I’ve noticed that the instance can’t be reached through the Connect, Voyager, and Thunder apps. I thought the instance has just been down for a couple days, but I was able to log in through browser.

Don’t know if that’s helpful info or not!

The question is whether the new conservative party would push even further right wing as a whole. The Republicans had a schism in the late 2000s when the Tea Party was formed. When that movement was absorbed back into the Republican party, their ideology was pushed further to the right.

Teddy was big as VP, but that’s about it. They spend a lot of their days in the Senate in meetings to help push through legislation and breaking ties whenever they happen.

IIRC, there are some who think this could be a reason why there are more cancer cases now as tiny microplastics make their way into various cells.

No, the Constitution says, “The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.” in Article 3 and in Article 1 “The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.”

It could be said that Congress is mandated to pass a law defining Good Behavior, so that the judicial branch can execute its powers as defined in the constitution.

Given that Lemmy is largely populated by programmers, I assume they have done next to no exercise through their 20s and mostly sit hunched over in a chair all day. So now that they are hitting their 30s, they are paying the price for abusing their bodies.

You don’t need to be huge like Arnold, but find some way to move your body every day. While you’re young in your teens, 20s, and 30s find different and interesting ways to keep your body moving and build up strength, whether that be swimming, running, larping, lifting weights, finding a local exercise meet-up, local sports league, or walking to a park and using the little exercise machines.

A lot of the back issues will go away with more core strength and lifting things properly with your legs. If you can’t think of anything, then start by sitting up straight and tall in your chair using your core to stabilize yourself and see whether in a few weeks you can get through a half or maybe even full day without slouching. Anything is better than nothing!

Many of those that move out are conservative and want to be with their kind.

In 2018, native Texans voted for Beto 51-40 and people who moved here voted for Cruz 57-42.

Only for his lawyers to send the prosecutors a copy of every text message that he sent and received for the last 2 years. Haha

There’s nothing that says it can’t be done. But I’m sure SCOTUS will have something to say should a case make it to them.

Constitutional amendment would be the best way. Not sure if it would be easier via Congress or State Legislatures given the implosion on Capitol Hill.

And for people with blood clots! Locking your knees prevents blood flow and can get those clots forming faster.

Since locking your knees while standing makes you pass out, I wonder if locking your knees while seated also makes you pass out.
