within 2 minutes yt figured it out and lowered my bitrate.

like i said, my partner's account is fine, she's watching yt no problem.

it's not my internet, im playing space engineers with 85 ping right now.

my last idea was just stay off yt, which i did for like 6 hours today and it's the same thing.

Could be your internet rather than youtube itself.

nah my partner's was fine

i switched yt accounts and got the bitrate back. how annoying.

i got fed up and decided to listen to another song and yt is also reducing the quality so that it's unlistenable. did i pull too much data from yt? I use it like 16 hours a day for background music...

this is fucking bullshit, youtube. literally fuck you google.

edit: im mad cause i dont have any mp3s, my computer doesn't have a cd drive, i _really_ like music... wtf am i supposed to do? spotify? fuck that

Realistically what happens is states see rulings like this and say "the law was struck down because of reasons 1, 2, and 3. So therefore if we write a law based on 0.99, 1.99, and 2.99 then everything should be ok"

Then just rinse and repeat until the SCOTUS intervenes and determines the hard limits or rules that the laws have to work around instead.

yea. somehow the voting thing applied to a bunch of states though, it's unclear why that case seemed to effect other states immediately and this is different, but it's basically what you said: FL claims their law is tooooootttaaaalllly different but it's exactly the same.

ill pick for u. ill even read the options. im the app.

theoretically states are supposed to read these rulings, actually listen to the logic/argument/evidence, and then go "okay so I guess I _didnt_ understand anything about trans medical care, let's change our state law so that we are focused in science, reality, and results."

good luck w/ dat

Will this be appealed by the state, though?

100%. they can seek injunctions in some cases, but they have nothing to appeal with. they dont have evidence that trans care is destructive even though they might say it on TV.

there is also the law, and then what states are going to do regardless. states like FL will have to be put in line by the Supreme Court, ultimately.

Dat_Cracka_Jax posted...

So this ruling only applies to this law, or does this set precedent that can be used in striking down other similar laws?

it's a federal judge, so it is the defacto precedent unless the Supreme Court rules on it.

there are federal appeals courts also, idk everything about the system. presumably the state can take it to the federal appellate court -OR- the Supreme Court can just take it up.

what's great about this ruling is the language is so fucking clear: "you can't just say you are helping the children. what does science say about helping the children? we're doing that."

this is extreme, and it keeps happening. like it keeps dropping after a few minutes, and then other times will play fine. it's like it doesn't believe im really listening but goddamn it

like, dropping me into 720p territory when i dont notice i can understand. this is literally like 120p quality tho, even when im literally refreshing and clicking 1080p

it sounded fine yesterday, and says it's giving me 1080p but it sounds like 180p.

it's an hour-long techno mix and i checked and double-checked i was on the correct page.

has this ever happened to anyone else? any fix ideas?

watch out im immature and ill so judgmental u that it's moot

ikr!

"okay the State wants to *reads the paper* protect the children. got it." *trial begins*

ArKansas: not like that!

it's just gonna be the rocky statue from the movie.

also it's fine for ADELE to have a statue of Sly.

how is this hard to understand?

mercurydude posted...

Why would I want a statue of myself? I could see that any time I look in the mirror... I'd want a statue of Mercury or Bowie or the Joker or something.

this guy gets it

i get that it's the rocky statue probably, but you really gonna have a statue of yourself by your POOL? especially as a millionaire can literally commission some nice abstract sculpture or w/e.

it's like having an oil painting of yourself in your living room.

shit's tacky.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/20/politics/arkansas-transgender-treatments-medical-ban-blocked/index.html

A federal judge on Tuesday struck down Arkansas ban on gender-affirming treatment for transgender youth, dealing the strongest blow yet to a state prohibition on such care.

In an 80-page ruling, Judge James M. Moody Jr. said that the states Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act violated the US Constitution and that the 2021 law cannot be enforced by state officials.

Rather than protecting children or safeguarding medical ethics, the evidence showed that the prohibited medical care improves the mental health and well-being of patients and that, by prohibiting it, the State undermined the interests it claims to be advancing, the judge wrote.
Further, the various claims underlying the States arguments that the Act protects children and safeguards medical ethics do not explain why only gender-affirming medical care and all gender-affirming medical care is singled out for prohibition, he continued. The testimony of well-credentialed experts, doctors who provide gender-affirming medical care in Arkansas, and families that rely on that care directly refutes any claim by the State that the Act advances an interest in protecting children.

Moody had temporarily blocked the law from going into effect in July 2021, and an eight-day trial took place last year in the case.
The lawsuit had been brought two years ago by four transgender adolescents in Arkansas and their families, as well as two doctors who provide gender-affirming care to trans youth in the state.

