@MarcusCVance @Shotenkey Chromebooks 3-4 have a big list of full borg models

@Shotenkey Yeah, we have stats for six or so more named borgs, I believe. And a few others mentioned in lore without stats.
But they're more common than that. Japan has 200 in their military. They're common enough to have models designed specifically for construction and fire fighting.

V isn't a good frame of reference for Cyberware
A. We don't have a concrete canon chrome count for the character.
B. Pondsmith (Cyberpunk's creator) has said Johnny helps insulate V from cyberpsychosis
✨SammyBae🌟@EverlightMaiden
@MarcusCVance Ngl this feels pretty light Cyberware compared to the maelstrom or even late game V

@ScottishCommie There are other opposition figures like Rache Bartmoss but they were so nihilistic in their approach that you could argue like Silverhand they caused way more problems than they solved
English
@kalaelizabeth That makes sense honestly, lol.
He seems to be a more stable cyberpsycho, I wonder if that means cyberpsychosis is much more common than it's thought to be, because it can hide as another issue.
Or maybe just because he doesn't have many cybernetics compared to others
English
Johnny Silverhand IS anti-corpo and while it may be for mostly selfish reasons, he is not wrong. He's literally one of the first canon cyberpsychos because of Arasaka. An average soldier in a war for land and money led by a corrupt government. He was 15.

@bhweingarten Are they "persons"?
>Yes
They are counted. It's really that simple.

Critical outstanding question raised by the Court's disastrous Birthright Citizenship ruling: What does it suggest, if anything, about how the Court will rule on whether non-citizens must or can be counted in the census?

"IMF exists to impose capitalist ideology" sounds like a typical leftslop but what is the logical explanation for this. They literally were just giving out money to anyone as long as they promise to shut down hospitals and schools.

@kool79165 @meadowmagpie @DuckBurger4 In the Congo the government collapsed because the west stopped propping up Mobutu and there were two civil wars killing 6 million+ people.
So your question is why things didn't develop quicker after 30 years of robber barons and millions dead?
English
@braindance2020 @meadowmagpie @DuckBurger4 Why did basically every African nation devolve into a dictatorship after decolonization when most of Asia didn’t?
And why did they keep failing to improve after most of the continent democratized in the 90s?
English
@kool79165 @meadowmagpie @DuckBurger4 The western bankers throwing money at dictators in exchange for access to mineral resources and political influence surely have nothing to do with it
English
@meadowmagpie @DuckBurger4 It’s been 60+ years since decolonization and the only people responsible for a lack of diversification in Africa during that timespans has been Africans themselves

if it costs [number i made up] to fix an apartment's problem, but the rent is [another number i made up], then [conclusion that i already believed]
Carl@HistoryBoomer
If it costs $10,000 to fix an apartment's problems, but the rent is $1000, and $900 of that covers costs and taxes, that only leaves $100 a month to cover the $10,000. It'll take 100 months, or 8 years. And that's assuming no new expenses pop up. You want landlords to go broke.

@BasedBattleroid @bagelaureate Hate to think of what that makes Scalia

@realmateo92 @escapefrommelos She's probing the petitioner's argument moron. By criticizing what she is saying in this clip you're AGREEING with her
English
@escapefrommelos she doesn’t understand what allegiance means. she’s a supreme court justice. what a world. good luck to everyone.

its so fucking insane this woman is a lawyer let alone on the supreme court
“so birthright citizenship…. imagine if you steal a wallet in japan… thats like a kind of temporary allegiance to japan”

@space_stations @Anastasia_esq What exactly would you call the existing system of law?
A neutral set of principles conferred by divine intervention???

@Anastasia_esq Leftists have an odd idea about "equal protection" when it's an active system to help some people at the expense of others.

@JeremyTColes @CameronCorduroy Well, no, because you can't add exceptions whenever you feel like *and* Kavanaugh dissented on the constitutional issue
English
@CameronCorduroy That’s silly, and I think he was more like 3 votes here. I think Gorsuch is arguing birthright citizenship doesn’t apply to temporary visitors but those living her unlawfully are quite different.
English
@DEvansworth @thesoypill I'd say that's a weak argument given four members of the Supreme Court are willing to rewrite the constitution on a whim but you do you man
English
@braindance2020 @thesoypill I would argue the judgment is what matters. He thinks it should have been decided narrowly on statutory grounds and disagrees constitutionally but ultimately his conclusion is the same.
English
@thesoypill Kavanaugh agreed the EO was illegal, but because it ran afoul of Congressional statute, not the Constitution itself. That is a cowardly position to take, but one at least grounded in originalism (prior to the 14th Amendment). The other three? Preposterously partisan.
English
@DEvansworth @thesoypill Dissenting in the part that matters. It's 5-4.
English
@thesoypill 6-3 In judgement with Kav siding with the majority in finding but dissenting in part.
English
@Mawilette @thesoypill Not really. It was 5-4 on the constitutional claim.
English
@thesoypill It was 6-3 not 5-4

@Kandi8907 @xolotl9x @TheGlibReaper @dilanesper Cite the law that his candidacy violates! If you can't it's because it doesn't exist!

this is actually a good case to discuss the role of "generating the right legal rule" in statutory and constitutional interpretation. And I say that NOT because I think it is easy. I think this one is legitimately hard.
Eric W.@EWess92
"Decoy" Dan Sullivan can appear on the ballot. In lightspeed litigation, the Court finds that while Alaska *could* pass laws allowing it to remove "sham candidates" from the ballot, it has not. And it finds a "good faith" requirement to run violates the U.S. Constitution.

@tayrianaalover @shinobuissm @nevaRRaven164 Wouldn't you agree that the person claiming something happened generally bears the burden to prove it?
English
@braindance2020 @shinobuissm @nevaRRaven164 yeah i never said that they definitely did, the original tweet mentioned that targs that came before dany never used it and that it was just dany only, which they wouldn’t know for a fact as f&b is a history book with no povs, thats what i was pointing out
English
Dracarys is a command made by Daenerys and Daenerys alone no other Targaryen used that word but her HOTD just capitalized on her fame
SB 🪖@welovesweetboy_
how tf did aegon even manage to scream “dracarys” so loud that it reached balerion’s ear??
English
English
@shinobuissm @nevaRRaven164 but f&b is a history book?? there are no povs in it. so you can’t say for sure that none of them would have used “dracarys” as a command back then
