Dick Durbin always seems to find a way to be on the wrong side. I have no idea why he keeps getting reelected.

I got it in 2020, but I can’t imagine being in the military right now. We might attack an ally or we might commit a genocide. Neither of which I can support or accept as a lawful order.

Yep, just added even more managerial over head and made it even harder for joint missions. Space Force still uses Lackland AFB (or whatever joint base it is called now) for its basic training. It probably is mostly just still Air Force basic training

What makes you think they’ll follow the ruling? They’ve been ignoring them so far.

You’re welcome?

How could they be butt hurt from you not understanding Lemmy and federation?

Therefore, someone above you gets to control that still.

There is nothing stopping you from running your own Lemmy instance and choosing to federate with whomever you choose.

Lemmy even did the same thing Reddit is doing now

Which Lemmy instance? If you don’t like it, just join a different one.

This is all the beauty of not only federation, but also open source.

Turns out, those are sort of the same thing. You are given the power to shape your feed how you want it instead of how some corporation wants it.

It absolutely could exist. It’s just likely that a lot of servers would defederate them. That’s kind of the beauty of federation.

Invisible. I don’t know anybody in that situation. But I do know plenty of older people who are collecting social security.

That ship sailed when the SC said presidents are kings and then he was re-elected king. Elon will be pardoned before he sees any consequences.

Go birds!

Yeah, apparently not. I thought it was clear that I was pointing out the “at auction” part and its risks.

Right, that’s the point I was making. I did know a guy that would buy them and flip them. It’s a numbers game at that point. Some will be sinkers, but most will make money. If you’re buying one to live in, that’s a heck of a risk.

Never said it was?

At an auction. Meaning it was a house that was foreclosed on. Oftentimes, they go for very cheap, sight unseen, and you need cash in hand. Granted the laws for that differ per state.

Unfortunately, a lot of Gen X went that way.

flagrantly ignoring court orders

They did a lot of this. Several Trump staffers straight up ignored court subpoenas.

And exactly what he and his lackeys did the last time they were in power.

Nah, he’ll get foreign investors to help him and be further owned by foreign governments like he did for X.
