Sure. Whether or not its constitutional, etc. is really beside the point. Any official challenge to the governor’s declaration would necessarily involve demonstrating that McConnell is alive and well (or not). In either outcome, the question of the governor’s authority would be moot.

Don’t stress over labels. They don’t fit anyone perfectly.

The tesseract code repository is no longer public, but someone else made a copy of the blacklist file: https://drive.proton.me/urls/F12YB7W52C#27AP8fGZ2xdp

It’s an alternative skin/user interface that fediverse instances can offer users. It turns out to have an internal blocklist of instances, communities, users, and keywords that it will silently hide. Some (e.g. child abuse) are understandable. Others (e.g. specific usernames) are less so.

Some people are upset they are on the list; some that they are not on the list. But most are upset that a list exists in the first place.

“I’m not gay, I’m overworked.”

I find it interesting how “the promotion” is an end in itself. No context, no details, just “the promotion”. And you didn’t get it! Tsk, tsk, tsk.

This looks uncomfortable and humiliating. Now if they were to make it in the form of a suppository…

Last week I tipped a friend off about an upcoming job opening that would have us living in the same town. The boss sees their resume tomorrow.

O Mighty Potato, grant me this boon.

Two squiggles for strikethrough; one squiggle for _subscript; and no squiggle for you!

For what he thought was H2O was H2SO4

It’s clearly haunted.

Probably not criminal trespassing, since they are the owner of the property. It may fall under tenant harassment, unauthorized entry, constructive eviction, or other laws that pertain specifically to landlord/tenant relations.

Check to see if there are any local tenant’s rights or advocacy groups in your area that offer free legal consultations. They’d be able to advise you on the local tenant’s rights laws and whether they apply to your situation.

Multiple HTTP requests can be performed over a single connection, and not all connections are for HTTP requests in the first place. The only way to know that an HTTP request is being made (or how many) is to actually see the requests.

It would be a privacy nightmare, of course. Either we would all have to install monitoring software on our devices, or we would have to allow ISPs to break HTTPS.

Any military intervention into North Korea would have to be a joint effort by the USA and China. Neither power would tolerate the other moving troops into North Korea unilaterally.

Secondly, even a successful intervention would be a humanitarian crisis that would require a decades-long commitment by the powers involved.

And finally, North Korea has nukes. Any intervention would start off in a mad scramble to destroy, capture, or neutralize North Korea launch sites, and then to secure any surviving warheads.

This also partly explains why other countries are willing to send aid. Nobody wins if North Korea collapses.

All flags are an expression of opinion. Even the pride flag has different versions that include or exclude different sub-cultures and allies.

This is a case where it’s the government that’s wearing the proverbial cross necklace, not another employee.

Neither are a governmental function. I think that’s the operative comparison to be made here.

We are not an opinion, but I don’t think that’s really a fair summary of my position anyway.
