You can't use a Fourth Amendment exception to seize First Amendment-protected materials. The Supreme Court made that clear, but it needs to be made even clearer.

    Remember that to be considered obscenity a written or photographic or filmed work must appeal to carnal base desires, have no redeeming scientific, artistic, literary, political or useful value, and must be found to be obscene by a jury. The burden of proof is on the state to prove that a work is obscene rather than the burden of proof being on the person to prove it isn't. Innocence until proven guilty must be upheld and any abridging of the right to free speech must be met with extreme justification and must only be used when there is no other way and subject to judicial review. The fact that the state branded the bookstore has no weight, the state must prove that the bookstore is knowingly distributing obscenity.

      It can look even floatier once you do it right. I was thinking of a double-jump as just hitting the jump key twice, like a double-click. But it's timing-based: hit it at the apex of the jump to jump the highest. It basically makes a new jump from wherever you are at that point. A real gamer probably would have known that.

    0:42 What you call “oppression” is just your bias against how people lived in Europe back then, and I bet you’d find many of the Pagan religions which Christianity replaced to be far more detestable than Christianity is to you. Christians had their own fair share of achievements even during the dark ages, and they did it under all the stresses of Islamic and Viking Invasions, as well as being cut off from the rest of the world by Islamic Piracy. Do you not know what the Byzantine Empire was? The Roman Empire was still around in the East, and that’s where all the Greco-Roman texts were kept until its fall in 1453 by the ottoman Turks. Those texts re-emerging throughout Europe were what revitalized Europe and kicked off the renaissance, all that ancient material including original copies of the New Testament were safely preserved by refugees from the Byzantine Empire. The only reason all the Roman stuff in the West was destroyed was because of the utter chaos that followed the collapse of government in the region. How long do you suspect a massive empire could have any of its institutions or literature upheld with barbarians invading and everyone struggling to survive?

    Yeah, I've seen Christians try to pull this stuff in debates in recent years. Maybe it was prevalent beforehand but I wasn't paying attention. They lure libertarians, atheists, secular types, etc. in by asking to debate "libertarianism vs. Christian nationalism" or something like that and then immediately drag things into metaphysics and epistemology. It's a deceptive tactic that naturally catches people untrained in philosophy flat-footed and drags the debate away from what it was originally supposed to be about. You get two hours of is/ought back and forth or "what you consider good comes from Christianity so be a Christian!!" This happened to Dave Smith earlier this week with some Christian debate guy and LiquidZulu last year(?) when he "debated" Jay Dyer
