulldog arm to me.

Yep, and you could shoplift food from a grocery store and donate it, or cheat on your taxes and use the extra money to buy food to donate, or donate the money directly.

Personally, I think it would be better to change the system. Perhaps a program that incentivizes a business to donate the food instead of charging it back or incentivizing the supplier/manufacturer to require anything usable they get a chargeback for from a business be donated or destroyed.

People shouldn’t have to forced to choose between doing the moral thing or the legal thing.

Plaintiffs: The lawsuit was initiated by New Mexico, with Arizona and Michigan as co-leads, and joined by 11 other states: California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

If he doesn’t have the legal powers to do this, he’ll pressure the people who do.

If they’re charged at the state level the “people who do” is Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer. You may recognize the name as the person they plotted to kidnap.

Does T-Mobile operate in Europe? I thought they were a US carrier.
