did you call it one of the potentially worst decisions in SCOTUS history for the consequences of it

I mean it was probably called Sober because my ultimate take was that while I think its had absolutely terrible and far-reaching consequences, the original decision (of should citizens united be allowed to air Hillary: the Movie leading up to the dem primaries) was correct. They realistically should have been allowed to. imo.

I still think its really really bad, I mean that’s why I did it, and obviously the fallout of this case has led to the creation of super pacs. My argument was that a truly independent organization like citizens united should have first amendment rights to produce and broadcast their take on hillary clinton leading up to an election

but that ultimately the decision led to the creation of “independent organizations” that are independent in name only and actually serve entirely to skirt campaign finance laws, and that’s bad, and something pointed out as a knock-on consequence in the dissent, and that there should still be stricter regulations on superpacs

the stats for today’s question are interesting to me – the average number of guesses is 3, most people aren’t getting this one on their first try, but the median first guess is very nearly right on! so it seems like people are ~about as likely to be overestimating as underestimating

also, there are way fewer players than I would have guessed, even for a random niche internet game. the FoL userbase is a meaningful fraction of the players! I checked a couple older days and it seems like the playercount is ~consistently in the low to mid hundreds

contrast with e.g. the Netflix one, where the median first guess was too low by an order of magnitude
