Oh, this is a good one.

Eh?
After posting these I think I need to give FLCL a second try. I didn’t really get into it the first time.

- Comment on Could the Supreme Court overturning Marbury vs Madison be a way to repeal the US Constitution? 1 week ago:
Typo. Autocorrect has been killing me lately.
- Comment on Could the Supreme Court overturning Marbury vs Madison be a way to repeal the US Constitution? 2 weeks ago:
I think there’s enough precedent at this point that everyone would still treat the Construction as law.
However, the case is also when the Supreme Court gave itself the power to override Congress by declaring laws unconstitutional. If the court overturned Marbury v. Madison the court would also be kneecapping itself by giving up one of its greatest powers.
- Comment on How come people are stupid nowadays? Especially on social media 2 weeks ago:
“Why are people so ________ these days?” drives me nuts. People have always been that way. If today’s behavior seems new and unique it’s only because it’s being presented through different social norms, fashions, or ways of communicating.
- Comment on Why are the two major American parties called what they are? 2 weeks ago:
I thought party names were sometimes unintuitive in other countries as well? From the names alone I couldn’t tell you what the Whigs or Tories stood for in the UK, or the BraIl of Hope Federation today, or the old Arrow Cross party in Hungary. It’s usually some mix of historical oddities and domestic marketing.
We could use a new Bull Moose party. It’s almost hard to imagine a platform like that winning today.
The party’s platform built on Roosevelt’s Square Deal domestic program and called for several progressive reforms, asserting that “to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day”. The platform included proposals such as restrictions on campaign finance contributions, a reduction of the tariff and the establishment of a social insurance system, an eight-hour workday and women’s suffrage.
- Comment on Rough date 3 weeks ago:
Reminds me of a first date where I arrived at the bar to find her with her friend, polishing off their second pitcher of margarita. They showed up an hour early to get absolutely smashed. The server came over and gave me a look that screamed, “Run away and don’t look back.” It was a fun date, but a very short relationship.

- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 4 weeks ago:
IDK how hourly workers do it.
In theory it should be no problem for salaried workers, though. The point of salary is that you are supposedly being paid for your work output rather than your time. I know that isn’t always the case, though.
I have been lucky. At every place I worked for the last 20-ish years the salaried employees come and go as they please. It’s normal to leave for a mid-day appointment and then come back to the office. All that matters is shit gets done in a timely manner and we’re available when people need us. I wish everyone had that level of flexibility.

Pardon my ignorance, but are you talking about liberation theology? Or does “Christian liberationist” mean something else?

- Comment on Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution? 4 months ago:
Do most Americans give the French shit? I think most Americans don’t care one way or another TBH. Our country is famously self-centered and unaware of the rest of the world.
I do give my French friend a hard time sometimes, but it’s all in good fun. He does the same to me. I certainly do not look down upon him or his country.
The minority of Americans who do sincerely talk down about the French are ignorant and shitty, though.

“I’d never done a crazy thing in my life before that night. Why is it that if a man kills another man in battle, it’s called heroic, yet if he kills a man in the heat of passion, it’s called murder?”

- Comment on Why do pro athelets get paid millions upon millions of dollars but will be taken off field for something minor? My coach always said walk it off or tough it out. How come its not the same in leagues? 6 months ago:
Playing through small injuries leads to larger injuries. If your coach were paying you thousands or millions of dollars per game, they would not want you to wreck yourself and end up missing games.
