Trump: incoherent rambling about immigrants stealing then eating pets and Democrat governors aborting newborns

Kamala: “He lost the election, and he’s clearly having a hard time processing that.”

He didn’t. The attack occurred in the pre-security area.

The rally was in Butler, a deep red town in the next county north of Pittsburgh.

The shooter was from Bethel Park, closer to and on the other side of Pittsburgh. There’s a subway line from Bethel Park to downtown Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh itself is very blue. I’d call Bethel Park purple. It’s definitely more suburban than rural.

Or surveillance.

It’s all “privacy, privacy, privacy” when it comes to private companies. But the EU themselves wants all of that data to create a surveillance state.

Not that the US government doesn’t pull the same shit, but it does feel less hypocritical when they do it, because they’re not even pretending to be concerned with privacy.

With a headline like that, I thought he died…

When they’re publishing papers about your cesspool in Science, you know you done fucked up.

I think my current lowest is 17%

I was about to say “damn that’s high,” but then I realized I didn’t know what my lowest was. Turns out it’s 27%.

So yeah. I’m glad I never leave a balance.

s/fire/not hire/

The argument is the same.

Edited the comment.

Obergefell is a 14th Amendment ruling, which is “equal protection under the law.” So if straight couples are allowed to marry, then gay couples must be allowed to marry.

But with at-will employment, everyone is equally unprotected under the law. So no 14th Amendment violation.

The non-discrimination stuff in employment law comes from the Civil Rights act.

While I agree that it’s shitty, I don’t see how it’s a first amendment issue. The first amendment is just a limit on the kinds of laws that can be passed. Privately, there can be consequences based on speech, religion, etc. For example, platforms like Twitter are not required to host speech that they disagree with.

The US has at-will employment. Your employer can fire you not hire you for almost any reason, including if you make public statements that they disagree with.

There are very few limits to this. One of which is that you employer cannot discriminate based on sex. The lower court found that discrimination based on sexual orientation counts as discrimination based on sex. The appeals court disagreed.

This is normally the kind of thing that the Supreme Court should settle. But given who is currently sitting on the SCOTUS, I don’t think I want this case to go that far right now.

Yeah, but it doesn’t really matter.

The federal government doesn’t trust Clear enough to let them into the Precheck line.

TSA Precheck involves a background check and interview performed by the government. This allows them to make the actual screening process lighter, because they’ve deemed you to be low risk.

With Clear, you still have to go through the full security check. And it also costs significantly more.

• Precheck: $14/y
• Clear: 190$/y

The cost of TSA Precheck is $70 for 5 years, so $14 per year (plus an additional $8 for the initial enrollment). If you travel internationally a lot you can upgrade to Global Entry for $100 for 5 years. Or if you travel to Canada frequently, you can get Nexus (a superset of Global Entry) at $50 for 5 years.

It’s hard to make the money privilege argument with Precheck at that price.

Clear doesn’t bypass TSA. It just skips you to the front of the line.

TSA Precheck involves a background check and interview. This allows the actual screening process to be lighter.

Clear doesn’t skip screening… It skips to the front of the line to be screened.

Everyone still gets screened.

But didn’t you hear they’re rolling out robo taxis by August 🙉

It’s not restricted in the US.

If the person is calling themselves a “software developer” instead of a “software engineer” then they almost certainly live some place where “engineer” is a restricted term.

Are you a senior or staff software engineer for a multinational tech company in the Bay Area or NYC?

$450k is typical in that case.

I’m intentionally trying to separate the social discrimination problem from the legal problem, and to not make a comment about the former.

I guess I get that the state has an interest in preventing incestuous birth, but marriage is orthogonal sex.
