  • Maybe - MAYBE 5% of Americans are involved in protest

    It's a lot less than that. 5% (or even 3.5%, which is what the research says is necessary to win) would be an incredible success.

  • What? There are dozens and dozens of younger countries. Or do you think they don't count because brown people live there?

    South Sudan, for instance, is barely a decade and a half old.

    Just because you can work around the abuse doesn't mean they aren't abusing you.

    Edit: people like the commenter above are actively making the world worse by normalizing and even excusing abusive corporate practices. I apologize for nothing!

  • Linux Snap Users Warned as Attackers Push Malware Through Old Trusted Apps

    Jump

  • Sure is a good thing Ubuntu doesn't sometimes sneakily install a Snap when you try to use apt to install a package, such as with Firefox. Tricking users into using Snap without realizing it, making them unknowingly vulnerable to exploits like this, would be really really bad and unethical on Canonical's part.

  • How are you gonna get your stroller, walker, or wheelchair from the train station to your actual destination without a sidewalk?

  • Percent of Americans who depend on cars to get to work

    Jump

  • The fact remains that the local bike infrastructure is much more valuable to me than a transit system with shitty last-mile connections is. The reason I can't get to Costco via MARTA, for instance, is that the nearest station dumps you out on a six-lane highway with no bike lane. (The bike infrastructure is decent near my house, but not out in the suburbs where the Costcos are.)

    Transit is almost entirely useless unless you can walk or bike from the station to your actual destination. That makes ped/bike infrastructure a prerequisite for transit, not the other way around.

  • Trump’s Insane New Threat Leaves No Doubt: It’s Time for the 25th Amendment

  • Did Reagan threaten war with NATO?

  • Second amendement amendement

  • But also, "militia" was and is defined to mean roughly "every able-bodied adult male." It was very clearly about preserving the ability for the citizenry to assemble to defend themselves militarily. (That's specifically in contrast to having a standing professional army, which is supposed to be unconstitutional BTW.)

  • Second amendement amendement

    Jump

  • The second amendment is meant to protect the public's ability, not "right," to overthrow a tyrannical government by protecting their legal right to maintain the tools to do so. That's because once such a rebellion actually starts, "legal rights" become irrelevant since the validity of the state itself is being challenged.

    So no, you can't use the 2nd Amendment as a defense in the incumbent government's courts. You can only use it to win, replacing the government and not having to face a trial at all.

    (Also, to be clear, the 2nd is definitely about rebelling against tyranny, not hunting or self-defense against crime or whatever else the liberals try to twist it as -- remember, it was written by folks who had literally just finished doing the same.)

  • Nobody pays attention to the dateline, just the Lemmy thread comments and maybe the title. You're in the minority if you even click the link.

    My comment was for the benefit of the majority, so they don't miss the strike.

  • Percent of Americans who depend on cars to get to work

  • You’re not going to live your life within biking distance.

    In my household, we:

    • bike daily for commuting and errands
    • drive maybe a couple of times a month (infrequently enough that I have problems keeping the car battery charged) to go out to the suburbs for Costco, Microcenter, or visiting my parents -- things that are "wants," not "needs"
    • use public transit almost never (basically only to go downtown for Dragon-Con because I get nervous about leaving my expensive cargo e-bike parked there all day)

    And that's in Atlanta, a city not exactly known for its bike network, let alone for its public transit.

    simply have a reliable option to commute during a thunderstorm or when it’s freezing.

    That's called "wearing appropriate clothes." I have bike-commuted through rain so hard that I had to re-grease the bottom bracket afterward because that's how deep the puddles were. We had an "arctic blast" last week with -10 to -15 C wind chill (not that it matters on a bike -- there's always wind chill riding at speed); my wife and I were commuting and taking the kids to school by bike anyway. IDGAF.

    In practice, the only thing that causes me not to bike is mechanical failure, and frankly, my bikes are more reliable than my cars.

  • You're 100% right on the mechanics of it, but only 90% right overall. There is one small thing you might not be considering: Republicans might be more supportive of removing an "incapacitated" president than impeaching a tyrannical one because of the less damaging connotation of it.

  • ‘Completely lost his mind’: Trump's 'deranged' letter sends shockwaves across the globe

    Jump

  • Is there a word for typoing a different homophone even though you knew damn well which one was correct?

    Anyway, my point was, waiting for him to die of old age is not a solution. Positive action must be taken to get rid of him.
