When they decided “protect the kids” was a good enough excuse to ramp up the surveillance state.

Don’t you mean “it’s ÞE crackdown”

Facebook does look like ass

If the juiced numbers are this bad, the real numbers must be absolute dogshit.

For anyone wondering, she’s a conservative influencer who worked with BlazeTV, Toilet Paper USA, contributed opinion pieces to RT and, unsurprisingly, has ties to the Russian government.

Carbon Monoxide detectors are even worse. They just contently beep and give me a headache, had to toss 'em all out.

I’ve blocked that guy so many times for posting that dumbass Buckminster Burkwood AI slop over and over but they have an account on every single fucking instance apparently.

The rules were you guys weren’t gonna fact check

I would think that most Americans on Lemmy did not vote for this

Claims to be pro life

So there was an “article” written about the cult, but it was written by the head of the church. The article itself painted the group in an extremely positive light… The comments, on the other hand, were largely from concerned parents, siblings, and friends who had lost loved ones to the cult and no longer had contact. They’ve been active since 2007, this isn’t a meme.

Honestly he’s one of the most transparently unhappy and insecure people I’ve ever seen. Imagine having all that wealth and still exhuding so much divorced dad energy.

I wish someone would do that to me in real life. I’d tell them about how a popular coffeeshop in our city is run by a straight up cult and the employees are all members whose wages go into a “shared purse” controlled by the cult.

Because unlike the guy in the OP, I recognize I’m not the main character. I’m the NPC in the tavern who sends the protagonist on a side quest to take down a cult.

This shit is so annoying on GitHub. I feel like changes to a codebase are something that really makes sense to describe in hard dates and times. Telling me that some dumbass (me) introduced a bug “3 months ago” is not enough info, especially when it was actually 3 months and 24 days.

I think this car looks cool

Yeah but what does Snoop have to do with any of this?

Labels are just succinct words/phrases that try to give people some approximate idea of where we fall on a handful of vast spectrums. They’re not meant to be 100% accurate.

I’m probably pansexual, but I tell people I’m bi because that’s a word most people are familiar with. And even then I’m like 80-90% into women. So I don’t really fit neatly into the bisexual box, but that label conveys enough relevant information.

I struggle to believe that anyone is 100.00% straight or gay. Like, really? You’re straight, sure… But there’s not one person? One situation? One perfect storm of circumstances where you’d try swinging the other way just a little bit?

Kavnaugh’s dissenting opinion was pretty interesting. It essentially boiled down to 2 points:

• Fixing it would be really messy

• SCOTUS didn’t tell them how exactly to fix it

Basically, the executive can grant itself any new authority as long as it creates a big enough mess before SCOTUS can step in. So if Trump were to declare war on Canada and launch missiles at Toronto, Kavnaugh’s opinion is that the war powers act no longer applies and everything was totally legal because the situation is too messy and SCOTUS can’t broker a peace deal.
