oh don't worry, he will be golfing. and every time he does, he will charge secret service absurd amounts of money for accomodation in his fucking country club. all these money they "save" must go somewhere.

and they are not going to send the money anyway and will simply ignore the judge.

or someone is going to change their mind...

you missed the point by thi ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... s much.

He is African American, though.... :D

i don't believe he hasn't been kennedied yet. unlike the orange cheeto, he doesn't have the SS protection.

Fun fact: unpopular is not antonym to popular.

Unpopular implies active dislike or hate. Antonym to popular is "not popular", which also includes stuff that is not actively hated, but simply ignored.

ok, i confused my message by unneccesarilly and incorrectly bringing too narrow meaning of the word antonym into it.

so: unpopular is not the same as largely ignored. just because there is not that many fans of sport on lemmy, being created largely of tech-people, doesn't mean it is unpopular, as unpopular implies active dislike, which is not the case here.

to save some googling for anyone interested:

so we have so called polar antonyms, such as cold / hot or strong / weak, which do not cover whole spectrum of choices (there is some middle ground between hot and cold).

then we have complementary antonyms, which create two disjunct sets covering whole spectrum. these are basically logical negation.

they are often created by using a prefix from the other word. american / non-american, mortal / immortal, but also entrance / exit.

the terminology also differs between languages, it definitely does between my native language and english.

North Korea is lot further in terms of keeping political power by force. Not that orange cheeto wouldn't like that, but you guys are nowhere remotely close to that.

They hoped for cheap eggs and open racism.

"draining the swamp, eliminating the deep state"

Humour is often way to deal with some problem, so you see what kind of problems are we as a society facing right now...

"The comments were reported by RIA Novosti and translated by Google."

Wtf...

It only takes a few bad actors

No, it does not. That is the whole point of the decentralized system - the few bad actors can only have power over their specific instance and you can leave it anytime you want.

So the sentiment actually does not stay ;)

At least the judge wished him godspeed before departing the courtroom, so there is that :D

Also if it’s a commercial plane as it sounds like it is traffic control and transponders kind of do that.

airplanes are routinely told to watch for a traffic in their vicinity. also, aviation is all about procedures and backups, so if someone makes a mistake, it is good if there is another link in the chain to prevent accident.

And even after four years of thinking, they have trouble putting together the fucking cabinet :D

Have you had lot of success in your life trying to hold diarrhea?

What problem do you have with the idea that no one should murder anyone in cold blood?

what problem do YOU have with it, when oc points to hypocrisy regarding israel support?

is basically right next to the number 1 on the number line that goes to infinity.

you probably meant to say 1 in (...) is right next to zero, but it is not, there is infinite number of numbers between them 😀

The chance (...) is infinitesimally small

yes, it is, but it is not zero, which is what i tried to relay. it may be just fun fact, but one day that knowledge may prove itself useful.

You winning every possible lottery every day for the rest of your life is infinitely more probable than the monkeys not writing Shakespeare

well, if you really have infinite number of monkeys, than any finite number can't compete with it.

since i made the following text before i realized i misread your statement, i'll leave it here anyway, to show how incredibly small the number in your lottery idea is.

i'll make rough estimate, based on my mini country, that there is at least 1 lotteries per 1 million people, which would make it at least 8000 lotteries existing in the world. i think it is far more, but i will err on the side of caution in these estimates.

for winning a lottery, i will count not only the big win, but also shitty wins where you buy a ticket for a dollar and win two dollars. lets say your chance of winning "something" is 1/100.

and lets say you have 40 years to live.

your chance of winning every possible lottery in the world for the rest of your life (under the assumption that you can afford the original 8000 tickets) is

that's number that has numeral one and then 233 million 600 thousand zeroes below the fraction line of the result 😜 to put that into context, it is estimated that the there are between 10^{78 to 10}82 atoms in the observable universe.
