Idaho seems to be going full fascist

That law basically said teachers and staff at public schools can't be forced to used a preferred pronoun. Which isn't what the tweet says but I'm not surprised some chud couldn't be bothered to care about getting it right. It is still a garbage law made to protect bigots, like most of the ones they pass here.

lol we are forced to see pride month and people have enough of it!

Over on the other side of the Treasure Valley they set up a private pride event and the City of Nampa, ID made a big stink about it

https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/idaho-press/canyon-county-pride-nampas-response-controversy/277-ad1fcf73-9673-4c4a-bcca-0f0c2a4b64ff

According to the release, Lakeview Park had been reserved by the Pride festival for June 9 from 1-4 p.m. The news release added that, The use of the park by this group is not an endorsement of their message or views by the City of Nampa.

The release cited constitutional freedoms as the reason that Nampa must recognize the protected first amendment rights of those scheduling and involved in this event.

Nampa Mayor Debbie Kling said that the city received complaints alleging that the Nampa City Council and mayors office were the ones that approved the event. Instead, Kling clarified that park rentals fall under the Nampa Parks and Recreation Department.

While this event does not reflect the personal beliefs and convictions of myself, the Nampa City Council, and many living in Nampa who have already reached out to us requesting it be canceled, the advice of our legal counsel was that the City of Nampa must recognize the protected first amendment rights of those scheduling and involved in this event, Kling was quoted as saying in the release.

Idaho's current politics are some of the worst I've ever seen in the US since I was born.

If you don't mind and you have that local newsclip please share it that sounds hilarious

It's both hilarious and also really fucking sad to watch

I live here and they interviewed the bar owner and some patrons on the local news.

You can visibly see their faces contort as they try to come up with an explanation for their support of this without saying the quiet part out loud. They wanted to so badly to go off the deep end into a rant about "the gays". At the end of the news show they always throw up tweets that people post during the airtime and that episode got so many tweets shitting over the newscaster for having the absolute nerve to go out and ask questions at the bar.

Also it's located in Eagle, ID which basically confirms every person that is going there (including the owner) fled from CA within the last 5 years.

edit: just read the article which confirmed the owner is from CA not that I needed anyone to tell me that

Vanna has confirmed she is staying on despite Pat's retirement.

Kinda of surprised they didn't switch her to hosting. IIRC she's filled in for the role before and did a good job.

I definitely see myself in high school on Christmas break eating lunch with this in the background because my dad left it on while he went to snowblow the driveway.

Junior year of high school. Probably in class since it's a Tuesday but also a decent probability I skipped class since it was the end of the year.

wtf

Do I get to pick which days off I get or is it always 4 straight days off?

Never have and wouldn't regret never doing it in my life, but I'd do it if the opportunity arose.

Cruises are awesome, especially river cruises in Europe. Treated like a VIP and get to see a lot.

I met my wife right after she got back from a Russian river cruise in 2018 and she still raves about the experience to this day.

Thats not how it works. People arent going to switch to Trump over Palestine, theyre going to get disillusioned with politics and stay home.

Republicans being worse is meaningless. Everyone left leaning expects them to be shit.

Democrats are expected to meet some bare minimum criteria. Everyone expected Biden to support Israel, but not to the point of funding and enabling their genocide. That is going to disillusion some people and make them stay home. Period.

We're at a point where if he were to stop providing support to Israel he'd start losing pro-Israel voters. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't and his internal polling probably has been telling him it's less harmful to his chances if he keeps the pro-Israel votes. I'd guess his more recent actions of withholding a shipment to Israel tells us his numbers are slipping more than anticipated and he needed to do something to make it look like he is taking action. He's walking a tightrope.

If the Dems successfully hammer on abortion running up to it I dont think Trump stands a chance. That seems to be the one issue getting people to vote in numbers that are defying conventional thinking.

There's a 4 way I usually have to go through near the house. Always with the "good Samaritan" old man in a truck trying to wave you on even though they've been sitting there since before I got to the sign.

Just follow the rules of the road please sir.

No doubt.

The SC should also be expanded to 12/13 judges, not because it would help Dems (obviously it would), but because each judge is supposed to preside over a circuit and currently a few of them have 2.

The 13th is a federal circuit, so I'd be fine with accepting 12 for the conventional reason they exist.

Unfortunately, no Dem will expand it because of timidity/"seeming political" and Republicans will probably expand it next time they get in just to show they don't give a fuck about anything except securing their power.

Would they need a 2/3 majority vote to do this? I could see why it's never getting done in that case.

To this day I don't understand this.

Dude was just out there having fun with it

I remember this dude from when I moved to Riverside County in 2020. He filmed a whole speech railing against the radical left for trying to shut down the county during covid. He's a massive chud.

Despite Riverside County going to Biden in 2020, MAGA has a strong presence there.

Booked an air bnb for 7 nights this August. Going there during June Gloom is a rookie mistake though. I hope it's sunny there

Our honeymoon in Hawaii in 2022

My dad worked in a union. Their company caught a dude red-handed leaving to go for a motorcycle ride on company time and they immediately fired him. The matter went to arbitration for an entire year, ending with the employee getting re-hired and the company having to pay his salary back for the year he was unemployed. Because it was his first time getting in trouble they weren't allowed to fire him at the time according to the union rules.

