This is a fantastic post. Thank you. I do know that the Feds often use the Commerce Clause to put the lie to my original statement, but with the abandonment of Roe, I've repeatedly heard "it's in the hands of the States" so maybe my hope is that someone somewhere my see a need to remain intellectually consistent.
Pipe dream, but a nice thought.
Not progressive, and I roll my eyes at many things California does. That said I 100% applaud this. I wish more states used their power as individual states to reign in the Federal government.
Remember The Constitution says any rights not specifically granted to the Feds are the States.
Good for California.
Not an A's fan but a baseball fan. Today I am wearing my Oakland A's cap, cause fuck Fisher.
You can try The Free Press their coverage starts at 7pm Eastern tomorrow.
This sounds like exactly my response to a ”Christian” movie. They are so ridiculously bad because to earn the label "Christian" they have to be preachy.
We had just moved from Portland to Denver, and were trying new restaurants. One Sunday we ordered delivery from a local Chinese place that had good reviews. Food came, we ate and all was good for a couple of hours.
Then my wife said "I think I'm gonna puke* and dashed for the bathroom. Being the good husband, I followed her to hold her hair while she worshipped the porcelain god.
She had barely got done emptying the content of her stomach, when I literally had to shove her out of the way to emoty mine.
We were both miserable for about 36 hours.

I just finished listening to all 14 Honor Harrington novels.
Reminiscent of the garage finds in the Forza Horizon games.
A while back a woman died after eating at a Disney restaurant and being assured that the food she was ordering was allergen free. Disney responded very poorly to the husband's suit, but I wonder if the Disney employee believed things were allergen free because of one of these hacked menus.
I think this is the right answer. Dude literally tapped out. That shows a huge lack of leadership.
The number of times I have been down voted for telling young ADHD sufferers to lean into the advantages of ADHD instead of bemoaning the disadvantages, are numerous.
I have to regiment myself every day, if it's a boring same-old day with nothing urgent. I purposely put things off to increase urgency so I can accomplish mundane tasks. BUT when the shit hits the fan, I thrive. I can take multiple simultaneous inputs from vendors and engineers and pissed-off business people, and correctly direct and respond to those inputs when others are falling apart due to stress.
Lean into your strengths! If you have ADHD. You have a super power. Use it!
Holy smokes I'm sorry. I didn't know if my story can encourage you or not, but maybe it will.
I got married in 1987. Not quite 20 years in in 2006, we split up. I was unhappy, and became an asshole and walked out in her and my three sons. I realized almost immediately that I couldn't look myself in the mirror. And twenty months later we decided to give it a shot. It lasted almost two years before the wheels finally came off for good.
So here I am, not quite 50 and very single. I met another girl, we became a couple and have now been together 13 years.
It can happen. You can find happiness again
