Most (70%+) Iranians would welcome the U.S. getting rid of the Mullahs, freeing them.

From the article ...

The chat included Vice President JD Vance; Secretary of State Marco Rubio; the national security adviser, Michael Waltz; and others, but not the acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Christopher Grady, the highest-ranking military official.

Mr. Parnell said that “military leadership are frequently not included in political meetings.”

That question/point is answered in the link that I supplied above.

There also a comment from a mod in there that you should read.

Amongst other things, yes.

Activision User Research Union-CWA is the first group of video game user researchers to form a union

So what exactly about their users do they research?

Man, this current age of AI really sucks.

From the article ...

GNOME sysadmin Bart Piotrowski shared on Mastodon that only about 3.2 percent of requests (2,690 out of 84,056) passed their challenge system, suggesting the vast majority of traffic was automated.

So what did you see?

They want to bomb Yemen, basically

And "hate having to bail out the EU again".

Double check me on this, but I think they have a "-site:" parameter that you can use in your searches.

Lemmy is a lot of different inter-connected sites, most of which don’t even contain “Lemmy” in their name, making it a much more difficult ask.

A search engine could easily enough set up their own Lemmy server to search from. Same with Mastodon.

I notice you asked for an explanation and then only sort-of read the first sentence.

No, I read the whole thing, fully. I just disagreed with your analogy, thought it was a bad one, too verbose and obfuscating of the subject being talked about. Also it didn't cover someone searching your belongings with/without your permission, the subject being talked about. Law officials have more legal leeway to detain you than they do to search your belongings without your permission, so your analogy doesn't work (especially when you throw in beatings into it).

Also, didn't think your last paragraph was legally accurate, but didn't want to bother arguing the point, since 'amendment > law > policy/rule' is a well-known given. I'm aware of the difference. When I asked my original question, it was to confirm if the border enforcement people were actually honoring the 4th amendment, or not, whatever their thought processes were.

I did appreciate you taking the time to reply (and civilly at that) though, thank you. P.S. I hope the tone of my reply wasn't too harsh, it wasn't meant to be rude, just straightforward.

"May I have your permission to search through your phone?"

"Yes."

Consent in a situation like this is difficult to establish, to the point of it being pointless.

Hard disagree.

Did they ask him if they could search and he said yes, or no? Or did they just take his device away from him and did a search without his permission?

Consenting to a search, or have one mandated by a judge's order, is one of the fundamental pillars of citizen rights and laws in this country.

Was it a legal or illegal search? That's not a pointless question to ask.

It’s not that. They already can have their own schools. It’s just they want to take our money to pay for them

But there's certain things they couldn't do in the past, if they wanted the fed money. Now that those policies and mandates are going away, they can do whatever they want, they can go hardcore, for lack of a better description.

If you’ve been reading the newspapers over the last year or two, you’ve seen various States try to pass various rules about the Bible or the Ten Commandments. They weren’t doing that in private schools; private schools already could do that, right?

IANAL, but no, for constitutional reasons, as well as getting money from the feds if they don't do it, versus sacrificing that money if they do do it.

The US Department of Education doesn’t mandate any curriculum from the federal level. States set their own curriculum guidelines.

Nobody said that is what is currently being done. They do affect a general direction though, keep everyone "on the same page", via policies/mandates.

From HERE ...

Today, ED operates programs that touch on every area and level of education. The Department's elementary and secondary programs annually serve nearly 18,200 school districts and over 50 million students attending roughly 98,000 public schools and 32,000 private schools. Department programs also provide grant, loan, and work-study assistance to more than 12 million postsecondary students.

The Department carries out its mission in two major ways. First, the Secretary and the Department play a leadership role in the ongoing national dialogue over how to improve the results of our education system for all students. This involves such activities as raising national and community awareness of the education challenges confronting the Nation, disseminating the latest discoveries on what works in teaching and learning, and helping communities work out solutions to difficult educational issues.

Second, the Department pursues its twin goals of access and excellence through the administration of programs that cover every area of education and range from preschool education through postdoctoral research.
