June 25, 20223 yr given the recent overturn o' roe v. wade, we were considering which SCOTUS decisions were worst from our pov. is a disturbing number to choose from, however, near the top o' our list is the twin cases o' schenck v. united states and debbs v. united states. am not discussing the law of either case, but we recollected bernie sanders did a documentary o' eugene debbs and even read a number o' debbs speeches, including the one which sent the socialist firebrand to prison. am knowing is more than a few bernie bros on these boards and we thought we would share the linked video. aside, SCOTUS upheld the debbs conviction 9-0. sentence were ten years but President warren harding would commute debbs sentence in 1921, two years after debbs were imprisoned.

January 20, 20233 yr Author The more important and intimate the emotion, the fewer words are needed to express it. "Will you go out with me?" Six words. "I care for you." Five words. "You matter to me." Four words. "I love you." Three words. "Marry me." Two words. What's left? What's the most important and intimate word you can ever say to somebody? It's "Goodbye." - J Michael Straczynski "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
January 20, 20233 yr 21 minutes ago, Raithe said: hmmm. such exhortations are indeed intimate and heavy with emotion. is also a whole lotta single-word invective. a$$hole is an example, yes? on the less serious end o' the extreme large spectrum o' utterances deep in emotion and intimacy, sally struthers taught us, aloha means goodbye. the quoted observation might not be as profound as mr. straczynski imagined. ... admitted, it says something a smidge off-putting 'bout Gromnir that our first response to the bit o' pith you shared were, "die."

January 20, 20233 yr I'm not sure what the difference is between I care for you and you matter to me. I mean, I agree that very little words are needed the deeper a relationship gets, but I'm just not sure those phrases are the best example of that. I agree with Gromnir though. The only way 'goodbye' carries more weight than 'I love you' if it is followed by death.
