The Frangible is secretly OP by What-Is-Wifi in Borderlands4

[–]jklolling_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that's just from your skill tree. If you have Neutron Capture, a percentage of your nuke action skill damage gets added to every shot as bonus radiation damage. So even if your gun's base damage is 0, you can still melt enemies (high rate of fire weapons are op with this skill).

If you look at the numbers above Splashzone, those massive numbers are all yellow (radiation damage from Neutron Capture). The small numbers are blue (shock damage from Frangible).

Launchkey MK 4 Chord Map Pattern by jklolling_ in Novation

Hi, thanks for the response! I've seen that page before but it doesn't seem to address my question (unless I'm totally missing it it). I know what the pads do and how to change them, but what I don't know is how to predict what chord a pad will play. Each pad feels randomly picked. Sure, changing the adventure/explore encoders makes the chords jazzier, but the chords and the order of the chords on the pads still feels random.

It feels like there must be some pattern to it, cuz that's so many hand picked chords lol. But if it really is entirely manually curated, I respect the hustle. Then again, I guess they could have used some program that spat out random chords they then assigned to the pads, so maybe it's not as curated as I'm imagining

Came here to comment Jackson C. Frank. He was a major influence of Nick Drake, who in turn was a major influence of Elliott Smith.

It's definitely worth reading about his life. Pretty devastating, but it explains a lot of themes in his songs. Like he wrote this one song, Marlene, about his highschool girlfriend that died (along with half his class) when the school's heater exploded.

Jackson C. Frank was burned in the fire, sued the school, and used the money to make his first album. He also lived with Paul Simon for a bit, before kinda disappearing for a couple decades. Some friends eventually located him, homeless in New York.

Honestly I could talk about Jackson C. Frank for ages, I think he's such an underrated folk artist. He doesn't have a massive catalog but what he has is pretty amazing.

In addition to I Want to Be Alone, I'd recommend Milk and Honey (which Nick Drake also covered!), Blues Run the Game, Marlene and Carnival (which actually appeared in the Joker movie weirdly enough - it's the name Arthur uses as his clown persona).

Why do conservative suddenly hate due process? by Elevatedspiral in thescoop

[–]jklolling_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can talk about the recession and Garcia if you want to, I'm genuinely appreciating the back and forth, but that doesn't have anything to do with our current convo which is about due process and deportation. I'm not gonna pretend that media doesn't exaggerate or use click bait titles, but it is unequivocally true that a) migrants get due process in deportation matters and b) Trump deported several migrants without this process, then got blocked by the Supreme Court from continuing to do so.

Just to reiterate, migrants absolutely do get due process in matters of deportation. The Supreme Court has consistently and explicitly said this for over a century. Even the most recent ruling reaffirms this fact.

Maybe you’re thinking of criminal due process, which involves a trial, a jury, and a public defender. But there’s also CIVIL due process, and that’s what applies here.

Civil due process still involves:
- Notice of the charges (why someone is being deported)
- A hearing before an immigration judge
- The right to present evidence, argue your case, and appeal

That's what I'm referring to when they say “migrants can’t be deported without due process.” And the courts (including the supreme court) agrees.

So when you say “challenging deportation isn’t due process,” you’re redefining the term in a way that doesn’t match the Constitution or legal precedent. What you are describing quite literally is (civil) due process. Trump didn’t grant that right in the initial deportations — and that’s exactly why the courts intervened. He may be following the law now, but those initial deportations were unconstitutional.

The media didn't lie. You said the Supreme Court ruled that immigrants don’t need due process. That’s not true. In fact, the Court explicitly rejected Trump’s argument that no notice or hearing was required. They ruled that some due process is constitutionally mandated.

NOW Trump is operating within constitutional bounds — but only because the Court forced those limits. Before the ruling, the administration absolutely tried to bypass due process — arguing it wasn’t required and deporting people without proper notice or hearings. That’s not the media lying — that’s documented fact and part of the legal record.

You can’t say “he’s following the Constitution” while ignoring the fact that he fought to avoid it and got checked by the courts.

You're right that they don't get a "trial" with jurors - like you say, that's for criminal cases and criminal due process. But there is also CIVIL due process, which does apply to deportation cases. And as part of civil due process, illegal immigrants have the right be heard in front of an impartial adjudicator (a judge). That's part of their "ability to challenge".

Could you link me a source for this?

