There are tribes that refer to themselves as nations, like the Cherokee Nation for example. I don’t really know if there’s a specific meaning to “nation” vs using some other word. I used “entity” in order to try to avoid using a more nuanced word incorrectly. The tribes have sovereignty is all I meant.
I’m not really sure what Gorsuch was getting at with his question, but my understanding is that Native Americans are not citizens by the 14th amendment, because tribes are sovereign entities, and therefore fall into the “not subject to the jurisdiction” part of that amendment. However, they are granted citizenship by the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.
I occasionally use it to find links to VODs for esports tournaments. Asking it to only link the specific game I want with no other summarization is a way to find them without spoilers (like when youtube “helpfully” suggests the last game of the grand finals of the tournament as a search result).
I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise
Ok, the wikipedia page for bisphenol does mention skin absorption.
Is this a “don’t lick the headphones” thing, or can these chemicals be absorbed through the skin?
“America, regardless of what so-called international institutions say, is unleashing the most lethal and precise air power campaign in history,” Hegseth said at a March 2 press conference. “No stupid rules of engagement.”
I started reading this quote thinking it was someone critical of the administration, but no, it’s Hegseth himself. They’re fucking proud of their atrocities.
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of atrocity.
Even if nothing comes of it, it’d be better than doing nothing. Congress should do what they can, not just roll over.
If you were to make a list of prominent evil people these days, you certainly wouldn’t be starved for choice, but Ken Paxton seems to be vying for a spot near the top.
No option for “a little AI, maybe, where it makes sense, but don’t go crazy with it” option, I see.
But first they have to finish the hearing on whether water is wet.
Just the first two syllables would be Worcester, which is also a place.
I go back to play some nethack pretty regularly.
Nice. I’m happy to see RCV more in any context. Get it into the conversation, if nothing else.
Were electrons supernatural before we had the laws to describe them? Would something that’s supernatural now still be supernatural if we came up with laws describing its behavior?
What does it really mean to be supernatural? What’s the difference between, say, a ghost and dark matter? We don’t really know what either one is. Is it that we can reliably find evidence of dark matter, even if we don’t know what it is, so it’s not “super” anymore? It seems to me that “supernatural” is just a name for the ones we don’t actually believe in.
Certainly the relationship between the US government and Native American tribes is… well, obviously “complicated” is a gross understatement. But the Supreme Court found in Elk v. Wilkins that Native Americans born on Indian reservations were not citizens because they are not subject to US jurisdiction. Hence the Indian Citizenship Act. Native Americans pay federal taxes because they are US citizens.
