duty honor sacrifice

This information is important but it is really funny how 90% of the people who have this replied to them. Have seen this information before and the conversation always carries on after this information in exactly the same way

This has got to be like what feds infiltrating left orgs, feel and think about themselves

People's organic demand: ex post facto laws

This is why I find the constant left punching on this site so exhausting. Some people will do anything to avoid confronting power. Much easier to whine about some random sect with no power and no influence. Pathetic.

There isn't protest etiquette but there is acting in a way to avoid internal conflict. If you think it's a good idea to film in a space where somebody's face might get captured, you should still take as much effort at not doing that as needed to avoid causing conflict over it.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

more and more people are saying: ex post facto is good!

nothing against the poster or underlying concept but it's such a bizarre illustration of it. You try getting a free peak at a dodgers game and LAPD is locking you up in a box. Justice is tickets at a fair price, shortages handled by lottery with cheap beer and dogs.

save this for anytime your senator posts

Yes! It was a professional courtesy! They will not do this for you or anyone you know.

very unpopular opinion: i don't like it when judges write like this. I feel a very short opinion is much stronger. Include a one line banger at the end and the dryness of the rest of it will make it stand out more

Yes, this is the only way to have Justice and a system of law that has any connection to natural law. But it requires an upheaval in the "rule of law" If the "rule of law" is restored, justice will be foreclosed.

"The second amendment isn't supposed to protect you. The fascist government wants to stop you from having a gun. All the people who have guns hate you." Is what I would expect someone who wants you to buy a gun would say.

Demands for a new Nuremberg seriously lack ambition. The original prosecutions included fewer than 200 defendants, even if you count the post-IMT trials. Only 37 people were executed. Pretty much EVERYONE in the Nazi Party walked, and many remained in power.

Gives the game away that there's any sort of hearing or process to determine whether or not two people who have been convicted of sodomy are eligible for asylum. I guess it's defensible to establish whether that fact is true. But they should be per se eligible

CRASHOUT FOR THE AGES

not overhyped. big deal speech. i dont think hes going to back up the talk. All the true believers in liberalism are social democrats and he's not

great book!

all the replies are by people smug that they know what a tariff is but who don't know what tax incidence is

“But what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house."  Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

its embarrassing to have reply bots :(

AI advocates say you cant ban linear algebra bc of open source models and that each query is low impact. Propose a moratorium on training and they act like youre proposing to liquidate the kulaks. suddenly theyre police abolitionist smh

well is the counterparty my enemy? I feel like this is actually something leftists understand. We also expect to both get 15, if the counterparty is a comrade. A little bit of deal 2 (e.g. social pressure) can sometimes convince coworkers cooperate instead of defect. There are multiple iterations!

@nbcnews.com How is a completely unsubstantiated claim news? He didn't file a police report. He didn't provide evidence. He didn't even respond to a request for comment. This is @cbsnews.com behavior. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

hypermimetic exclamations do as much damage to the mind as repeat LLM usage posting a reply like "none of those words are in the bible" and "sir this is a wendy's" have the same effect as consulting with chatGPT for an hour

How is this country real? my God

There's something really funny about an institution that gave a "peace prize" to Obama, the European Union, and now a woman who campaigned for the invasion of her own country, crowing about the prize being inalienable.

A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.

"Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do." A lot of them actually couldn't! They lacked the organizational backing, money and enthusiasm.

we (the passably organized left) should do this

"inflaming" odd choice. theyre perpetrating it

People are being so s***** to this person. I don't know how Kristol became everybody's comfort conservative. Why defend a torture proponent? Why defend then by being extremely mean to a stranger on the internet?

Something must be done about the media. There are so many things to be hopeful about but the media might swamp it all.

Talented propaganda from CNN. They really squared the circle. Admin uncharacteristically good at giving quotes. Hard not to doom based on what effects it will have on elite and public opinion. If it half convinces you of their argument you might even think the plan will work.

I love this message. Something about the phrasing doesn't feel quite right though. I feel like I would rather have the "cold individualism"? There is something elevated about the line and I can't figure out what it is.

as a hater its been annoying to discover that llms can be useful, but each interaction feels insidious. its a little demon you have to bully to stop it from pretending to be your friend terrible thing to make available to the public

I’ve felt this happening to me over time, and I don’t like it.

Only a matter of time until a UC Berkeley law professor writes a memo justifying torture, a brave Vanity Fair writer gets tortured to say whether it hurts, and we have a national discussion about whether certain people should be tortured for our safety.

1) sometimes I am, but usually as a partial defense of state socialism 2) certainly not, but a bit tricky to say the leaders aren't communist. Many of the good things about China and Vietnam can be attributed to The Communist tradition 3) Communism exists as a movement, not a state of affairs

Really feel bad for these guys. hope they find peace and learn how to read

the issue with all the explanations like this is you don't just need to explain why people think the economy is bad now, you need to explain why they thought it was ~great in 2019, when most of these explanations also applied

People seem to really like quote posting anything they disagree with on this topic. But in any event, people were a lot less able to afford basic necessities during the biggest recession since the Great depression than they are now

Pretending the bourgeoisie of Menlo Park are ordinary Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa is the kind of "class blind" Right wing propaganda we've come to expect from the yimby movement

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

8/ A public service reminder: This entire exercise is an absurd, imaginary world for legal experts. That's because the truth is: It's not an armed conflict. The laws of war thus don't apply. The more restrictive rules of human rights apply. It's extrajudicial killing under that law.

This is all true but 1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law 2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.

these fuckers are all cowards. "weight of legal opinion says..." you are a u.s. senator! have an opinion. "they haven't released information..." what possible info could there be that would show that we're in a state of armed conflict with drug gangs?

Double tap strikes in Afghanistan? It's classified, we're looking into it, they could very well still be legitimate targets. U.S. "rule of law" provides a swiss cheese defense against war crimes. only in an absolute freak accident, total system failure could leadership be guilty

big failure by the grader here. they are not paid enough for this amount of work. by taking this many words they're setting themselves up as the student's equal.