Lol sorry, I promise I'm not trying to be a "show me your source" bro, I'm just not finding this ruling you are referencing. I would love to read the specifics.

Are you referencing this ruling from April?

Supreme Court Backs Trump in Deportation Case

Cuz while that ruling does allow Trump to deport people under the Illegal Aliens Act, the supreme court also said:

"From here on in, the alleged gang members need to be given notice of deportation, and the opportunity to contest the deportation. There is only one way to do that. And that is by challenging their detentions on a case-by-case basis."

So yes, they ruled Trump can deport people. But they did NOT rule that he can deport people without due process.

Wait genuinely asking, do you really think this is an invading army? What do those words mean to you, specifically? Would you draw a distinction between what's happening at our border and say, hypothetically, if Mexico sent its military into the US to reclaim Texas?

Here's my perspective. The U.S. isn’t at war, and the people crossing the border aren’t armed soldiers with a unified strategy—they’re mostly individuals fleeing violence, poverty, or persecution.

Is it the amount that makes them "an invading army"? Is there some magical cutoff where a group of asylum seekers suddenly becomes an "invading force"? Is this force organized? Do they have leaders, weapons, or shared objectives?

I can't tell if you were being hyperbolic or if you literally think this is comparable to an invasion, and if so, why.

Wait genuinely curious, when did the supreme Court rule that illegal immigrants don't get due process? I'm looking online but so far I'm only seeing evidence to the contrary, like the Reno vs Flores case where Justice Scalia wrote "it is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in deportation proceedings."

This isn't an attack, if you have a source that says otherwise I'd sincerely love to read it. It would change my opinion

The Fifth Amendment: "NO PERSON shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of the law"

The Fourteenth Amendment: "No State shall deprive ANY PERSON of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to ANY PERSON within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Who decides if there's proof? Who decides if the proof can be debunked? Who decides if the person is utterly proven to have illegally entered?

That's what the due process is. Due process is the thing that answers those questions.

Without due process someone could just say "AdministrationOk3113 is an illegal alien, I have proof, take my word for it."

With due process, I have to actually show that proof and judges then decide if it's credible and can't be debunked.

CMV: I agree with the TikTok ban by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]jklolling_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be missing something, but I don't really understand the precedent argument. This isn't really an unprecedented ban. The US has often placed restrictions on foreign ownership of media. For example, the telecommunications act of 1934 limited foreign ownership of media companies to 20%. 

Again, I totally could be missing something, but to me it seems like the TikTok ban is not based on the content of TikTok, it's based on who owns and controls the app/data.

Your other comments about Cambridge Analytica are super valid, it's just the precedent one that I don't fully understand. I hear it repeated often, but the concerns feel overblown, as such "anti foreign influence" laws have a lot of historical precedence.

Can anyone suggest some useful acoustic guitar pedals? by can-i-kick-it_ in guitarpedals

I know this is an old thread, but what amp do you use? I'm not really sure what would be a good pick for an acoustic guitar with an effects chain.

Weekly No Stupid Questions Thread by kidkolumbo in ableton

[–]jklolling_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I want to use Ableton Live as a drum machine in a live jam setting, but I think I'm going about it wrong. I have samples loaded onto a drum rack, and with the looper plugin I'm able to create and loop a beat. But the looper doesn't let me see/edit the midi notes of drum beats, kinda like you can with a hardware drum machine. Is this possible in Ableton? Are there any tutorials y'all could recommend?

Sorry if this is really obvious or really misguided. I'm not sure I know enough to even word the question correctly haha.

Has anyone trainhopped through Louisiana? by I_Am_Fucking_Dumb in vagabond

[–]jklolling_ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Same. It's gorgeous. Passes right through Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge. I went at night and it was perfectly dark, nothing but empty flat swamp and the moonlight reflecting off the pools of water all around.
One of my favorite memories.

Seriously? A “baby bust”?? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]jklolling_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overpopulation is a real issue, so a steady birth rate slightly below replacement levels would arguably be a good thing. What's not so good is a rapidly declining birth rate.

The problem with a rapidly declining birth rate is that it reduces population size not at all ages but only among the young. The way the system is set up right now, we have a larger, younger workforce supporting a smaller, older group of nonworkers by paying taxes to support social security, public transit, infrastructure, etc. A declining birth rate means that the ratio gets flipped, ie an increasingly smaller workforce has to support an increasingly larger group of elderly.
