True, but the DEA is also under the President, and it's head is picked by the President. It is the DEAs decision, but their boss has input. I know it's not simple, but there is incredibly strong influence.

That is true. NKY is also a very blue area.

Yes it does. The drug schedule is set by the FDA which is under the executive branch. The President cannot LEGALIZE it, that takes an act of Congress. But, the drug classification is completely in their power.

Kentucky voters have historically LOVED him. Until recently that state has voted consistently for Republicans for a while, and McConnell is the most powerful Republican in the US. He is vastly responsible for the horrible shape our government is in right now.

-Newsmax and -OANN for real though....

Why does anyone still believe this to be the case? Studies have been proving this since the early 90s.

Fair point. Yes Americans are ego centric in most cases. In my original comment that got everyone panties in bunch, was because most.of the tech companies and web hosting sites are in the US, or based here, giving US law enforcement jurisdiction. I didn't know where lemmy.world.was based until someone in this thread told me.

What the fuck is “the bay area”?

The San Francisco Bay area, aka Silicone Valley, aka the BIRTHPLACE of computers. DARPA (US Military), created the internet, but when it was opened to public, again it was "The Bay Area" that made it usable to the world.

It has a little bit of importance to computing.

The FBI does work with Interpol, and every national police agency the US is friendly with.

And most of the big tech companies are based where? And most of the big hosting services are based where? So, assuming contacting the US authorities makes sense I don't know where lemmy.world is doing their hosting, but since most of the big providers are based in the US, and that would make it US jurisdiction, it isn't an unreasonable assumption.

False. The pilots are in training, and the transfer has been completely approved. There is no more delaying.

The biggest thing holding back Ukraine is the ack of air superiority. If they can gain that, they will gain ground fast

Handbrake start lololol. Rank amateur. Side step off brake to gas .

Didn't realize that. Thanks.

I assume you've contacted the FBI, but if not PLEASE DO.

Risk outweighs the rewards. Especially for something as small as lemmy. Take off the tin foil hat. It doesn't work like that. Have companies done evil things, yes, but in this case, absolutely no way.

Android was not aimed at blackberry. It was to be a completely new phone OS from the ground up and add extensive capabilities to the phone world over what the blackberry (the most popular phone at the time) could. Yes the G1 had a similar form factor to the most popular phone at the time and it wasn't even the only form. The phone in the picture was from prototype stage and never shipped in that form factor. The shipping go had a screen and button under it. The screen slid sideways to reveal a keyboard. The Motorola droid was the most popular android phone when they actually shipped. I had a droid and a coworker had a G1. Development problems and companies scared to gamble on a radical new product delayed Androids launch behind iPhones. Apple did a fantastic job of developing the iPhone in secret, knowing the Android was coming.

I think fentanyl is a great solution, if you're going to allow the death penalty, which I'm against. And it's more than just a bullet. Read the SCOTUS decision that banned firing squads. The cruel and inhuman part isn't even the pain felt, it's the terror inflicted waiting for it to happen. Psychologically it is far worse waiting for a gun shot than an injection that will put you to sleep and numb you. Mentally there is a huge difference. It is psychological terror, and therefore cruel and inhuman punishment.

No way would a company risk being caught being responsible for CP. That would cause a massive backlash in the US socially, and the legal troubles would be huge. And the stock market would also very painfully punish them.
