The constitution is a living document. Any parts found to be “problematic” were designed to be updated. Garbage like the 2nd amendment - especially- was meant to be updated. And the 13th…

The previous commenter is technically correct— since slavery was already legal, the 13th simply carves out prison labor as an exception to the ban on slavery. And, as they pointed out, the legal distinction is important when it comes to individual states banning the practice of prison slave labor.

Take a closer look at the 13th amendment. It’s not as awesome as you were taught in school.

It essentially legalizes slave labor in prisons. For everyone.

Popos is based on Ubuntu, but maintained by a separate company and has major differences. I’ve also been running it on a couple of machines for years and have been quite happy with it.

“Let them eat cake”

Well, this seems extremely illegal.

Facing the consequences of one’s actions is not a state of victimhood.

That said, this is hilarious. 😂

I’m not clicking that diarrhea site

Impressive. That’s correct.

And the Star Trek lore vs reality also isn’t exactly spot-on, but it’s close enough to be freaky.

And, one could argue, we’re also on-path for the future of The Expanse series, just due to our ongoing ecological disasters.

• Star Trek - it’s a bit fuzzy, but the Eugenics Wars start around now-ish which lead into WWIII. So far, everything is happening more-or-less how the show predicted decades ago, with few discrepancies. It’s really creepy how accurate it all turned out to be. And while we all end up in socialist space utopia, it takes humanity about 130 more years to get there after a horrific nuclear holocaust and nearly a century of rebuilding after that. Also, all major governments destroyed and 600 million dead. It’s a big price to pay to turn the page on human history.
• Fallout - like the above, but worse. In the year 2077, after decades of escalating tensions between the US and China, a nuclear war erupts, devastating the surface of the earth. Even centuries later, humans struggle to rebuild and survive.

That’s how at least 2 sci-fi franchises begin. And it’s bad.
