Minority opinion, but I like those style caps. I like that I dont have to hold the cap. It's much easier on the go.

You should see what the archaeologists are up to

My best guess is you'll now need to have your parents and maybe even grandparents birth certificates if they were US citizens. That would be solid proof. If you get to see a judge

You know we're probably very close on the political spectrum.

I've just studied a lot history, and you've basically described the entire debate that's been within the Supreme Court since day 1.

Look at slavery and segregation. They ruled in favor of those several times, and eventually they even reversed their decisions. Like you said the constitution didn't change the court did. I wouldn't say ending school segregation was a rogue act.

I personally hate this court. But I think it is very important to analyze these decisions in the historical context of the court.

Like I said these decisions are terrible for the American people, they will take decades to repair, and cause terrible harm. My hope is we make it out of this and we have true reform of the courts.

Between you and me I'd love to see this whole system torn down, but I'm doubtful that will happen in my lifetime.

And I'll give you the suspension of habeas corpus and they released a multitude of decisions today. Your comment from days ago is now much much more accurate imo based on the decisions of the past 2 days.

And Republican leadership whined when the tea party appeared on the scene.

Now look at where they are. It is possible

Biden wasn't on my ballot during the election

I'm not saying to avoid it, fuck em, but it's basically their kink

I don't know choosing to not feed people when there is enough food to feed everyone seems a lot worse than choosing which people to not feed during a time of famine.

Obviously more people die from the famine, but at least that's due to a lack of resources and not a manufactured scarcity

That would just feed their persecution fetish

I wouldn't say optimism. There's historical precedent for this. Whether or not it will happen I have no idea.

As opposed to the current time of surplus and abundance where it is if "you don't work you don't eat". Which is morally a lot worse considering there is more than enough food to feed everyone

Allow me to introduce you to my friend court packing.

But also in terms of things like Roe, all we need to fix that is a law passed through congress. The court would have no constitutional basis challenging it at that point. If they did it loops back around to justifying court packing.

 

"We're looking at doing something where in the case of good, reputable farmers, they can take responsibility for the people that they hire, and let them have responsibility, because we can't put the farms out of business, and at the same time, we don't want to hurt people that aren't criminals," Trump told reporters.

Sounds a lot like slavery to me

 

Like the title said I'm building a 55 gallon freshwater tank community, and I've decided to document the journey here. It's my goal to create something fun and to spark good conversations about the hobby.

So tell me your expirences, stories, cristiscism, everything.

I have purchased a used tank that will need some work and will document that as well, but to start here is my current stocking list. Please excuse the quality of the image. I'm open to switching some species out if there are any suggestions. I'm definently set on the Pearl Gouramis though.

 

Soon the military will be policing our streets with ICE.

They requested 20,000 thousand troops.

 

Is it truly that bad of a combo as some forums suggest?

I'm getting back into the hobby and wanted to recreate a tank i kept in college. I'm looking to do a planted 20-30 gallon and I kept a combo of white clouds, zebra danios, and a betta very successfully back then. The fish seemed to be very active, in good health, and had great color. I remember I kept the tank around the 74-76 degree mark. Everyone seemed happy.

I really wanted to replicate that tank at a bigger scale, but my now I'm seeing advice that says it's a bad idea.

Anybody have any thoughts/suggestions?

I'd consider another centerpiece fish instead of the betta if anyone has any suggestions

 

Both locally and during work travel through the southeastern US, I'm noticing a lot more agricultural fields being left fallow/abandoned. Usually by this point in the season fields would at least be cleared and planted, but many have been left un-plowed.

I'm also seeing a shift in crops being grown. Definently a lot more fields are growing hay than usual.

Farmers trying to respond to tariffs? Farmers opting to not lease lands leading to more empty fields?

 

Things in the US are increasingly unstable and the markets have begun reacting to that. It's not looking very promising right now.

Personally, I've begun trying to save as much money as possible and have stayed on top of my deep pantry. I've also stored even more food that I had before.

How is everyone else preparing for a recession? Any tips?

 

What is your unconventional prep. Something that you think is uncommon or weird, but will always keep extras of?

Personally I've been really big on keeping canned pumpkin on hand. While it's not the most nutrient dense food around it has the most fiber out of any canned item I can find and adds a new taste to everything. Goes great in mashed potatoes and soup.
