It’s not as black and white as that; I pity people like her. They have been lied to their entire lives; first by their parents, then by other supposed trusted adults (like priests or whatever their cult calls their leaders these days), and finally by Big Brother. So to some extent, they too are victims^¥.

^¥ There are limits of course to my pity.

They have had more than enough time and access to national and world news to have figured it out in their own. The real news will be what these people - and people in similar situations - do going forward with their newfound cognitive dissonance.

The only crime he committed was not bribing the Trump administration enough to stay off the anti-trust radar. I hope they burn it all to the ground.

Looks like !tenforward@lemmy.world is leaking again.

They’re not looking at these situations at all. They’re ignoring them. Their only care is that abortion is abolished.

As a Christian….

…she figured that if a woman really needed one, she could get it.

Ignorance is bliss; until it’s not.

Occam’s Razor

You’re right that we live in unprecedented times, but judges are there to uphold the rule of law, as set forth by congress. But they are also well within their rights to push back against unconstitutional laws. This situation qualifies as unconstitutional.

Based on her inspection of his birth certificate and Social Security card, Riggans said she found no probable cause for the charge. However, the state prosecutor insisted the court lacked jurisdiction over Lopez-Gomez’s release because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had formally asked the jail to hold him.

“This court does not have any jurisdiction other than what I’ve already done,” Riggans said.

Riggans said she was very sorry as Lopez-Gomez’s mother left.

This is such bullshit. The judge is just as guilty of this racist bullshit as is ICE and anybody else willing to roll over to suck Trump’s tiny dick.

Distribution, decentralization… those ideas only serve to add unnecessary complexity to a sensitive and critical infrastructure. Instead of tweeting the baby with the bathwater, let’s work toward making these institutions not rely on or be beholden to governments. Anything else is a poor man’s Band-Aid to the problem.

FWIW, I agree with your concerns, but not the proposed solutions. Regardless, these are the types of discussions we all should be having for our critical infrastructure.

Decentralizing a foundation such as CVE would do more harm than good. For things like git or the fediverse it makes perfect sense, but the last thing I want something like the CVE to be is fragmented. We need a single source of truth for this.

Now setting up a non-profit foundation and cutting dependence with governments is a good thing, but it’s not the same as decentralized.

Goddamnit.

Not quite a disease, but it is true that as you get older your body chemistry can and will change; which can include how you smell.

You’re low key proving my point about how people think.

It’s not about them actually being the same.

What @lowleekun@ani.social is saying is that no one sees themselves as the bad guy, regardless of what their opponents think.

Sssh. 🤫 we don’t want to ruin the funny. 😁

A little of both.

According to Steve Spangler, he used Diet Coke not because it’s more reactive, but because it didn’t contain sugar , and thus made cleanup much easier than with regular coke.

Found it, and I was slightly mistaken:

Why should you use diet soda? The simple answer is that it just works better than regular soda. Some people speculate that it has something to do with artificial sweeteners. More importantly, diet soda does not leave a sticky mess to have to clean up. Hey, that’s important for your clean up! [Source]

Assuming that the truck isn’t transporting bottles and cans of soda for convenience and grocery stores.

How so?

National security, the economy, welfare, etc are not meant for the likes of me and you. It’s meant for the rich and powerful, and all of the above is working exactly as it should… for them.
