SCOTUS handed the Biden administration a major practical victory on Wednesday, rejecting a Republican challenge that sought to prevent the government from contacting social media platforms to combat what it said was misinformation.

The court ruled that the states and users who had challenged those interactions had not sNO STANDING TO SUEue.

The decision, by a 6-to-3 vote, left for another day fundamental questions about what limits the First Amendment imposes on the government’s power to influence the technology companies that are the main gatekeepers of information in the internet era.

The case arose from a barrage of communications from administration officials urging platforms to take down posts on topics like the coronavirus vaccine and claims of election fraud. The attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana, both Republicans, sued, along with three doctors, the owner of a right-wing website that frequently traffics in conspiracy theories and an activist concerned that Facebook had suppressed her posts on the supposed side effects of the coronavirus vaccine

“The plaintiffs, without any concrete link between their injuries and the defendants’ conduct, ask us to conduct a review of the yearslong communications between dozens of federal officials, across different agencies, with different social media platforms, about different topics,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority. “This court’s standing doctrine prevents us from exercising such general legal oversight of the other branches of government.”

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil M. Gorsuch, dissented.
“For months,” Justice Alito wrote, “high-ranking government officials placed unrelenting pressure on Facebook to suppress Americans’ free speech. Because the court unjustifiably refuses to address this serious threat to the First Amendment, I respectfully dissent.”

Why do some girls not like buff guys, is it too intimidating?

The North Carolina Republicans surely think so:

Facts that would be undisputed were humans able to know them. And indeed we get very close with the scientific method.

But I think a good portion of Americans don’t think there is ANY actual facts. Strangely.

I think that tan lines can go either way, depending on what your natural skin-tone is.

I've seen a few guys/girls with tan lines that just look WRONG and that's a small no-go for me. Yellow base color? Oof. Clear skin? Cool in a weird way and not my thing.

Raine's natural skin tone is light brown/dark wheat, so she looks AMAZING with tan lines. Like seriously, y'all should be jealous 👀😂

It's Wicked Wednesday, and we hate to give you a Math problem, but this could result in some interesting information about GaG members.

Question: How much of your life (in percent) have you been single?

Let's define single as not being in an exclusive relationship, which includes, but isn't limited to, marriage.

Here's what we'd like you to do.

1. Take your age in years (AGE)

2. Take the number of years that you have been in committed relationship (s), not single (RELATIONSHIP)

3. Use this equation to calculate your single-percentage

Single-percentage = 100 times [(AGE minus RELATIONSHIP) divided by AGE]

For example, if you are 40 and been in an exclusive relationship for 10 years...

100 times [(40-10) divided by 40] = 100 times [30 divided by 40] = 100 times 0.75 = 75% of your life you've been single

NOTE: If you're not good at math or don't want to deal with this equation, just estimate your Single-percentage

4. Vote your Single-percentage in the poll

Let's see what kind of interesting results we can get for the GaG community.

Oh goodness, this is going to sound so Random, but it's factors that exists... we have become so liberal and so inclusive, that we tend to ignore the Risks and potential factors that might be unajustable to others. Especially when it comes to intermarriage and Cultural factors.
