Many different kinds of organizations are organized as corporations. Charities, newspapers, churches, etc. If the amendment was not carefully written, it could be construed to deny important rights, such as press freedom or religious freedom, to organizations that really ought to be protected. Similarly, the protections against unwarranted search and seizure or taking of property for pubic use without compensation should probably continue to cover corporations.

Really, the only problem I see WRT corporations having constitutional rights is the decision that political spending is protected speech. The other constitutional rights are generally not problematic.

So maybe something like this:

1. No person, whether natural born human or legal fiction, shall spend, donate, or otherwise make valuable contributions to any candidate or campaign, if said person is not entitled to vote in the election for such candidate or campaign.

2. Only natural born human beings shall be entitled to vote in any election.

From a national security standpoint of the government, it absolutely does matter who has the data.

TestDisk and PhotoRec. TestDisk can recover broken drive partitions, PhotoRec can recover deleted files even if the partition table is borked.

There’s an entire Star Trek instance (startrek.website) that followed the /r/daystrominstitute community from reddit during the Exodus.

Left4Dead2. Infinitely replayable, multiplayer without being toxic (except Versus mode), simple enough for n00bs to not be a burden most of the time.

A large bottle of cologne. Plausible gift that makes them think they smell bad.

You can collect unemployment after quitting if you have a good cause for quitting.

I’m the building superintendent.

My landlord pays me to live in my apartment rather than the other way around.

PSA: gog.com sells versions of Armada and Hidden Evil that work on modern systems.

The Voyage Home is the first movie I remember seeing. I was around 3 years old and my parents took me to see it at a drive in theater. It remains my favorite Trek movie.

Because that would violate the prime directive.

Shut up and keep looking apologized to.

But also note that 99% of the victims of the guillotine during the French revolution were innocent commoners, most of the nobility escaped abroad long before the reign of terror started, and the final victim of the terror was the guy who had been in charge of it.

“Here come the test results: ‘You are a horrible person’. That’s what it says, ‘a horrible person’. We weren’t even testing for that!”

I just use Everything desktop search and let the files fall where they may.

Just lemmy in a browser for me. Never used facebag or twatter or others besides reddit.

More like, “I want a sandwich but i can’t afford one. I guess I’ll go become a porn actor or a prostitute to earn money"

I want Roland Emmerich to make a movie out of the short story A Pail of Air.

tl;dr/spoiler: ~20 years ago, a black hole passed through the solar system and captured the Earth, dragging it inexorably away from the Sun. This causes great earthquakes, tsunami, and other immediate civilization-ending catastrophes, but the real disaster comes when the atmosphere freezes and falls like snow to the ground. The original story follows a young boy born after the cataclysm whose chores include collecting buckets of frozen air.
