You think that after the changes made to the voting systems, the SAVE voting act, the firing of people at CISA responsible for election safety and security, and the migration of the voting devices to Starlink (even with orage mussilini and muskrat falling out) that there's ever going to be a Democratic president again? I wish I had your optimism. That's if a state of emergency/war isn't called that halts all elections, which is far more likely to be what happens.
Plus, the Democrats will just play good and "not stoop to the opposition's level", letting them just get creamed and steamrolled again in the following election, even if they do somehow manage to win. The Democrats had a chance to fight facism and they welcomed it with open arms. Without turning over nearly the entirety of the party, why does anyone think anything is ever going to change?
If we ever have another elected president, I hope that one of their first acts after undoing literally everything that the orange menace has done is to replace every picture of trump in any government building with this.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted, this is the real reason.
In the wake of 9/11, Congress issued a broad, many would say overly broad, Authorization for the Use of Military Force that basically granted the Office of the President open-ended permission for any conceivable martial escapade he might want in the Middle East. Every President of the 21st century has used this as the legal justification for meting destruction onto that part of the world: for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, bombings in Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Pakistan, as well as our little-publicized offensive in Northeast Africa.
Due to this, what Trump did is legal. Unfortunately it seems people just want to shoot the messenger now if they say something they disagree with, even if they're correct.
I 100% support removing Trump from power through impeachment and absolutely think he's a threat to democracy, but throwing bullshit articles of impeachment at him over and over just galvanizes his base when he continually shrugs them off.
It's sad but they've been like this since the get-go. They sued Galoob for the Game Genie (and lost), and they sued Blockbuster for copying manuals so that people could have the manual to review when they rented games (and won). Nintendo has always been excruciatingly aggressive about protecting and policing their copyrights and IP, even when they're dead wrong.
This is not an attempt to justify what they're doing, just to point out that it's unfortunately nothing new.
Can't wait to pick this up for $30 on PC 3 years after it's released. Fuck $80 games and fuck double-dip releases that don't release same-day on PC.
Stranger Things. Gave up after the first season. It just felt like the show was trying too hard to feel like something nostalgic from the 80s without any of the substance or writing the things from the 80s it was trying to mimic had.
Even if he did, Trump would just pardon him
This is just the ammunition they'll use when they put a bag over her head and send her to El Salvador.
"We told her she had 7 days to deport. She's an immigrant with no due process. She didn't listen. She's now in CECOT. No, we can't and/or won't get her back, even if we're ordered to do so."
It's blatant at this point.
Exactly, there's absolutely no way it grazed him at all with no skin damage, no cartilage damage, no scarring.
No one heals cartilage. Especially not a 78 year old dottering fool whose primary source of nutrition is McDonalds.

Every single member of the military I've talked to, somehow, for some reason seems to support Trump. I'm fucking stunned by it, but it seems he has their support.
They don't need to cancel the mid-terms, they already fired everyone at CISA who is responsible for securing state elections. The elections will absolutely happen and miraculously the republicans will win across the board with a higher vote percentage than they've ever won by before, and they'll claim that this means the US population is 100% in support of the fascist policies of the GOP and accelerate the descent.
Considering that everyone at CISA responsible for securing state elections has been put on leave, I'm pretty sure there will never be another fair election in any shape in the USA.
There's a subset of the Democratic party with balls? I've been voting for them for over 20 years and I haven't seen it yet :(
The problem is that the DMCA is a flawed piece of legislature that hamstrings fair use in a couple of really key ways.
Obligatory IANAL, but my read on the (admittedly very legalese) section 1201 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201) is that it lists a very few exemptions for what is allowable under the DMCA with regard to bypassing copyright protection mechanisms, and archival copies of personal media are not in that list of exemptions. Archival use of computer programs is covered under section 117 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/117) and it allows you to make a bit-by-bit copy of your media for archiving it. It doesn't allow you to bypass copyright protection mechanisms that exist on that content.
So, you'd be protected if you were making a 1:1 exact cloned (and therefore, encrypted) copy of your switch game. Any action to decrypt that switch game (because the encryption is explicitly a copyright protection mechanism) would be a violation, whether it be you doing it manually with a tool, or an emulator doing it on your behalf. If you move that violation outside of the emulator, I would think that based on how the law is written they'd have to find some other way you were violating the DMCA with the emulator specifically in order to target it.
Ultimately, I think the reason it's illegal is because the DMCA is corpo crap that has been bastardized several times over to reduce consumer rights, but the lawyers seem to wield section 1201 as the silver bullet.
Emulation is legal but emulators that circumvent the DMCA in order to function are not. Yuzu and Ryujinx both decrypt encrypted Switch content using prod keys and title keys in order to execute it. The act of decrypting switch games in real-time using those keys is a violation of DMCA and is illegal (in countries that care about the DMCA anyhow). Having code in your emulator that CAN decrypt the Switch content can be viewed as a DMCA violation as well, even if it also supports unencrypted content.
Based on that, it seems like all we need is for Ryujinx/Yuzu/some other switch emulator that hasn't yet been sued by Nintendo to be built in a way that it requires decrypted copies of the software and they could then argue that the person who violated the DMCA was the person who released the decryption tool or the teams that release decrypted versions of switch software.
Seems like if the developers remove the need for the emulator to use prod keys or title keys and they can remove the primary DMCA violation that is being weaponized against these emulators.
Their name is Free_Opinions, we definitely got what we paid for.
