But how much is 5 100TB HDDs?

If you're able to get enterprise ssds, you could get 16tb ssds... But no clue what minimum order sizes are like for that kind of thing. But of you wanted to use 16tb ssds instead of buying a house 100% down payment, that's an option probably.

What percent of facebook users would document their content and report their removal to HRW? 1000 reporting to HRW because their comments got removed from facebook seems funny. I certainly wouldn't think to report [email protected]'s mods to a human rights organization if they removed this comment or banned me for posting something pro-palestine on another community.

Some 3rd parties have ran ineligible candidates. If they actually won, the electors wouldn't actually cast their votes for them, but the votes are counted and tallied AFAIK. Given these are parties that make the Green Party and Libertarian parties look like first parties, they've just been ignored.
For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B3ger_Calero

Notably, Colorado is one of the states that wouldn't let Calero on the ballot because he was ineligible.

Courts enforcing plain laws is gamesmanship?

If the RNC decides to unilaterally change their candidate to Haley or DeSantis or another candidate just because Trump is removed from a swing state ballot, I feel like Trump won't admit defeat and his supporters will just write him in or just not vote. His supporters are already distrustful of organizations like Fox. Winning any elections ever would become much more difficult for a long time.

Should we start allowing people under the legal age and non-citizens run for president without first amending the constitution to allow that as well?

If people want to change that outcome, then they should tell their representatives (the Constitution says Trump needs 2/3rds vote by both houses of Congress to be allowed to run for office in the US now) or amend the constitution. Its simply following the election laws that was accepted by the elected officials.

If that makes a difference, the RNC might just decide to go the DNC route and give themselves the power to ignore delegates and just pick a candidate if they so feel like.

But it's not. There is no question: it's explicitly laid out in the Constitution. Amending the Constitution is a political question. Or just abandoning the Constitution is an option. And of course the Constitution gives Congress the political power to re-add someone to the ballot by a political vote. The Court did what they should (except I think there is legitimate legal question about whether this should only have applied to the final ballot instead of primaries). What is done next is the political part.

So courts should just violate the law to keep trump on the ballot? Why even have courts?

Congress can overturn it or you can pass a constitutional amendment changing the Constitution to fix it.

Because not liking two different things is definitely equivalent to saying they're the same. Pantser is definitely the one doing a false equivalence and definitely not hypnotoad.

Didn't he supposedly keep a copy of it by his bed at some point? Seems like a weird book to just keep around for decor. Whether he ever finished it is a separate issue, but I think it's fair to assume he's at least read parts of it.

Especially when Netflix gives you like 2 seconds to cancel it skipping the ending themes and doesn't give you any option to disable that, so by the time you have the app running, it's already playing the next episode.

Granted, getting out of bed to try to stop it by using physical buttons would take several times as long.
