Special counsel Jack Smith drops election subversion case against Donald Trump
  • SCOTUS has already started ignoring things like standing. I mentioned that the main check on SCOTUS is the legislature. I don't think Congress can get its shit together long enough to effect any real check. Last term they could barely elect a speaker and this term they have even slimmer majorities. Unless the midterms are a historically large blue wave, it's not going to matter. If a handful of defectors can kill the change, it's not happening.

  • Special counsel Jack Smith drops election subversion case against Donald Trump
  • SCOTUS has the final say on what the Constitution should mean right now. They can decide however they want. The only remedies are through the legislature (impeachment, constitutional amendments, increasing the size of the court). But if they decide something, that's the law of the land even if it's blatantly wrong.

  • What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of?
  • It would be pretty crappy to never give a description of a painting to a blind person though. Like could you imagine if we never described the Mona Lisa to a blind person and they just to guess what it was a picture of.

  • It has nothing to do with your right to work
  • They are two distinct things. Right to work is the right to work without being required to pay anything to a union. At will employment is the ability to fire you for any reason as long as it isn't a reason related to be a protected class.

  • Why are we trying to give up everything that makes us human by offloading it to a machine

    Because we don't enjoy actually doing it. No one who likes writing is asking chat gpt to write for them. It's people who don't want to write but are required to for whatever reason. Humans will always try to come up with a way to not have to do the work they don't want to but still get it done, even if it's not as good. Using tools like this is very human.

  • gen z gorillas
  • Maybe the people complaining drown out everyone else. But people like David Hogg and Greta Thunberg are Gen Z and out doing more than most to fix the problems they see. Like maybe people complain that Gen Z has no idea what files on a computer are, but that seems like a different thing than helplessness.

  • Sorry
  • If the point isn't to misgender him, then call him first gentleman. First lady is misgendering him. It feels justified and extra effective because of his transphobia. But it isn't about misogyny.

  • Have you ever ghosted somebody?
  • If I’m giving off the wrong vibe, I’d like to know so I can correct it.

    Even if you're not ghosted, you're very unlikely to get this information. Usually it's just that they're not interested and not the why behind it. And begging for the why is typically not productive. The only thing not ghosting gets you is knowing it's a deliberate choice and not that they, like, broke their phone for weeks or fell into a coma or something else unlikely that prevented them talking to you.
