Trump’s motion to dismiss based on his claims of presidential immunity is now due Nov. 7, while the government’s reply is due on Nov. 21. Whether the case ultimately goes to trial depends on the outcome of the election.

I have zero idea why Jack Smith waited so fucking long to bring this to trial. Maybe I’m missing something, but it feels like election interference to postpone court proceedings to give a candidate criminal deniability until after the election is over. If Trump really is guilty, the public deserves to know now, not after we all vote.

Is there a name for the subject you’re speaking of, or do you just mean as a general part of political science? Like I’ve seen memes referring to the subject, but I don’t take it as fact. I do know a bit about the multi-party Parliament and local governance of Sweden, but admittedly nothing deep. What would you suggest I further read up on in their system? And what study of Germany do you suggest I read in relation to this?

My own experiences in studying Vietnam have actually led me to the opposite position, where despite a voter turnout of 99%+, the country is still quite socially conservative.

That seems like a bit of an oversimplification based on the frequency of Dem wins to the voting percentage.

If true though, wouldn’t the US have been the more right wing under 2012 Obama than Trump since he had a lower voter turnout?

You can’t use evidence of a trend as evidence of political motivations is kinda what I’m getting at.

If that’s the case then there should be no argument from Dems about leftists voting third party in swing states.

We cannot continue to rely on fear to propel turnout. Fear and anxiety lead to paralysis and electoral withdrawal. Arguing “We’re not going to hurt you like they are” is no longer sufficient.

This has been such a massive failure on the Dems part, especially after seeing the excitement that Tim Waltz was able to generate after joining the race. I can’t stand to watch a Kamala rally or speech nowadays because it’s nothing but Trump fearmongering, and I don’t even know which parts are real worries considering the guy couldn’t even build a fucking wall.

It even backfires a bit too, because now I think more about how her office is going to come after our civil liberties. Obama created mass surveillance programs and went after whistleblowers, so what is her office inevitably going to do?

Nguyen Hoa Binh translates roughly to “Nguyen Flower Troops”, lol. It should be Nguyễn Hòa Bình. It’s kinda like mixing up “Steve” and “steed” in English.

“But I NEEEEEEEEED to play my games on 164x AA, ultra textures, unlimited render distance, no optimization, 900 fps (on a 60 fps 720p monitor) MOOOOOMMMM!!!”

That’s how I hear every excuse for a recent Nvidia purchase.

As an official anonymous house democrat, I’d like to say that I’m very scared of hearing words come from my constituents’ mouths. It’s a very violent act I’d like to see the police peacefully resolve with batons, tasers, and pepper spray. #IStandWithIsrael

Mobilism is about as good as it gets afaik. Just use the same method as torrenting by only downloading from uploaders with a consistent history of good uploads.

Spotify is pretty ominous on its own tbh, with its emotional surveillance and motion tracking now being implemented to sell to 3rd parties. I now get targeted with White Claw advertisements after putting on a sad playlist.

It’s likely too late, but there’s no need to kill off any of the plants or damage any colas.

Look into a spray meant to kill them off, and consider boosting the airflow, lowering the temp, and increasing humidity (if possible).

I’ve only seen them on others plants, but it’s pretty distinct.

Aphids are truly the worst IMO. Fuckers will move into your house and bite anything that moves (or doesn’t move).

It looks a lot like spider mite webs. It doesn’t usually kill the plants, but will affect your yields and possibly the taste.

“Melee_weapon” yeah that’s pretty dangerous I’d say.

Honestly, are you just into furry or “feral”?

Okay. So what’s your solution? Or have you already decided Trump has won, and have chosen to give up?

As someone who used to post OC, it’s why I left. Nothing but OF spam bots and pics of pornstars. Reddit is somehow the better option, unfortunately.

Softcore gilf porn created by an AI to sell state lottery tickets wasn’t on my cards for 2024, but here we are.

… Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.

Dude is in his 70s and still acts like his mom is literally Satan for saying he has to eat his peas. That’s some real snowflake shit.

I’m not sure why, but you seem to have posted this yesterday but it didn’t show up until an hour ago. Your instance may be having some issues.

I do get where you’re coming from with all that, but the act of going to therapy itself is an achievement a patient can benefit from, and should be considered from the start. If that truly isn’t possible for someone, voice calls from a real therapist are a reasonable next step.

Also, the original question was, “Can AI replace therapists?”. I can see some meaningful benefits coming from an AI assisting a therapist, but that’s not what I was getting at. AI alone really just feels like a bandaid on a bullet wound, when applying pressure or a tourniquet is also available.

I think there’s a good chance people will leave once Lemmy integrates with Threads. So if you time things wisely, you can probably get a good base of users to swap their coms to Sublinks.

What’s your planned policy for karma? I know users hated it, but as a reddit mod I found it super useful to determine between a misinformed user and a troll. If your plan for mod tools is as good as you’re saying, I wouldn’t mind going back to modding.

CSAM is still unfortunately an issue on Lemmy. Just yesterday I had to contact an admin of the 2nd largest instance directly to get a post removed that had been up for several hours. Worst of all, it had more upvotes than downvotes. I do applaud the admin for taking action the minute I notified them, but it should never have been able to get that far.

Also, some of the issues involving Lemmy developers really remind me of major Minecraft servers back in the day lol. There’s just an inability for the “helpers” to do much problem solving because of the lack of tools, and absolute reliance on the person at the top to take action. Even then, the person at the top doesn’t always have the skill set necessary to solve the issues that arise.

I look forward to seeing how Sublinks goes, but without a good reason for users to migrate it could be dead on arrival.
