Ok so if we expand the court to have the number of justices match the number of districts… you’re claiming that would start a civil war? With who fighting exactly? And over what? And where?

Who would raise an army to try and stop this? Who would be a willing foot soldier (besides you)?

Please, back up your bluster with something sane, something real, not just your personal nonsense. Otherwise? STFU.

Just getting to this reality as you traverse the multiverse? Because we don’t have a well balanced system, we have a system that is being stress-tested with hopes it fails — and we’re lucky it didn’t fail!

Anyway you should acquaint yourself with this reality. Because it is seemingly nothing like what you have described.

The rest of us assume you’re a supporter and collaborator because you’ve adopted the symbols of hatred. But hey life is too short amirite??

Well, I for one will absolutely start talking about it now that you have opened my eyes to the situation.

How does one square “end slavery” with AI that is creating a race of disposable people?

Your society doesn’t exist to punish the people who are part of it.

It should still be taken from then by force and doled out to the poor and hungry.

A nation that doesn’t care for itself is one incident away from revolt.

I’m pretty convinced the bots are Reddit themselves. I used to enjoy posting in-character as multiple different characters on /r/VentureBros … but I stopped years ago now. Recent visits showed them essentially re-using and recycling my comments and persona as if new. So yeah, I think its Reddit themselves.

We had a vending machine that required an app that made you buy tokens to access the food in the vending machines. Said app was a masterpiece of dark patterns. Put money in, maybe, if you're lucky, get food out. Maybe.

Ah yes because the conservative movement at the moment is so entirely beaten down and hunched in a defensive crouch because they have exactly zero power in the world right now? I mean, it isn’t like ideologues on the right own the entire media landscape or anything right? Or are in the White House, hold both houses of Congress, and have little despots in training all over the fucking planet.

But yeah, sure it happens to Conservatives at the same rate. You just won’t hear about it here because the Evil Left controls a site run by Silicon Valley. In 2026.

Really just shut the fuck up pal.

I spent 6 months working as a contractor in MS’ Chicagoland data centers. Nothing worked — phones on the walls ran Windows and did not give dial tone. Security systems unable to function because of Windows updates. Personnel more concerned with their required LinkedIn updates than their jobs. Not one FTE liked their role — everyone had a foot out the door.

When they offered to make me FTE I declined and moved on. Because it was an obvious absolute shit-show.

Sorry for those that are currently employed by MS.

I agree completely — the lack of proper professional licensing around working on what has become critical infrastructure astounds me. But even more so is the pushback I feel from within the field! It isn’t that the pushback isn’t understandable; its more that its disappointing.

So are you making the case that some % of SWE should be licensed?
