I have some conservative in-laws that live in Northern Minnesota. When we drove up to visit, they were like "You stopped in MINNEAPOLIS on your way up here?!? How did you survive all the crime??"

Like seriously, Fox News has convinced these people that the world outside their immediate bubbles is an absolute hellhole overrun with immigrants, homeless people, and gang members.

It's worth giving the article a read. It seems that they're not using the data for training, but for real-time results.

From an article about it:

The majority of the Democrats complied with the law enforcement escort, showing reporters what they called “permission slips” they received to leave the House floor and pointing to the officers escorting them around the Capitol.

WTF. How have Democrats still not learned that complying gets you nothing.

It's equal parts disgusting and terrifying that Trump has those hats. He's already proving through his actions that he doesn't give a shit about our democracy - but having a hat that basically says "fuck you, I'm a dictator" is just so brazen.

On God that bruh's bussy's straight bussin' fr fr.

Yeah there's definitely a problem that's more than just a few hours delay. It's got 50 votes and 10 comments when viewed from a non-lemmy.world account.

And just to clarify, it is my understanding that "pretty bussin' bruh" is quite different than "pretty bussy, bruh". Correct?

It's worth giving the judge's letter a read. He had this distributed to all the people that wrote in on the defendant's behalf, since many people thought he was a good person and did nothing wrong. The judge set the record straight: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.227212/gov.uscourts.dcd.227212.272.0.pdf

Yeah I made a post for my instance admins and they mentioned they're seeing a huge queue build up for post/comments to and from the lemmy.world instance, but not other instances. My guess is that something is going on with lemmy.world. I posted something to their support community but haven't seen anything yet from them.

Here's from my other account.

I'm guessing you'll get this comment (from my lemmy.world) account well before you get my other reply (from my sh.itjust.works) account. Even though I made this comment later.

When logged into a lemmy.world account, I couldn't see the post above on the Helldivers community until actually clicking that link. Even still, I can't see comments or anything on the post when following the link.

Wow I just tried this and it really does work!

Glad to see it. I'm curious as to what that means practically. Does the court have the ability to force him to pay or can he just drag his feet indefinitely?

Their problem is that they've been making abortion a wedge issue for so long, that it's now impossible for them to back down. They've been catering to the religious right, pushing a message that life begins at conception and any form of abortion (and some birth control) is literally the same as murdering babies. And their base ate that shit up.

Now they're trying to backtrack, which leads to their hilarious message of basically "look, we're going to have to kill a few babies to get into power, because power is more important." Good luck trying to sell that.

Lmao, Trump got fined $10,000 on the spot for violating his gag order about shit talking the court staff. A small slap on the wrist, but I love the immediate consequence.

We already knew he was a Republican.

Members of the class will receive as much as 75 percent of the fees returned to them, though the payout may be lower depending on how many people claim refunds from the suit.

A fine that allows a company to profit off shitty business practices is not a deterrent, it's just the cost of doing business. If people were receiving twice what they were charged in fees, then there might be actual change.

Frontier used to be such an awesome airline before they pivoted and raced to the bottom.
