I use my phone for IRC and other chat apps, it's not as easy as the
computer, but it's in my pocket, not only at home.  With IRCCloud, you
have seamless switching between devices, and some great features that
ZNC or whatever wouldn't as readily provide.  I embrace modern, but
then again I'm not Larry's retarded ass.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
