Does anything other than tradition prevent a candidate from running in the primaries of both the R and D conventions? Could the same person end up as the candidate for both parties?

Their simple rule is “if other people can be happy and content doing things that my world view says are wrong, they must be forced to stop, or my world view is in jeopardy.”

…yet.

And most of the animal species; that’s the sad part.

But it’s not like it will be the first time; dinosaurs weren’t known for thinking on climate timescales either.

Let’s put this another way: why are the same routines from the 70s still relevant today? It’s like all the movements of one generation have had almost zero effect on society as a whole.

I’m pretty sure they mean pardoning people for stuff that happened in the past that Trump has stated he wants to bring charges over.

Thing is, it only works that way if the incoming president feels constrained to abide by tradition and play by the tules. In reality, Trump can just change the rules and do what he wants.

It will stop through natural causes. Humans aren’t wired to collectively think on climate timescales.

Well… THAT is quite the endorsement for Kevin Roberts.

It definitely helps frame Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation that they’re willing to throw away traditional family values in the pursuit of autocracy.

Should we? At that point, the real decisions are made by those with the most charismatic performance.

What pure democracy assumes is that the competent decision will be more popular.

Give him a couple of months and that will all be sorted… by tossing the FTC rules. After all, they obviously unfairly target grifters Republicans.

This headline presented me with a chilling thought: what if we’re heading for a transition to gendered care? Only male doctors can see male patients and only female doctors can see female patients?

Eventually, with the return of “women shouldn’t be allowed to be practicing doctors.“

Just like with Reddit: it’s about the headline, not the article content. Same article, different headline? It would be a big stretch to argue it is trying to divide us.

That’s the official dev board. You can build a router with that, but most people don’t build their routers up from components.

GL-iNet definitely predates it though.

Matrix is essentially secure XMPP.

For fast and secure communications, I’d expect Fediverse mods and admins to be using it, as it doesn’t take much more to set up and use than less secure XMPP variants, and lines up with the ActivityPub worldview.

But I guess people go with what they know, and some people know standard XMPP or Discord.

They just need to point how weird he is and how he seems to lack energy.

Laser pointer or sharpie?

Only if I save a penny in your shoes.

Do they have fixed expiry after which the thing is inert, or just a battery that runs down after which a different energy source (or shock to the battery) is needed to trigger them?

Those who can, move?

Interestingly, my SSDs tend to fail due to reaching their maximum writes (takes roughly 15 years).

My HDDs fail due to shock or overheating. Tend to last roughly 9 years.
