  • You’re missing my point. A singular member of congress has zero authority, nor avenue to accomplish, arresting a sitting president. It isn’t just “it isn’t done, don’t do that” it’s “there’s no way to accomplish that.”

  • No, no. Those don’t count. Because it’s convenient.

  • Then how are they there to make amends with? Makes no sense.

  • Sour patch kids style?

  • Is sour crude oil only a little sour, or like… really sour?

  • I mean, you don’t actually expect that to be possible right? Think of the implication that would have, where republicans would just arrest the president for wearing a tan suit.

    I get that these are more obvious crimes, but the idea that a single member of the house could mobilize any kind of force to arrest the sitting president is insanity.

  • To an extent I agree with you. The “problem” comes when people slowly start to realize that and open them or throw them out. At which point the items actually can become worth something. Though again, unlikely.

    Part of the problem with most collectibles “meant” to be “worth something eventually”, are packaged in such a way that they are “enjoyable” in the packaging. You can put a sealed Funko or Beanie Baby on a shelf and you’re looking at the item itself. There’s no reason to open them.

    If you truly want a “collectible”, purchase something like a game console and keep it in its box for fifty years.

  • Theoretically, it is possible that 70 years down the line it might actually be worth something, assuming it is still new in box, undamaged, and it is of something that is still culturally relevant.

    But the chances are so slim as to make it a worse gamble than the stock market.

  • The ear is about the only thing this really works with. There’s not much special going on with it, it’s just shaped flesh and cartilage. You don’t even need nerves in the ear to use it, since literally everything happens inside your head.

    You couldn’t do this with pretty much anything else really.

  • “In the interest of unity, we are changing the rules of voting so that only those votes which further our agenda count.”

  • Clever girl

  • It boils down to a fungus adapting to climate change enough that it can survive inside the human body. The sci-fi bit is that it is a cordyceph capable of parasitically taking over the human body.

  • I’m down:

    • Single payer medical/dental/vision insurance
    • Implement UBI
    • Taxes based on a curve of net worth up to 100%
    • Universal ranked choice voting
    • Abolish my dictatorship

    Might throw other things in there, but I think it’d be the shortest lived dictatorship in history.

  • You played or seen Last Of Us? Like that except without the sci-fi mind control.

  • Lemmy is also full of humans, with their filthy human thoughts and opinions.

  • You must be too young to remember the months out of date mess that was the typical Windows system back in the XP days. Forget “I don’t have the latest service pack” it was more “I am still vulnerable to a two year old “zero day”!”

  • iPhones at least can now detect hold music and offer to simulate a callback so you don’t have to sit and listen.

  • I dunno, this screams of “I want to be an asshole with no way for anyone to stop me.”
