Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

Because quoting in a response provides structure to the response that improves readability.

Also, you are posting on a publicly accessible forum, not having a one-on-one conversation. In that context, that fact that you may remember what you said doesn't mean that it's not beneficial to repeat it for others.

The "idiot" comment was unnecessarily rude where someone was engaging in what appeared to be a good faith response, and only brings down the tone of your entire post.

Why so often? I just updated my almost 10 year old PC that had one gpu upgrade in its life, and was still happily playing the 10 year old games I wanted to play.

Then I got the new PC with decent specs and decided to push its limits with some Stardew Valley.

Possibly he knows that, and is just trying to bleed his supporters for donations until the last moment.

The article has a paragraph later on that says:

In rejecting the plaintiffs' claims for damages, the court said, "It cannot be said that discussions at the Diet...regarding provisions not allowing same-sex marriage are clearly in violation of the Constitution."

I suspect the plaintiffs are only appealing that aspect of the judgment.

Stewart's line about how can another administration be more absurd than the Bush administration dated surprisingly badly.

This sounds like a good way to turn an ally against them.

Does Trump have any leverage on Kavanaugh? He played close to the line with the rules to get him appointed for life, but choosing a person likely to be ideologically symathetic is more of a mutually beneficial arrangement than a favour.

It feels like the best way to get someone who is in a secure position of power like that offside is to tell them they have to do what you say or that they owe you. Kavanaugh can just as easily say Trump is disqualified, and never be told he owes anyone again.

Have you also been forgetting to covert votes to metric before you send them?

Are you a bot? Because that was a rambling word-salad with no discernible point.
