To be fair I think a truly smart dictator would find a way to not be a dictator as quickly as possible. I think those who find themselves in that situation realize or feel that they’re cooked if they try to retire.

I’m not a legal expert but have spent quite some time studying Supreme Court cases in school.. a good example of how this convoluted system works would be the famous Brown v. Board of Education.

The “separate but equal” ruling found in the previous Plessy v. Ferguson case was used by States to write laws making legal segregated education facilities provided that the facilities were “equal”. Surprise, they weren’t. In the new case, this “separate but equal” ruling was found to be inherently “unequal” and in violation of the first clause of the 14th amendment:

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The court demanded that all States desegregate as quickly as possible. 10 years after the ruling some States still hadn’t enforced this decision and were given a second order by the court. I can make quite a compelling argument that there is still segregation to this day.

The will of the people goes through the legislators and the States write their own rules to best serve whoever had the power to elect their officials. The constitution itself outlines some excellent ideals by which the country should be organizing itself and treating its people, however it isn’t up to the courts to enforce these ideals but the States, the Federal government, and the people themselves, and that’s where the issue is. The US system works extremely slowly and eventually it gets around to doing the right thing. Sadly, this means that in the meantime many suffer needlessly while their neighbors are still learning how to be good people. The best thing to do is still to talk with and teach our neighbors how to be good and fair people. Most people have no clue what is actually written in the constitution. Much to the joy of certain legislators I’m sure.

In many ways the Supreme Court is less powerful than the other branches. Ultimately the court’s role is to interpret the constitution and decide whether a statute or law is in disagreement with the constitution. This court generally decides on whether something is unconstitutional or not when a suit is brought forth. Additionally, the legislature may amend the constitution and change the rules by which the Supreme Court judges the cases brought before it. To make things a little more complicated, a State may choose to ignore a federal law or Supreme Court decision.

Not to say that there isn’t a danger in having an ideological extremist Supreme Court, but a life appointment and a rather narrow judicial scope typically means an appointed justice may tell any politician, the president included, to go **** themselves with no political repercussions. At that point the justices are no longer playing the “game” but instead involved with the more important work of immortalizing their opinions on and setting precedent for the interpretation of constitutional law. It may do people well to remember that although the Chief Justice is conservative, his political ideology has had mostly little bearing on his opinions and rulings.

All of that said, the court has made some blunders in the past even with a 4 vs 4 and a swing vote that could go either way, looking at you federal reserve, and it would be foolish to expect them not to blunder again in the future, regardless of the justices’ upbringing. Just because the best the current president can offer to the Republican Party at this point is nominating conservative Supreme Court judges does not mean that that is indeed the most important thing a president could do.

This is cursed

Lmao. Loaded 1.5. Excited to try it out. Alright feels a bit different but it’s good. Block overhead from 2hr. 50dmg crushthrough. I legit want to meet the people playtesting this who thought it was good.

Also my guy has never drawn a bow in his life.

I’m scrub but maybe a release schedule that works for debian shouldn’t be used for an ea video game. Just saying

I’ve been inadvertently disconnected before (power outage, potato computer, crash, etc) with no way to reconnect to the old match. It would be really nice to at least have the option to reconnect to the match if not going as far as forcing reconnect to the old match or taking a cool down period for quitting.

It is in fact illegal for public schools in the United States to compel students to participate in religious worship or practices. It has also been upheld in the US Supreme Court that teacher-led prayers cannot be held in public schools because it is either exclusionary to non-participating students or marginalizing to those that do participate (depending on how it is presented). In the US, there are public and private schools, and some private schools are religious schools. This definitely happens in religious schools and is legal there, but it would become an ethics dispute if a public school attempted it. I think the closest I got to any forced religious exposure in my time at school was visiting the Washington National Cathedral, but that is also a place of architectural & historic significance in the US because some important individuals are buried there, like Woodrow Wilson (a former president) and Helen Keller. It was part of a voluntary trip to the capital, a relatively short part of the visit, and a service at the cathedral was not part of it.

Grew up in the states. Went to public school all my life. In kindergarten our teachers took us on a field trip to a catholic church without indicating they would be taking kids to a church on the permission slip and sat us all down in pews and had someone come out and say a few words which I don't remember. During other periods of schooling, we were taken on field trips to missions, which are also churches, and has actual historical value and was conducted in a completely different context as opposed to the catholic church during kindergarten. Personally, I didn't mind it since I didn't see any religious indoctrination and thought it was a just a cool experience. You best believe we were never taken to any other type of place of worship, e.g. jehovah, latter day, protestant, jewish, hindu, muslim, etc.

Perhaps to give a little insight into the situation in Turkish mosques, although I can't see the picture and I'm not exactly sure about the rest of the context... it is forbidden for any tourists to enter any mosque without first being properly covered and robes or scarves are provided if they are wearing shorts, tanktops, etc. It probably has a lot less to do with 'indoctrinating' students than it does with showing 'respect' to the tradition of how people have been entering these places for 1000s of years and that is with covered knees, elbows, and womens' hair. Under no circumstances would any of the viewers be taught any religious dogma, prayers, or whatever, as that would go completely against the nature of islam, and in fact, out of respect for worshippers, I'd be pretty certain that they wouldn't even be allowed to view the prayers. Although it wouldn't surprise me if things are slightly different nowadays. Personally, I would like to see the same type of activity where turkish kids would be taken on a field trip to a church but maybe that step will hopefully come in the near future. I'm not sure about american kids today but I really can't imagine that any of them are being taken to mosques and at any rate religious homegenity in turkey far surpasses that of the united states so it's a completely different sort of deal.

