considering he can just lock anybody who opposes him up

He cannot. He says he can and will, but he has absolutely no legal authority to order people’s arrest or imprisonment.

This is a picture of Tehran’s upper class youth from the 70’s, and it is often posted as if it were everyday life in Iran.

Spoiler: The rich in Iran can still do whatever they want.

First Windows install/run:

1. Protracted install with DRM.
2. Download NIC drivers on another PC and put them in a flash drive.
3. Install NIC drivers on the new PC.
4. Install most other drivers with Windows Update.
5. Hunt down other missing drivers from manufacturer websites, some don’t have installers and need to be installed via device manager.
6. Change Windows settings so that the OS isn’t constantly nagging you with ads for Microsoft products and services.
7. Download software you use individually from different websites and install them one at a time, each with their own unique installer. Force the OS to respect your defaults as best you can.
8. Never fully have control over your own computer, because Daddy Microsoft says so.

First Linux install/run:

1. Express install.
2. Hardware just works.
3. Run updater.
4. Install software quickly from store(s) - with a script if you want to.
5. The computer is yours.

Immunizing Trump as an individual from prosecution related to acts performed as President, while deeply problematic, will not prevent legal challengs his EO’s. Striking down a president’s EO is completely different than convicting a president with a crime.

The bridge is necessary because BlueSky and Mastodon cannot federate, and they never will be able to. ActivityPub and ATProto are different protocols.

Trump is literally filling his cabinet with people he things will “trigger the libs”. It’s honestly quite beautiful watching him set himself of for complete and utter failure. This was always the state of right-wing politics, now the brainrot has full control over the Government.

Like last time, I think the only campaign promise he’ll be able to keep will be cutting taxes for the rich. Outside of that, this admin is going to be a complete chaotic disaster.

This is absolutely the wrong person for the job (if you’re Trump). This is basically good news.

Gaetz has literally no demonstrable experience as an attorney that would help him in this role. He got his license to practice law in 2008 and has periodically worked at Keefe Anchors & Gordon where he only practiced real estate, employment, property insurance, and contract law and later lost his law license because he forgot to pay his dues (while in office, where having that kind of credential could be valuable). KAG (now AnchorsGordon) appears to mostly have employed him as a political tool, not as a legitimate attorney that represented their clients directly. There are few if any legal documents with his name on them, so he very likely did very little actual legal work during his employment there.

Since then over 400 alumni of his Alma Mater have described him as “unfit to write or determine the law”.

This is a position you want a competent and experienced attorney serving your administration. Gaetz may be a yes-man for Trump, but this is a massive strategic mistake for him and his goals. Trump’s proposals so far are absolutely guaranteed to be challenged by the courts if he moves on them, and Gaetz is going to be literally the worst possible representative you could choose to try to defend your admin in that scenario.

This article literally calls them antisemites.

In China? I mean, there were two back to back incidents, but to my understanding not a pattern.

I didn’t say it brought USA into the war

You literally did

Ya, CCCP started it all with Hitler, the USA was forced in to the war.

Now, perhaps this isn’t what you meant to say. It is, however, what you said

What information did you add to your worldview that led you to embrace hatred as a political ethos?

An OF girl, who absolutely knows other OF girls, thinks you’re nice and fun to be around, despite your obvious horniness?

She’s gonna hook you up. OP fucked up if this is where he gave up. A single guy having an OF girl as a close friend is how you end up being a stage cock for her friends to suck, and you’ll get a cut of the dough.

Bro was this close to getting paid to have his dick sucked, but he had no patience.

Alright, let’s clear this up. The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact wasn’t what brought the US into WWII. That pact was a non-aggression agreement between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed in August 1939, which allowed both powers to avoid fighting each other while they focused on expanding their influence in Europe. This agreement directly led to the invasion of Poland and the start of WWII in Europe, but it didn’t prompt US involvement.

The US didn’t enter the war until December 1941, over two years later, after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. That was the actual catalyst. Up until then, despite plenty of pro-Nazi and anti-Nazi sentiments among the populace, the US had largely followed an isolationist policy, though they supported the Allies with programs like Lend-Lease to aid Britain. The US’s decision to go to war was mostly a response to Japanese aggression, and Germany’s declaration of war on the US shortly afterward sealed the deal for full US involvement in both the Pacific and European theaters.

So yeah, the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was important for starting the conflict in Europe, but it wasn’t why the US entered WWII.

No, this is the voter she pissed off Dem voters for…

Not sure why you said “no”, since you’re making the same point I was. This is who the party asked her to sway, and now the party is blaming her for not working hard enough to win the votes of complete fucking morons.

I could have told you that ignoring these morons and running a campaign focused on the working class, social justice, and economic fairness would have gone 1000% farther than trying to win over fence-sitters during the most divided election in U.S. history. Not sure why the Democrats ignored this, I assume they have at least one competent advisor that said this…

Hey, we’ll still have the 2nd amendment until we give them a reason to take it away. I vote we give them a really good reason to want us disarmed, but that maybe also puts them in, you know, a position where they can no longer vote to take any more constitutional rights away.

This is the voter Kamala was supposed to sway with “better messaging”.

Those aren’t rumors. The Lemmy repo is quite open about this. Lemmy’s devs are part of the Tankie problem here.

Honestly, Kbin and Mbin are looking very attractive, not being run by extremists. Lemmy, as a product, is dragged down by the Tankies that make it - just as Pleroma (a Mastodon alternative) is dragged down by the Neo-Nazis that make it.

Centralized platforms get top-down control. You’re trading your freedom for convenience.

Stop pining for the algorithms. They’re making you stupider by guaranteeing that you only see the content you want to see, and never the content you need to see.
