TaiShan 1989? Nothing happened there.

I can get a 430 hearing on any family member I want. Hell i can even testify if someone else needs one. So tell me why I can't go through the legal system to get an invasive one for Trump? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Did you miss the news? The president has "absolute presumed immunity for 'official' acts".

Just like the good ol' days ~/s~ where insane kings wage wars, massacres, and massive destruction.

Edit: But even assuming before 2025, when we still had the rule of law, it's up to the vice president + a majority of the cabinet to, via the 25th amendment, declare the president "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office", and then congress has 21 days to vote, via 2/3 supermajority in both houses, to finalize it and makes the VP, permanent Acting President.

Normal impeachment is easier, only takes 1/2+1 of the house and doesn't require the VP's cooperation, this convoluted "inability" clause is even harder to invoke.

Also, the then you'd have an insane Acting President, so problem isn't really solved.

I don't think its just complexity, its a semi-ghost town if you venture out of the political topics.

I mean, there was never a GoT community, The Expanse Community, Rick and Morty, Squid Game, or like even a GTA community. Inactive communities with 1 post every 3 month doesn't count.

Like this is really just a place to vent about life, and for general everyday discussions, not for topic-specific discussions.

Isn't that just a...

Trump admin warns states: Don’t try to lower broadband prices in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

it’s bad, it’s very, very bad and I am worried not enough of the thinking people see just how dumb and confused the average median voter is. They literally had no idea if there was a meaningful difference between people like Biden, Harris or Trump. There has been waves of post-election exit-polling and the number one issue people cared about was the price of groceries and they heard Trump scream about it and Harris deliver lines that “sounded like Biden, and he was the one in charge when prices went up.”

Exactly this. Democrats basically went: "I voted for the dems 4 years ago and my life didn't get better, why bother voting"

I wake up everyday panicking as if I were a living in a war zone, heartrate is like through the roof.

(For context, am American, but I'm not white and wasn't born on US Soil, and I have no friends, and my evil family that could turn against me any moment, and no one to trust.)

Average here feels like 40+

Even me being 20+, I feel like a kid interrupting adults talking lolz

I read a lot of "back in my day, there weren't smartphones" comments whenever the post talks about technology and smartphones, and I feel so left out. I mean, Smartphones have been a part of most of the life I remember. Can't really remember the world without smartphones.

Idk what I'm doing here, but reddit banned Tor, so I have no where else to anonymously ask weird questions and rant about life.

Does anyone else just not get the "loss" meme? in c/casualconversation@piefed.social
[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 17 hours ago

Its like frequently on the Lemmy front page.

I'm just thinking "why is this upvoted so much" and then go to the comments and they're are all "is this loss?".

YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world
[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 8 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

How do you even get in power to make gerrymandering illegal if this is what happens if you try "playing by the rules".

This is a state legislature, but imagine, for the national legislature, if every republican state does gerrymandering to the maximum, while every democratic state draws fair borders, what do you think happens if the democrats win 55% of the popular vote nation wide? They will get less than 40% of the seats, just like with the Wisconsin's state legislature. How the fuck do you abolish gerrymandering if you keep playing by these rules? Because you will never win a majority in government.

You have to use dirty tactics yourself, in order to even win enough seats to then pass the law that will outlaw gerrymandering.

Did you think nazis went away because we were nice to them? No, the allies shot and killed the nazis.

Does anyone else just not get the "loss" meme? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Like idk what's so funny about a guy rushing to the hospital and a woman having a miscarriage, I've seen other random images referring to the original "loss" meme and I don't know what's so funny.

Like... even beans is a better meme than whatever "loss" is supposed to mean.

It means if democrats don't gerrymander more, the house permanently in favor of republicans. Wont matter if you win like 60%, you still get a minority if seats.

Idk why people are downvoting, but I guess liberals love "playing by the rules". Lol "when they go low, you go high" is why traitors have control of the country right now. But anyways, libs being libs 🤷‍♂️

What are your family's view on crime? How would they react if, hypothetically, they find out that you committed a crime? (I mean like: Are they gonna scold you? Report you to law enforcement?) (sh.itjust.works)
 

I haven't tested this with my parents (I mean I'm not gonna commit a crime just to test their reaction lol), but the vibes I'm getting is that they don't care as long as (1) it's not homicide against innocent people, and (2) I'm not using drugs, and (3) I don't get caught doing it (because they'll "lose face" or something)

Like I talk about digital piracy and they're like: "cool, save a lot of money, very smart", if it was shoplifting, they'd worry about me getting caught, not the legal/moral implications, same as if I were to, hypothetically, commit tax fraud, they don't give a shit lol. Which, despite how shitty and abusive my parents are and I very hate them for most things, I kinda do appreciate the fact that they just have zero respect for the law lol

I mean like... they won't talk, but if they feel like they're gonna get in trouble, they will definitely throw me under the bus

P.S. Don't confess your crimes here, this is about a hypothetical situation.

