  Also a very important point here was how much more non-political the supreme court was then. No one would ever consider Roe vs Wade could be overturned or even want it. There were generally agreed upon rules that the supreme courts and courts in general were populated with the most qualified people. Judge appointments were scrapped by gentleman agreements if the Senator from the state where the judge was from didn't support the nomination. Same if any of the non-partisan law associations said the person wasn't qualified enough. So most judges were well qualified and if they were more conservative or liberal wasn't as big of a consideration. There were plenty of "conservative" judges appointed judges nominated by democratic and vice versa. This all change with Mitch McConnell blocking Merrick Garland appointment to the supreme court who was suggested as the more moderate alternative. This lead to the hyper partisanship of the supreme court we see now with the trump appointees. This is why trust in the organization has eroded so fast. Since it all happened so fast and judges are acting much more politically instead of following law and precedent

  Yes the mass will change. It's a part of some Sci Fi tropes that for highly populated planets that the same mass of people coming on just match those coming off. Or else the planet will shrink or grow

  Battery power and transferring power across the entire nation. When is sunny one place it's not sunny elsewhere. As things get connected together this is useful. We can all use cheap as free electricity

  This is a good point. They aren't just afraid of queer sexualities but all sexuality. The old sodomy laws made it illegal to receive or receive oral sex. This will affect everyone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I like women but I also like cock but I'm not otherwise attracted to the male body at all. Wtf is my sexual orientation?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Its quite common for some straight men to only be attracted to penises. All men generally have an dying love for their own penis so it make sense that it spreads to some other penises. But here is the things about labels you can really pick whatever you want. You can call yourself bi or straight or whatever label you want.

  I never understood the appeal of buying digital with DRM. It's just a more expensive "rent" tied to a service.
