Specifically the 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th. Even using originalism, the beliefs of the founders in 1788 is not relevant, what is relevant is the belief of Congress and the state houses when they ratified these amendments.

They mean pretty heavily on the second amendment, which wasn’t part of the original text.
They believe amendments are the only way to deviate from previous interpretations.
Blacks were freed and nonblacks and women were given the right vote, as well as all other rights based on amendments.

This is absurd: the constitution as it was originally written clearly allows a process of amending it, and the framers immediately amended it with the Bill of rights (ratified 3 years after the constitution was ratified).
Originalists understand and agree with this.

Even MAGATS can’t tell middle aged white men apart.

It’s weird to think you can’t learn about history unless the products of our worst behaviors are lovingly preserved…
But also she apparently wouldn’t have learned anyone’s names had she toured the site.

And the Trumpy fuckers know this-
Elon Musk's first big layoff at Tesla was for 86 people in one pant, and 420 at his other plant.
He wasn't planning to kill Tesla, those employees, or weed.

You’ve yet you advance a single argument on the topic at hand.
As a reminder, OP’s thesis was that young kids today are dumber and lazier than past generations.
I disagree and presented arguments and siurces. You attacked me instead of providing supporting evidence. What’s that called again?

I bet that sounded really cool and original in your head

And you couldn't, because book purchases haven't significantly changed, and statistically, this generation is doing just as well or better as previous generations, just like every generation before them.
comment in response to
post
That said, not really the fallacy of the wolf, either, as I'm pointing out you're sill using the same anecdotal fallacy used by previous generations. You're not using any statistical evidence showing book purchase declines or major declines in educational attainment.
comment in response to
post
Pointing out that kids have always been cheating and teachers and older generations have always complained this generation is different and will be the downfall of society- you could accuse me of the fallacy of the wolf, but not ad hominem or tu quoque.
comment in response to
post
Apparently you don't hold yourself to that same standard, since neither logical fallacy was used, and definitely not "blatantly."
Pointing out anecdotal cases of kids cheating in class and stating they won't be able to read books is insane and baseless.

Ah yes, the last 6,000 years of these complaints were definitely a false alarm, but you've figured it out! The past 30 years are definitely it, and we're finally facing the end that's been predicted by literally every generation before you!

Two decades ago when I was teaching college kids, they were talking about the advancement of homework helping websites that would write original papers and do organic chemistry homework for you.
And yet, we still have great writers and scientists that are now grad students and professors.
comment in response to
post
So your argument is that tech gets better with time?
Crazy.
You know what else gets better? The tech to detect cheating, and the skills of good teachers to detect cheating.

This has literally been the exact complaint... FOREVER.

I've never used ChatGPT-I am very much an old
I've spent all my years hearing old people complaining about technology making it too easy for the young, and them having no skills or discipline
The irony is that the olds are always the ones ignoring history

As was the ability to use spell and grammar check 20 years ago, or the ability to do complex calculus equations 20 years before that.
And just like with those advances, good teachers can lay traps that catch dumb and lazy students and wash them out.
comment in response to
post
Ah yes...
And 20 years ago we did it to... violate copyright laws and download more CDs and movies...
20 years before that they did it to get really big puffy hair...
20 years before that it was cruising down Woodward Avenue and get high...

The olds are complaining about the current generation being lazy and stupid?
Revolutionary. This has never before happened in human history.

Huh?
I’m a nazi because I said genocide is bad regardless of who does it or the ethnicity of the victims.
You’re unintelligible and foaming at the mouth.
Bye!
comment in response to
post
My conviction is to not blame victims of genocide for my problems.
I didn’t say I won’t personally choose the lesser of two evils.
You spend a lot of time making up who you think I am in order to fit your narrative.

You assholes are out here actively hoping innocent children get measles or starve to death because you don’t like their parents.
You have no moral compass. You are the same trash as trump, just wrapped in a slightly nicer veneer.

Despite all of this, progressive Muslim leaders like Mehdi Hasan and Ilhan Omar ENDORSED Harris, while Harris and Biden worked to get them removed from their media jobs, it thrown out of Congress.

What are you talking about?
Who targeted Dems?
Pelosi, Schumer, and AIPAC spent more than $100 million dollars targeting pro-Palestine democrats in safe seats during the primaries.
Progressives didn’t go after democrats, democrats went after progressives

You’re a moron that doesn’t know what you’re talking about.
I voted for and campaign for Harris.
I just refuse to blame Palestinians because of her garbage campaign.
You can take your bigotry and shove it up your own ass.
comment in response to
post
Yet you don’t care. You don’t blame them at all. Instead you’re literally attacking the Palestinian victims. Again, speaks loudly about your lack of character.

Why the fuck was Biden actively supporting a genocide carried out by a person who was actively making sure neither he nor Harris would get elected?
You wanna talk about shooting yourselves in the foot? Continuing to support Netanyahu was clearly Biden and Harris doing exactly that.

But also- what the fuck- Netanyahu is the one blocking aid, and Netanyahu ACTIVELY campaigned for Donald Trump-
If you hate trump and everyone that helped get him elected, why not direct that hate are Netanyahu?

Actually, there were large periods of time when food wasn’t getting in under Biden, and at no time since October 2023 did they ever receive even 1/4 of the amount of food required to sustain 2 million lives.
Bragging that you’re starving the people slower than you opponent is inhumane.

Would you actively support and campaign for someone killing your family members because you were afraid the person they were running against would kill even more of your family members?
I can’t fault someone who couldn’t stomach voting for this:

And what the fuck are you talking about they don’t listen to Palestinians you patronizing piece of shit? We’re talking about Palestinians, who had far lower turnout than they did in 2020, and a plurality of those that turned out voted for Stein.
comment in response to
post
“Why didn’t they support the genocide lite guy over the guy over the genocide extreme guy?” Is a truly sucked up statement.
We’re not talking about people that voted for Trump, we’re talking about people that couldn’t get themselves to vote for someone that was actively killing their families.

The fact you don’t care about 2 million innocent people being actively and purposely murdered by US supplied weapons is pretty telling about your character.
I won’t fuck off, but you’re welcome to go fuck yourself.

There's a historic level of protests right now.
Your only argument is to deny reality- again, you're essentially a Trumper.

I'm a lifelong democrat that's voted for every democratic presidential nominee since 2004, and I never said a negative word about Jews, just defending the humanity of Palestinians.
You're truly an awful human and I'll mute your genocidal garbage now.

"Years ago"?
It's *only* been 1.5 years, and Israel has refused to agree to an end to the war in exchange for a release of all hostages that entire time.
No food has been allowed in for 2 months- you're no better than Trump.

If not, we have to vote for these democrats that are arming and campaigning for a genocide and doing nothing to restore lost rights, otherwise we'll lose our entire democracy.
They held our entire democracy hostage and said we either pledge them active support forever or they'll let it die.

But what happens in 2026 if we had won in 2024? We have to win the senate again to make sure we can get democratic nominees approved if anyone dies or retires. And 2028? Have to win again, and 2030, and 2032, and 2034...
You think both Alito and Thomas will die by 2036?

but they literally offered no plan to fix the courts or restore the human rights that were taken- their only campaign was to prevent Republicans from rolling back rights even further. They actively talked about stopping Thomas or Alito from being replaced by a Republican nominee. 2/4
