Yes, ethically it's a very bad look. But I'm not a registered Democrat (or anything else) so I don't have a say in how they run their organization.

I'm sure that will be blamed on someone else. Probably trans people.

I'm beginning to think you might be trolling based on your responses. In case I'm wrong...

The simple answer to your question was that people who voted in the Democratic Party primary didn't want him to be their nominee. Of course you're asking why.

In 2020, Sanders had the lead and the party leaders decided "guys, we can't run a Socialist Jew against Donald Trump, so we need to pick a candidate and go with him." A ton of people vying for the nomination dropped out and endorsed Biden. Their supporters voted according to the endorsements and we ended up getting Joe Biden.

ETA: To be clear the Democratic Party is a private organization and they can do whatever they want. It's completely within their rights to say "we need to stop Bernie Sanders" and put in action a plan to do just that.

I think the Democrats are too far right, but that's not what lost them the election. What lost them the election is that voters think the President controls the price of groceries, and if cheaper groceries means killing a lot of brown people, that's a small price to pay.

No one can answer that question but you.

The President can pardon anyone he wants for any federal crime as long as it's backward looking. He can't pardon someone for something that will happen in the future.

The President does not have the power to abolish pardons.

Needing an ID is fine in theory, but in practice many older folks who do not drive do not have one. In order to get one you need a certified birth certificate. In order to get one of those you usually need to deal with a lot of red tape, especially if you were born at home in a rural area.

People often forget how rural the US is. Sometimes it's hard to document exactly who you are. Especially if you were born poor and black in the South.

Could ask if she and her son wants to get dinner sometime with you and your son. As long as it's a pretty inoffensive family restaurant, that shouldn't be too forward. From there you can get a better understanding of her situation.

If not fluent, yes you'll have a hard time. I've been there and outside of the tourist areas, people either can't or won't speak English.

I do recommend the USVI if the language barrier is a problem.

I had a disc-based MP3 player. The looks on my friends faces when I had 150 songs on my discman and they had 12.

Exactly. You said it better than I did.

The way I feel about it is that I don't want Lemmy to grow for growth's sake. I want people to understand how important it is to use open protocols and free software to communicate with others and that is what will lead Lemmy and other Fediverse applications to grow.

If you think it's a violation, report it. If they do nothing with it...you're out of luck.

The rules for any instance boil down to, at their most basic level, "every moderation decision is up to the people who run their instance, and there is no appeal."

It seems like fedia.io is a difference instance. You can ask lemmy.world to defederate from them. You can also block the instance yourself. Go to your settings and at the bottom block the instance.

Everything is political. What you eat. What software you use. What car you drive.

I think it's fine. And if you like it great. I'm not here to tell people they can't like it.

But they very hard sell the whole "butter burger" thing and dude, they're the same as regular burgers.

Eraserhead

You are a person who likes to eat.

I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.

I fear that you will not many of these kinds of people on Lemmy. If you really want a good answer, you'd have to post it somewhere like Twitter or Truth Social.

No. A trademark is to tell a customer that a certain good was made by a certain person or company. This is prevent confusion over which company makes a thing. It's why you can't create an operating system kernel and call it Linux. You can create a clothing company and call it Linux though because no one would be confused that Linux clothing is in any way related to the computer operating system component.

Band names can and are trademarked. So you can't call your new band "The Beatles" or "Five Finger Death Punch". Titles are subject to copyright though, which is a separate thing altogether.

Yes and it's likely that they will not be allowed to any longer after Google lost their anti-trust case.
