So glad you pointed this out. people are numb to these sort of news now a days.

Reminds me of George Carlins words, “ It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got.”


I still don’t see how this changes anything.

I think trumps legal strategy is basically, putting the quiet part into writing. It’s as you already said, what has been the norm

If trump doesn’t like how the departments are executing his policy he has the power to steer it. It makes sense he is the ultimate authority for the executive branch.

Blame congress for ceding their oversight duties to departments. Which IMO is the root of the issue.


No concept of constitutional supremacy and an end to legal precedent is what you consider to be the norm in USA?

What's your job?


Have you used the app Pleco?

That app has been invaluable as someone learning Chinese.

that app breaks down mandarin sentences into individual characters. I believe it’s made by a Taiwanese developer too.

I tried your app with a few sentences and it works really well!


I don't think it's a Taiwanese developer. If so, he got a lot of stroke orders wrong for traditional characters as per the MOE standards.

Anytime I need to look up a character or word, I go to https://www.moedict.tw/ first. Pleco is still great for having so many add-ons (including dictionaries) and, from what I've heard, some decent graded readers.


Thank you, and thanks for checking it out!

I use Pleco almost every day :)


The counter argument I’ve seen presented is that merit based systems favor a white centric system because they have more access to resources like higher education and thus it’s easier for them to compete at a higher level and misrepresent the actual competition.

Vivek Ramiswamy debated Mark Cuban on YouTube and they spoke about this and that was my takeaway.

Couldn’t find the original so here is a snippet it’s a good debate.

Cuban also mentioned that what they lack in aptitude for the job they provide other value through there experiences.


getting my attention came at the cost of starting with a very low value opinion of the author based on how utterly classless the title was and if your goal is to inform or change minds of readers that’s not a good way to go about it.


Came to say exactly this. Headline is extremely disingenuous and meant to provoke a reaction.


I don’t believe that’s true. A pardon does not excuse a crime.


How comfortable will the normie iphone user to load custom apps from .ipa files though.


it used to be reported that Venice is sinking into the water but now the climate nut jobs have flipped it to it’s actually because it’s rising. I guess it’s all relative


It's difficult to not be sarcastic but let me try my best: Venice sinking is what happens when water is rising.


Eh, Venice is also sinking regardless of sea level rise. That’s what happens when you build a city on top of what is practically a swamp. No surprise that big heavy buildings put on top of loose, waterlogged soil are gonna slowly sink into that soil.


My thoughts exactly.
