Well, it’s only constitutional this one time. Every other time, it isn’t.

MS-13 member according to which judge and jury? What exactly is he charged with? As long as we’re ditching the justice system, we the people might as well make some extrajudicial convictions too.

Oh, are we already back to the PS3 era of blooming and browning everything to death?

I’ve always been a big fan of multi-classing

More concreatures, please

Fair enough. I’m considering purchasing private satellite imagery from more high-res providers.

Edit: yowzers, minimum pricing makes any imaging worth a damn about $125. I’m pretty sure my SO would stove my head in.

Could be that CECOT is censored in bing data

This is just super fucking cool. It’s so rad they can pick out chemical signatures from the light passing through a planet’s atmosphere from a star 120 light years away. Absolutely gonzo bananas, the JWT is too cool. I will go on a personal mission to punch Donald Trump in the taint if they actually do cut the Roman telescope.

Got it, thanks

Ehhh, don’t trust LLMs to be factual, but one of the places where they actually are useful is low stakes summarizing. There’s still a risk of hallucination, but I’ve used ChatGPT is sort of “living docs” before and it probably saved me hours.

I’m sorry, tripcode?

TIL I’m a girl.

Yeah, it’s what led me to leave the faith. What I read in the NT wasn’t what was practiced in the church.

Yeah, it’s the fruit of almost a century of anti-communist propaganda.

Ehhhh… Traffic stops are more often than not excuses to fish for other, more serious violations or initiate a civil asset forfeiture. It’s actually one of the big reasons I’m hugely pro-transit and anti-car-centrism, because it robs the state of a huge excuse for initiating police contacts.

As a left libertarian, I have a hard time arguing against seatbelt laws. As in, I know they aren’t consistent with my ideology, but the outcomes of having these laws are so much better than not having them. The only thing that I can say against them is that they’re one of the more commonly used bullshit pretexts for initiating traffic stops. I rationalize this trade off and violation of ideals by pointing out that the government has created a fucked up transportation market by enforcing car centrism, and until we can unfuck that, we need to deal with the side effects.

This is a great point. I know that some pharmas actually do internally funded research, it’s a thing, it happens, but it’s completely dwarfed by shareholder giveaways and government subsidies ofc.

You’re right.

Yes, 100%.

I agree, though I will note that I have often found that there is a non-trivial gap between what is and what ought to be.
