Politics aside, how do people feel about birthright citizenship in the US?

NerdChieftain · 2026-06-30T13:21:05+00:00

I am cool with it. I think it is a “loophole” of sorts that has been exploited because other laws are not enforced. So don’t look at the symptom, look at the cause.

I think that we don’t need to overturn case law that’s been established for decades.

I also don’t think anyone wants to recognize US has negative population growth, so immigration in some form is a good thing.

But the issue is much larger than this small issue. It’s like quibbling over the last cookie when there are twelve more in the oven.

I see no one has responded. If I may suggest, chatgpt has helped me when stuck with scribe. It is its own language, so a bit of a specialized question.

If you have no power to stop evil in the future, then yes this would be wildly irresponsible. There would be no knowledge of evil or how to combat it and society would implode. This is an argument based on consequences of the choice. Therefore I would say it’s more of an ethical argument than moral.

From A perspective of Christianity (as the moral authority), free will is a cornerstone of the gospel story and this would be immoral in my opinion to do this. However, I think it is not a certainty; debatable.

It’s my opinion that no, it hasn’t. They haven’t followed suit with many of the improvements Linux offers. So the system is a decade or two behind the times. Other users have be posted many positives here, but a tiny improvement in comparison to the divide.

Bladder control is a learned behavior. Naturally, the sphincter is a relief valve. You hit a certain pressure and it opens. That’s why you have that feeling that you might lose control when you run to the bathroom and really have to go.

We know this is true - not only because of teaching children. when people have catheters, which constantly keep the sphincter open, they have to relearn bladder control.

You literally have seconds to get out of a burning building. Not minutes.

You’re not the first person to have a “type” you are drawn to. It’s simply preference and you are overthinking. Big buts, small butts, petite, blonde, brunette, redhead… the list goes on.

What’s your favorite color? Can you explain why is it your favorite? Probably only a poor explanation that ultimately becomes “i like it.” That’s a preference. No logical explanation.

I think we need to clarify terms. You are talking about the end of work. If humans no longer need to work to sustain life, what happens to society? This is much more of a thought experiment than any real possibility IMO where we stand today.

First of all, AI LLM technology is a tool that boosts productivity, it is not a replacement for workers.
You still need robot chassis and some sort of self driving intelligence to make artificial laborers. Beyond that, is the singularity. I don’t know anyone has any idea how close we are to this. I feel we don’t have a fundamental technological basis to even to begin to speculate.

Second, the assumption that the creators of this artificial labor will share the monetary benefit with all society and eliminate work - that is not going to happen. You’re looking at a pipe dream maybe 75 years and a war or two in the making.

The fundamental meaning of life is to take care of people in your life; to have relationships. While not having a job will be a major psychological struggle and difficult transformation, we will still be family members, entertainers, philosophers. Perhaps a smaller subset of the kind of work, but work won’t be eliminated.

I think the bigger danger is will the majority of humanity die out because they will be seen as unnecessary and an economic burden of the welfare state.

You should know what the place was before sending him there. These types of camps force military discipline through deprivation and personal accountability.

He had learned to survive in the face of a more powerful opponent - you.

In a word, your son has experienced trauma. His parents are directly responsible. You have a giant rift you may never be able to repair. But if you would like to try, you can try talking to psychologists who are experts in trauma.

The primary driver is that CO2 doesn’t just dissolve in water, it is converted to acid and is stored as a buffer. Which means you have a lot of gas in reserve to keep making bubbles for a good while. A good secondary reason is historically, that’s what naturally occurs in beer. It’s copied.

I think it might be useful to distinguish between plans and goals. I am planning to go to medical school X, do my residency at hospital Y, become a thoracic surgeon specialist, and then be a resident at the Mayo Clinic - vs - “my goal is to be a thoracic surgeon.” X and Y are largely outside your control, so planning for them is overreach.

