LGBTQ+ discrimination is inherently sex discrimination, because it is about cultural expectations for sex and gender behaviours. It’s not surprising that a strict textualist would come down on the right side of this decision, because it’s obvious and plain as day. If anything, this only further exposes the three…

The senior justice on each side decides who writes the opinions. Since Roberts was on the majority side, his decision to have Gorsuch write the opinion may have been political. I’ve seen speculation on Twitter that Roberts only joined the majority to ensure that Ginsburg wouldn’t get to author it. For whatever that’s…

Well, I didn’t know that bit of info (I’m not a military person or an American), so thanks.

Fair enough, but my point wasn’t about how the boots get to the ground, just that he’s talking about infantry, not bombing raids.

Airborne Division is Army paratroopers, not the Air Force (see Band of Brothers). So no, not bombing the cities.

Two of my closest friends adopted a child who is developmentally disabled (far beyond what they were led to believe pre-adoption), and one of them recently confessed to my partner that they would absolutely have not gone through with the adoption had they known then what they know now.

The problem is not that judges aren’t democratically chosen; no other nation that I’m aware of elects judges. Instead, they educate, vet, and promote judges from within a system that provides oversight and accountability. Electing judges (and sheriffs, for that matter) makes them accountable to public whims instead of…

This is the world that conservatives and libertarians want. They want the authority to police themselves and whatever spaces they inhabit, according to whatever (invariably racist) rules they devise. It’s literally their ideal system.

This is what they want. They want white guys to be allowed to threaten black guys without repercussions. An unarmed black man scared for his life defending himself is a threat to two armed white men who accosted him, and that sounds about right to them.

Also, am I the only person who remembers people at the time very explicitly saying that if LeBron pulled it off it would put him either alongside or above Jordan all-time? I never agreed with that take (I mean, come on, Jordan is untouchable), but that narrative was out there. Of course that would be the time that…

And that’s how you know your opinion is valid, because you’ve made it completely impossible to ever reexamine!

Also, think back to people your age you only knew when you were young, and then think of people you know who are that age now. To Lorraine and George, Calvin was a peer, and in their minds when they think back on him they almost certainly subconsciously age him a bit to still be their peer. Marty, on the other hand,…

These fucks should get the civil war they so desperately want.

Nah. What needs to happen is for every news program and paper to announce “TRUMP SAYS YOU SHOULD DRINK BLEACH AND INJECT LYSOL DIRECTLY INTO YOUR VEINS”, and just let things sort themselves out.

Didn’t that Jason Priestly one actually turn up on there?

And a spoiled bunch.

Everyone has nipples (except people who’ve lost or had them removed for one of any variety of reasons). The idea that seeing the hint of an outline of a nipple through clothing should be scandalous is just mind-boggling.

Your whole response is full of magical thinking.

And as I said, many other measures needed to control the outbreak have not been taken due to failed leadership. It would be worse if people had not been isolating, and will be worse if people stop. I don’t know how else to say it.

Deaths will be constantly rising throughout this, because the number of people who have died of the virus is purely additive. The rate at which it rises is important, and if no measures were taken (ie, everyone just go about your business) the rate would increase much higher. And of course, remember that it takes…
