Idk, I knew a dealer who used to say that people exaggerated and that none of his were more than “30%” since anything more than that is a scam, if only because of how fast you can process THC.

Love how legalization just has resulted in yet another field for capitalists to lie about their products…

Damn I didn’t realise the Ford government weakened it to 2018 and before. Reminds me of a lot of US states, although they have a cutoff in the fucking 70s sometimes

Hahaha epic

yeah same, only like half of the videos load or play.

He worked for the people who ran it. When people frame him as a human trafficker they’re falsely creating this image of a man who kept people in cages and shipped them over international boundaries but if you read the court documents it was nothing like that.

Important to know is that this is only possible because someone from a +19 Democrat district got elected, then flipped parties. So not only is this overriding a governor in order to Rule over their Betters, someone outright betrayed their constituents to do so.

Well yeah, they hate the idea of planned parenthood. The desirables of society are supposed to be married expressly for the purpose of bearing children, and anyone else is supposed to have it thrust upon them whether they’re ready, want it or not.

I came here to comment this. I’m glad this was at the top when ranked “hot” for me. Every time I see a headline like this I die a little inside, I’m so sick of this naive attitude in general society when dealing with theocrats.

“You know, now that this asshole mentions it, maybe we shouldn’t host stuff from these piracy communities as Lemmy’s largest instance. That might create problems for us down the road.”

I’m almost certain that’s what actually went down, but I’m explicitly referring to the issue of people’s perception.

Almost all of us end up creating a home system that works for the least tech-savvy in the home.

That’s where I started, as a kid still at home in the 2010s. I used plex, I’ve been getting progressively more frustrated with it, but not sure how I’d switch to something else.

I genuinely think that the best remedy to this is to give SAG and the WGA everything they want in negotiations. It would fundamentally alter the economics of streaming if they are subject to the same sort of residuals and writer’s room requirements as traditional media.

If the media corporations have their way, they’re gonna break the strike by outlasting them until they “start losing their homes” from being out of work for so long that they’re forced to acquiesce. Then we’re gonna really get awful content as no one will be able to take any significant risks to write a weird TV pilot or make a unique movie.

Honestly kinda legendary

Lmao this is the guy that first lead to them banning the communities right?

Love that lemmy.world seems to be making their moderation strategy based off of a troll with at least 4 alts…

I mentioned earlier or elsewhere on this thread that right now, the narrative that I’m aware of is as follows:

Lemmy.world users: just vibing, doing their thing

Concern troll: comes in with a freshly created account to pearl-clutch about scary illegal things

Lemmy.world users: hahaha look at this loser downvotes them to oblivion, resumes vibing

Lemmy.world Admins: Piracy?! OMG that’s ILLEGAL, thank goodness someone pointed this out to us

If they had an existing stance on piracy, they should have been already enforcing it. Then it wouldn’t look like they were successfully spurred into action by a bad-faith actor.

So many laws work like this too, it makes them worthless if personal wealth is required to get them enforced. If Section 230 only exists for the wealthy and corporations, the fediverse isn’t gonna get very far

If they had decided to do this a week earlier I doubt it would be this controversial.

Like, I think people are upset about blocking the piracy communities, sure, but I think that the real issue is that it feels like everyone is just vibing, doing their thing on their lemmy instances, then this troll comes in all fake concerned about breaking rules, gets utterly piled on naturally, only for the admins in question to come in and “side” with the “loser” in people’s eyes.

I sympathise with instance admins without the ability to risk a court fight, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t those out there who would welcome such a challenge, and I don’t think they should be pressured to cave if they’re inclined not to.

Sure, but doesn’t it suck that it doesn’t matter what the law says? Do you think it’ll ever change if everyone rolls over and isolates undesirable communities (think beyond piracy to other things like adult content, or content from marginalised groups)

I also just thought that, given how thoroughly downvoted that post and all its OP’s comments were, it makes the Admins of Lemmy.world look like they’ve actively gone against popular opinion. Psychologically, mobs tend to dislike that appearance.

There’s nothing to sue? They could go after an instance owner, sure, but I’m reasonably sure that there’s still Section 230 safe harbor protections for “service providers”, which to my knowledge could easily be the owner/admin of a fediverse instance. Perhaps it’ll need to be litigated in the courts, which is unfortunate for whoever gets stuck being the trailblazer.

I think that people are more upset that it was done only after a troll complained about it on the support or admin community.

Another channel: RenegadeCut, specifically his series on hierarchies

Because they honestly believe women are inferior. They might not say it literally but we got the last GOP nominee for Arizona governor saying “God didn’t create women as men’s equals” so who knows

It comes from a desire to ensure that their worldview is never challenged, and people find appeal in it because it can give them a sense of purpose in life. A white woman might support Christian theocracy because she believes that she isn’t like those “sluts”, and that if she follows what rules are laid out for her she’ll find contentment.

Check out BeliefItOrNot, a YouTube channel, former evangelical child who left the church in adulthood with lots of great perspectives on this.

For some people, this is exactly why they wanted it overturned. Pro-Choice Activists have been saying for decades that this is about rolling back women’s rights and freedoms, and that arguing over the merits of abortion as a medical procedure was pointless.

I just wanna pop in and state that this is a feature and desired impact of the anti-abortion movement.

But they’re totally not racist, and definitely don’t want to bring back Jim Crow

First child labor, next the company store, then Pinkerton 2.0

I love how they want us to constantly buy and consume yet despise the idea of paying us money to actually be able to do so…

Of course they did, they want to “fix” the various decisions of the last 10, 20, 50+ years until the US is a single-party Christian‐ruled white ethnostate. They’d ban gay marriage today and start shooting queers tomorrow if they could, but they can’t (yet).

The hottest take is that the voting age should automatically slide to be the youngest age someone has been tried as an adult in the justice system…

he should be directing the DoE to be buying up as much privately-held student loans as possible, bringing them under federal control and thus more easily forgiven/repaid.

He could be doing a lot more to make contraceptives and even abortion accessible on land under Federal Jurisdiction. He wants to play by the “rules” though.

There’s nothing stopping him from using executive and federal power in this way except his own fears and a desire to be “normal” at a time when the United States teeters on complete backsliding to it’s worst policies in history.
