  • I’m from Japan. They don’t even have judges as corrupt as SCOTUS and still don’t allow same sex marriage because the ruling party is conservative. Well, the court ruled it’s unconstitutional, but we learned that a law in this country can stay unconstitutional if the government ignores the situation. And apparently 90% of the people (at least on the internet) support that because they are conservative.

    Makes me realize how broken my country is. It doesn’t even count as corruption because it’s lawful. Fucking hell…







  • an engineering manager said during an interview, “OK, we’re going to build a To Do List app right now,” a process that might normally take weeks.

    Tbf you can do that in one day with ChatGPT, although it requires some generic software engineering skills. But that’s the point.

    Even if you don’t complete the task, the process of coding can prove your skill level in a positive way.


  • IANAL, but I dare guess judges do need beliefs. In the beginning, people thought Black people were not humans, and so equality of people in constitution did not apply. I might be factually wrong on this, but let’s assume it. To overcome this, some judges had to abandon their racism and understand black people are people.

    And while some areas of human issues can be discussed scientifically, like racism being completely wrong, some are difficult.

    And if science can’t overcome an unjust law today, judges have to listen to their heart and do the right thing. Probably the left thing these days, though…
