My gut had me wanting to say the same thing, but looking at the age ranges, this actually seems reasonable and in line with how many other countries operate. By 6 years old, students in the US are in first grade, for example. Kindergarten a year or two prior as well, which is also compulsory in some states.
You’re Mormon and you call yourself a socialist?
Socialism is the antithesis of religion.
Oh no, someone please think about the poor white millionaire’s feelings.
Sure, but also worth noting that some prisons are federally run, a state wouldn’t have the jurisdiction to ban something that the fed controls. That is why reform needs to come from the top, not just at the state level.
I think the text is pretty direct about permitting it. If it is listed as an exception to that which shall not exist, then it is explicitly allowed to exist.
It’s not a de-facto exception by omission, it is named as permissable within the text of the amendment.
Sadly the post-civil war amendments include a provision that allows prisoners to be used for unpaid labor.
From the text of the 13th amendment:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Only argument is if the party has been “duly” convicted, which is a recurring issue we see with the US justice system.
Definitely any of the showerthoughts communities
Because Wikipedia doesn’t serve ads or pay Google, so Google doesn’t like to make them the top result for a lot of searches they should be.
Now with ads!
Of course, but I think when people complain about the software, it’s that out-of-the-box experience they are describing. The vast majority of users are not savvy enough to flash custom ROMs, sideload, or even install a new launcher. And even for those with the expertise to do so, it’s extra work.
But then that also doesn’t quite address the app situation either. Android, for better or worse, is all about scalable interfaces to accommodate an infinitely wide array of devices, but most people with a tablet will tell you that they don’t like “tablet” apps that are just rescaled phone apps with way too much whitespace. So there may be something to be said about the way Apple maintains iPad OS separately from iOS, with more stringent design standards to adhere to for app developers to have their iPad apps listed in their app store.
It’s a valid concern, though. The tablet experience has always sucked on Android, so the foldable experience is trying to hybridize with something the OS has never been able to get right.
But the inverse is also true. There’s no telling if a future software update will take a good experience and make it terrible.
Only difference I can see is that it looks like they sharpened the edges and removed the screen bevel in the process.
But that could have already happened on prior devices without me noticing, since my current device is years old and I haven’t seen a need to upgrade yet.
But you are what you eat. Become the blahaj.
Banning an entire class of ads online and in media during peak hours? Sounds like a win to me, even if it doesn’t have the effect they hope for.
Ads suck, especially ads that are selling garbage no one needs. The fewer, the better.
Some Republicans, like all of the ones endorsing Harris, but Trump’s MAGA core voting base is still shielded by their reality distortion field where Trump “won”.
I couldn’t even watch 10 minutes because it was so painfully obvious they were just lying through their teeth, and it was so desperate sounding that to a non-R voter, it came across as them not even watching the debate.
I think that may be their strategy. They assume a lot of their base doesn’t want to watch the debate, instead they just tune in after the fact, and they get the bizarro universe account of what happened presented as fact and thus feel more validated in their beliefs.
Try spending a $2 bill at any register manned by someone under the age of 40.
That’s the only thing I wish they’d say more often. Get out and vote!
Depends on how they say it.
“Pokemon Go…to the polls” still echoes in the dark recesses or my memory.
Religion has very flawed ideas regarding community, however. It always results in a hierarchical structure and works to exclude those who don’t abide by its values.
It is possible to be a good, selfless person and be religious, but I don’t think it’s possible to have religion without enabling power-grabbing, insular practices too.
