My grocery store started selling Envy apples. I find them to be my new favorites.

This sort of thing is supposed to discourage the bots that reddit is plagued with.

Do you think the news just appears on webpages for us to consume?

Particularly in the case of investigative journalism, there is a skill involved in writing the stories, and it consumes the time and effort of many people.

Charging money for your work is not "gatekeeping." It's how you keep eating.

Best we keep reminding them of it.

Do none of you people have clothes pins? Or does that count as Neutral Good?

Also, CG and CN need to be switched. There is no way the bottle hack counts as "good."

I recall our 46th president deliberately torpedoing a perfectly good deal wee had with Iran to control it's nuclear program. And at a much earlier stage, too.

I've made up my mind already that if they try to take me or my wife, they are gonna have to kill me, and I'm gonna try as hard as I can not too die alone.

Of course, that's big talk from me. I'm weak, overweight, and pasty.

I think you (and everyone else) have lost the thread, mate. He was replying directly to the question "why can't they just stay in Europe." The answer is "Europe had immigration laws."

I don't see anything wrong with this exchange.

No, it's not for after conviction. It's for when I'm being held before conviction. My lawyer gets to make the government prove that they have a reason to hold me. It's why a cop can't throw me in prison for six months for looking at him funny.

It may have some application after conviction too. I'm not a lawyer. This sort of thing is taught in high school, though, and it's important enough that it should be remembered.

It means that when I get arrested, I'm not allowed to ask why, or to demand even the thinnest shred of proof that I've done anything at all wrong.

Such a good game. I always wound up with a pile of guards in the basement, or a closet or something.

I've explained it to you twice. I'm going to use small words, this time.

"States rights," is the right of the state government to pass it's own laws.

The right to fight a law in the courts belongs to individual persons, not the state government. If the state government disliked a law, they would not go through the courts, they would just change the law.

"States rights" are for the state government, not the people of the state. Nothing the state government does to the people of that state can go against the rights of the state government, because the people do not have states rights, because they are not states.

Just so we are clear, you are not a state, are you? If you happen to be New Jersey, for example, I could understand your confusion.
