Habeas corpus doesn’t prevent illegal imprisonment, it’s only a procedure to (eventually) free people after the fact. That procedure is still in place, it just takes a lot of time. Habeas corpus was used successfully to free Rümeysa Öztürk (detained for writing an op-ed). But many others are still detained because the process is slow and the DOJ is deliberately obstructing everything.
My body is an autonomous collective. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical biological ceremony.

I asked ChatGPT and it says he still needs his glasses while not in costume. So that settles this debate.

Why do I always feel like I need a PhD to understand even the first paragraph of Wikipedia articles about math. Is that just me?
But the whole point of the doomsday machine is lost… if you keep it a secret! Why didn’t you tell the world, eh?
NASA still foots the bill either way. In this arrangement, the cost of development is simply included in the price of the product plus a fixed profit margin. Such ‘cost-plus’ contracts are criticized because it eliminates competing for efficiency and incentivises contractors to make their solutions as complicated and expensive as possible.
if we take it as true that light speed is the same in every direction
This is the crucial assumption, that to my knowledge hasn’t been proven or disproven. Because the alternative, light goes faster in one particular direction, is also perfectly consistent with everything. And if you’re moving atomic clocks, correcting for time dilations requires you to make assumptions about the one-way speed of light (which we only know from measuring roundtrip times)
That’s just shifting the problem. There is no known way to reliably sync remote clocks except by sending packets and assuming the round-trip time is symmetrical. This is a known problem in physics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light
That would be a great follow-up joke.
Now if she chooses the dirty pickup line, you respond with “girl, are you a viking steel crucible? 'Cause I’d put a bone in you.”
So what is the reason for doing it that way?
And you think that’s going to happen by removing the trashcans?
As long as it’s not an exit node, nobody will be able to tell what the traffic is. It’s all encrypted including the metadata.
Because it was never about the deficit, you dummies. It’s a convenient lie to settle personal grievances and dismantle the regulators that are going after Trump and his crime partners. https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/27/beltway-bandits/#henhouse-foxes
As someone who knows nothing about entomology, it reminded me of this one beetle with a comically large pointy bit. I think it’s called a hercules beetle.
That fact that you think “idealistic version of early US” is a compliment is very telling.
Your proposal is just an idealistic version of early US. You claim that corruption is fundamentally impossible, but assume that magically “the monarchs aren’t allowed to own property” without regard to enforcement. You claim to have an alternative to democracy but still propose majority voting on replacing rulers and constitutions. You simply assume that monarchs will keep each other in check and not devolve into the conspiring, warmongering tyrants that history is full of.
Power can always be abused to get more power and go against all your original ideals. The only way to definitely prevent corruption is to ensure power is never concentrated in the hands of few.
Did you know you can criticize people without making weird conjectures about their sex life?
I think they mean uPnP
You’re right of course. Habeas corpus alone isn’t enough to stop all of this, particularly against an administration that is blatantly undermining the courts.
