The problem is that a judge, by virtue of being human, is incapable of impartiality.

If there were some sort of computer code that turned the legal system into a hard science that would be amazing, but I doubt that’s even possible.

Gay marriage is mostly decided in the US, despite Republican bluster and Democrat worry. It is strongly supported by both parties, and while more radical Republicans are in power now, it’s quite unlikely it will change.

The policies at critical danger in the next four years are abortion, trans rights, and immigrant rights.

I still don’t understand why NASA doesn’t make the lunar lander themselves, they are great at landers. Then contract out the ride to low lunar orbit.

I know it’s unprecedented, but surely a few Falcon Heavies could put a transfer stage, service module, and lander into LEO, to be assembled in-orbit. Heck it’s not even that unprecedented since Apollo had to be reconfigured in-orbit as well.

Yeah, this might fundamentally change the goals of Artemis, but it seems like relatively low hanging fruit compared to the bonkers complexity we’re trying now.

A good deal of the miracles happen conveniently off-screen, and mostly become “true” because the whole group tends to unanimously trust the mythos.

Support ranked choice voting initiatives at a local level, then state level, then national level. This bottom-up approach is quite practical, though it takes some time to complete.

Sadly half of the world seems to be content with the first one, always assuming that “the weak” refers to a demographic they hate.

This is a particularly difficult situation to give advice on because it could be totally harmless or completely dangerous, depending on the details.

You’re probably best talking to a therapist or other highly trusted individual who knows the specifics of the situation instead of random internet strangers.

I think the first two episodes were mediocre, the rest of the season was fantastic. Maybe give it a shot!

The latest season almost feels like a return to form. Nearly all the episodes were excellent.
