You do know there’s a big difference between a “default” option and a “mandatory” setting, right? Specifically that you do, in fact, have a choice to change a default?

Not forcing the user to proactively make a choice is not the same thing as denying the user the ability to choose.

Google can be REQUIRED to give users A CHOICE of Search Engines.

Don’t they, err, already do this?

I mean a search engine is literally just a website and absolutely nothing prevents you from just going to duckduckgo.com or bing.com or wherever. Don’t think Chrome prevents you from accessing other search engines in general, and last time I used it (admittedly a while back) it had a setting to change the search engine used by default if you just typed something into the address bar.

The most recent season has a surprising amount of sexually assaulting Huey though. The first time they even play it for laughs.

I assume that’s who they mean, since Barack has already had two terms and his kids aren’t old enough.

Apparently Brandon called Trump vice president Trump

When he was in his prime the VP would have been the presidential candidate from the other party, so the confusion makes sense.

And this has convinced me I am officially an old. I’m not sure what language about half of that is in and can’t even guess at what some of it means from context.

For anyone curious, here’s the bill in question: https://publications.tnsosfiles.com/acts/113/pub/pc1064.pdf

Apparently they dropped it being a felony in final version of the bill, it is now a cause for civil liability to “intentionally recruit, harbor, or transport an unemancipated minor within this state for the purpose of receiving a prohibited medical procedure under this chapter, regardless of where the medical procedure is to be procured.” There are exceptions cut out for common carriers, the minor’s parents or guardians, and anyone designated by the minor’s parents or guardians and the civil action can only be initiated by the minor’s parents or guardians.

I’m curious what counts as “recruiting” kids for trans health care.

I mean Newton thought alchemy was a real science.

I mean, alchemy did kind of hold all the cards regarding substances and their interactions prior to the development of modern chemistry.

You treat it like any other traffic accident, except if a self driving car is responsible, that responsibility lies with the vehicle’s owner.

That’s because you’re from the South and Southern American English and Appalachian English are the two biggest dialects that normally use y’all.