Edit: just saw the picture. Holy cow the optics of that are pretty terrible. I can definitely see the kids being preached at there and it seems it goes way beyond polite covering up. Their T-shirts are saying something to the effect of “the apple of my eye is prayer”.

I know. Look, I get it. It’s nice to circlejerk reddit and the whole internet points and troll bot world we live in. I too reject the perception is reality notion. We still have the grapevine and pitchforks though. Mob mentality isn’t restricted to the internet, the internet amplifies it. For what it’s worth, I think generally people try to do the right thing, and right or wrong, when they don’t know any better, they look to what they believe most others are thinking.

Nice.

To be fair, people’s brains are what stop good discourse, not the like or dislike button.

Fair point. So in other words, unless TW has a specific vision in mind, player feedback is just going to slow them down.
Which is essentially the same position as Star Citizen right now.

Sort of. I believe that they should be coming to the same conclusions as player criticisms. Trying to parse through player input could be problematic but that’s just my assumption. Adding features is sort of a separate deal and if that is their goal, like I’m led to believe it is in star citizen, then yeah for sure it would slow them down.

A dumb joke I had in mind for a while is “a post a day keeps an update away” ha

Ugh surveys. I gotta be either really pissed or paid to fill one out. I think it’s also really difficult to have creative endeavors driven by democratic vote. Like a poll on bumpcouching is meaningless if the vision to implement good mechanics isn’t there to begin with. Also trying to sort through a deluge of surveys leads to practices like some of this minority report **** we’re living in.

Last survey I filled out was raging at quora for locking content behind an app download after I already signed up for an account to unlock content. Like all my cookies and email weren’t enough they also want to snoop on my phone just so I can see what joe blow said about some random piece of trivia. That place is infested with literal bots and I wholeheartedly regret giving them a single piece my data those miserable bottom feeding scum.

@Adorno Fair. I sometimes hyperbole when making my points so we might not be in actual disagreement...

Anarion 说:

but I feel like even if it is true it will still be alienating people from identifying with this struggle. Not least because moralism gets intertwined with this theory which I think is the cause of what some people call the "oppression olympics"; being part of an oppressed identity group gives what you say more weight.

点击展开...

Not only is it the whole idea of the oppression olympics but many of the people who experience prejudice just want to be treated like normal. I'll never forget a black girl from my classes wanted so badly to get into a normal university or state college. She was so disappointed to get into a historical black college. I'm sure she had a great experience there but she wanted to be seen as a person first and was sick of being taught about all of the prejudice that comes not only from her appearance but also her gender... I ****ed up really bad with her after saying a phrase like 'it's good you're studying <insert field> it definitely needs more girls in it' like the look on her face was pure disappointment...

I feel like an ******* for talking about men's issues in a thread about feminism, I'm not trying to hijack the topic but it's impossible to talk about feminism without bringing up how prejudice works or men's issues...

get the popcorn ready boisssss

To be clear, it is a belief I have that suicide statistics for men globally are not entirely accurately categorized and that is something for which accurate statistics can't exist. Otherwise I would've said it's a fact. Maybe this has to do with coming from the Nirvana and Kurt Cobain generation... The takeaway should be that it's violence perpetrated on men but society seems to care less because it's just taken for granted that men kill themselves more without question and anyways it's still men perpetrating the violence right? Women could absolutely have no hand in it. What a perfect perception for murderers. That doesn't detract from anything else I've said but for some reason it has spawned a flurry of posts focusing on that 1 sentence out of the other 4 I've written. But to humor you here you go:

Anarion’s reply is a good way to further the discussion instead of bogging it down but I don’t mind a little scrutiny to fact check. I do mind an attempt to pick apart someone’s arguments and credibility.

To Anarion’s point. Feminism as a movement is trying to evolve to include men’s rights in its movement. But I take issue with it since I’ve seen evidence that in practice it takes a women first approach. Some pretty major messaging campaigns will have occur to change the public perception of the label “feminist” especially in the post “mansplaining” era.

For real, just reading about how scholars are struggling with the ideas of inclusivity and privilege in their day to day almost drives me up a wall because it all sounds so stupid to me.

cute. if you read my post with the any amount of actual scrutiny you wouldn't be asking these questions. did you read my post or only evelyn's quote? you can google 'suspicious suicide statistics' urself then ask me if it's made up.

Sigh. Yeah it’s so ****ing hard for a group of men to throw someone out a window. Do you also believe most disappearances are people just deciding to take a walk to the Himalayas and build a brand new life with a new lover or something?

What’s on the death certificate is what the coroner can find evidence for, not always necessarily what happened. Off topic regardless and it’s a small point made contentious out of the numerous other things I’ve said. There’s nothing I’ve said anywhere that points to how research should be conducted but if you can find something please share it.
