Instead, the bill requires only the Department of Education, which is in charge of federal grants for financial aid and funding of schools, to consider the definition of antisemitism when investigating programs that receive federal funding. Essentially, it gives the Education Department the ability to pull funding if it finds discrimination “based on race, color, or national origin,” something known as a Title VI investigation.
The definition used is an 11 point one explained in the above article. The gripes are basically that the definition is broad enough to include what many feel should be protected speech and this would curtail criticism of Israel.
Controversial take but having the industry fixed at $60 only will increasingly encourage predatory models as inflation continues. Price should be reflective of the quality and content of a product, not a fixed standard.
The Supreme Court on Thursday reinstated a lawsuit by the National Rifle Association, alleging that a New York official violated the group’s First Amendment rights when she urged banks and insurance companies not to do business with it in the wake of the 2018 shooting at a Florida high school.

This demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the fundamentals of US governance. The President can’t dissolve SCOTUS. He hasn’t been granted that power.
Who are you to say, peon, that the POTUS cannot dissolve the SCOTUS?
Just your average joe who is able to read a few paragraphs. The federal government doesn’t have any power not explicitly granted to them.
What I was trying to say is that Biden should call the bluff, and force the SCOTUS to decide right now.
It not a bluff it’s an important case. They should write an actually well founded opinion that doesn’t set up terrible case law for future generations.
Why not? If the POTUS really does have absolute immunity, why not? Do you see the insanity this road leads down?
You’re operating under the presuppositions that it does have absolute immunity and I don’t believe he does. As I said, the case hasn’t had an opinion. And I didn’t mention it previously but the state judge thing you’d mentioned earlier is also not in the power of the president.
I wasn’t taking that personally, my point was that in America the sovereign power rests in the people (vs England in the crown). We hold the authority under which the government exists.
I really like the texturing of the bone. Very tasteful. But the brush used on the eye/nose seems inconsistent with the rest of the work. Gives me early 2000 vibes in a good way.
I was going to make a post on unpopular opinions saying comic sans is not as bad as people make it out to be and can be useful in some cases since it is easier to read. But decided not to because I wasnt sure kbin/lemmy felt about it.

To be fair for a small volume novel production of a NFA repro rifle that’s not too crazy. But the real crime is that they’ll only throw in one magazine with it at that price.
It’s the cotton gin logic. Eli Whitney thought his invention the cotton gin would reduce the need for manual labor on cotton plantations and reduce slavery. Instead it made cotton farming more profitable and revitalized slavery.
“I was in Vienna, where I met an American whom I had known in the States,” Maxim told the Times of London. “He said: ‘Hang your chemistry and electricity! If you want to make a pile of money, invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each other’s throats with greater facility.’ ”
Tldr: Don’t do this unless you have a business that requires a steam account for tax purposes. It doesn’t need to be successful but it does need to be real.
Trusts are probably a better option for this sort of thing than a LLC.
There just commenting on restrictions against personal activities in official uniforms. I’ve had jobs that have had very restrictive uniform policies that basically restricted to coming from or going to work-home. Or even you’re only allowed to be in uniform 30 minutes before or after a shift.
Beyond limiting wear on uniforms organizations general don’t want to be associated with what every employer does in their free time. And they do this with broad policies that may even prevent things they would want, like wearing one at a LGBT rally.
I agree that it’s a negative liberty. It’s just the from/to language can be misconstrued IMO, the not impede/oblige others framing is more clear without additional information. It’s, again IMO, targeting the core of the differential. Asking of others for inaction vs asking for action.
I think this cleared up our disconnect. I chose oblige to indicate that they require others to do something for them to occur. Most often paying taxes, to pay the provider of a service. This typically isn’t a ‘at gunpoint’ interaction. But negative rights will never require another to do something for it to be practiced.
I agree with your highlighting of the philosophy behind them. I was more concerned about a short rememberable way to differentiate the two.
So I chose oblige vs force to make sure it had the connotation of a civil concession.
