Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this effectively toothless? Like executive orders only effect things directly under federal and more specifically executive purview meaning even a city government could pass a regulation on AI in their area and it’d have more legal weight than an executive order. Or are they abusing unrelated powers to declare that no one can regulate AI?
Like I’m pretty sure the supremacy clause doesn’t apply to executive orders.
If memory serves they’ve had at least one government backed effort to relatinize certain words in their dialect. I do respect any country that does that on an intentional and purposeful level, it’s why I don’t respect the French and why I have gripes with the Icelandic.
Plenty of archaic uses are still common depending on dialect. One of the more annoying aspects of Cambridge and OED is the assignment of archaic to older or lesser used forms that may still be common in parlance bet fell out of favor in most other ways.
Also I refuse to listen to what the English have to say on the English because they keep intentionally fucking with their dialect.
At least TV ads could be entertaining back in the day, but modern internet ads are both boring and obnoxious. One minute you’re watching Invader Zim the next you’re watching Billy advertise a burger press, nostalgia.
I feel like the whiskey rebellion is a bit of an unfair one to include. Mostly because rebelling over taxes was rather common historically, and now that I’m considering its a tad weird we haven’t had more tax rebellions here in the US.
I always liked the idea the it was actually just blood/death magic and everyone was just too ideologically blinded to see that sacrificial magic was used for good. It makes sense that Voldemort would be blindsided that one of Dumbledores followers used a bit of dark magic, imagine fighting someone who refused to use chemical weapons only for them to decide to use a nuclear landmine on you in particular.
Also if the company refuses and hires scabs you can always put the money towards hiring union enforcers. Mind you we aren’t quite there again but I don’t we’re too far off either, showing up to a scabs home at 2AM to have a nice talk or ambushing the boss on his way home. The glory days may be long gone but I hope to see new glory forged.
Well aware but kitbashed great value brand versions of historical uniforms is just kinda a weird side effect of me collecting military surplus and military antiques.
Fun fact I have a swedish tankers trench coat from 1940 and a Swiss helmet from 1942 when I wear them together it basically looks like legally distinct werhmacht. I can pull the samething with an American armor school long coat and a Yugoslav helmet for the Soviet equivalent.
It’s technically not Nazi apparel. It annoys my friends though.
My great great aunt made me read the Bible so I’d be a good little Christian. Read it got the privileges for it, sucked right ass. My only conclusion is that I liked Samson and that most Christians are hypocritical asshats. But what was I expecting my great great aunt thought Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia were evil because they had magic.
Also if anyone is curious how well the good Christian aspect faired now that I’m 26 and not 8. Well hark to the ancestors, the spirits, and the gods, I’ll burn every last mega church to the ground and send them to their god to face a second judgement not my own.
I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t that. Kinda disappointed it wasn’t a Rick Roll.
I think Carlson is a bit too IDK weak, timid, insecure. Don’t quite have the wording for it but one of the big advantages Trump has that most of his potential replacements don’t is that his narcissism is so all encompassing that he comes across as strong to them. Mind you that’s just self assurance and it’s equivalent to a sleazy used car salesman but it is a notable difference.
Fucken Markiplier is on like half of them. Nothing against the guy just kinda funny that he’s been notable for so long, also some of those did not age well.
In theory they could and I think that’s what they were setting Kirk to be once Trump croaks, but then his neck did that thing. A lot of the problem is that the current crop of right wingers both the base and the leaders are fucking lunatics that are broadly crippled by their own egos and madness.
Just look at their propagandists, it’s gone from Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh to fucken Asmingold and Catturd. Sure the old ones were still just as horrific and stupid but at least they vaguely attempted to be respectable. I think this devolution has been broadly effective across the board, from the highest elements like Musk and Thiel to the lowest dregs listening to some inane podcaster on the way to work.
I legit don’t think they have anyone outside of Trump who can rally their base on a unified level anymore, so they stick to him hoping they can solidify their gains before the whole damned thing implodes.
What if we Holy Roman Empire and the feds just become a figurehead element?
Then the fucken universe is downright racist against my pale ass, because my luck when it comes to non social elements is right shit.
Also I am well into the unhealthy paleness level so folks just kinda avoid me which is nice.
I kinda want a lighter from a funeral home for my glovebox now. I don’t smoke but it’s always good to have an emergency lighter.
Also a in a societal collapse markets will reestablish themselves relatively quickly so if you have a trade good like gold, copper, or silver you could probably use it as a solid liquid asset. Mind you I’d say a 1-2 year minimum for markets to reestablish themselves so you have to survive that first. Also you will be at the mercy of the merchants and tradesmen regardless.
I have a piece of shit Sony TV. I rolled it up the stairs when I was 16, it has only been removed from it’s wheeled table a week ago I am now 26. These so so bitches weigh a lot.
As I understand it it was less so a matter of direct spelling changes and was moreso a matter of “correcting” pronunciation of school children. While it’s generally failed every generation or two it seems the English face some version, the most notable being the shifter of how to pronounce solder so as to pronounce the L. Though that one in particular may just be people not knowing how to say it as well.
Also as an aside Webster simply documented the most common spellings of words at the time, while he definitely had an impact on a lot of the spelling most of it was pretty well spread by the point he published his dictionary. Printing presses charged by the letter so superfluous letters generally got abandoned namely the U in a lot of words since it generally doesn’t effect inflection in American English, I’ve also seen variants wherein silent Ls and Ks were dropped though most of those ones didn’t stick probably because nife just kinda looks wrong.
