Originalism would be better named “selective originalism” because it cherry picks specific parts out of context and ignores the rest. A religion of legality.
Prosecutors made the unusual decision this week to remain almost entirely mum about the order in which they planned to call their first witnesses in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York....
The real solution would be for the judge to issue a gag order that would automatically result in Trump being thrown in Riker’s if he violates it. He has had more than enough unenforced warnings across his trials that immediate contempt of court and incarceration would be reasonable in a just world.
Unfortunately we live in this one where he will only get a limited amount of time to intimidate witnesses.
Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.
As someone whose circumcision worked out perfectly fine and can’t imagine myself without one, I still think it should be banned for babies and children under 18 for any reason other than medical necessity. Even a slight risk of problems outweighs the ‘my dad did it and he turned out fine’ or religious tradition arguments.
It should not be banned for adults who voluntarily choose it for themselves though.
Which is important to keep in mind since people keep trying to equate ‘oops, here you go’ by Biden with Trump’s intentional refusal to turn over documents leading to it being necessary to have his home searched with a warrant and then claiming the documents were really his.
That part of the body, like your mouth, has features that greatly reduce the chance of infection because they are the entry and exit points for foreign objects or waste. It is complicated how it all works, but in short your body really needs those parts to bot get infected, so it adapted ways to keep that from happening.
That was the explanation I got from the doc when mine first showed up.
I know a fair number of people are waiting for the delisted coubtries to be relisted, plus the people who don’t want to change it back because the fiasco happened. Harder to recover once trust is lost.

The Summary reads as something that bans cloud seeding, which is a real thing, and not the same thing as chemtrails which is a made up conspiracy theory about intentionally spreading toxic chemicals.
Public libraries are supposed to be places for communities to gather and learn, with an important focus on being a place for kids to gain access to information. But thanks to a moral panic in the GOP about “indoctrination” in libraries, it seems that at least one library has decided to shut its door to children....
Hasn’t the failed war on drugs shown the narrative that drugs cause the homelessness and crime and are not just another symptom of the underlying problems is a lie?
Yeah, both nanotech and cybernetics are everyday things. Still very expensive, but both have mostly reached enough milestones that they go by whatever their more specific puposes are. Like prothetics with feedback aren’t called cybernetics because cybernetics is too broad a term.
Instead of “if sold on the understanding that they will remain playable indefinitely” should be switched to say unless they are sold with an understanding that they will not be playable indefinitely.
Game companies should be explicitly stating whether a game will have a limited lifespan based on things like server availability. Especially for single player games with online verification.
Last August, CEO Brian Cornell told reporters that Target learned from the backlash and said the company would be more thoughtful about merchandise decisions for heritage months that celebrate the achievements of marginalized groups.
By thoughtful they mean not celebrating the achievements of marginalized groups.
Pretty sure doctors aren’t taking the literal oath…
I swear by Apollo Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture.
Oh yeah, they don’t! Maybe if you scrolled down to the section that talks about the modern equivalent.
In the 1960s, the Hippocratic Oath was changed to require “utmost respect for human life from its beginning”, making it a more secular obligation, not to be taken in the presence of any gods, but before only other people. When the oath was rewritten in 1964 by Louis Lasagna, Academic Dean of the School of Medicine at Tufts University, the prayer was omitted, and that version has been widely accepted and is still in use today by many US medical schools:[31]
As of 1993, only 14% of medical oaths prohibited euthanasia, and only 8% prohibited abortion.[33]
They need to step up the game on pointing out he is on trial right now and then go all in if he is convicted. If they have been saying it already, then they need to figure out how to say it in a way that gets on the news.
Political campaigns tap into the same intrusive adtech tracking systems used to deliver online behavioral ads. We saw a glimpse into how this worked after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and the system has only grown since then....
The approach to privacy seems to be blaming people for not guessing how to properly hide their private information from malicious actors when people are also expected to use that same data daily to interact with the world.
How about we actually punish the ones that collect private data without consent and those that abuse private data? Like actual prison time for CEOs of companies that do these things.
Trump being worse deosn’t mean we can’t criticize Biden right now as the sitting president. I have been very supportive of the need to vote for Biden over Trump, but the Democrats need to stop doubling down on denying the atrocities in Gaza already.
Like they aren’t even using nuance or anything at this point. Threateninng the ICC is absolutely ridiculous.
You made a long ass post about people not being civil when you promote violent public state sanctioned murder. Your terrible opinion does not deserve civility any more than someone promoting lynching, which are the non-state sanctioned version of the same thing.
Asking if lemmy has peaked because of people criticizing your shitty opinion is the most butthurt thing you can do.

If we can ban trans medical procedures, why haven't we banned circumcision?
