A friend from Italy told me that they keep the best cheese for themselves and export the rest.

Lemmy.world takes the official stance of blocking VPNs:

The maximum age for the President, or someone in the Senate/Congress should be based on a percentage of the average livespan of everyone in the country.

It’s adaptive and also incentivizes them to make choices which will benefit everyone’s health, rather than the health of the elite.

Yeah, but we can all see the model logs and what you both are actually saying.
Pretending that this is about “calling out a deleted comment” and ignoring the part where you insulted the mod is being disingenuous.

While shadow banning is an option, it’s also a terrible idea because of how it will eventually get used.

Just look at how Reddit uses it today.

The easy solution is to just disable overdraft protection, and that’s exactly what will happen.

I cropped out the screenshot here:

To be fair, what we specifically have is a republic, although we do have democratic voting to elect our representatives.

Some of those representatives take the stance that they can choose whatever they want best, regardless of what their constituents want, because they were voted in.

Other representatives take the stance that they should vote for whatever the majority of their constituents want.

AI can be very useful, the problem here is humans trusting it to be accurate all the time.

In this case it should be used to narrow down results, but even then the police need to do their job. They need to do an actual investigation to gather evidence that they have the right person before even attempting to make am arrest.

Even removing AI from the picture entirely doesn’t solve this problem. Just look at wrongful arrests that have been made simply because a wanted criminal has the exact same name as someone else.

In most cases, it’s a slam dunk win unless things went really wrong. (say a pandemic)

I think people are severely overestimating how much of an impact being an incumbent actually has with the final results. In smaller elections this definitely has a big impact, but in the entirety of the US history we’ve only had 27 presidents run for reelection, and 9 of them have lost.

That’s a ~67% win rate for incumbent presidents, which isn’t terrible, but isn’t great either, and with a terrible sample size.

I’d rather have “star” or “approval” voting, but I’ll take ranked choice voting over what we’ve currently got.

I think the consequences will be different for every case and based on what was done.

This ruling is a major step forward so that cases can actually be brought against corrupt politicians who are abusing their power in this way.

In this case, Sylvia was falsely accused, arrested, and then the charges were dropped a day later.

That’s different when compared to Trump where he went through the court system and was found guilty on all counts.

Link to the court’s opinion, if anyone is interested in reading through it:

So, roughly a radius of ~415 Miles (667km).

They’re gonna have to build a wall to keep the water out!

Corporations are big into lobbying. “Studies” like this help them to convince lawmakers to make decisions that benefit them.

In this case, they might not be able to easily lower minimum wage, but they can say that it’s been a burden and try to get a break in other ways.

Poe’s Law, should have included a “/s” at least. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe’s_law
