@stux I have no intention of reporting it.. just looking out for you.
@stux As long as you know the risks I wont be saying anything. It seems blatent and intentional though so if anyone does report you you will have a hard time on this one I think.
@lamp@berserker.town @stux
There sure is, and this doesnt even approach the rules of fair use. there are for criteria to qualify as fair use, and this does not meet those.
@stux Wait what, you realize that is illegal to share copyrighted art right? I mean if your aware I dont care go for it, as long as you know this is illegal though (and my put your instance at risk as the mod too)
Excellent point. Regardless of who appointed the supreme court it clearly was not within Biden's legal right to do so no matter how you cut it.
@volkris @SameGirlie @freemo Forgiving a loan is spending. Only the House can spend. Biden has no right to forgive a loan without an appropriations bill.
Keep in mind that Congress wrote their appropriations bills based on reliance that these student loans would be paid back.
By law, Congress regularly cites these payments as part of the legal budget, no different from any other tax.
Biden cannot legally decline to collect this money any more than he can just decide not to collect corporate taxes any more.
That these student loan payments are part of the legal funding of government is a point all too often overlooked.
@medigoth Good, then we mostly agree.
That said correlation only shows correlation I think we all agree it **never** is evidence in and of itself of causation, for that wee either 1) need to control all variables in a lab setting (usually not possible) or 2) use other methods that can demonstrate (or at least suggest) causation... By the sound of it we agree here as well.
@SameGirlie Not sure I follow what you mean.
I assume you mean Trump? Thats a tough one. I mean I agree he was a piece of shit and hope he is found guilty and prevented from running a second time for sure... But are you suggesting that all presidents who are legitimately elected but later commit crimes should have all their SCOTUS selections reversed? All their rulings too? Not sure how that could be done in any practical sense, though I understand the spirit there.
So how would we legally determine what laws are constitutional now in a post-trump world?
::fingers crossed::
@freemo Cases are up before The Supreme Court of the U.S. This will be a final judgement on the matter. We've been told June for the judgement. hope that helps a bit
@SameGirlie Ahh interesting.. I will be curious to hear the results.
Personally I hope they say the loan forgiveness is unconstitutional and I hope the result is that the government passes laws that make college free or cheap the right way (paying FUTURE college bills, not past, and paid by the government not loan agencies).
@SameGirlie I really need to catch up on this.. I thought it was ruled unconstitutional a while ago?
😂 🤣 😂 Interview with Trump Supporters (at his arraignment)
@darnell Dude the trump conspiracy people are on another level of crazy...
@JessTheUnstill yea that makes sense too. But even if you just look at breast development, hrt late in life statistically will cause far less (if any) breast development than if its started earlier.
That actually makes sense. I woukd support banning football before age 18.
That said trans i see as different simply because hormone therapy is far less effective post puberty.
