  • My guess at the Supreme Court's bullshit response:

    Failing to resign when asked is neglecting your duty.

  • They can make it really fucking suck if you're caught using it. They may be able to use drones or land based detectors to try and hone in on transmitters... but the classic response from authoritarian governments is just to escalate penalties.

  • If we can't bargain legally I suppose we just need to remind them why they gave us a legal option for union organization in the first place.

  • I may be a proud beard wearer but I support excessive use of a national razor.

  • Your horses will be hailed as heroes.

  • Calling it out harder publicly during the election would have just made a Trump presidency more likely. It's similar to how Sanders shut up after Hillary stole the primary and threw his full weight behind her train wreck or a campaign.

    People who actually give a shit don't want Trump to win and will do whatever they can to keep that from happening.

  • AoC has been highly visible in news and media so she's also giving it a go. I think one of our real issues is that leadership wise Jefferies is alright but Shumer is downright depressing.

    Over the next two years we'll see a constant push by establishment dems to push out the progressives because centrist politicians on both sides want to keep a pro-corporate status quo.

  • Foreach their own.

  • What an incredibly deep ignorance about the modern world.

    If you're curious about how countries militaries actually stack up these days I'd suggest looking into the results of some of the recent NATO joint exercises. The French military is actually quite formidable with a lot of recent heavy intervention in old colonies and anti terrorism strike force actions lately... now, nothing can really compare to the insane US military budget but France is pretty fucking serious.

    The UK is a joke, though.

    The real sleeping bears are the Baltics though. Those fucks are scared shitless of Russia and have heavily invested in widespread training in an effort to present Russia with an occupational nightmare due to partisan resistance if they ever invade.

    As a contrast while China has a shit load of stuff there was a massive amount of military supply corruption leading to a really high practical failure rate. They've got infantry for days of course, and their navy is quite serious... but there's a strong suspicion that China's airforce is much weaker than numbers would suggest.

  • That just shows up as ****** you must have excellent security software.

  • Optimistically, they're supposed to be organizing people onto the streets by calling out Trump's bullshit. I can't disagree that their actions have been underwhelming as a group so far (good on Bernie and AoC though) but I think this is a good move.

    The Trump administration is clearly willing to silence whistle-blowers so we need something outside the GOP's reach to document these issues.

  • I found the enrollment pretty straightforward when I joined. The page I found when googling "join lemmy" listed the major instances and shortly summarized the concept of federation. I don't think even mildly tech savvy people would have an issue enrolling but it'd definitely confuse my eighty year old mom.

  • It's a proud Bostonian tradition to dislike everyone. While our city has a long and dark history with bigotry I think by the time I was growing up in the 90s we achieved an egalitarian level of hate "Oh, the only thing I hate more than the Irish are the Italians, and don't get me started on the blacks, they're even worse... almost as bad as the fucking Irish." /s

  • At least we can still shit on Springfield.

  • I always liked phonetically spelling it "wuss-TAH" I've never seen someone mispronounce it after that description... it shouldn't sound like "Woosh" without the H - it should be a more narrow sound between Wuss and Wiss - for perfect accuracy throw your tongue against your teeth in wuss when you hit the S.

  • Alternatively, you can view vandalization as, essentially, a sin tax. If the person is willing to pay the cost to keep their current setup whatever... but vandalization will provide an economic motive for the victim and others around them to revise their behavior.

    Hey, let's just... let the market decide.

    I do agree that you're unlikely to make the vandal change their beliefs, but given enough vandalization you'll end up stealing Musk's money.

  • A relative of mine is a state employee... he had two reports that'd applied for transfer to the equivalent federal departments... and those two have now withdrawn their requests.

    I wish you the best of luck and I thank you for your contribution to public well being.

  • Maybe we can go for four?

  • Ah, I see you're a fan of the famed triple luigi manuver.
