Shear Modulus posted:It's a good thing we made a bunch of unaccountable judges the country's supreme ruling body Hamilton, Federalist 78 posted:But it is not with a view to infractions of the Constitution only, that the independence of the judges may be an essential safeguard against the effects of occasional ill humors in the society. These sometimes extend no farther than to the injury of the private rights of particular classes of citizens, by unjust and partial laws. Here also the firmness of the judicial magistracy is of vast importance in mitigating the severity and confining the operation of such laws. It not only serves to moderate the immediate mischiefs of those which may have been passed

i once went to small claims over a car crash. some guy t boned me outside community college 9999 yrs ago and sued me for the max. for some strange reason my insurance company agreed with my plan to counter sue for the max also and theyd foot the bill. it was small claims so i represented myself amnd was like 20 years old. the judge thought it was really hosed up and pretty funny and awarded us both the full 10k so we just gave eachother 10k. well he gave me his real 10k and my insurance company gave him 10k. it got deposited into my bank account which i wired to the insurance company. it was really weird. my mom drove me to court. it was cool. the judge asked me if i wanted ot be a lawyer when i grew up. lmfao. anyways that was a long time ago. the guy also came to court with a walker and neck brace, neither of which he needed since he wasnt injured at all.

Shear Modulus posted:it's always great how the federalist papers, which in high school history class were mentioned in reverential tones like they were the loving pauline epistles but what they actually are is just james madison talking about how the constitution is awesome because every part of it is rigged so that the public can never actually control the government but we can still pretend it's democratic theyre amazing and very funny. also the bill of rights was added kuz the anti feds were literally just concern trolling about it to prevent the constitution from getting ratified. fed 84 is one of the most famous but nobody every quotes the literal entire back half of it where hamilton just goes off on a deranged rant about taxes. also he contradicts himself insanely hard. he says well we have common law so we dont need a bill of rights. but then again u can just override regular laws if you want? also blackstone made this big compendium of all british common laws which we, geniuses in new york, imported wholesale into our state consitition like a programming library so no need for this. but then again.... what good are parchment barriers against a tyrant? hmm?? anyways, ...

Leroy Diplowski posted:If you boil them for like 5 minutes before baking then they will cook in the same amount of time as sweet potatoes so you can do a yam-potato medley and have them all cooked to perfection. Top with a couple of fried eggs, green onions, and some Sriracha and you have a reason to get up in the morning. this sounds bomb

i think we have to understand that some level of private, closed motorized transport is required. my parents for example live at the top of a steep rear end hill and are 80 years old, etc, blah blah. the thing is, evs obviously dont work for the litany of problems already posted. charger availability, whole lifecycle costs, etc. but - evs can work. the twist is they arent as conceived today. the car as we know it is derived from the car as "co-evolved" along with america, which in 1900 was largely rural and so the car grew from this. we can shed this lineage to better serve urban mobility needs. beyond the train, beyond the bus, beyond the bicycle and the other microbility is mediummobility, tracing its lineage back the to 3 and 4 wheel "motorized rickshaw" and it looks like this: in china they call them mini-evs. in the usa we call them low speed vehicles, lsv. the golf cart, my friends... the golf cart awaits. for those who cant take the bus or ride a bike, for those who live just a little too far, for those where the rails have not yet been laid, the golf car shall be their chariot.

its interesting. im not sure what political theorist would be best to search for the answers as to why esoteric, private sites like SA endure and large ventures like Reddit and Imgur have their death warrants signed at inception. looking back in 50 years it may very well be Lowtax. i cant think of a relevent locke quote nor any other enlightenment thinker, including the founders who spoke a lot on property and such. would be an interesting subject to investigate. maybe one of the many phil phds on the forums can help

DancingShade posted:SA never borrowed millions, billions or even trillions from venture capital promising rapid growth now with big returns in future, while simultaneously never having a business model ever capable of delivering on those returns. acutely correct and of course agreed, but i wonder if there is a broader ethos, philosophical through line that has been explored, or can be explored and applied

captainbananas posted:Hell yeah that'd be great. Some kind of science of it all. Grounded in materialism, of course. And it's all cyclical and self-referencing, so there'd be some kind of dialectic involved. no need to be reductive, we can assume everyone here is reasonably versed in fundamental marxism. fed 10 talks about faction, 55 about things not being too big nor small. adorno and horkheimer talk about capitalism as crushing culture. the ebbs and flows of the modern internet invites broad analysis and interdisciplinary examination. i guess. im sure there is a good kant pullquote also but i dont know which one. idk!!

Zodium posted:at their core, reddit and imgur and all the other fail social media sites revolve around runaway positive feedback processes where attention begets more attention, which both inevitably turns them into social goo and materially demands ever more hardware and power to sustain. their attempt to build for scalability is what dooms them. sa is robust against this because when a positive feedback process starts, which they clearly do, goons run things into the ground, and because you have to read every post in chronological order or just skip ahead, the process organically terminates. this is of course viewed at the highest macro level, in practice the process is full of complex interactions between earnest goobers and trolls and white noise posters who together comprise the wonderful posting ecosystem of the best website on the internet. on the flipside, this can only scale so far. there could never be a reddit or facebook-scale sa. agree. then we should consider is the better, or perhaps best internet, comprised solely of many SAs? is there any sort of federation, or have we just reinvented reddit? is in fact the separation the key to endurance and harmony? is the interlinking the culprit? or? alternatively, is the internet of 99 supreme, of individual websites on small private webhosts, best? what is the best internet? at its inception SA wasn't meaningfully differentiated from any other PHPBB forum, but we are here. What is it that distinguished us from stardestroyer.net, reddit, and luelinks? size? paywall? is paywall merely a contributor to size and irrelevant in and of itself? is the generally (misanthropic?) monoculture the secret sauce? or it is merely the monetization model, the resistance to capitalist forces, that matters. what is the intersection of frankfurt school culture concerns and marxist materialist concerns that gives SA its edge i have long posited that a major contributor to SAs indomitable durability is how insanely conservative it is. things move very slowly here, administratively. hume had a lot of problems and was dumb as poo poo but his theory that authority and stability are principally derived from time and repetition i think has merit. this of course pisses off users who want to enact change and reform quickly, but imo it has helped the site survive the turbulent waters of internet discourse, and, err, ugh, zeitgeist.
