I noticed that too. Hot button issues it gets filled with shills for whatever side. It’s very annoying and obvious that it’s happen because afterwards the interaction will disappear.

Using 2 of the most lyrically gifted rappers is cheating. WAP exists.

I think this is a great idea. Will make it easy to identify which people I should never speak to again.

Trump really is trying to be hitler. He even invented his own “star of David” in the form of a phone.

Didn’t know the cdc still had funding.

Thank you lmao I was like why is there an American flag

Within an hour an appeals judge put a 1 week stay on the ruling. Fucking corrupt judges

Thank you for being honest about it. A different thread over the same topic people were saying it’s very simple and military should be able to easily disobey these illegal orders. Reality is much different. I know it’s very scary to potentially throw your life away to do the right thing and no one can truly say what they would do in this type of situation without actually living it.

That’s not what should happen and you should be ashamed of yourself. Murder is not something to take lightly.

They’re legal in Texas now. I think in November they’ll be 100% legal and soon be able to buy them from a dealer. Since last year you could import them.

Political hierarchy in the US is very important for a lot of things. The Netherlands doesnt have states so I know it seems foreign to you but I’ll try to explain without being condescending.

Some basic info to get out of the way first: States are not subject to the federal government in the way you think. If I had to compare it to something imagine the US is the EU and the states are separate countries. Subjects that are not covered under federal law are left for the states to control on their own and the federal government almost never will directly intervene in a situation in a state without that states approval.

With that please understand that Kristi Noem is not “the controlling party”. She is a government employee hired by Donald Trump. She has next to 0 control over what’s going on in California. Government policy for these types of situations is defer to the states laws and provide support as needed. California as directly asked the government to stand down and instead Donald Trump has mobilized the military against the wishes of the people of California.

Imagine if the EU sent their military to quell protests in the Netherlands. Also imagine if a contractor hired by the EU arrested and detained your prime minister IN THE NETHERLANDS while holding a press conference because your prime minister wanted to know why the hell a contractor was directing the EU military to quell a protest on your soil.

I realize the comparisons might not be the best but this situation is absolutely insane and should have never happened. Our government is absolutely over stepping their bounds and are exacerbating the situation.

Is that pretty normal where you live? An unelected government official detaining an elected sitting senator?

The direct answer to your question is yes he should have been treated differently because he’s a senator. DHS is not the end all be all of government regulation. He is essentially one of her bosses.

They can be court martialed either way. Literally an entire movie about it and a phrase that gets used everyday. Cache 22

Chess engines don’t have real difficulties. Every level of the chess engine is designed to make more blunders as the elo gets smaller.

In other works it is programmed to make bad moves in regular intervals. What that means is even on beginner modes when the engine isn’t blundering it is playing perfect chess. This is why it isn’t good to play against chess bots. At best you will learn some pattern recognition but chess puzzles are better at that.

That’s not how military orders work.

I’ve seen people claim she deserved it for blocking traffic.

Definitely valid point. Were are aiming way too low as a nation. It’s ok for people to fail and we should be rewarding people for over achieving. Not the opposite.

Hot take but I think this article is hyperbole. Think about it. Half of adults are underachievers. That tracks with most metrics. Your average person is not smart. Intelligence follows a bell curve and it only makes sense that the bottom half is going to be terrible.

Edit: ok just realized this is the meme sub lol.

Some of you lemmy users really are keyboard warriors. I understand your frustration with what’s going on but your call for violence just shows you don’t actually care about people’s lives. The people of California are just numbers to you.

Even though California is the symbol of liberalism, it is still one of the largest populations of conservatives in the country. Newsome has a duty to all residents of the state, not just liberals. All out civil war is not a decision to make so lightly.

If you feel so strongly feel free to get off Lemmy and go fight. I really feel the same people calling for him to do more are the same people who voted 3rd party. Just an utter lack of any critical thinking.

Exactly what it looks like. He is becoming the face of the opposition. Just another establishment candidate. 🙄
