Maybe i am reading it wrong, but it does seem legal. Let us say that you want to hire someone for the (looks up a race organization) NAACP. In your application, you say that "must be a current member of the NAACP". Seems like that would be okay. Not sure if that would be different.

Skunk weed!

He’s fine, still in Colorado as far as I know.

Wow! That is really amazing. 500,000 years ago!!!

Seems like it is pretty standard in the US to sue everybody who has even had any possible connection to the "case".

Great idea. The government has experts who know the best food for poor people to eat. These experts will advise the poor people and help them become fit and healthy. Poor people everywhere will demand this amenity for their ghetto. Chicago leads the way.

I believe she has already retired Olympic Committee Bans Megan Rapinoe For Life Because “She’s a Troublemaker” https://news20click.com/olympic-committee-bans-megan-rapinoe-for-life-because-shes-a-troublemaker/ In a surprising turn of events, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has made a bold decision to ban Megan Rapinoe, the outspoken soccer star, from participating in any future Olympic Games. This comes as a shock to many, as Rapinoe has been a prominent figure in the sports world, known for her activism and strong opinions. The move raises questions about the line between an athlete’s right to free speech and the responsibility that comes with representing their country on an international stage.

I bet working at SpaceX is fun. They probably have 3rd graders next to college students all sketching cool ideas on napkins and then Elon just picks one at random and funds $50 billion for it.

I have no confidence that culture will be more aligned with me in 20 years than it is now.

@bachophile said in Saddam's Boats: So retro Yeah, but in 1982, it was probably cool AF.

"Art" is just the wrong use case for NFTs. Digital items in computer games do have real value. These things would work well as NFTs. And once we have the infrastructure to transfer ownership of real-world things via NFTs, then things become really interesting.

The guy is like 3 feet tall, can you trust his measurements?

And every time we try to short-circuit it we fail in one way or another.

@Mik said in Vegan leather: Seriously. I just saw vegan leather handbags advertised on tv. WTF is vegan leather. It’s gotta be plastic. May be plastic, may be plant-based cellulose. There is real concern about whether such leather imitations have more or less adverse impacts on the environment. See, for example, https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/fashion/fashion-news/a30640996/vegan-leather-sustainability/
