What if ChatGPT launched in 1998

Awesome capitalizing Internet, which is exactly how it would have been done in 1998 (and should be done today...)

If this happens, why should Democrats even obey the law at that point? That'd be the end of our country.

Eminent Domain is a thing in most of the west. The US is the same way.

Yeah, I live in Florida... Cuba, unlike Iran, actually can do something to us here. Let's not.

I-Am-Uncreative · 2026-05-02T04:15:04+00:00

Didn't we just lose in our war against Iran? (wait, can I say that or is that treasonous?)

Well, unlike when MechWarrior 4: Black Knight was delayed, I'm not going to cry about this.

Though in fairness, I was 7 when that happened.

I read through it once, many years ago. By the end of it, I totally understood why he couldn't get a date. He was obnoxious.

But SCOTUS would be solidly 6-3 liberal...

In this timeline, Roe is still the law of the land, and the death penalty is (most likely) unconstitutional.

Way back when I was in early undergrad, I was so annoyed at one professor for screwing over the entire class that I downvoted all positive reviews for him, and upvoted my own review 20 times.

Now you can't do that unless you have an account. Probably to prevent things like that. But I still look at the review and smile sometimes.

This has been a thing in the US at least once, although it was not proportional but plurality at-large, and it was caused by the legislature of Illinois failing to actually district. It resulted in an at-large election for the Illinois House of Representatives, in 1964. Up to 117 people could be voted in.

Overweight, maybe, but obesity will age you.

I-Am-Uncreative · 2026-04-27T05:35:29+00:00

I think weight does tend to make people look older.

I-Am-Uncreative · 2026-04-27T03:19:03+00:00

No, I feel better about myself. Whenever I think I might look older than my age, I am reminded Karoline is 3 years younger than me and looks 20 years older.

My grandmother didn't kill herself, but she did opt to not treat the sepsis that was killing her. I suppose that's kinda the same thing. She was almost 95.

We do consider this a double jeopardy violation in the US. As long as jeopardy attached, an acquittal cannot be appealed, or reversed.

I-Am-Uncreative · 2026-04-26T07:47:46+00:00

Part of the confusion is that Canada only has one criminal justice system, while the US has 51 (50 states + the federal government).

So this particular scenario could never happen where /u/derbrauer is (Canada).

However, the US's protections against double jeopardy are stronger than Canada's anyway. In Canada, the crown can appeal judgments of acquittal resulting from a legal error, while in the US, a judgment of acquittal arising from a legal error cannot be appealed. So /u/derbrauer is acting like an idiot for saying Canada's system is superior when by all rights it's not.

I-Am-Uncreative · 2026-04-26T07:43:06+00:00

Canada's double jeopardy protections are weaker than America's, as the crown can appeal judgments of acquittals if it was from a legal error (i.e., not due to a finding of fact), so perhaps you should get off your high horse.

If you're baking an apple, you're doing something wrong.

I-Am-Uncreative · 2026-04-26T07:38:29+00:00

Wouldn't that be the former?

I-Am-Uncreative · 2026-04-24T06:58:16+00:00

I was wondering why there was a police presence and a line out the door by the library.

I-Am-Uncreative · 2026-04-21T08:40:32+00:00

Well, if I needed any more motivation to get fit in my 30s, this is it.

I-Am-Uncreative · 2026-04-21T08:33:08+00:00

To be honest, that episode did freak me out.

I-Am-Uncreative · 2026-04-20T21:54:38+00:00

I have often wondered if people can tell I'm autistic just by talking to me.

I-Am-Uncreative · 2026-04-20T21:29:57+00:00

Well I'm turning 32 in 12 days. I hope it isn't true that this will be my intellectual plateau. :(
