  • How long will it take to vote in an amendment that updates the connector?

    Depends on what corporations and countries are backing it probably.

    I thoroughly agree the connector insanity was a pain in the ass (though, being a hoarder of cables it made me a sort of superhero) but I just really dislike governments dictating this kind of thing.

  • A trained, voluntary militia is the only way to have ethical defense that can't be abused. Maybe we don't get there, but having the goal be more militia vs standing army can be worked out.

    The world won't always be the same and we should plan for more liberty oriented and equitable outcomes instead of dismissing them out of hand because we don't think they're pragmatic today.

  • To be fair, I engaged with that portion by pointing out I don't actually believe in standing armies. So defense spending should be close to zero. But, yeah, everyone wants their pork and defense spending is free money to them.

  • I didn't call it a lie because I don't think it's an issue of will or intent, so I didn't mean it to be insulting. I see where you're coming from otherwise, but this isn't a comment made from nowhere. This is a common talking point people try to use and I genuinely think it reinforces the trope.

    I don't think it's disingenuous at all. Whether it's for a single mother or a pensioner it's certainly not being used for useless bases or bombs.

    I don't believe we can solve problems if we don't understand them and our lack of understanding is disastrous when it comes to voting.

  • Why are those the only two options? If we're free to organize ourselves and our communities how we want we could work out all sorts of innovative ways to make life suck less instead of one size fits all. Especially when that one size has a habit of impacting marginalized people more.

    The Thought Emporium

    Technology Connections

    The first two are people doing things at home that shouldn't be possible without a uni lab.

    Connections does really thorough deep dives into every day tech we use.

  • Look at the budget. Most of our federal spending goes back to citizens. Welfare, medicaid, medicare, social security. My point is what they said is a lie and it's an easy lie to fact check.

    How should we expect to win arguments against military spending when the first line out of our mouths is a lie?

  • The majority of the federal budget goes to welfare and entitlements. I'm on the "no standing army" side of things, but it doesn't help to propagate incorrect information.

    Edit: this is absurd. There's no opinion here: the comment I replied to is factually wrong. You can't dislike facts until they're not true.

  • I agree with you on timeframe, but we don't really have data that shows a need to limit abortion really so it seems kind of moot. As it turns out, carrying a fetus for 9 months and then merking it at the last minute isn't a thing women do, and certainly not intentionally.
