Flying_Crab posted:I don’t hate this idea. Small military branch (possibly a third strictly National Guard aligned branch for Title 32 v. Title 10 reasons?) fully under UCMJ that handles armed LE stuff only to the extent absolutely necessary such as violent felonies, active shooter situations, major event security, etc. but does not respond to calls that don’t ordinarily require an armed response. The FBI can stay in their current investigative/CI role. All other normal state/local LE duties are replaced by social/medical workers, parking checkers or unarmed state investigators. etc. Yes, a nationally empowered locally operating police force under direct control of the president. This is a wonderful idea.

fknlo posted:It's the people that won't shut the gently caress up about guns and base their entire identity around them that have zero issue with the police gunning down someone that might plausibly be armed and will use it as justification for the execution. They know it's not going to happen to them and they cheer it on. Now, that I buy. "The second amendment crowd" includes a whole lot of non-conservatives now, and gun ownership expanded quite a bit over the past four years well beyond ^them. Edit: I'm good with moving on.

It's this, friendo: Acebuckeye13 posted:I think that there's a lot of people that use "capitalism" as a critique of a lot of stuff that is really more the result of greed and shortsightedness, which are traits that go back to the dawn of human history. Capitalist economic systems obviously and openly reward greed and shortsightedness, but it's far from an exclusive feature of that system, and in other systems those traits often simply manifest in different ways.

boop the snoot posted:I’m saying that who cares when bribery and corruption were *~*founded*~* when capitalism has been a firehose of gasoline on the corruption fire. I don’t give a poo poo that in the 1600s the guy with the most oxen had the most power because I live in 2021, under capitalism. My argument was that he made a bad post. I'm not surprised you're here to defend it. If you want to fix a problem it helps to understand the problem. "lol capitalism sux" isn't a solution, nor is abolition of capitalism. It might solve some problems, but the biggest ones will just shift into some other slightly different form because capitalism isn't the root of the problem...it's a system that evolved to take advantage of extant circumstances, and that is not loving pedantry.

I just like that you inherently have to make a case to impeach. I know most republican voters won't care that their case is bullshit if they were to impeach a liberal justice. But at least they'll look like morons trying to make it. And maybe it would fire up democrats to vote them out. Nah, I completely agree with you. It's one more step down a really lovely path with no actually good options.

GoGoGadget posted:Lincoln packed the Supreme Court, didn't he? Didn't cause an unending downward spiral then, why would it now? Lincoln packed the court in that he filled several vacancies. He didn't increase its size by 50% to dilute the opposition's power. Back then SC justices also held court in their "home" circuits (which they were gradually weaned away from over the next half century until the District Court system was established in the early 20th century). FDR wanted to add seats, but it didn't work out.

In college I knew a fruitarian. Weird motherfucker, not particularly useful in class. When asked how he was still alive, the answer was "I have to take a lot of supplements." Edit: He was one of these: "Some fruitarians will eat only what falls (or would fall) naturally from a plant: that is, plant foods that can be harvested without killing or harming the plant."

Volkova III posted:We understand it just fine, thank you. What fucks us up as children is being told that we're just confused, and being denied information. If I understood that transitioning was an option, I would have done it then, and I would have fought like hell until I got to, instead of having to do it fifteen years after the irreparable damage done to my body by going through the wrong puberty. Maybe attacking someone expressing interest in continuing to learn about something and making a baseless accusation isn't the best way to have a constructive dialogue and win people onto the side of moving this issue in the right direction.

Midjack posted:It would bring it into the daylight at least. It's happening at all levels and part of the reason a bunch of nasty poo poo gets used is because it's not screened for. If it was permissible then there would be incentive to use safer stuff so you'd have a longer and more lucrative career. We've already proven that prohibition doesn't work, why keep pretending it does? Because the bold part isn't going to solve the problem...people will use whatever they feel they need to, ignore any advice that gets in the way, etc. Look at Cam Newton returning WAY earlier than he should've after covid knocked him on his rear end (or any of the other athletes who returned too early after injury/illness). Lawrence Taylor was on cocaine for almost every game of his career, certainly there were less risky options available. McGuire and Sosa were household names before they juiced to the moon to chase the HR record.

I won't have a chance to use it for a couple of months anyway (I live in a city with a fuckton of light pollution, and my camping truck isn't close to ready). But I should probably start researching so I can narrow it down to a few options or features.

I live near DC and do astrophotography and it's mostly fine. Planets are visible just about anywhere (horizon is usually the issue) and of course the Moon is doable regardless. Well, that's a thread I didn't know about, thanks! I want to look at everything, and Las Vegas is just hazy and bright.
