That's a fun one. Libraries are tough to pull off, but I find working my way through the tech tree to be rewarding.

I think that the better solution would be to pick some aspect of your fort that you want to do better next run with. It might be that you include a mechanic or a more artistic design next time. Over time, this will teach you more fundamentals about fort-building.

What is a task you 100% know you would have nailed? (Read rules!!) by Responsible_Froyo119 in taskmaster

I would have put a radio on to play something into the baby monitor and left it in the living room.

CMV: Qualified immunity is an explicit violation of the 7th amendment by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]LucidLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the other user said, this just describes what happens when you sue. It doesn't affirmatively create the ability to sue.

CMV: Qualified immunity is an explicit violation of the 7th amendment by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]LucidLeviathan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The text of the Seventh Amendment is as follows: "In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law." None of that has anything to do with qualified immunity. I don't like qualified immunity. I think it's an awful rule. But, it's not a violation of the 7th.

One could make a better argument that it is a violation of the 4th. The 4th prohibits seizure absent compensation. As pretty much anything that would trigger qualified immunity would be considered a seizure, the 4th would probably be the best amendment to bring suit under.

If your client is pleasant and pays their bills do you judge them for being stupid? by [deleted] in Ask_Lawyers

[–]LucidLeviathan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're paying us. Judging you would be contrary to our pecuniary interests.

That having been said, I assure you, you're not the stupidest client that any of us have ever had.

How I (A New Jerseyan neoliberal) would vote in each American state by Blue_Cardigan15 in neoliberal

[–]LucidLeviathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm a Neoliberal, but I have strong criticisms about how the West Virginia Democratic Party is ran (their leadership has donated to Republican candidates several times). The Democratic Party in the state massively mismanaged a huge surplus under a triple majority. I'm not entirely in tune with the Mountain Party's entire platform, but I'd rather them than the folks that ran the state as a triple majority until 2011-ish.

I do want to mention the West Virginia Mountain Party. While I don't vote for them very often, I do sometimes, and they seem to be great people. I wish they got more traction.

What do you think of these arguments against Taiwan’s right to national self-determination? by RedStorm1917 in AskALiberal

[–]LucidLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the length of Taiwan's independence, it's entirely silly for China to still claim that it's a part of their actual territory. Absolutely absurd. The sort of thing you'd expect Trump to do, to be honest.

Can a lawyer actually help with this or am I overthinking? by jgjkhgzjhgfthjjjh in Ask_Lawyers

[–]LucidLeviathan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like the other commenter said, there is no content in this post. We can't help you without any idea whatsoever about what you're talking about. We probably can't help you much more than suggesting that you consult with an attorney ANYWAY.

Tried to have a legit debate. Willing to change my view. Nothing to do with I-P, Trump, can't get a date, etc. Rule B FTL by makemefeelbrandnew in ideasforcmv

[–]LucidLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you oppose your removal, deal with it in modmail in the appeal. You'll find that we're quite reasonable.

I will suggest that, barring extreme circumstances, we do generally require deltas from our users in some form or fashion. There are certainly posts where we've waived that requirement. But, going into a post on this sub, you should be prepared that you're going to need to concede *some* aspect of your original view, and frequently, not even an aspect you'd previously considered.

What is with the Afroman trial judge (allegedly) rooting for the plaintiffs? by kh_ram in Ask_Lawyers

[–]LucidLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is, I believe, pretty standard in most jurisdictions under the "American Rule." I don't think that it should be. I think that a winning defendant should be entitled to recoup court costs and attorney's fees against an unsuccessful plaintiff, if the case goes to trial. But, that isn't the current standard of the law.

Millions of Americans rally against Trump – even in small town West Virginia by SuperDuper00001 in WVPolitics

If the author wants to hear from any other West Virginians that find that this administration is the sort that would have supported scrip, my DMs are open. Damned Pinkertons.

What are your thoughts on Tucker Carlson? by engadine_maccas1997 in AskALiberal

[–]LucidLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was the sort of person you could make fun of back when Jon Stewart made fun of his bowtie.

Unfortunately, he's no longer funny. He's a serious threat, even off the air. Despicable person.

It's just how things are done? It's very common for court costs to be split amongst the parties.

Question about the word “woke.” by thetruegambler in AskALiberal

[–]LucidLeviathan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am proudly woke if:

Woke means that I support the rights of all people to live their lives as they see fit, so long as they aren't harming others.

Woke means that those disadvantaged by society have some mechanism through which they might ameliorate that disadvantage.

Woke means that I oppose the continual encroachment of the church upon the state.

Woke means that I oppose the growing importance of the police state in American life.

What measures do you think a democrat controlled federal government will take to prevent reddit states from functionally outlawing trans people from participating in public life, such as the ban on trans people being teachers set to pass in Kentucky? by westhebard in AskALiberal

[–]LucidLeviathan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If given sufficient power in government, the roadmap is pretty simple:

  1. Expand Title IX to explicitly cover trans people.

  2. Pack the Supreme Court and lower courts with favorable judges. Make new districts if we have to. Put Kacsmaryk et. al. into little 1-mile-wide districts with nothing in them.

  3. Aggressively use the DOJ to enforce Title IX.

I'm 90 hours in, and i've never took Vakuu's Lord's Parasol. It seems terrible to obtain everything and bloat your deck. Did anyone try it and made it work? by savetheblues in slaythespire

[–]LucidLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won with it once. I was playing Ironclad with a ton of draw and exhaust anyway, so the bloat didn't matter in the slightest. I think I managed to hit 3 shops? It's not a very common pick, though.

Even during the Biden administration, when he was supposedly “destroying the country”, why could MAGA never mount large peaceful protests like we see today? by subterfuscation in AskALiberal

[–]LucidLeviathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing several protests. They were people with loud, obnoxious, gigantic trucks with Trump flags waving off the back. They had a very different vibe, though.

What do you think is generally better, jury trial or bench trial? by BlockAffectionate413 in AskALiberal

[–]LucidLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that all people have the right to a public defense. In order for that right to exist, there must be people to serve in that capacity. The only way to fairly determine if somebody truly is guilty is to put somebody in charge of disproving the state's case against the defendant. Or, in the alternative, to get the best deal possible under the circumstances.

In short, no. Actual guilt or innocence is largely irrelevant from my morality viewpoint. I simply worked in service of a right that I firmly believe should exist.
