You need to understand what Marbury v. Madison did, in order to get this joke.

Show thread

HINT:

Either the court was violating the law for 50 years, or they are violating the law now.

In either case, what SCOTUS says and what the law says are not the same.

My opinion:

Marbury v. Madison was incorrectly decided and is therefore overturned.

(my opinions take precedent over SCOTUS’s opinions)

If I read the court’s opinion correctly in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health,

1. If there is no specific enumerated or implied right mentioned in the US Constitution, then a state can make a law to prohibit the exercise of that right.

and

2. There is no explicit or implied right to bodily integrity in the US Constitution.

Therefore, according to the ruling, a state can make a law that requires everyone to have a barcode tattooed to their forehead.

That sucks.

one more time...

Is it more important to follow the law, or to follow what the Supreme Court says?

BTW yesterday Thomas was my hero (2A), but today he's a dick.

@freemo @PiedraFiera @icedquinn

That's exactly it. They always try to work it backward to fit tradition or intuition and end up in twisted contradictions and cognitive dissonance.

@freemo @PiedraFiera @icedquinn

There have been volumes written about determining who quaifies as a moral patient and what obligations we have toward them.

If you consistently follow the logic, there can be only one conclusion.

This is why I am a vegan.

@peterdrake

I don't understand the question. Are you curious to know what entering "r" by itself on the command line will do under all possible circumstances, or do you you want to fix it so that entering either "r" or "R" will launch the R console?

If the latter then I think,

alias r='R'

will fix it.

Thank you for your offer of employment at (company name redacted). I’m sure working at xxxx would prove to be an exciting and stimulating job. However, the salary and benefits in your offer don’t match my requirements at this time, so I will be moving on to other offers.

Thank you for your time,

Sincerely...

Nevermind. I found maim -- a commandline screenshot utility.

@icedquinn

ok, a custom keybinding.

What is maim? Is that related to mime?

I tried all comobations of alt, ctrl, shift, "windows key" + s, but it doesn't work. I don't know what the "super key" is.

Which desktop are you using? That doesn't work with Xfce.
