To add to this, during their various debates and declarations, state legislatures of Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia all explicitly gave slavery as the primary reason for their attempt to destroy the United States government. So literally more than half.

He’s playing Cwazy Cupcakes with God now.

Still easier to understand than the Silmarillion.

Well China i guess you better not shoot at or get close to them then 🤷‍♂️

Skynet?

Very uncommon in the US at least.

“Ah, yes, “Reapers” we have dismissed this claim.”

I mean Armenia has basically survived since ancient history but swallowing a lot of bitter pills, and allying with countries that previously did terrible shit to them.

My understanding is that that applies to other state courts making rulings, but i cant see how that apples to apples to Secretaries of State deciding that he is an invalid candidate. Which is why it would possibly force the Trump campaign to sue and push to force the SC to rule on the issue one way or the other. Because if they dont then Trump could remain off the ballot in that state.

Devastated it isnt called Toe-tal.

If somebody wanted to press the issue a SoS in a state would just flat out say he isnt and force the Trump campaign to sue. Force the SC to take it up due to multiple, conflicting rulings/interpretations of the law. That might be the only way to ensure they do it in a timely manner.

That said, i dont have much faith that the SC in its current composition wouldnt just side with Trump immediately.

Correct. Setting aside other comments made which lead myself and others to argue that this is a bad faith/cowardly ruling, they posit it only covers military officers and legislative representatives to prevent them from being able to serve. Not the executive branch.

They then go on to specify that the Commander in Chief capacity in which Trump served is in he is in charge of the military, but is a representative of the public with the military subordinated to civilian authority. Not as a military officer within the structure of the armed forces.

Therefore, per this very, very pedantic (though arguably technically correct) reading of the law, they are arguing it should not be used to bar him from being on the ballot.

It’s like saying “i dont want any berries in my food” and being served strawberries. Scientifically/technically speaking they do not meet the definition. But in common parlance, understanding, and intention they are understood to be and lumped in with them.

In other news: water is wet, and this floor appears to be made of floor.

Cries in KOTOR

BG3 swept pretty heavily at the Golden Joystick Awards, and is likely going to win a lot at TGA as well (deservedly so IMO). Other games it has stiff competition from include Spiderman 2, Alan Wake 2, and even fellow Nintendo game Super Mario Wonder.

In keeping with tradition though we can only do this if we add the new month after August and name it Tiber.

"Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things, KOTOR Remake… and yet you are nothing.“

Also paired with that for NMS is the fact the studio is like 35 people.

Besides, America has their own vast, vast history of systematic and institutionalized racism and segregation to learn about before we go worrying about other countries history of systematic and institutionalized racism and segregation (I say this as an American and former history major).

Some notable examples of topics simply not taught or HEAVILY glossed over at best in many US history classes:

• King Phillip’s War (arguably is an English example since it predates the founding of the USA, but it happened on what would become the USA, and perpetuated by people related to those that would become Americans)

• Tulsa Race Riots

• The Wilmington Coup/Massacre

• The American conquests of the Philippines and Hawaii

• The many interventions in Mexico

• Pretty much everything the CIA has ever done in South America, Asia, and Africa

• That time in WWII we unconstitutionally stripped the rights from law abiding American citizens just because of their Japanese ancestry and put them in concentration camps

Unfortunately, this is barely even scratching the surface.

Also apparently D&D is of the devil, so we got that too.
