And they both serve under a man with an artificial heart. Genetic enhancement is illegal, but cyborgs are a-ok?

The Court has continued to uphold the doctrine but also steadily narrowed the grounds on which fighting words are held to apply.
Not a lawyer, but the subsequent cases seem to limit the doctrine so much that it hasn’t really been upheld at all. Basically now you can’t be charged with assault if both parties literally agree to fight. Everything else sure seems to be covered as free speech.

Whatever you pay in insurance is unlikely to cover the damages won by an injured party. That money is coming out of the pockets of people who will never cause an injury.
Good drivers subsidize the assholes.

Perhaps I’m just one of “the olds” who doesn’t get modern technology, and this is why I’m having a real difficult time imagining why I, or anyone, would ever spend time looking something up when the factual correctness is optional to begin with.

The ISS orbits at about 400km. The distance to the moon is about 385,000km. From the moon, and especially the sun, the Earth and ISS are basically in the same place, so the phase of the moon doesn’t appreciably change in low earth orbit.
A werewolf on Europa (and others) could be in a full moon much more often. Even on the side facing away from the sun, it may still have plenty of light due to the reflection from Jupiter.
Maybe they would have to hide away from society once per month whenever they turn into a human monster?

LPT: it’s safe to tune out and ignore anything from unironically self-described “alpha (anything).”
I also know a Tad. It’s not some cringe 2000s kid, either, this guy has to be 70 or thereabouts.
I’ve always thought of it like a d20. For every role we occupy, we show a different facet on top. Some facets remain visible despite not being the “dominant” one, but others are hidden on the other side.
No single face is our “true self” but they are all a part of who we are.
Come out to Starbase 80, we’ll get together, have a few laughs…
Not for 3+ years. Try a new strawman.
