  1. Hello coolrunner, welcome back! We do have a few wrestling megathreads threads floating around in GD https://unevenedge.com/search/?&tags=sports&search_and_or=or If none of them are active and/or you'd rather start fresh, feel free
  2. let's use the husk money to pay for Twitter ads to siphon users wait, but then he'd get it back

  6. Skip to 6:30 if you just want to hear what the Plan B is.
  7. Biden's gonna do an afternoon address
  8. There were actually two cases that SCOTUS decided: in case #1, the private plaintiffs had no standing: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/22-535_i3kn.pdf in case #2, the state plaintiffs had standing and the court threw out the program 6-3: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/22-506_nmip.pdf Whelp, back to the drawing board.
  9. The right to refuse service stops at legally prohibited discrimination. Question in this case is whether someone can deny "expressive services" to a legally protected class because it violates their religious beliefs. Majority says yes.
  10. First decision today is a religious rights/LGBT rights case: The Court holds that the First Amendment bars Colorado from forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/21-476_c185.pdf

    Pokémon Go

    I was never a big raider because it required being out and about, but then they added the pandemic remote raids and I could latch onto raids at the park from the comfort of my own home (until they raised the price of course)
  12. disco mentioned the exemption, so it was a thing. I think it may have been a state-by-state decision on how to implement? because really what happened if I recollect was the feds conditioned federal transportation funding on states individually raising it to 21. but I def know of people who were allowed to drink and then got cut off.
  13. It's like when the US made all the states increase the drinking age to 21, so there are folks out there in that cohort who could go drink in bars and then suddenly couldn't again.
  14. last day of the term is tomorrow. Student loans and a religious/LGBT rights case.
  15. It's more like a cohort or school grade than a personal birthday.
  16. Based on the reporting etc., they're still mostly in the "shaping" phase (probing, destroying depots and bridges, etc.) and haven't committed their main reserves to a real push yet.
  17. Yeah head to head polls this early are functionally meaningless
  18. ONLY 69 PAYMENTS of $4.20 AND YOUR PENIS CAN BE AS BROKEN AS MOLARBEAR'S
  19. There's also a religious rights/gay rights case and a religious workplace accomodations care. One other that escapes me.
  20. happy birthday @K_N
  21. scoob has been practicing his kiss face
  22. SCOTUS announced three of its remaining opinions. A jurisdiction case (Mallory v. Norfolk Southern - 5-4 Justice Gorsuch for the majority), a free speech case (Counterman v. Colorado - 7-2 Justice Kagan for the majority), and the big redistricting whammy Moore v. Harper. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/21-1271_3f14.pdf Moore v. Harper was the case where NC's GOP legislature argued that state courts have no authority to block partisan gerrymandering because legislatures have "plenary" authority to redistrict. There was a whole lot of pants-shitting on this one, as Chief Justice Roberts wrote the Rucho decision a couple years ago that said partisan gerrymandering claims fall outside the reach of federal courts. Roberts wrote the majority opinion in Moore, joined by the libs, Kav, and ACB: Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence: Basically, they're saying that state courts can act on elections issues, but the federal courts can say "hold it you've gone too far". Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito dissented. Seven cases left to go, next opinion day is Thursday and presumably one more day after that.
