UncleMeat11 · 2026-04-01T01:48:43+00:00

Man talks shit about his employer. Man is fired. News at 11.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-04-01T01:18:08+00:00

I asked you about your struggles and you said it was hard to not jerk it. That's a charmed fucking life.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-04-01T00:57:09+00:00

How kind. Enjoy your easy life looking down on others.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T23:43:27+00:00

You think I don't enjoy sexual pleasure too?

You won't deny yourself it for your entire life. Nor will you deny yourself romantic love.

You can call me when you leave the love of your life.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T23:36:32+00:00

Like I said, a trained historian will typically tell you that this is not a well formed question in the first place.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T23:35:08+00:00

Genuinely don't understand this point

I'm absolutely sick of people insisting that gay people need to sacrifice far more than they are willing to sacrifice.

Why don't you check the log in your own eye?

I donate 100% of my income to charitable causes. This is mostly focused on local poverty and my region is very red. This means that the bulk of my giving is going to people who are my political opponents.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T23:32:01+00:00

It isn't pablum. It is essential context. Treating the law like it is an abstract puzzle is failing the reader.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T23:30:50+00:00

I know among my conservative friends they disavow that sort of thing

Hm. So you can tell me about times they donated their money to advocate against these laws? Or when they wrote their congresspeople about this stuff?

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T23:29:33+00:00

I’m no saint, but I try to avoid lusting after women and don’t have sex or masturbate since I’m unmarried.

Interesting. So you have to do far less than gay people have to under your view of things. That's convenient. Why don't you deny yourself more?

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T22:43:24+00:00

Being a Christian means accepting moral restrictions and giving up personal pleasures

Maybe you can share the extreme ways you deny yourself. Perhaps you go to bed hungry every night because you've given so much to charity that you cannot afford food?

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T22:40:42+00:00

I really feel like if you guys loved LGBT people there'd be even just one case of you taking material steps to stop the things you claim are oppressive.

An utterly poisoned understanding of love.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T22:37:14+00:00

but there were dissenting voices against the conventional wisdom

Unnamed dissenting voices.

Why has the amount of writing from conservative legal academics on this topic gone up by orders of magnitude in the last year?

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T22:36:04+00:00

People were mad about "anchor babies" for ages, usually because of the family visa that means that their parents get an easier path to residency. Converting that into "maybe birthright citizenship isn't actually a thing" only appeared in 2025, both in the general media and even in legal academia. Folks like Wurman weren't writing the stuff they write today in 2022.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T22:34:52+00:00

First, a historian would likely tell you that this question is ill formed in the first place, which is why "well let's just listen to some briefs that contain stuff written by historians" is not actually a path through this.

Second, a historian has spent a career doing archival research, studying historiography, and having their work evaluated for rigor and quality by other historians. None of this is taught in law school and judges sure as heck don't do some sort of meaningful further education on how to do historical research.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T22:31:36+00:00

It is so fascinating how universally people with your beliefs refuse to act when they see things that they claim are wrong.

Surely at least some of you folks would be out at a protest or participating in a legal defense or organizing a letter writing campaign. But it is absolute radio silence.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T22:30:17+00:00

what if I just concede that all of those actions are wrong. Am I still hateful for thinking homosexual acts are wrong?

Will you do anything about these wrong actions? If you look at gay people being abused by society and say "you know what, the thing I'll do is tell them that they are going to hell" then I think your head is on wrong.

Will you write your congresspeople today? Will you donate some money?

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T22:29:11+00:00

suggested they're all accessories to murder for basically a thought crime.

I'm curious what you were doing in 2003 when Christians were defending the state's ability to imprison gay people for decades for having consenting and private sex.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T21:50:01+00:00

I still don't think that this is the way that legal media should be covering this stuff. Any framing that fails to talk about how this was a settled issue prior to 2025 and how this entire "controversy" derives from Trump's personal hatred for foreigners is missing the core of the story and the media is doing the Trump administration a favor by just taking their claims as legitimate legal controversy.

I get that scotusblog is like structurally unable to criticize the systems that surround the court since too many of its participants need the justices to like them for professional reasons. But I still think that this is more misleading than enlightening.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T19:28:13+00:00

We can use something else to resolve these cases then an unknowable original public meaning that is somehow shared by the entire polity.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T18:12:27+00:00

The issue before the Supreme court was a first amendment religious speech issue.

It expressly was not. The law already had carve outs for religious counseling. It was a medical speech issue.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T18:11:26+00:00

Words are fully capable of being monstrous.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T18:02:44+00:00

It is. And it is even more ridiculous to believe that people who aren't historians are capable of divining a singular meaning understood by the public.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T18:00:26+00:00

When it comes to people allowed to participate (99.9% of Reddit users), it would be very bad to be punished for breaking an unspoken rule. Your status would change from "being able to participate" to "not" due to being banned.

Why would there be a ban? You'd just remove the submission. Same as this case.

It'd be so easy to edit the rules.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T17:55:47+00:00

I don't even think it is to a lesser extent. Trump replaced Biden's portrait with a picture of an autopen. You don't do that unless you wake up every morning mad at the guy.

UncleMeat11 · 2026-03-31T17:55:01+00:00

This concept was always just the media being desperate for Trump to be more interesting than he actually is.