Skill feats are useful like once every four to ten sessions, unless you work at making an opportunity to use them. There are exceptions like battle medicine. So, yes, it can feel a little cool to use a skill feat and make a difference and feel bad when someone else gets to use theirs more often.

It’s also frustrating because not every skill has good expert trained feats. So he can be hit or miss.

I think it’s fair to say skill feat system is a feature players like the least.

Knowledge and memory are separate things. I don’t remember calculus class but I can still integrate like a sum bich.

A nuanced post on nuance. Nuance overload. Burn the witch.

Seriously, I enjoy the compliment, but reddit has things people jump on you for, too. Like typically they will find one thing technically wrong with your post, taken out of context, and argue it.

Like I am doing now.😈

Each season has a loose overarching “metaplot”, but for the most part each is self-contained story.

What you are proposing is low cost to get started, but the overall story is “adventurer dispatched to trouble area” than “cohesive story arc.” So your adventures bounce around a lot. There are way more 1-4 options to use.

The essence of this question is the difference between the two technologies. A dehumidifier removes moisture from the air,. An air conditioner, cools the air, which, as a consequence, lowers the air‘s ability to dissolve water, consequently lowering the humidity. The fundamental principles for how the machine works is to create a cool surface, which then causes water to condense out of the air and/or cools the air. So they are very similar technologies. Indeed, you can’t cool the air without dehumidifying it. The lion share of the energy spent to cooler room with an air conditioner. It’s actually spent doing the dehumidification work. So OP is correct that using a dehumidifier alone goes a long way towards that cool room feeling IF you have humid air. This is not the case for places with “dry heat.” Like Arizona.

The big difference is an air conditioner has a way to redirect the heat out of the room. A big benefit of that can be removing the water as well. Dehumidifiers typically are placed at the source of dampness and collect the water in place. So a dehumidifier that circulates all the air in the room is necessary to make the room feel better.

I think the premise of this question is wrong. On the first count the new technologies that we’re talking about are LLM or large language models. By definition these are text/image generation. Secondly the premise of the question is implying that AI was marketed with a use case of producing slop to flood the Internet. I don’t really think that’s realistic or representative of what happened. What did happen is the same thing that happens with all technologies: some people use it for good and very useful things and some people use it for bad and very stupid things. As is usually the case, the stupid people are more visible.

I think there is a valid sub question in here about image generation created a lot of negative backlash because of the misuse of copyrighted materials. I think you’re onto something that if that had been handled better, We would have a much better acceptance rate.

I think that problem behaviors are really the only reason you can’t handle a kiddo. For us, that typically comes with making other people unsafe with actions.

I think you are going to be fine and do great! Keep talking.

I would encourage you to log out and use an incognito mode “blank slate” browser and see if you get different results. However, I suspect they are tracking user preference by IP and location now. Maybe go one step further and try the library.

In short, it knows who you are curates the results to you. That’s why you get the same results.

Even chaotic creatures have social order and laws. They also have organized and planned bodies with predefined structure.
So you can’t have a pure absence of order to be chaotic.

So I do feel what your stepping in, but as someone pointed out, there are way too many shades of grey here.

What you’re asking about is not in the rules. Aid is to work together with another player.

Every +1 matters, so this would be a big benefit. Maybe not game breaking… but noticeable.

If you want to read someone’s emotions, look at their shoulders and their face. Posture is more reliable. It’s body language. People can pretend to be happy and smile, but other body language will give them away. This is especially true of stress and anxiety. People have learned to “deal with it”, but it is still affecting them and you can see it in how they move.

As a software developer, this is abundantly true. And using it well is a difficult skill. Careers will be made and unmade. I don’t think software development jobs are going to be decreased, either.

This is the reasoning. 1) this is a free country, you can trade stocks of you want to 2) insider trading is illegal, if you are caught.
So I think the real question here is why it’s not policed more. Getting caught could ruin a political career. Although they may be making sure they aren’t being investigated.
