If forcing everyone to use tor to access porn is the solution, you're only gonna catch the really dumb folks. Which, might work I guess. Kids who grew up with smart phones have no idea how regular pcs work. Apparently.

Downside: More kids will learn Tor and other workarounds to view porn, most likely going to dark web sites even more dangerous than PornHub.

Upside: Computer literacy rates will skyrocket.

That is the point. You use smartphones and tablets so you don't have to go through the hassle of buying or assembling an expensive PC.

You do realize that it's important to know how to use a pc and laptop for most work environments and in college? Not everything can be done on a phone you know.

There is a Republican candidate, too. Sliwa got 27% last time. I don't think he would win even with a split vote, but it's not as clear cut with 4 people running, three of whom are splitting the blue vote to some extent.

A billionaire Republican grocery store magnate doesn't want Sliwa to win and supports Adams for some reason. He is urging others to do the same. The Guardian Angels founder has responded to calls for him to drop out by saying he won't leave the race unless "it's in a pine box."
 
Point and Laugh dijo:
No this is the ruling filed on the birthright citizenship EO but the ruling is on the district courts authority to issue nationwide injunctions. Totally different case! This is much bigger and a huge win for Trump. I posted it in A&N.

I just know Null gets shit for featuring politics anyway, but I am rooting for you to convince the jannies to allow two political features.

6-3 Alito writing libcucks dissenting



The court first holds that the parents are likely to succeed on their claim that the policy of not allowing opt-outs unconstitutionally burdens their exercise of their religion.
“we have long recognized," Alito writes, "the rights of parents to direct 'the religious upbringing' of their children. And we have held that those rights are violated by government policies that substantially interfere with the religious development of children."

Sotomayor: The reverberations of the Court’s error will be felt, I fear,for generations. Unable to condone that grave misjudgment, I dissent.

if you want to live together, live together. no one's stopping you. i don't understand why there isn't a tax situation for roommates or homosexuals or whatever, just people who aren't married but live together long-term, especially if they have mingled finances.

people have the way they think about marriage backwards. they think that marriage is just one of many potential arrangements to deal with property and taxes and everything else that interfaces with the government.

no. marriage is the only voluntary personal association you can easily enter into with another adult that requires the government to deal with more than one person as a unit. Modern Western government wants to deal with every individual as an atomized single entity. This is so basic to how we do things in the West that it can be hard for us to see it but it's one of the fundamental things that makes the West Western - we come before the state as individuals, not as members of collectives, and we deal with the state directly, not mediated by something like the Ottoman millet system. The huge exception, the one that affects normal people in their normal lives, is marriage. The state has no interest in extending your ability to do this, the only reason it happened with fag marriage is the fundamental attitude towards the individual baked into the culture - in the West you are an individual before you are a man or a woman. No one is getting granted any rights or privileges for being roommates, or domestic employees, or super good buds, ever.

So, if not birth, what determines citizenship? Does every potential American citizen have to pass a test like a new immigrant would? At what point in their life? These are sincere questions. I'm having trouble envisioning it.

You're mixing up jus sanguinis and jus soli. In English they're both called birthright citizenship, but they aren't the same thing. People want to get rid of or restrict the latter, not the former. This means children of American citizens would always have American citizenship no matter where they're born, but children of non-citizens who happen to be born on American soil would have to go through the process of obtaining citizenship.
 
The Senate on Friday blocked an effort to prevent President Trump from taking future military action against Iran without authorization from Congress, less than a week after he directed strikes aimed at its nuclear capabilities. Senators voted 47-53 largely along party lines against the war powers resolution.
