Trump inadvertently tackling climate change by making animals unsafe to eat.

Yeah, I’m highly dubious that the 135 figure includes speculative future problems that will inevitably crop up from the damages done. While I’m sure that there is some amount of actual bureaucratic waste that was going on, there’s no way the savings from that is going to cover the true cost which won’t be fully apparent for years.

It’s judge arrests all the way down!

I don’t think that’s an extreme misrepresentation. Trump himself told them exactly what he was going to do, so there was certainly at least some amount of head-burrying-in-sand going on. The main message that was present on Lemmy but not in legacy media was that “Yes, he is in fact going to do what he says he will.”

There were two possibilities: either you thought he was a doddering idiot that wasn’t going to follow through on anything he said, in which case why in the nine hells would you choose him as your president? Or, he was going to do exactly what he said, in which case, why in the nine hells would you choose him as your president?

The problem is that most of the people who voted for him were being selectively optimistic about what he would and wouldn’t do. They let him be everything to everyone, and just hand-waved the glaring problems away.

I don’t know how you can fix this massive self delusion issue without fixing education and teaching people to think critically, but education has been under attack for nearly as long as I can recall in the US.

That said, I agree this whole “I told you so” attitude isn’t particularly useful, it certainly is cathartic, though.

• the implication that Trump does anything himself
• the implication that another human could be that bad at hair and makeup

Okay, got my guilty laugh of the day out of the way. Thanks.

This. Aviation has had an incredible safety record over the last 10+ years. That we’ve had multiple accidents, even minor ones, over the last several months is a huge departure from modern industry standards, and is quite concerning for the future of the aviation industry.

Hwat?

How could you possibly interpret it in any other way?

“I said to them, was there any sign of love?” Trump said, recounting his conversation with released hostages.

“Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?” Trump said, absurdly comparing the hostages’ situation to the Holocaust, which murdered six million Jews.

“People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress,” the president went on, suggesting that the Nazis were known for their generosity.

You can’t make this level of stupidity up.

Also, I suppose one way to get cars off the roads is to leave them in such severe disrepair that nobody can drive.

I think VPN is the proper way to go about this, but another method is to do port knocking with fkwnop so your SSH port won’t respond until the host receives a magic packet.

Yeah, we need to be asking what the purpose of trying the child in question as an adult here is:

Rehabilitation - I think the juvenile system would probably be better suited for this purpose, so no.

Deterrence - I don’t think the knowledge that they might be tried as an adult has much bearing on their decision to commit the crime. I’d be willing to wager that people who do this sort of thing don’t much care what the consequences are. They’ve given up on themselves and their own lives.

Removal - This strikes me as the main motivator. If the system has no way to rehabilitate, and recidivism is likely, then what other option is there?

Retribution - As much as the US loves its retribution, usually it’s less keen to enact it on children. I’m sure some people would be happy about this aspect though.

Retaliation - I’ll let y’all judge off of the tone of the rest of the comments for this one.

Surprise, surprise. Yet another accusation turns out to be an admission. Colour me shocked.
