Not vaccinating your child is abuse. Bringing them overseas unvaccinated is abuse to the power of 10.

I'd ask where an Admiralty Law expert is when you need one, but I know where one is lol.
I am familiar enough with maritime law to be pretty sure that flying a foreign nation's flag falsely is very illegal. What is bizarre is less the situation maybe, but Trump trying to brag about it. It's not an example of some policy victory but upholding international trade regulations.
11.12.2025 05:29 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0So apparently the US seized a tanker, but the reason for the seizure might have been above-board based on maritime law.
Damn it I knew I should have taken that course on Admiralty law. I know the Professor. He's this wacky old guy who would love to talk about this.
If nothing else, I think As of right encourages towns that are not hostile to development to figure out how to get their butts in gear about ADU's. A lot of good development practices just seem to go ignored because the town council doesn't know they exist.
11.12.2025 03:50 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0...Now we just need to convince the state having a mandatory 'as of right' for ADU's with an 'opt-out' clause is irrational. I'm so tired of needing to accomodate towns that want the rest of us to solve the problem while they reap in benefits from the state.
11.12.2025 03:48 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Allowed by right absolutely has mattered. Connecticut passed ADU legislation some years back, and I can tell you from first hand experience that the towns have figured out how to permit it and it's chugging along.
11.12.2025 03:47 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I'll be honest I've always been confused about the beef with strongtowns because I didn't know they had this problem. I would encounter YIMBYs complain about Strong Towns and be like 'uh...aren't Strong Towns also YIMBYs?' I think they are how I encountered the movement. I see the issue now.

This is a lie. All this reveals is they despise the disabled and think any effort to be inclusive is inherently wrong.

Oh God what I wouldn't do for a Muppet adaptation of Shakespeare. The Kermit x Miss Piggy versions of Romeo and Juliet would be soooo much better.
Macbeth and Hamlet would be amazing.
Who exactly do people who idolize guys like this, think they'll impress? It sure as hell isn't women. It isn't their elders. It isn't kids. The only people who care are guys like them that fell for the same lie.

Guys who show their strength by how they care for others and handle difficult situations with grace. People who are humble and intellectually curious. It's sad what passes as impressive these days.

Refusing to listen to people who know a subject better than you do and not admitting when you're wrong is somehow seen as 'brave'.
09.12.2025 19:49 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I feel like many Americans subconsciously act that to be rational and intelligent is 'elitist'. Way too much bluster, not enough calm, tranquil earnest wisdom.
