Place your random thoughts.

I think I pretty much just live in a state of constant stress. Which is incredibly unhealthy but dat's just the way my brain wants to be 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, true. They could just have waited a bit more though.

I can say this much though. While Roe v Wade (which isn’t even 100% responsible for the legalization of abortion) and Obergefell v Hodges won’t be overturned, the following will potentially happen as long as conservatives get the 6-3 majority:

1. The Judicial Branch will act less like the Legislative Branch and more like what they were originally envisioned by the Founding Fathers. This is what bothers the Democrats the most. The fact that they will appeal to the Constitution more than their issues and stay neutral will make it harder for them to enforce or pass their laws. This is why they are wanting to pack the court.
2. While Democrats have won the battle of legalizing abortion and same-sex marriage nationally, they will continue to lose when womens’ issues and LGBT issues start infringing upon others’ rights. Remember the Hobby Lobby ruling? Remember the Masterpiece Cakeshop ruling? Remember the Chick-fil-A law Texas passed in response to San Antonio’s ban on it in airports? There’s going to be more cases like this where either the conservatives win or the court will narrowly rule. This way, women and LGBT people can keep the rights they were fighting for, but they can’t infringe upon others’ rights to fulfill their social needs.
3. Obamacare (yes, I still keep calling it Obamacare) will be overturned, and chances are, they may rule that the government cannot control healthcare at a national level like it was done in Canada and UK.
4. They’ll continue limiting the government size, hand states rights’ issues to the states while keeping stuff that don’t belong in politics out of politics.

All of these outcomes will bother the Democrats since they can’t have everything go their way anymore, but the constitution will be restored.

For a guy who clutches pearls at the slightest of things you seem really happy that the court is now packed with partisan judges. But hey, since the Dem’s can’t have anything it’s good right?
 
That's weird, a post I made a few moments ago on a thread about Coca-Cola just mysteriously disappeared without warning.

Gulp... I think this forum may be haunted by the ghosts of past moderators 👻👻👻

My Christmas Tabletop (I still need to decorate the buoy, but everything is Christmas-y).
 
I've been recollecting the books I've read for a website to get an overview and I learned that a book I've enjoyed as a kid, Krabat, has been "renamed" to Krabat and the Sorcerer's Mill for very mysterious reasons of course. I haven't read Harry Potter, but I'm pretty sure the books are nothing alike. It came out in the 70s and is pretty old, but it's sooo good that's why I'm making this post. If you can look past an oldish writing style and probably a bad translation it's a nice little read for the spooky season. Not really scary, just a pretty good story in my opinion.
 
There are so many kind and awesome people on these forums. I never cease to be amazed at how there are so many kind, sweet, creative, and amazing people that go out of their way to help me and so many others. I just adore that about these forums. I always love to helping others out whenever I can. You all are just super awesome, and I'm very thankful for all of you! <3 (I know this might sound cheesy but it's true and felt prompted I wanted to say so :))
 
I noticed that Christmas has became more about the lights than about opening presents. Doesn’t mean that it’s not about presents. It’s just that lights became more dominant.

Speaking of that, I’ve updated my Christmas tabletop.
