The definition of what those "rights" were changed under Columbia v Heller in 2008, a ruling which ran against the whole concept of "originalism" that many neocons go off on -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller

District of Columbia v. Heller

District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. It ruled that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms—unconnected with service in a militia—for traditionally lawful purposes such as self-defense within the home, and t...

Anyway, I'm not arguing this

yeah that did it im done with this

#

talk to you later bob, i wont get political with you anymore
better for both of us

manic torrent
#

I mean "as protection" is entirely unnecessary in that sentence

olive stump
#

I've just done this argument before, someone brings up 2a, I make my point, they can't argue constitutional law so they move to hypotheticals or instances that weren't either inscribed in law or in contemporary interpretations of the constitution, then it's the self-defence argument, and then it's an hour of goalpost moving

because it doesn't matter.

Hot take but imo Twitch tries it's best with an influencer market constantly trying to skirt around the rules in some meta-rules-quest-adventure to game the system for views (money)

I assume those streams still bring in a ton of cash/traffic

manic torrent

Twitch could fix this by modifying the incentive structure but chooses not to because advertiser KPIs are driven by impressions and not quality

twitch has to ride that line of not just being trash-tier, but .... also allowing trash because it makes money

random question which console yall think is better PS5 or the series x?

#

i got a PS5 going from Xbox One mostly cus of the exclusives and a few of my friends switched

olive stump
#

PS5 has fewer but better quality games, Series X has a better ecosystem and services offiering

rustic onyx
#

yea backwards compatibility and game pass is a huge draw for me

olive stump
#

Neither is better, just a preferences thing 🙂

rustic onyx
#

but the exclusives though i’ve wanted to play them forever

olive stump
#

Playstation's UI and online service is still not as polished as Xbox's

shut lichen
#

cool thing with consoles.... they're cheap enough and small enough to easily own both

rustic onyx
#

i like the ps5 UI a ton i wish the series x had a UI difference compared to xbox one

#

like idk i don’t like how the UI between the two is basically the same

#

fuck now i feel like ima worry and second guess

#

actually you know what nah i don’t care im happy with what i got

tranquil goblet
#

I went from Nintendo to pc to xbox

rustic onyx
#

prolly just cus I’ve played on xbox for almost 10 years so it’s harder to go to a new platform

#

ain’t the Series X more powerful than the PS5?

Enjoy what you have, I made the switch from the Xbox One to the PS4 and I've been happy ever since

does IPS suffer burn in?

lilac bear

IPS suffers from ligma

polar fern
#

Traditional liquid crystal displays don’t really do burn-in

#

usually what happens is the screen gets slightly dimmer after many years as the backlight ages

#

Oled displays have not really cracked the issues such as degradation from moisture sunlight damage and burn-in yet. The display technology is vastly more mature than it was just a few years ago, but it still has a ways to go before it takes over as the primary display technology that we use in everything

halcyon rapids

my old tv had that stuff

#

the brightness of the backlight went down

and there were a few spots in the screen where it didn't

Yes , my experience is great headphones, the steelseries but the plastic can break easily and replacement parts are non existent asfar as it was 2 years ago. (mileage may vary). some swear by the steelseries, but there are better seperate headphones / seperate microphones out there 🤷‍♂️

When an artist does stuff for a TV show or they have a cameo on a movie, they can make a lot of money also

sage quiver
#

Depending on your listening habits, purchasing the music you enjoy could cost you less per year than paying for a streaming service.. and compensate the artists exponentially better.

#

But it’s futile, ultimately. The convenience of streaming easily makes the decision for most.

Its because its bots mass reporting anyone that sets the stream to the corret setting giving it the 18plus tag and apparently theres some toxic communitys calling for thier members to mass report the streams because they dont "like it" .
