Just a cat on the internet.

  • Has he not been doing a decent job as fed chair head though?

    I would say yes, even without considering how he has handled Trump. He's had to deal with the pandemic, in addition to pressure from the current markets, and then there's Trump. DOGE cleared out so many government agencies, has them working with skeleton crews which means there's less data for the fed to base their decisions on. Trump himself has been applying constant aggressive pressure even before this investigation.

    And frankly even if he isn’t, Trump going after him in the position he’s in is extremely serious. I agree that he shouldn’t be lionized and it should be more about the position.

    And yeah, that's really what it comes down to. Regardless of how you feel about Powell the federal reserve needs to be independent. The economy is fucked even harder than it is now the moment Trump takes control of it. Inflation will go out of control, savings will go up in smoke near instantly.

  • I sleep well as long as my wife is there. She can roll us from one side of the bed to the other or off it even and I'll continue sleeping like a rock. The moment she's sick or has trouble sleeping is when I also have trouble sleeping, which is fine with me.

    I do sometimes miss being younger and sleeping any where, any time though.

  • women don’t wash their hands as often

    I could believe this. Not saying the men's are much better as I'd say they're definitely just as bad, but my wife used to tell me horror stories about the women's restrooms before she swore off ever using one again outside of emergencies.

  • You can't trust anyone. Be extra careful about what you tell people as in this wretched police state you can never be sure if you could suddenly be arrested anything that you say.

  • Listen, I don't disagree with you regarding the class divide, but this is my own experience with plenty members of the older generation, including my own parents.

    I'm not saying they all do, nor do I really think it's a starting point for dealing with the issue either, but that's what this meme is about. Again, it's just my own experience and I'm sorry that it seems to upset you.

  • Most of the boomers I knew growing up acknowledged climate change.

    They also acknowledged that they didn't care because they wouldn't be around long enough to feel the severe effects of it.

  • It's not even good for searches. It used to be solid for finding a starting point with research, but that has somehow gotten even worse. The summaries it provides are awful, it's so incredibly inaccurate. Unfortunately the two biggest legal search engines lexisnexis and westlaw are shoving it down your throat whether you want it or not.

  • This is why I just let my wife drive. She'll run the light at the last second if she can while I never will, and it's less frustrating for both of us to just let her handle it.

  • We need to have a vacant homes penalty desperately

    Technically that's what adverse possession or squatters rights actually is.

    The general criteria(without state specifics) for legal squatting is incredibly difficult to fulfill though. It's not reasonable to achieve in the majority of situations.

  • Void cats are the best.

  • Don't have much to say besides treat yourself as much as you like and be kind to yourself, you do most definitely deserve it.

  • Is this case being prosecuted by the actual AG?

    There's two cases, and one technically is. One of his cases is at the state level, and the other is at the federal. The AG isn't directly involved, but they do oversee the one at the federal level.

    In theory as someone else said federal cases belong to "everyone" or the country, the United States. Of course, that doesn't mean that there aren't biases or politics being involved.

    Anyways, the AG and DOJs involvement doesn't amount to as much as people let on. The case was filed under the last administrations DOJ and there's not much a change in leadership there can change regarding the case. They can change assigned personnel or change the overall approach, such as sentencing or the death penalty, but that's about it. Bondi did make the push for the death penalty, publicly even, and they're taking advantage of that, but it's not entirely unlikely that it wouldn't have been requested regardless of who was at the helm.

  • Wash trading at its finest.

  • I fail to see how this isn't a good thing?

    Yes the AI usage was known about previously, yes, the game probably doesn't really count as being an indie game, yes game awards are all genuinely terrible, but you have to take what you can get. A small victory is a still a victory.

  • Redundancy is one of their policies, and this is a big reason why.

    Besides that though, even between women there's a wide variety of menstrual products. What size? Maybe she uses pads or cups instead? How frequently each individual needs them varies too. Even if you're a guy who is familiar with purchasing these for your girlfriend/wife/daughter you would still want to ask if you were in this sort of situation.
