Fuck that, we proclaim to be the rightful USA, and declare the current administration to be an unlawful government and traitors to the republic.

We seize DC and restore the rule of law.

And keep the red states as territories, they don't get statehood this time. Not making the same mistake as the union did in the Civil War. We're doing a full reconstruction this time.

You wouldn't print these T-Shirts

The problem is, the people who wrote the 14th amendment didn't specify how that is supposed to be enforced.

Criminal conviction? Well trump was only convicted of a state charge of fraud, not insurrection.

Simple majority of congress? Republican congress could just ban democrats.

2/3 Supermajority of congress? It'll never pass

Supreme court? Well, a majority of them is republican.

If its too easy to invoke it, it could be weaponized against progressive candidates. They'd just declare BLM protests as "insurrection" and ban them from the ballot.

No, but every rental unit in the US is now owned by Musk. 🙃

 

Like usually every minute I'd quickly look around to make sure there aren't weirdos following me.

For context: I'm a young-adult male, but I don't exactly have training in martial arts or anything, so I'm every time I see anyone that looks "tough" I don't feel safe.

When I was a kid, my parents told me the usual "stranger danger" talk. Also in movies and tv, there are usualy a lot of plot involving peoppe getting followed, and the victim never looks back. In crime stories, and in the news, people usually become a victim if a bad person follows them home.

So when I went to school as a kid/teen, I'd always be scanning my surroundings like very often, especially when nearing home, I'd be like looking around every 20 seconds to see if there's weirdos following.

Even as a young adult, I kinda still have this instinct. I mean, we hear about crime everywhere. I don't exactly live in a "slum", but I live in a big city, and more people generally means more crime, and statistically, crime is sort of an issue where I live, I mean, it'a a city, you know how it is. This is in the US btw.

I don't carry a gun, don't wanna have intrusive thoughts about killing myself so I don't want that, so I carry pepper spray just in case.

I mean, I'm probably not gonna change my behavior, I think its good to be cautious, this question is just me trying to see if there's anyone else out there think thinks like me.

That's the double edge sword of a lifetime apppintment, they are beholden to no one after getting appointed (nothing short of a 2/3 senate conviction or illegal autocoups)

Our research shows that phone scammers often try to trick people into performing specific actions to initiate a scam, like changing default device security settings or granting elevated permissions to an app. These actions can result in spying, fraud, and other abuse by giving an attacker deeper access to your device and data. To combat phone scammers, we’re working to block specific actions and warn you of these sophisticated attempts. This happens completely on device and is applied only with conversations with non-contacts.

Android’s new in-call protections1 provide an additional layer of defense, preventing you from taking risky security actions during a call like:

  • Disabling Google Play Protect, Android’s built-in security protection, that is on by default and continuously scans for malicious app behavior, no matter the download source.
  • Sideloading an app for the first time from a web browser, messaging app or other source – which may not have been vetted for security and privacy by Google.
  • Granting accessibility permissions, which can give a newly downloaded malicious app access to gain control over the user's device and steal sensitive/private data, like banking information.

Bruh, if you are falling for simple stuff like a stanger telling you to chance settings over a phone call, you're cooked.

No "protection" can save you.

Its forced assimulation just like what the US did to the natives of America. If what the US did was genocide (it is), then what PRC is doing to Xinjiang and Tibet is also genocide.

I think you might have an old budger phone.

Budget phones are notorious for having very inaccurate GPS antennas, so the locations would be wild all over the place (I know from experience). If you used such a phone, you'd assume that you need internet for GPS, which isn't true. (I had thay assumption once) GPS is a separate part of your phone, and should be reliable even without internet.

Midrange phones should have a reliable enough GPS, and perhaps even budget ones, if it's modern enough and from a reputable manufacurer.

Since you mentioned the US, you can go to Bestbuy and just look though their GPS units, they are anywhere from $50 to $200, those standalone units should be the most reliable, but for those, you'll need to update the maps via a computer frequently, or you might end up getting directions through a road that might not exist anymore.

Or just any modern phone with a local pre-downloaded map would work as well, although phone GPS is slightly less accurate than a standalone GPS unit. Phone maps would be easier to update, becaude you don't need to download extra software or connect to a computer.

Cash me c/outside, how 'bout dat?

 

Hello, fellow Digital Solipcists...

wait a minute... Y'all aren't even real.

Its all just bots here

🧐

(Is anyone there? I mean, anyone that's real 🤔🤔🤔)

 

I mean, just declare a republic ffs.

 

The entertainment industry is so sad 😓

 

Rules:

  • History of the world before your birth remains the same; only events happing after your birth can be changed.
  • The other version of you must still be alive, you cannot go to a world that you are dead in. (This essentially forces you to murder/abduct your alt-self, so travelling has a ethical cost to it 😉)
  • There may be other multiverse travellers out there

(Btw, is it ethical to murder an alternate version of your self? Is that even murder or just self-harm technically?)

 

Really puts into perspective how much humanity have evolved.

When ever I wonder about something, I can just conjure it and have it in the palm of my hand.

Galaxies, star systems, the map of the entire world, history, geopolitics, real time events from across the world.

I mean, yes, bad things still happen in the world, but its just so... amazing, intruguing, awesome, and also absurd how we can just know almost anything and everything if we are willing to search for the topic.

The world seems bigger, and ourselves seem smaller.

What the fuck is life? Its so... strange...

When I was a kid, space felt so magnificient.

But now I'm dealing with depression, and the universe feels kinda existential.

I look at humanity and felt so amazed at the cooperation that built civillizations.

But simultaneously see the hatred between groups of people, and it feels depressing.

Edit: I don't know what this post is supposed to be, kinda just wanna talk into the void of the internet, share some thoughts. I don't have friends to talk to, wanna talk to some Lemmy strangers I guess... 👀

 

Because... "firearms"

 

I'm trying to find an audio book of a popular book series. But when I start looking, I only found one of the audio books of a trilogy. (looking through the links in the megathread/wiki)

I'm not sure why the 2nd and 3rd audiobook of the triligy can't be found, it should be popular enough that someone would've share it. It came out like a decade ago.

I found all 3 books (like the text-only book), but I'm kinda annoyed I can't find the audio books.

 

I can never know if someone is supposed to be dead or not. Okay so the protagonists beat a bunch of the anatagonist's goons in battle, did you kill them? Or did they become unconcious?

It's literally never explained.

 

Rules:

  • The messages can go as far back as the beginning of the 7 day period (the moment you found out about your assassin is after you)
  • You can only send the messages if you have cell signal (maybe don't hide in the woods, you assassin might be there, and you don't get a do-over 🙃)
  • Your phone is immune to damage and malware (although spyware and keyloggers can still be on there, but they can't affect the system, just on "read only" mode). Auto-updates are now disabled by default
  • If assassin got your phone, they could send false messages to trick your past self. (Don't lose your phone!)
  • At the end of 7 days, the Assassin will just drop dead due to time travel limitations, time travelers cannot survive longer than 7 days in the past (yes, the assassin is a time traveler 😉)

  • Each language has their unique encoding of their language represented in pulses of light.
  • Written text remains the same
  • The light is beamed from the human head in 360 degrees when ever they communicate, visible for up to 1KM
  • Instumental music still works, and people can still hear things, just not talk.
  • People currenly alive will instantly know how to communicate with light in equivalent proficiency to their speech proficiency before the scenario happening, but everyone born from now on will have to learn from the adults.

Remember: Light cannot penetrate walls
