I don’t remember what being 6 months old was like either, but I’m told I screamed and shit myself the entire time, so maybe the experience actually wasn’t great.

politics @lemmy.world•New: Bombshell report says Trump promised to pardon his entire staff
4·4 天前I’ve been thinking about this a lot, but the problem is that the President can only pardon federal crimes, so if a mob drags Steven Miller from his house in California and kills him, the President can’t do anything to intervene. However, I’m pretty sure that the President could pardon crimes committed in D.C., and the Supreme Court has basically said the President can’t be held accountable for crimes committed in office, so in theory, a future President could order agents to take Miller into custody, bring him to D.C., and execute him. He could then pardon everyone involved and no one could be held accountable.

Science Memes@mander.xyz•North America contains some of the longest continuous deciduous forest records on the planet.English
33·5 天前Damn, it’s crazy that we let one guy decide these things. Seems like the kind of thing that should be determined by a large legislative body that holds the power over our nation’s budget and the ability to write laws. Weird we don’t have one of those.

33·5 天前The response to this needs to be a resounding, “LOL, no,” from whatever administration comes next. The constitution gives the President the power of the pardon? Well, if gives Congress power of the purse, but we let him ignore that. The Supreme Court will intercede? One of them is married to a J6er, another one is openly taking bribes, and ar least three of them committed perjury when they told Congress said they wouldn’t overturn precedent. Our country can’t continue without accountability.
Yes. Even if you don’t think the goals of space exploration are important, we’ve made huge developments in medicine, engineering, solar panels, telecommunications, and road safety based on NASA technology. You’re probably reading this on a phone that wouldn’t exist with space exploration research. Scientific research is never a linear set of goals or inventions, and the ancillary benefits of our pursuit of space have already changed the world.
In my opinion, one too many Eevees. Vaporeon, Jolteon, Umbreon, and Espeon are solid choices, but you don’t need two fire types, and Flareon sucks ass. Not worth wasting your one fire stone on him.
I take her point, but man, way to ruin a solid one-liner with moralizing.

science@lemmy.world•China Is Rapidly Overtaking the United States as the World's Scientific SuperpowerEnglish
63·18 天前Who knew that taking funding for scientific research away from government institutes and universities and giving it to ketamine-addicted con men would have negative consequences.
It feels more like a 20% chance when you’re using it, and a 95% chance when you’re trying to get through Mount Moon.
They’re using Supersonic, which has a 55% accuracy rate. They learn Confuse Ray later on, which has a 100% accuracy rate.

4·28 天前People are downvoting real hard for this, but there are 3 different interpretations of this comic in this thread, so you definitely have a point.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Woman who wrote children's book about grief found guilty of murdering husbandEnglish
10·29 天前She was also convicted of other felonies, including attempted murder for trying to poison her husband weeks earlier on Valentine’s Day with a fentanyl-laced sandwich that made him black out.
Look, I don’t want to blame the victim here, but I probably wouldn’t let my wife make me a cocktail if she once gave me a sandwich so strong I blacked out.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump allies plan Senate floor takeover to pass SAVE America Act
2·30 天前Oh, I guess that’s just Massachusetts. Here you’re required to pay time-and-a-half for federal holidays and, for some industries, Sundays. I knew that Sunday-pay was state law, but I assumed federal holiday pay was required by federal law.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump allies plan Senate floor takeover to pass SAVE America Act
1·1 个月前If it’s a federal holiday, employers are forced to give you time-and-a-half, which makes smaller businesses much more likely to close for the day (and large corporations much more likely to understaff and fuck over the people who do work that day).

politics @lemmy.world•John Fetterman says Iran girls’ school strike is just a leftist craze
10·1 个月前If the Democrats were a functioning opposition party, they would have forced Fetterman out when his staffers started reporting his erratic behavior. But Chuck Schumer needs Senators to, “go against him,” and thwart any legitimate opposition the party can muster, so we let this brain damaged, mentally ill man occupy one of fhe highest positions of power in the nation.

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Epstein Files Interest Drops 95% as US-Israel Strikes on Iran Dominate Headlines
4·1 个月前That’s a dumb way to frame this. “My interest in resolving my crippling debt dropped 95% when I set my house on fire!” Well, creating and imminent crisis doesn’t make your other problems go away.

News@lemmy.world•Trump looks increasingly desperate to restrict voting rights
43·1 个月前Schumer’s gonna pass the SAVE act so he can pass Iran War funding, isn’t he?
I feel you, but honestly, with this administration, who fucking knows what will happen. The Secretary of Defense is an alcoholic, the President is sundowning, and JD Vance appears to already be in hiding. This might end with our unconditional surrender to the next Ayatollah after we lose a ground invasion.
I don’t even think you can say, “America,” at this point; I think this 5 to 10 people at the top of the administration that thought they could repeat what they did in Venezuela. There are plenty of ghouls in both parties that have been dreaming of regime change in Iran, but even they wouldn’t be stupid enough to think they could just bomb the country for a weekend, kill the Ayatollah, and move on. Intelligence officials at the Pentagon directly contradicted the administration’s claim that Iran was planning an attack, and even John Fucking Bolton wrote an op-ed saying this was a bad idea. America is gonna get a kick in the nuts, but only a handful of people are actually responsible for this cluster-fuck, and they probably won’t learn anything or face any consequences for their actions.
