The boll weevil was not added until thirty years later, when Luther Baker thought the Boll Weevil Monument should have a boll weevil on it.

“We didn’t mean to send you that stupid letter, it was so so stupid, you should have known it was stupid when we sent it to you.”

• “That sounds like a you problem”
• “So if we’d agreed you would have said never mind don’t worry about it forget all that?”
• “Apology accepted. Contact us if you need anything else”

I feel like this is the kind of question that needs a whole lot of details before it is answerable.

Tax fraud? Absolutely fuck not.

Drunk driving? Probably I would give them a single “Hey next time I find out you’re doing that I am calling the cops on you” warning shot.

Stealing from their company? Depends, what does the company do and who owns it? Again almost certainly not.

And so on.

I feel like you actually probably can drive air into the empty spaces (that’s exactly how your lungs work), if you can somehow make a tight enough seal on the person’s nipple, but it would be incredibly dangerous because of embolism. Don’t do it.

Humans are like this with all sorts of stuff. Capsaicin? Nicotine? Hook me up. Dangerous animal? Hey that shit’s fancy let’s put it where people can look at it. Dangerous environment? Let’s go there that sounds fun as hell.

Humans are great. Humans are monsters. Mostly, humans aren’t done yet, but we’re trying.

Lemmy’s core development team are communists, of a very bizarre and inconsistent type that is openly or semi-openly in favor of massive command-economy-capitalist countries like China and Russia even when they are engaged in imperialist conduct. They’re weird. Idk what’s up with it. A lot of the core historical instances still have that mindset and are sometimes so obnoxious about demanding that everyone else needs to also that they are banned from the more recent more mainstream-thinking instances.

Generalizations are tough but I think it’s safe to say that 90% of everyone else on Lemmy is some variety of vague-leftist roughly in the mold of Bernie Sanders, which depending on your personal Overton window you may define anywhere from “disgusting liberal who betrayed the movement by voting for Kamala Harris” to “Communist.”

Hope this helps

Oh so now all of a sudden we care about the law

Are you comfortable running a little python script to do it? I’ve done something like this for myself for exactly the same reason, I could polish it up and show you and you could use it locally for yourself.

The scenes I’ve seen of people around Trump, making sure to kiss his ass and over-emphasize with nervous straight faces what a genius he is and how well things are going, are the stuff of nightmares.

In the speech, Kratsios emphasized the importance of American leadership in emerging technologies and criticized regulatory burdens that, in his view, had slowed progress. “We have weighed down our builders and innovators,” he said. “But we are capable of so much more.”

“Can we get some comments from the innovators?”

“No we fired them.”

Yeah. This is why we have judges. A really surprisingly large amount of a judge’s job is looking at the situation and saying, more or less, “You know what? That’s a bunch of bullshit. Here’s what we’re going to do.”

That’s the whole reason there is “precedent” and then sometimes precedent gets overturned. They’re just using their, you know… judgement. There’s a whole interplay of written laws vs. what happened before vs. what should happen now, it’s not just like the judge is the CPU and then they execute the law like a program and then output a judgement.

The Wall Street Journal reported as part of a story detailing the billionaire’s mega plans to have a “legion” of children to address the issue of declining human population

I absolutely could not believe that this is true. This has to be someone misunderstanding or exaggerating something. Even Elon Musk is not this psychotic.

From https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-ashley-st-clair-legion-babies_n_67ffef3ee4b0485a7732a835 is this:

Elon Musk is directly messaging women on his social media platform, X, to solicit them to have his babies in order to grow a “legion” of kids with high intelligence as part of his mission to save “civilization,” The Wall Street Journal reports.

Sources told WSJ that Musk, who currently has at least 14 children with four women, wants to build a “legion” of children because he believes “civilization is going to crumble” due to declining birthrates.

I still can’t believe that it’s real.

It’s a fun day when I see a new talking point.

I thought about doing the math to demonstrate that it’s not true, but I feel like just having a good belly laugh and moving on is probably a better use of my time.

I think he thinks women are icky and scary. Vaginas, he likes.

I’ve seen people display coffee sacks or other industrial folderol in pretty much exactly this way. I think it’s probably just random decoration.

Looks like it’s fine, it’s just been quiet.

Yeah bo
