"Basically how the government was going to be run..." in regards to WHAT, Nikki?!?

That was bait. They say something borderline reasonable now, and you listen. Eventually, they say something weird and you let it slide. These people weasel themselves into reasonable people's lives and ruin them, day after day.

Yes. That's how no-fault divorce works. The point is, they don't want that at all, for anyone, regardless of assets or children. They want wives to be the property of men, unable to get a divorce.

What socialist country has restaurants that give an itemized bill in English with USD for the currency?

A decent approach, as a social platform, would be to use the Reddit model. The content is stripped and replaced with [deleted] if deleted by the user, and [removed] if removed by moderation (with the appropriate log in the modlog). This should maintain the overall comment chain.

I think the issue may be federating the update to other instances. I'm not sure how it works now, but if it's treated as an edit, that should work like they currently do.

Yep. It pisses me off when I'm talking about the effective ban in my state (TN), and some dipshit says, "They have until 6 weeks, it's not a ban!1!1!1!1", as if the practical fucking effect of the policy isn't that by the time a person knows they're pregnant, it's almost certainly too late to do anything about it.

Nevermind the fact that the state doesn't really have any abortion providers left, and the closest states to go to might be NC or IL, each of which is roughly a 4-6 hour drive each way for most residents of the state.

It's asinine, and cowardly. If you want to ban it, ban it and prepare to get kicked to the curb. Stop lying to people about your policies because you're too cowardly to defend your position.

Every Unity developer is under the same agreement. The changes were not announced to be "moving forward". It's a change to existing licenses to use Unity. For everyone. Everywhere.

I don't know that licensing changes have been retroactive in the past. How do lawyers prevent companies from retroactively changing licensing? My guess would be to sue after the fact, which is probably why these developers are hinting that they're going to suffer economic harm if Unity follows through with this. This statement may be their lawyers doing the work they'd normally do in this kind of circumstance.

The interest rate on my federal direct student loans is 6.8% on half of them (undergrad) and ~9% on the other half (graduate), iirc.

There's a constitutional reason the justice department falls under the president. It is a function of the executive branch, from Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution: "...shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed...". The DoJ is the enforcement arm of the executive branch.

If it's the one from his arraignment, it's a trump branded umbrella that says "TRUMP" in gold letters on the side you can't see. Which, if it's anything like his other branded stuff, it's most likely crap, and you can buy one if you are easily parted from your money.

It's almost as if he isn't actually investigating medical billing fraud.

This is such a short-sighted take. My wife was prom queen... 3 years before I met her. I forgot about it completely until I read your post and thought, "what a childish thing to say, no one cares about that." Why? Because I have 20 years of history with my wife. 2 children, a good job, a good life, and a happy family. Exactly 0% of that has anything to do with a prom that happened years before we met.

I want to live a long and happy life, and have as many days as possible with my wife, my children, and maybe their children (if they decide to have any). The things that worry me aren't whether or not I'm having sex with a former prom queen, but how can I stay healthy so I can have a chance to make as many memories with the people I love as possible. It's about whether or not they feel loved, accepted, and fulfilled. High school popularity has no value whatsoever to healthy, adjusted adults.
