It’s funny that the last time this was floated by Republicans, they thought they were kicking the Democrat states out.

In other words, they thought they were keeping the Federal government.

Republican states need Democrat states far more than vice versa.

If Trump truly does win, Republicans won’t split the country. They’ll make it even more impossible to leave.

TBF…voter intimidation is likely to be coming from the Republicans. I wouldn’t trust any sort of hotline they post, even if it was in good faith.

"No no no…he’s talking about Haitians, those savages.

We Puerto Ricans are the exemption. We’re special."

I think it’s a result of trying to get support right now so you don’t get stuck waiting for someone to up vote your question or having other questions push your thread further down.

I’ve been a victim of this myself and going to Discord seems to be better getting someone to actually help you, especially for niche questions.

I’m not saying I like it but I certainly get it.

Thank you but I don’t run a Mac. I used to back in the day. I just know how anal Apple is about people using their devices in any way that they don’t specifically want you to.

I sort of get it. When you self host mastodon or lemmy, you have to deal with the moderation that comes with it. That’s a headache unless you have a ton of free time. Judging by the age distribution, I’m guessing most of us just want things to work so we can do what we enjoy.

My primary phone belongs to my work. I get a stipend every two years that essentially allows me to buy any supported phone I want.

The conditions are that it’s managed by them via MDM and all my work stuff is on the work profile side.

It is a choice I make since it allows me to not carry two phones. I did that for the first two years at my company and it was annoying.

I was today years old when I learned that you can run a custom WM on a Mac.

That’s like…the equivalent of a coca cola soda machine dispensing Pepsi.

And in terms of down votes, I don’t really care too much. It evens out overtime.

As much as I want to use F-Droid, my work blocks all third party app stores so it’s either have access to my work stuff on one phone (via profiles) or dual wield two phones.

I lack the patience to dual wield again. It’s very annoying.

I could have sworn that there was a news story of Peloci being denied the sacrament due to her supporting an abortion bill.

Former Christian here.

This is it. Criminals have (theoretically) been proven guilty. Some crimes are worthy of death.

A fetus (ahem unborn baby) has cast no sin and does not deserve death.

Christians would also say that they would never get out to death because they would never do anything wrong but when you bring up the fact that Jesus himself said you should be willing to suffer even to the point of suffering on a cross, they start changing the subject.

Overturn RvW. He campaigned on this promise and he got it.

I’m not saying it as a gotcha but there are very much things he promised and he delivered on, many of which were done via very illegal and unconstitutional executive orders.

Other “accomplishments”:

(Quick side note: I’m only counting policy based accomplishments. Things like hating on gays or hurting immigrants, while technically promises, I’m going to categorize as “legalized oppression”.)

• deregulation of the Internet (Fuck Ajit Pai)
• “building” the “wall” and having Mexico “pay” for it, done primarily via tariffs that ended up hurting Americans more but his base didn’t care (this one is a stretch but I’m counting it)
• simplified parts of the tax code that gave everyone a tax cut (ignoring the part that for lower and middle class this cut was often a few dollars while for the Uber rich it was thousands)

There are more but I need to get back to my date. 😅

Consent doesn’t matter to rich people. It’s not exclusive to Musk.

They probably wanted a completely virgin chain, one they had complete control over (socially anyway) so that they could see how it’s used and most importantly where the users come from.

Traffic court, while yes it’s a court of law, is a bit more relaxed. Judges have far more leeway and they have a long docket.

You’re not the only one being seen and the judge wants to go home on time.

Be honest, courteous. In the rare event that the police officer starts saying things that are completely egregious, plead the fifth and ask for a continuance. Tell the judge that these facts are new to you and you’ll need time to assert a defense.

The judge may ask what you thought the charges were. Say something along the lines of, “Without waiving my fifth amendment right to self incrimination, my understanding is that I’m being charged for driving with an expired license.”

But this should be rare. Judges don’t like surprises either.

Again, remember that this is traffic court. Everyone is busy. If you’re a dick, they won’t have patience for you.

The difference is that Hitler did it to solidify power within himself.

Biden would be doing it to solidify power within the People. Basically he would gain power to diffuse it. That’s why I called him the Sacrificial Lamb.

There will always be populous movements and a desire to concentrate power within the elites. But we can make it more difficult to do so.

You say this as if the next Republican president won’t do this.

The best way to fix this is with Biden being the sacrificial lamb.

Basically he executes Trump via executive order, executes the conservative justices, all standing Republicans in the Senate. Then get enough states to pass referendums for a constitutional convention.

Do the overhaul of the constitution, solidifying human rights, separation of church from state, making fascism treason, make billionaires illegal, and, for kicks, universal healthcare.

Hey, don’t wake me up from this dream, okay?

Taxiing!

With a landing/take off, there’s a likelihood (maybe small) that the plane could be traveling fast enough to avoid the bulk of the blast.

Taxiing, there’s no way.

I guess the location of the menu never really bothered me but I can understand that for folks who prefer it on the side.

Admittedly, using a local account is a challenge though not impossible. But to your point none of these things should require registry hacks.

I’ve been using Windows 11 for some time. Besides it’s terrible AI features being shoved down our throats, what’s different about it from Win10?

I don’t see too much of a difference between the two versions. The AI enshittification is relatively recent.