A glimpse into the future when Buffett croaks

I really hate turbulence but itll never beat getting delayed over and over. We got caught up in that Southwest debacle a few Christmases ago. We got delayed like 4 times and then finally cancelled at like midnight. We had my wifes grandfather with us who needs a wheelchair which just added to the shit show. The next available flight wasnt for 5 days later.

2020. I hated Clinton more than Biden in 2016 but I didnt hate Trump as much.

I think I voted for Howie Hawkins. I lived in NY so my potus vote didnt matter.

I just got a ticket to see fellowship of the ring by myself. My wife will be out of town that day.

Just had people over so we cleaned it extensively even though the guests had no interest in going upstairs. But at least its clean.

Both Dune movies and Interstellar

Actually I was talking to a guy outside the theater before Interstellar and he was dumbfounded that I was by myself

Yes this is how cults work. Everything and anything that stands against the cult leader is flawed or rigged because there is no reality where the cult leader is in the wrong.

This kind of thinking is why flat earthers still exist. The human brain gets locked into this paranoia mode where instead of accepting it was wrong instead everything becomes a conspiracy.

lol @ Barron, mommy won't let him get within 10 miles of politics

Jr. or Eric might try to take up the cause but with 1/100th of whatever intangible thing that made people get behind DJT combined with the entirety of a newly-freed GOP gunning to quash any thoughts of a succession, they'll quickly fail

Dude is 68. He can retire if he wants to. No reason actors have to act until they die.

He had 2 great roles. Breaking Bad and Malcolm in the Middle.

Him and Aaron Paul have been traveling around hocking tequila for a few years now.

Always laughed at how they banned plastic bags but allowed an even worse plastic bag to be sold.

I understand they are "recyclable" which is a dubious claim for any plastic material, but I'd wager the vast majority aren't recycled at all.

That one person IS at their job which is selling Trump hats. Never misses an opportunity to grift.

It won't impact him. The people who will vote for him would vote for him no matter what. HE could punch their children and they would still vote for him.

Some person on reddit said they'd vote for him even if a video came out of him banging his daughter.

There's nothing that will sway those people.

I think that's the one where it has a judge who loves him, and keeps delaying the trial so it won't happen before the election

Yes that's the one with Loose Cannon running the show. You know the judge Trump appointed to that seat in the first place.

littlebro07 posted...

lmfao what

"Yeah he was probably guilty anyway but the trial wasn't fair so it's bullshit"

lol judge was biased even though he never threw Trump in a cell for contempt even though he could have 200 times over

All counts guilty lmao

"Eating at home" is a pretty wide range. It would be impossible to compete with instant ramen at home.

I think as we get closer to the election and the rubber actually starts to hit the road that the Israel stuff will take a backseat to people coming to grips with the increasingly real possibility that Trump won't go to jail and will absolutely be a threat to win again. People will suddenly care a lot less with atrocities in a faraway land when suddenly there's one staring them right in the face at home.

I've bought 2 cars from different companies/dealers in the last year and the common denominator between the two was that the financing office is where you get shafted the hardest. You'll have a car at a price you're fine with and then you go in thinking you'll sign the papers and they hand you a laptop that asks you about your driving habits and then they hard sell you on upgrades or packages using your own answers against you ("you said you drive on gravel sometimes so you definitely need our protective coating, wouldn't want your paint dinged would you?")

If you can get past that part it's not bad at all imo at least compared to like 10+ years ago.

Question about splits

Assuming Nvidia keeps its upward trend, is it better to buy before or after the split? Im new at stocks and dont know much beyond price go up = gud

If you're assuming the upward trend continues then buying as soon as possible would be the ideal strategy. I don't think there's much advantage between buying pre and post split by itself, however.

Golf. There's only so many available courses and tee times so too many people playing literally prevents existing players from being able to play. Also there's been a surge of frat bro culture finding its way into the game. I don't think golf needs to be super strict and stingy per se but when you've got guys that come in and get wasted blasting music and starting drunken fights it's not good for the game. It's been getting worse since covid when golf was one of the few activities you were allowed to do during lockdown. A ton of new people starting playing which is good but now most courses are super crowded as a result.

The new ones are some of the most visually pleasing movies I've ever seen. The story is kinda like Game of Thrones in space. Family houses struggling for power, conspiracies to wipe out the other houses, a prophesized hero figure emerging, religion heavily involved with politics, etc...

Spotify leaning classic today

Cities force home builders to create HOAs for new neighborhoods now because they don't want to/can't afford to foot the bill for long term infrastructure maintenance (roads, etc...) in these neighborhoods that are way outside of the city so they are pushing that responsibility to the neighborhoods through HOAs.

So going forward any new homes will more likely than not be in an HOA.

Our 10 year which was basically a get together of people that were still in town who already got together every weekend anyway. So basically just a more organized version of the weekly bar run with maybe like 5 other people that werent in that social circle. I doubt there will be a 20 year as our class president barely cared enough to do the 10 year.