When Arkansas enacted the law in 2021, it became the first state in the nation to prohibit gender-affirming care for trans youth. The states then-Republican governor had initially vetoed the measure, but state lawmakers later overrode his veto.

fantastic news.

Oh, it was much less of a hassle to fly before 9/11? I personally can not remember. Do you?

watch old movies (home alone 1 & 2 are classic examples), there was no security, it was just like a bus station.

also, you got a free checked-bag.

before that, you'd get food and stuff too.

also the planes were bigger: 747s, double-deckers, etc. Everything is an Airbus these days.

Going on a long distance flight as a teenager felt like an adventure, made me felt like an adult somehow.

Now it's just shitty commute, unable to sleep. And to this day I'm not sure if you're supposed to brush your teeth in the toilet of a plane cause its just unhygienic for both you and the other passengers but I still do it so my breath doesn't stink up everyone

how tf is brushing your teeth unhygienic. i think you're fine. people shit in there, your toothpaste will not effect the other passengers.

you're already breathing that air in, you really wanna think about microbiology in a public restroom?

that airpplane toilet is 1000x cleaner than your toilet is right now.

well the simpsons got a physical re-release, so you're likely to find it in putt-putt arcades and the like. It's only $500 for the unit, LCD screen. i played it in May when I was in Houston.

also you're wrong about SoR4, it's not that hard you'll improve!

you're also wrong about Shredder's Revenge. that game is awesome and it's by the same team as SoR4.

there's lots of River City stuff coming out these days, I don't really know about that though cause the pricetags always seem high.

idk what u doing with that jacket. lose the jacket, rest looks cool.

always remember coco chanel's advice: 1) get dressed 2) take off 1 piece of your outfit (clothes/accessory). less is more.

yeah i heard the pay is great , like almost as much as a doctor, sadly so is the time to train for it

prison as punishment doesn't work.

is elizabeth holmes going to hurt anyone? literally not, so, no, I don't want my tax dollars paying for her to be in jail.

make her attend classes on how not to be a psychopath.

I only think prisons should be for violent individuals.

Wesley Snipes had every opportunity to pay-up and went into conspiracy-theory territory about how the Constitution actually prohibits income tax.

not the same thing.

fact is: literally NO ONE should be in prison for a financial crime. fuck prisons, put these motherfuckers on house arrrest

yes, i fucking love it. flying is awesome, layovers are fun! hanging out in ATL, getting some Five Guys fries, riding escalators, taking the tram for fun! it's awesome.

i like seeing the clouds, being high up, and fucking LITERALLY flying.

free coke? yes please! some almonds? fuck yes as well.

fallujah was 19 years ago. i think it's okay to set things during it.

motherfucking Benadryl has psychological side effects and i can buy that

calm down.

I've hashed this out before on CE:

there is 100% no way the US military doesn't have a working missile defense system.

essentially we've spent too much money on the military, it's been a goal since the 80s, and it's possible with modern AI-tech. logically it's like the 1st technology anyone would ever want.

if I had to guess what this "system" looked like I wouldn't know where to begin. Likely it's a drone network that literally just fly around the stratosphere looking for missiles and if they see one they shoot it down

Try quitting smoking with chantix. I got it free with insurance and I was able to quit smoking in seventeen days. And the best part is you can keep smoking as you take it. Its just a pill in the morning and a pill later in the day and you just.. quit smoking.

I was about a 15 cigarette a day person in a high stress job and it still worked incredibly well for me.

I know I sound like an infomercial, but this is all true and it all worked for me.

With a mod you buy a bottle of juice and it can last you a few weeks. If you want to stick with disposable then getting them from an actual vape shop is gonna be better than a juul. I have both. The disposable is mostly to have in my pocket that I can puff when I can't get to my mod.

CRON posted...

There's only one Juul model available in the US and only two flavors to choose from (Menthol and Tobacco). Quality control's gone to shit for a long time so there's a good chance at least one pod in a pack will be leaky and bubbly.

If you want something a little better but a little more difficult to find in places like convenience stores, the Vuse Alto is a decent alternative. Same principle, just as easy to use, and the pods last a little longer.

quality answers!

ive quit smoking before, so i know i can. but i dont know that I want to quit forever. i like the idea of having a vape sitting around that I can smoke a few times a week.

chantix sounds amazing. not gonna go to a doctor tho. i have insurance, i suspect it will cover it. idk, doctors' offices fucking suck im not going unless i have to.

edit: the fact that u need a script for chantix is fucking bullshit. it should be over-the-counter ffs.

Get a mod or disposable from an actual vape shop.
