  • Fighting words

    Jump

  • Post-Chaplinsky

    The Court has continued to uphold the doctrine but also steadily narrowed the grounds on which fighting words are held to apply.

    Not a lawyer, but the subsequent cases seem to limit the doctrine so much that it hasn't really been upheld at all. Basically now you can't be charged with assault if both parties literally agree to fight. Everything else sure seems to be covered as free speech.

  • Unpopular opinion of the day: "The Force" isn't any more magic than Betazoid telepathy, replicators, or transporters.

  • In order to be allowed to drive, you don't just have to promise to pay if you hit someone, you have to pay in advance in case you hit someone

    Jump

  • True. No argument there.

  • Whatever you pay in insurance is unlikely to cover the damages won by an injured party. That money is coming out of the pockets of people who will never cause an injury.

    Good drivers subsidize the assholes.

  • LinkedIn homepage swaps the "sign in" and "create account" buttons depending on whether you're a new or returning visitor

    Jump

  • Sign, sign, everywhere a sign. Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind.

  • CoPilot is a good feature and will be built into every major desktop OS

    Jump

  • retrieve information(that doesnt need to be correct).

    Perhaps I'm just one of "the olds" who doesn't get modern technology, and this is why I'm having a real difficult time imagining why I, or anyone, would ever spend time looking something up when the factual correctness is optional to begin with.

  • And it was dated more than two weeks ago. Such a predictable man-child.

    Found this in an electrical box. What is this thing?

  • Just be careful plugging in unknown devices.

  • The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.

    Jump

  • The lid always goes down when not in use at my house.

    "It's a shit receptacle, not a water feature" has been repeated to anyone who doesn't know the rule.

  • What would happen to a werewolf in space?

    Jump

  • The ISS orbits at about 400km. The distance to the moon is about 385,000km. From the moon, and especially the sun, the Earth and ISS are basically in the same place, so the phase of the moon doesn't appreciably change in low earth orbit.

    A werewolf on Europa (and others) could be in a full moon much more often. Even on the side facing away from the sun, it may still have plenty of light due to the reflection from Jupiter.

    Maybe they would have to hide away from society once per month whenever they turn into a human monster?

  • And Mortal Kombat hit consoles in 1993, so the big, controversial hits weren't limited to PCs in the early 90s.

    why are so many alpha males talking about "male gays"? what is it? how do i improve my "male gays"? is it a good thing? why would they be interested in this stuff? isn't it contradictory to their ideo

    Jump

  • LPT: it's safe to tune out and ignore anything from unironically self-described "alpha (anything)."

    Musk’s DOGE Failed To Slash Government Spending, Instead Leading To A 6% Increase

  • It's still relevant to make it as big a story as possible, since that was the stated goal, we should yell from the rooftops how badly they failed according to their own metrics.

  • Whats the worst baby name?

    Jump

  • I also know a Tad. It's not some cringe 2000s kid, either, this guy has to be 70 or thereabouts.

  • Do you think that everyone have a "mask" that they use to show a different "self" to different people and that hides their true self, a truth they don't even show to their closest friends/family?

    Jump

  • I've always thought of it like a d20. For every role we occupy, we show a different facet on top. Some facets remain visible despite not being the "dominant" one, but others are hidden on the other side.

    No single face is our "true self" but they are all a part of who we are.
