For phones imagine if the twitter app could do a text only version of your feed using a voice call. I'd imagine a fax sounding or dial up modem sounding call but if that ran afoul of some laws about data transmission it could be text to speech and then speech back to text where it's a computer voice talking really really fast.

I knew about the experiments and I knew about the 80/20 rule but I didn't connect them until just now. You can only change 20 percent of minds with facts and logic on an individual basis, the other 80 percent require different means like erosion of trust in authority on a macro societal scale, being convinced by a lover or desiring to conform to a small circle of people they want to belong to in a pseudo family dynamic.

That's interesting. But even though in practical terms the constitution is being modified like this constantly isn't an amendment technically required to change it?

I think there have always been autistic people, so maybe it's epigenetic and much more common now being activated by vaccines. There has to be some kind of evolutionary advantage of having rare individuals in the tribe who can see things in completely different ways. Or maybe Aspergers and autism never should have been conflated and are distinct conditions.

He could hedge his bet and end it under current interpretation of the law by granting temporary diplomatic immunity to every baby born here to foreign nationals. There's nothing to lose with that tactic, it's not like a baby is going to go on a murder spree and it would be tougher for the judiciary to knock down, the president definitely has the authority to do that.

It's cheaper than a 12 week maternity leave and subsequent health care coverage for a dependent. Win-win for Dick's, save money and virtue signal at the same time. Or at least that's what they think.
