Justice Amy Coney Barrett says ethics rules for the Supreme Court would be a 'good idea'

  • She's lying, of course. If she gave a rat's ass about the legitimacy of SCOTUS she wouldn't have accepted nomination in the first place.

  • I keep seeing small scale UBI experiments 'proving' that recipients thrive more. But as I see it that's not the part that needs proving.

    • No, thank you

    No.

    This is the tricky part. Any realistic solution can't just gloss over it.

  • My headcanon is that Q shifted Picard to an alternate quantum reality. Like what happened to Worf that one time.

  • Walked in on a guy who was just sitting there. I immediately knew but completely denied it for about 10 minutes. "He's just pining for the fjords."

    • Atheism is fine. Antitheism is bigotry.

  • I did spend a few years managing a retirement community, and a few more managing subsidized housing where opioid overdoses were the leading cause. So my stats are probably higher than the average.

  • The point is that involuntary characteristics are the ones that can't be used legitimately. Voluntary characteristics can be.

  • External pressures, community, etc. also factor in to membership in groups like the KKK. Should we not judge racists for being racist?

    Everybody’s job is voluntary as well, would you not say that glosses over reality?

    Not in the context of judging their character on the basis of their chosen employment, no. For example, a slaver deserves to be judged harshly for choosing to be a slaver.

    Best: Free rent and utilities on top of a full time wage.

    Worst: Finding people dead.

  • It's voluntary because people choose to believe it.

    In fact, for many religions that conscious decision is a necessary step. Christians, for example, teach that only those who accept Jesus Christ can be saved.

  • Robot Monster is the epitome of a 50's low budget B-class horror movie.

  • While I don't hold out any hope for it, a splintering of one of the two parties would likely be a good thing regardless. We need more viable parties.
