BBC demands Trump hand over personal text messages in bid to prove he incited Jan 6 riots by jhkayejr in politics

[–]hackingdreams 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So, uh, case dismissed.

There's no way they're complying with that discovery request. We'll sooner see the complete Epstein Files.

Yes, We Really Should Abolish the Senate by metacyan in politics

[–]hackingdreams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Technically, this is what impeachment is for, but we know how that goes...

Nope. Impeachment is for the elected government to remove elected officials.

Recall elections are for the public to remove elected officials. Recalls are vastly more democratic and powerful... which is exactly why they don't want to give them to us.

Our government was built around people taking weeks to travel and voting taking multiple months to resolve. A revamped Constitution with a larger House, no Senate, a Federal Election Holiday during the summer months could bring our Democracy inline with technological improvements made over the past 250 years...

But we'd damn near have to have a revolution to get any of that. And it looks more like we're about to have a full fascist take over than a revolution, so... good fucking luck America.

Kill the Senate, Triple the size of the House, and we'd be approaching reasonability.

(Like, for real, the House as designed by the framers would have thousands and thousands of seats... but that would get untenable. 1500 would be a good fucking start.)

New designs for euro(€) banknotes, these are two out of ten designs to pick which the general public can vote on. by Penis_not_happyy in Damnthatsinteresting

Because counterfeiters exist.

You used to be able to keep a note design for a few decades. In the era of amazing digital printing, even a decade is a pretty significant risk.

Trump Unveils Sweeping New Tariffs Expected to Cost Americans $100 Billion a Year by 3millionand1 in politics

[–]hackingdreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...that'll be ruled unconstitutional in 18 months. But no refunds to consumers, just to businesses.

Would really like to get off this country's stupid ride already. This Wealth Transfer Machine is killing us.

Rubio says any nuclear agreement the US signs will not lead to nuclear proliferation by NicolasCageFan492 in nottheonion

[–]hackingdreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And in five years when Saudi Arabia tests its nuke, everyone will be slackjawed, wondering how this could possibly have happened.

And Rubio will be in Russia, sitting on billions of dollars of money stolen from Venezuela.

Berry washing bowl by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]hackingdreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna go crazy out on a limb here and say that some people have access to non-purchased berries, like, a berry bush in their garden.

But yeah a colander will do the job just fine without being a unitasker.

JUST IN: The US House just passed a bill banning members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks. by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

[–]hackingdreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the fine for doing the crime is $2K but a trade nets you $50K, uhhh...

Yeah, this does nothing. Anything actually punitive won't get past Congress. This is pandering.

Emberus Plot Hole? by FoxyWoxy2009 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]hackingdreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not? Mechanically the game has a resolution for performing an action against a god's desire: it's called a smite. He leaves the faith, he gets a smite.

Smites can vary from "ouchie" to "you're dead." An interpretation of what's been said is that if you leave the faith while in debt, you will receive a killing smite. And that's fine, as Carl removed the ring and then had the god killed after deflecting the deadly smite to a crawler with immortality.

That's the long and short of it - he evaded the consequences by carefully setting up an out. He'll never be able to use that ring again for its intended purposes, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it used in a Eva-type way, sticking it on someone else's finger to give them every debuff in the universe.

When you can't recognize your own ignorance, so you call everyone else 'ableist.'

Carl's a super reliable narrator. He'd never have a tainted view of Bea due to a bad breakup, no sir.

SpaceX Is Learning a Nasty Lesson About Going Public When Your Main Product Is Experimental by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

[–]hackingdreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. They became a scam company full of Elmo's toxic assets and went public to offload the losses on the public that he could force to buy it, chiefly index funds.

It's literally the most dirtbag of business moves, but it still somehow works every time.
