I’d counter part of that is that US law is based on common law, which is defined by prior court cases not just law - vs civil law which is only based on law.

There are issues with both of course, but, its common law that requires lawyers and knowledge of every court case and knowing what a judge in the 1800s thought a word means to win or lose a case.

I think the common law system of justice is deeply flawed and leads to this legalese where everything is vague and malleable with no certainty

So you care about what he dosent say, but dont care about what he actually says and does.

Got it.

This book should fulfill all your goals - it doesn’t leave a single word unsaid: https://shop.merriam-webster.com/products/websters-third-new-international-dictionary-unabridged?_pos=1&_fid=95a7efe7f&_ss=c

Because he’s said multiple times that that word should instead be attributed by the international court of justice

Its intentional that he doesn’t say genocide, because its a powerful legal word and he believes its not his place to apply it - however his stance and his actions are clear - abundantly clear - latching onto this one point, that he explicitly has a rationale for is silly at best, and deceptive at worst.

From what I understand, this is a tiered boycott. Yes it starts today with a one day boycott, but there are more and longer and targeted boycotts planned. The other day I saw a flier but forgot to save it or I’d share. Hoping it pops back up again.

I think that’s important because for a general strike and boycott to work, you need to train the people, and this is how you train the people. Most everyone can stop shopping for a day, next week they can stop shopping for two days, then not at amazon for a week, then not at Walmart for a week. Then not at any big store for a week, then a month, etc

It dosent end with a one day boycott, it begins with a one day boycott!

Agreed

And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

Holy shit you just flashbanged me back to childhood

Idk what they are now, but they were just cool looking spinning tops with sharp pokey bits to topple enemy beyblades, or more likely, to cause bodily harm to your friends, especially the diecast metal ones that had some heft to them

Beyblades!

I’m not really sure what you’re asking, but I will say, that most couple’s, be they gay, straight, or otherwise: do not like to talk about explicit details of their intimacy.

What happens in the bedroom are sensitive vulnerable personal moments. And its generally culturally taboo for strangers to ask and pry and expose those details.

Note that while he resigned from this current Congress, he did get reelected to the next Congress, so he’ll still be a US rep in Florida once the session starts in late January. Just kind of an extended two month vacation really.

Chaired by a Baron, the Lord Paul Deighton, who also chairs the Heathrow airport and was involved in banking and the conservative governments of UK, handling part of the covid crisis for Boris, and being involved with the Pandora papers scandal.

The rest of the board has their own stories.

The editorial board had written an unpublished endorsement for Harris, and they have been publicly endorsing presidents for the past ~50 years. This year they did not, and recently it was made public why: the billionaire owner, Jeff bezos, ordered them not to.

It is more about there being proof that the owner is having editorial control of the paper, than about any endorsement.

The owner controlling editorial decisions is to many, myself included who also cancelled my subscription, a violation of journalistic principles and not the product we are paying for.

I want to read a publication where skilled journalists can speak their mind, and that is no longer certain at the Washington Post, instead I must interpret their opinions as filtered through a billionaire’s goals and opinions. I do not want to pay for that.

Instead of a bowl of candy that kids would take one of on the night of Halloween, a US holiday, they are jokingly offering a small amount of a drug, likely cocaine, to the kids.
