"Thou calledst me dog before thou hadst a cause. But since I am a dog, beware my fangs."


The house-elves could have been an interesting discussion; what obligation do we have to beings that are as sapient as humans, but aren't human, and have very different preferences to humans?

the implications of this tech would suggest we can ALSO psychologically tweak people to be completely content with their current identity.






What if we could engineer people to feel 100% straight, have no doubt about their biological gender, and no curiosity about experiencing what the other genders were like, and they were about as non-dysphoric as you could get?




The problem with opening that can of worms is that one then invites "What if we could engineer people to not need work-life balance?"/"What if we could engineer people to not find it degrading to 小便 in bottles rather than needing bathroom breaks?"/"What if we could engineer people to be content eating bugs/living in a pod/owning nothing?"/insert whatever you fear your outgroup imposing on people.


That's why I oppose it.

important shared experience that connects all women for having been oppressed by the patriarchy as girls




I think this proves too much: would radical feminists consider someone born with female parts in a non-patriarchal society to be a woman?

That the appraised and assessed values of Trump properties are not the same thing?




For those of us who are unfamiliar with real-estate finance, can you explain the difference between them and how it applies to this case? They both sound like they mean 'How much is this building/land worth?', but if there is a legitimate difference between them....

The size of the Supreme Court shall be permanently fixed at 9 members.




I think 13 would be better. Not for political reasons, but because 13 original colonies.




The House of Representatives must conduct its business in a way that allows members to participate without being present in the chamber.




They should've done this after 9/11.




Congress may designate property within the current district to remain federal enclaves




If that were extended to the original district, the Pentagon would be eligible....

That worked well enough in 1789, pre-telegraphs/railroads/steamships. A 20th/21st century economy is far wider in geographical scope, thus companies can more easily threaten to take jobs/tax revenue elsewhere. In order for a state government to have the option of 'factory that cleans up after itself even if that is less profitable', rather than having only the options of 'horrendously polluting factory' and 'no factory', a method of coΓΆrdination is needed across state lines.

why is it such a big deal for trans people to use the "gender I identify with" bathroom, then?




One concern is the ability of people to use bathrooms without announcing what genitals they were born with.

State marriage only exists to manage procreative couplings.

Also the state has other strong interests in deterring homosexuality.

2.) I'm old enough to remember when the macho Russian military with their un-woke ways were going to roll over anybody put in front of them, especially the SJW military that'd been feminized, etc., etc., In reality, what happened was those macho Russian soldiers got nailed with missiles by Ukranian's who were given targeting information by some trans furries working at an army base in Nevada.

"any difference in outcome is caused by racism, we just need to find the racism"




I don't know of anything else that it could be; admittedly, the claims made by the aitchbeedeeists, if true, would describe racism perpetrated by nature.

I think it kind of works; one could be said to 'carry' an objection. I understand your irritation, though.
