This might be the dumbest thing a candidate in this race has said and that bar is pretty high considering Trump might think political asylum and insane asylums are the same thing.

Not a democrat, not really a republican either. Mostly just crazy.

• Supports Trump 2016
• Supports anyone but Trump 2020 - Briefly likes Bernie but then mainly has a parasocial relationship with Tulsi Gabbard (offers to write speeches, sends speeches to their email). Eventually gets on board with Biden Harris.
• Somehow likes Kim Jong Un, has another parasocial relationship inviting to Hawaii and asking to be an ambassador.
• Latches onto George Floyd protests supporting police reform.
• Latches onto Hong Kong supporting independence. Again reaching out to be a kind of diplomat in a parasocial relationship with Carrie Lam and including his phone number and email. He does that a lot.
• Latches onto supporting Ukraine. Has a parasocial relationship with Zelenskyy. Goes there and volunteers to help recruit eventually but people thought he was nuts over there. Kept offering to provide thousands of Afghan soldiers?
• Asks Elon Musk about selling him a rocket to attack Putin…
• Latches onto Taiwan supporting independence. Again offering thousands of Afghan soldiers.
• Writes a book telling Iran they should assassinate Trump.
• Believes China has a pneumonia bioweapon it’s using to silence democracy
• This election his dream ticket was Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley (and yet Ramaswamy is not pro Ukraine while Haley is so I’m not sure why he’d want Haley as the VP)

There shouldn’t be any paid resort trips for judges in the first place, even with disclosure.

Week long colloquiums at a resort in Montana paid for by some conservative group? Why do judges need a colloquium in the first place? They don’t need to go to a conference to tell them how to judge things based on political lines. There’s already a system of judges that’s supposed to interpret grey areas of the law as a group that’s the whole point of appellate courts and the multi-judge panels on them.

Now that the Steam Deck and linux gaming has found some success I really hope Valve or someone else revisits the home console market with a similar approach.

You couldn’t really build a PC for the same price as a PS5 with the same performance unless you’re buying used parts in most places but that’s not because Sony is selling consoles at a loss right now like the olden days. A large system integrator like Valve (or xbox if they want to change their formula) could offer similar perf/price without all the downsides of these locked down consoles.

We will end the war in Ukraine by giving Russia everything they want…

Kamala Harris said in the debate, “I believe the reason Donald Trump says this war would be over in 24 hours is because he would just give it up.” Turns out she’s 100% correct.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by the station, one of the teens reported hearing Metz say “Oh s—, my gun just went off” after the shooting.

The kids did trespass by hopping a fence, I’m guessing his defense is going to be he was just trying to hold them there for police but accidentally discharged his weapon into a kids face. The fuckwit is really lucky the kid lived.

I can’t understand the idiotic appeal of inserting yourself into these situations when the police are already on the way and there’s no danger to yourself to just waiting and letting them handle it.

Oh another thing on the list of things I think should just be free instead and covered by taxes.

They got caught taking bribes and then afterward made an official ruling that “gratuities” are okay and totally not bribes. These corrupt assholes have no shame and will never voluntarily recuse themselves.

Someone else, whose identity was not known when the case was presented to a grand jury, poured an accelerant on the cat and set it on fire, the indictment against Williams says. The animal running away on fire was also recorded on video.

Two psychos

Yeah probably this. It feels okay to be more lax once your kid knows how to handle a gun because of the perceived lower chance that the kid accidentally discharges the gun they find.

But kids trained in gun safety also purposely shoot themselves and others, and also still make dumb decisions and accidentally shoot themselves and others. And a lot parents probably don’t want to think about those scenarios in my experience.

“They just hate me for political reasons, it’s a witch hunt! They’re corrupt!”…“Wait until I’m president again. There will be political witch hunts. I am corrupt.”

type site:lemmy.world in front of your search if using google. You can combine multiple instances with the OR operator ie site:lemmy.world OR site:programming.dev this will force google to give you content only from your desired domains but lemmy.world posts will likely trample the other instances for a lot of stuff.

We’re becoming a little centralized (which I personally don’t find to be such a bad thing yet).

My dad gave me a gun for one of my earlier birthdays. It was a bolt action .22 that went right into a gun safe that I couldn’t access…It was a pretty shitty present as I didn’t enjoy hunting at the time but in retrospect I’m glad I learned gun safety and shooting.

Why the fuck would you buy a 14 year old an AR15 style rifle, especially after he already had a history of making school shooting threats at school? Dude deserves prison for a long time.

There was this company Aereo that offered the ability to rent individual antennas in your local market and stream that over the Internet and the supreme court killed that too.

And they ruled Aereo was a cable company on the one hand so it was violating the law by not paying carriage fees…And then later when Aereo sought a compulsory license because it was a “cable company” according to the supreme court - they ruled against Aereo because it’s not a cable company.

It’s pretty obvious the public service part of OTA comes in second behind profit.

From wikipedia

“It’s an uncomfortable subject to most of the guys, so we don’t really discuss it too much. The process of the thing being made was never told to us. We were never told what it was. It was never supposed to be a Wu-Tang album. We were recording and being paid to do a certain amount of records by a guy whose name I don’t want to mention. He took all these verses—some of them were old verses—and put them altogether into a compilation of Wu-Tang songs and marketed it as a Wu-Tang album, and a single copy of a Wu-Tang album. We all had a problem with it because that’s not how it was described to us.”

—Method Man in 2024 on recording Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.

I think the opinion (as bad as it is) is that if the warrant was good the judge thinks the exact same thing would have happened. So the fact that these assholes knowingly lied to get the warrant isn’t a “direct link”.

To me making that argument kind of signals that no-knock warrants shouldn’t be a thing at all if you accept that an innocent would die either way because it’s so fucked up…and on top of that the cops still clearly caused this by lying because this isn’t a case of good warrant vs bad warrant - this is a case of bad warrant vs no warrant and Breonna still being alive.

I put my Nintendo switch under a pop up panel with the spare tire in the trunk of my car and forgot about it. Searched through the whole house and most of the car a week later and assumed it was stolen. I found it when I needed jumper cables about a year later…
