If DJ wants to do a fun math problem, what’s the most weighted average geographic location between:

Barnaby
Cucho
DJ
Sixty
Nighthawk
Timh
Wuster
Darkstar

Bermuda? Vegas?


Hère, DJ:

Midpoint formula
This mathematical tool can be used to find the midpoint of three points in Cartesian coordinates. The formula is [(x)1 + (x)2]/2, [(y)1 + (y)2]/2

With Cucho being so far south and darkstar and nighthawk living on Endor I'd guess Cuba.

Tym and I on the West Coast counterbalance the Ewoks.

If you and Timh both come, I will fly one in just for this

If we do Caribbean, can we do a nice island instead of a scary one?


7-8 of the locations have at least one casino / poker room :)

Much like his Candadian compatriot, he both needs our help and deserves government support to understand DEI.

It is what it is... :V

I mean, come on, obviously.

It's honestly shocking how many rights illegal immigrants have.

The only argument I'd accept as to why they should have the right to keep and bear arms is that if you make that distinction for illegal immigrants, it might be used to justify illegal search and seizures of and from people who are here legitimately (like legal immigrants, and US citizens).

But, that's probably a fairly legitimate argument, and it has a lot of precedence with other similar issues - like ID requirements, proof of legal status requirements, etc.

Since they basically said that illegal immigrants under US law aren't people, you could in theory use the ruling as an argument to toss out all protections this would mainly be rights regarding the legal system. They also defined the the last part of the equal protection clause which states "nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws" So states could in theory start making citizenship requirements for schools.

That article didn’t say they aren’t people as in human beings, but rather The People, as in citizens of the US.

It’s kinda weird tho. Defendant essentially saying I don’t respect your country’s laws but I demand its protections

"The Second Amendment protects the right of ‘the people’ to keep and bear arms. Our court has held that the term ‘the people’ under the Second Amendment does not include illegal aliens" therefore the argument can be made that illegal aliens are not the people who are granted any of the other protections such as due process and the rest. Which is what i was implying, but I guess i wasn't clear on that.

My support for illegal alien rights exists mostly to avoid abuse of Latin Americans who are in our country legally. I don’t know of any reason why, for example, we’d be schooling children who are not here legally. Being here legally changes everything for me, but I’m not at all sure why that distinction is even political. I’ve always found it a bit weird, if I’m honest. It’s certainly one of the places where I disagree with Democrats. If there were a way, without disadvantaging actual American citizens (and that’s really hard to do), I would be in favor of much stricter laws.

Tbf to me, before I get accused of some nonsense, I’m also in favor of greatly expanding access to immigration to the US, alongside harsher penalties for violating immigration laws. This is not some anti Latin American position, or xenophobia, I’m just pro laws.
