Several ways forward here given the choice of Roberts/Barrett to nullify the 14th Amendment and extra-constitutionally replace it with their own language:

1) Nullification. States issue birth certificates, and they can just stop issuing them to non-citizens. Roberts/Barrett can deal with the fallout and litigate each birth individually.

2) Pack the court. If Robert wants to be a politician who writes laws instead of a judge, then he can fight with 10 more unelected legislators in robes.

3) Deny entry to all pregnant foreigners.

4) Deny entry to all female foreigners.

5) Require sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry.

6) Dissolution of the Union. A nation which can’t even restrict who gets to be a citizen isn’t a nation.

7) Amend the Constitution. This is pointless, because once a judge decides he can rewrite the Constitution at will (as Roberts and Barrett did today), the actual text is meaningless. But this is what most GOP politicians gravitate towards because they are useless.

If you think all these options are not great, understand that that is what happens when unelected judges decide that they are in charge of the country and get to write its laws.

@ShitlibSupreme You should try watching the video

@thesoypill engineers don't need to make a functioning data center in space, because they can't with current technology. SpaceX is desperately trying to spin a story that makes their upcoming IPO not a disaster for them. this is marketing, the Elon special, aka "massively overpromising"

@Pope_SixtusVI @allie__voss Don't bother. They're barely profitable companies that do so via extraction. They'll all crash and burn as soon as the economy goes downhill enough.

[Colby Homan @Lazaeus_C]

@RyanGeddie you should at least be concerned about the distribution of power in society, as wealth often directly grants. A growing high wealth class that can consistently grow it faster than the rest of the population and distributes it only on death to their progeny is not free.

@notsoErudite @N7Kaiba and in the end the correct choice is just to go with the crowd. if blue cant get its majority there's no incentive to press it.

3/3

[Colby Homan @Lazaeus_C]

@notsoErudite @N7Kaiba but the reflexive option reverses because it doesn't intuition pump that somehow red is at fault for killing people (if anything is at fault its the psycho god that put everyone in this scenario).

and in this case i think the predominant button choice would be red.

2/3

[Colby Homan @Lazaeus_C]

@gndwyn @MrEldenThing no, that functionally falls under "people choosing randomly" because it's an unpredictable uncontrollable element, which was covered.

if the buttons were green and orange the same shit would happen. "green is my favorite color so i picked green" etc

[Colby Homan @Lazaeus_C]

@LinkofSunshine yeah, I'm not sure i like that either, but i don't think we're improving this scenario by letting them sell their organs.

[Colby Homan @Lazaeus_C]

@TheOmniLiberal If you reframe it as "if you press the red button you live" and "if you press the blue button you die unless 50% of all participants choose blue" makes it obvious that blue is just a suicide button and the framing of the question does a lot of loading fault at red button pressers

[Colby Homan @Lazaeus_C]

@PiscoLitty @DigitalGroundG You could have framed it as "when we had this vote in the Biden admin we voted mostly in favor of Israel. It's great news that the Democratic party has changed their tune!" With the appropriate figures included.

Which is just as accurate.

[Colby Homan @Lazaeus_C]

@anarchodevilism @KnowingBetterYT So you basically want them to tweet?

[Colby Homan @Lazaeus_C]

@PiscoLitty I think is also hits their effectiveness pretty hard. The candidates will get less and less effective as no one has the time to adjust to the position and every candidate's standards drop.

@Timodc @Lauren_V_Egan Fortunately I really doubt that Hasan piker is the dem's only way to win.

@ParzivalsEgg @deathcab @michaeljburry Congrats! You've created reality!

[Colby Homan @Lazaeus_C]

@deathcab @michaeljburry How many particles do you think would be required to calculate and store the data of a single particle? Maybe 100? 1000? Just representing the position coordinates of a single particle in the universe at plank length accuracy would take 600 bits, each requiring many particles

@hutchinson @thepondering_ @ThinkingMunk But we witnessed the Biden admin fail to punish the criminal behavior of the first trump admin. Jesiah is likely extrapolating the future of the Democratic party based on the past. A Democratic party that doesn't change this aspect since the Biden admin will likely fail again.

[Colby Homan @Lazaeus_C]

@hutchinson @thepondering_ @ThinkingMunk This whole conversation (and a lot of the similar ones) feel like pent up disappointment with the last few democratic admins.

It's possible all Jessiah really wants is an admin that is bullish instead of tepid, which is the vibe we got from the 2008 crash and the trump cases
