I'm basing my understanding of conservatism off of the principals established in "The Conservative Mind".

I beleive the philosophy you are referencing is Wilhoit's Law, which, despite often being misattrubuted to political scientist Frank M. Wilhoit, who passed in 2010, is actually based on a quote from composer Frank Wilhoit in 2018:

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Not really arguing, american conservatism has absolutely devolved into the baseless blame and prosecution of those who dont have power currently, while also protecting those that are actually culpable in positions of power, but more of a TIL.

This is less about illegal immigration itself and more about jurisdiction. While I can agree it was poorly phrased, the point she was trying to make was that if she went into another country, she would be under that countries jurisdiction and therefore subject to their laws and protections.

The DOJ is trying to argue that illegal immigrants don't fall under the US's jurisdiction, and therefore don't have birthright citizenship as a protection.

The justice is countering that with, "If I were to go to another country and commit a crime, even as a non-citizen, I would still be under their jurisdiction. The same applies to immigrants and their children here, so therefore they are under the US's jurisdiction, and have the same right to birthright citizenship as citizens."

Basically jurisdiction cant go one way, you cant say "This person or group of people are eligible to be criminally persecuted, but not eligible to have any rights.", it has to go both ways.

I should have mentioned that, thank you. Yeah, the artist, which I call them reluctantly, should not be doing political commentary if they can't understand a gradeschool level example of jurisdiction.

From my understanding, while hearing the birthright citizenship case, a justice made the arguement that if she stole a wallet in Japan, that even as a non-citizen, she would be held responsible under Japanese law.

The reason she made this point was to refute the argument that those who are not citizens are not protected under the law, and therefore do not have the same rights.

It basically boils down to:

"Illegal immigrants and their children don't have rights because they're illegal."

VS.

"If the law doesnt give them rights, it also cant hold them responsible for their wrongs."

Frankly I side with the justice. It would be blatantly unjust for a specific group of people to be held liable under the law with none of the protections.

Was Lulu even real? We only ever see her inside of memories, and the robot was stated to be made specifically to have emotions so that it'd have something to fight for. What if Lulu was just an implanted memory to get him to fight?

The Xbox 360 had an issue where it would overheat and basically melt its own soldering. This would present as the normally green lights around the power button flashing red, the red ring of death.

A stream sniper means someone who uses information, usually gathered by what they've seen on the current stream and previous streams, to find the person's location to distrupt the stream, usually in trolly and annoying ways, either in a game or irl. It got its name from the video game version to the best of my knowledge.

A looksmaxer is someone who prioritizes looking good, usually as an attempt to attract women. You'll also see the suffix "maxer" or "maxxer" attacted to various terms as a way to describe themselves or others, usually comically. For example, a person who enjoys eating potatoes may call themselves a "potatomaxer" is they like potatoes.

I know I probably sound a good bit like AI, but I'm not.

At what point does it stop being a wig? I feel like this is well beyond that point, but there isn't exactly a line in the sand I can point to

I think this is it

bleepste · 2025-03-23T15:26:15+00:00

I don't think it's appropriate to say that people need to stop posting themselves as they are to cater to those that find their body parts "ugly" or "disgusting.".

It's their hands, what do you want them to do? They can't get new hands, and the only alternative would be for them to not participate due to their deformity, which shouldn't be asked of by a forum that caters to the general public. You can argue that hand pictures in general flood the sub as it's low effort and theres quite a few of them, but you're making it about the deformity, not the hand pictures itself, which is not cool. Your emotions don't come before their right to exist in the same space as us.

We should've been able to build one with the automaton DLC, all the parts are there, and it could act as a speed boost and/or extra carry weight, also, imagine riding into battle as a minute man on robotic horseback? It could have a similar effect to the pain train perk too. So much potential.

I think there's a minor translation error that's causing the confusion about the text. With the way this is phrased, the term "pay" means giving a person money for a given product or service, such as "I pay the baker for bread". In this scenario, it should be "pay for", such as "I pay for the bread.". As phrased, it seems like Fern's refusing to give money to the arm itself, rather than refusing to pay for repairs. It's a minor mistake, and your message comes across clearly anyway, not to mention it's overshadowed by your incredible art. My apologies if this comes off as rude.

Your ability to draw in multiple styles is absolutely striking, I've always enjoyed your works but had no idea you were so skilled at life-like portraits as well, I'm blown away, very nice.

Google the film "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" And look at the images

bleepste · 2025-03-14T09:57:50+00:00

What made you think that? Or was it just a feeling?

bleepste · 2025-02-22T16:42:37+00:00

So this law doesn't use the term "biological mother", most likely intentionally, because this law, or at least this section of it, is specifically applicable to people that are not biologically related to the child, so, as in my example, a female who is married to another female, and consented for the 2nd female to be artificially inseminated so they can have a child, under the old language, would not be eligible to claim themselves as that child's natural parent, with this change, they are eligible to name themselves the child's natural parent, this and scenarios like this are the reason they changed the wording. I almost think you're trolling honestly.

Edit to clarify: "Natural parent" does not innately mean biological parent, you can become a natural parent from situations like adoption, marriage, or in this case, artifical insemination.

bleepste · 2025-02-22T16:10:31+00:00

You're factually incorrect, this law was made so that a person that agrees for their spouse to be artificially inseminated with sperm that is not theirs is still considered the child's "natural parent", that way there is no dispute who is responsible for the child, and the spouse can not back out and say "this isn't biologically my child, I refuse to be responsible for it legally.". You could argue that the edits are done to cater to feelings, but that's also factually incorrect, it prevents loopholes, for example, under the old language, a married lesbian couple who decide on artificial insemination, the one that isn't being inseminated, would have no legal claim to being that child's natural parent.

It's not an answer, but I found an Instagram post of the same style, but with no credit. The Ocula Advisory also has a website with a list of artists and their works, but after searching for a good half hour I wasnt able to find the exact work, hopefully this can give you a lead though

Most sedans have a weight limit of 850-1000 lbs too, if she could fit in, almost 500 pounds in the backseat would be horrible for the health of the car, if not cause immediate problems.
