You may underestimate user dedication. I love my instance and totally would come back after a few months away temporarily.

You got me on the communities though.

Fediverse is designed to handle servers with less than stellar reliability.

I wouldn’t count on these people helping anyone but themselves.

AI is not healthy. Our mental health is nowhere near good enough to handle even this level of machine intelligence.

Who wants to hire a law firm that caves under pressure? It’s a fantastic litmus test of who’s worth hiring.

Do you want Mr. Caves Under Pressure on your case?

He took inspiration from the NK military parades.

Demand that the US pay for the deportations.

The fallout in general. The USA will not rekindle the trust and respect it had in my lifetime I imagine.

Doesn’t matter. Anyone with sense wouldn’t believe it, and those without sense have already finished activating their xenophobic fear centers. The lie was successful.

Great move for Facebook. It’ll let them claim they’re doing something to curb horrid content on the platform without actually doing anything.

He’s a baby man.

With care. It should come with a sense of responsibility and avoiding promoting the same issues that caused those problems they are running from.

You misunderstand. It’s actually “Just Us.”

The basic idea of the court is to administer the concentrated power of a few elites who are completely unaccountable and above the law. It’s an absolute power system that belongs just to “Us,” our elites. Those are the people who make the rules and tell us what to do in our system of government.

Alternatively, you can think of it as the laws apply only to us at the bottom. In this case, “us” refers to the citizens. It’s right in the name (US)A.

Common misconception. Totally get it if you’re not from this country. In general, just remember it’s an authoritarian regime. That means that laws are an arbitrary device used to enforce and apply their power.

You don’t want anything that advertises next generation encryption. You want tried and true encryption. You want boring encryption.

They’re all liars. They are sociopathic narcissists.

It’s almost like they want the hinges to break after six months.

In that case it wouldn’t be news.

Can’t get sick if I’m dead! Whadya say to that one, doc?!

It’s nice to know we still have some health officials remaining. Many are no longer employed.

Not necessarily. We’ve been “deporting” citizens as well.

But yes of course they prefer to target the vulnerable first. That’s how bullies work.

This is precisely the problem. Justice is the compromise that preserves peace and prevents violence. If you don’t believe your innocent ass will get a fair trial, and you don’t believe you’ll be treated to dignity, what incentive do you have not to shoot them?

At least then you die quickly and for what mattered most to you in this world. An honorable death.

The alternative to justice is unacceptable and extremely dangerous.