The Duality of Reddit (europe.pub)
 

On a thread about Germans not wanting to "fight for their country", some blames the rich, while this one idiot decides to become a nationalistic xenophobe. 🤦‍♂️

On a scale of -10 to +10, are you technophobic (-10) or are you technophilic (+10) (sh.itjust.works)
 

I think I'm at like +3

I overall like new technology, but just a bit fearful at malicious people misusing it. Its not technology I fear, its the people.

You have the ability to kill any person by touching them for 15 seconds (uninterrupted), how do you use this power? (You get to choose the timing of death and cause of death) (sh.itjust.works)
 

Its like death note, but instead of names and face, you have to touch them.

So you can't just simply google names of dictators (that would be a very boring c/AskLemmy thread), gotta be creative with this ability.

Is it possible to use a spare android phone as a sort of NAS? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I mean, you connect a phone to a USB-C Hub and the phone can gets power and the SDD /hard drives can get plugged into the USB hub, but I was wondering if there's any apps that can sort of open up your phone's to the internet so that you can access the files (via the phone) from another location?

I know its probably gonna be slow, but is it possible? Maybe "NAS" is the wrong term for it, I'm thinking like a personal "Cloud Drive" except I control the hardware.

Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Maybe we have a future with no charging cords and just being at home and your phone is automatically charging from your "Wireless Charging Router".

Sorry if this sounds stupid lol. I like to imagine weird ways we can use technology.

Hypothetically, if the police seized your electronics (for an unrelated investigation) and found out you have a lot of pirated content, what would happen? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Like for example: a drug raid, or they're accusing you of illegal hacking, or some sort of TheSilkRoad type of stuff.

Assuming the original investigation find no evidence and leads to no charges, could they use the pirated content that you have as a last ditch effort to get you in prison? Not distributing, just personal use.

Not limited to any specific jurisdiction, just want to know what happens in general.

I remember when I was a kid, some of my classmates had handheld game consoles in school and played some mario kart games with each other, and I just watched them play and felt jealous and sad... (sh.itjust.works)
 

Pretry sure it was a Nintendo DS/3DS or something like that. I never actually had a game console until recently. I now have a Nintendo Switch 2 (never got the v1, so might as well get the v2 since its released).

But I don't have friends so I guess I'm just gonna play with randoms online... 🤷‍♂️

The Zelda Games are kinda fun, still not finished with them yet.

In school, I overhear conversations about their Wii's, thei Xbox'es, their Playstations, and kids be like "Ooh I just got the latest one", and basically the entire socialization was revolving video games, and some were PC gamers but they had an actual gaming rig, not some potato laptop like I had.

So I realize that most of my childhood, I may have been basically been sort of socially ostricized because I don't know about what the kids were doing, so I didn't fit in.

And on top of that, maybe my introverted personality just make people not like me even more.

And I think one of the biggest problems was I spend the first like 5 years of my life in the United States (I arrived in the US on an immigration visa when I was a kid as part of my family) basically trying to readjust my brain to learning English so that few years of not speaking the language was probably enough to erode my self esteem and thus spiral into the mess I am right now.

I wonder if this chain of events is why I have depression.

Now every time I hold my Switch 2, I remember the childhood that other's got to enjoy but I never had. Kinda make me wanna cry.

Did y'all have games growing up. (Like actual games, not pay-to-win games running on a potato)

"Nuclear Weapons have made the world more peaceful"; Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why? (sh.itjust.works)
 

...Because countries are less willing to fight wars due to the possibility of escalating into a nuclear war.

This is a common thing I see repeated throughout the internet. I wonder what's Lemmy's opinion on this.

Is it a good idea to buy a Steam Deck solely to play pirated games? Or should I get a windows-based handheld instead? (sh.itjust.works)
 

From what I know, most guides on piracy on steam deck involves running the game through Steam's launcher as a "Non-Steam Game" which kinda feels sketchy to me, since the Steam Launcher portion of SteamOS is not open source, and they could be phoning home to Steam's servers and reporting me as a pirate. Maybe they don't go hard on pirates for now, but at any point in the future, they could pull a Nintendo move.
