No need to create a word for something that falls within the definition of another word or turn of phrase. Reddit has certainly followed Facebook down the inevitable march of the Enshitification of the Internet.

30·5 days agoLeeloo style.
All you had to do was tell me he sells his own supplements…
1·18 days agoHow is this an emergency? The dealing with emergencies here (personal interpretation) would be for national security emergencies or natural disasters to allocate resources. An individual citizen’s lack of access to a medical procedure, while tragic, fails to rise to that level.
The key bit you quoted has to do with deciding how and to what degree legislation will be enforced. Also remember that this is at the federal level, not the state level. So he can issue an executive order to keep the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies from enforcing any anti-IVF laws, similar to how they’ve directed the DEA to not pursue marijuana charges in states where recreational use has been legalized. hHe cannot simply write a law into existence, which is what would be needed for what you’re asking.
Unfortunately, this is something only Congress can fix, and I’m not holding my breath.
But like I said… he can’t. There’s no “doomed to fail” about it… it’s outside his executive powers. He can’t dictate law.
Whether or not he could is largely irrelevant. Executive orders can be completely undone by the next administration. Plus I’d wager this is out of scope for an executive order. Executive orders generally have to do with operations issues with the federal government.
He can issue an executive order to limit the number of immigrants can cross the US-Mexico border per day because that’s an operational issue for an agency within the executive branch. He can’t say, “Everyone can have access to IVF”. Essentially, he’d be saying that individual states can’t make illegal, IVF procedures. That’s a legislative policy issue, and would be up to congress to pass a law that would force the states to fall in line.
That’s my understanding at least. I’m sure I’ve mucked something up in that explanation, but would wager that the overall gist of it is correct.
5·26 days agoI’d be totally down. I had gotten used to the Duke controller in its massiveness, so I hated the S controller when it came out.
I generally dislike change.
Wow… so my entire life. Appreciate the info.
When the fuck did that happen? That’s part of the point of a filibuster… does dude man (or dudette woman) have the fucking stones to see it through? Do they have the conviction of purpose in opposition to the motion to do what it takes to prevent it?
I wanted to say yeah… but I couldn’t be sure. Looking on her wiki page:
In 2004 Daniels won the Best New Starlet Award from Adult Video News…
Daniels was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame on January 18, 2014,[16] and was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame on April 16, 2014.
Don’t think she’d have those awards if she wasn’t pretty popular among her peers, and all of that was before the big scandal we’re seeing unfold now.
Hey… D stands for Diploma.
B stands for “Better than I thought I’d do.”
I live in the American South, and I’m happy to wear shorts outside at 10C (50 F), so long as it’s not windy…
Now, a jacket at 30C (86F)… that’s a bit warm for me…
F = C*(9/5)+32
If you don’t want the ratio, 9/5=1.8
To estimate the temperature conversion, multiply by 2 and add 32… then estimate a touch less… I eyeballed 10C to be 50ish before breaking out the calculator and finding it was 50 on the nose
4·2 months agoWell, it was from around the time the song released… it unfortunately seems true. It’d be interesting if there was a way to analyze the data to see how many of the downloads were unique…
I’d be down…
91·2 months agoI reflexively read that in Dwight’s voice.
Walmart is hilariously cheaper.
Can I ask what the problem is? I was of the understanding that the problem with TikTok was that they basically lied under oath to congress and were actively sending personal user data to China. Not sure anything but an outright ban will achieve any sort of remedy.
I think you attribute more intent to his actions than he deserves. He “loves” coal, oil, and gas because that’s what his base wants to hear. Defunding the EPA has nothing to do with his pro or anti-climate goals. It has everything to do with the fact that the EPA is a regulatory body that increases costs for industry. Fewer road blocks, better cash flow.
It’s not that he loves or hates any of these things… it’s all in your last sentence. The rest is just a means to an end. He just doesn’t care beyond the fact that it might keep him from him getting what he wants
Touché good man.
