@EW41_SZN@SawyerPockrus@PolymarketHoops The mavs were famously not favored in any of the series that year. In fact, the mavs haven’t been favored to win any playoff series since 2010. They opened as 7 point underdogs to the Celtics.
@PBDsPodcast Two years ago, the same grade of steak was cheaper per lb at Costco than HEB. Now HEB is cheaper and you can get 2 lb at a time instead of 6 lb.
@hexane360@Blue_Mage@mavsmarie Renting a government owned space doesn’t automatically legalize every discriminatory admission policy by the renter. All they had to do was rent a private venue, or not make it very obviously Muslims only. If it was “insert race” only I would feel the same way.
@Blue_Mage@mavsmarie My understanding is the constitution is the supreme law of the land. There may not be a single clause that says “the government cant discriminate against you” but the Supreme Courts interpretation of religious discrimination is that it’s unconstitutional. Correct me if I’m wrong
@mavsmarie The city said they are in contact with them to ensure policies are being followed. Policy can sometimes conflict with law. If the state is burdened with laws that do not necessarily apply to local government and the state wants to enforce, the city doesn’t have much room to argue
@mavsmarie Just because it’s happened in the past, doesn’t change the legality of it occurring. Constitutionality and legality are separate from the peacefulness of an event.
@JonathanDemare1@GregAbbott_TX@SaraGonzalesTX Even if the event is “private” it’s a public facing event, at a facility owned by the government. You cannot rent a public facility with the intent to illegally discriminate.
@AlwaysTrustBob1@UrbanCourtyard@Bruhrilla That’s not true at all. Both Dallas and Fort Worth require trees for developments. It’s illegal to remove trees on your property above a certain size without getting proper permits.
@UrbanCourtyard@Bruhrilla That is old construction. Those buildings are likely over 100 years old or close to it. A lot of Texas infrastructure and growth was built in the past 30 years. Takes time for trees to grow.
@pmtiegs You can get an xl maverick for like 24k after discounts right now. Adjusted for inflation they’re actually cheaper than they were when they first came out.
@rawmilkhoney So many people, even Americans don’t grasp the variety we have in the US. From culture, food, climates, people. Nothing compares as a whole.
@JoeCoolei@metisundial@o_Fade2Bla4K_o@SandyofCthulhu Good Italian food in the U.S. is just as good as in Italy. Southern Italy has a heavier emphasis on seafood. They make good Italian food but the variety is nowhere near the U.S.
@smellytoast6@wfaaweather So it went from 2-4 inches of snow and 0.5 inches of ice to 1-3 inches of snow/sleet and 0.5 inches of ice. Thats not really changing the forecast that’s just refining. 99% of the outcomes in the original statement are still included.
