Illegal contracts are not enforceable in court. You’ll have to hire another contract killer to kill the contract-breaking contract killer.

Signing a petition is public, who you cast your vote for is private.

If there were any doubts on the signatures, officials can contact the people who signed and verify that they did sign. How do you verify a secret vote without ruining the secrecy?

I mean you can have online voting if you cast a ballot thats public, and it’d be verifiable, but then we go back to the 1800s in the US where threatening voters is a thing.

You have 3 elements:

1: Internet voting

2: Secrecy

3: Verifiable

Pick 2.

Who’s the mugger now?

2020 (or was it 2021, dont remember) new years in NYC time square was so depressing. Just empty. Like an apocalypse.

Whaaa? No way! 🤯

If open source is so great, why did Truecrypt get shutdown?

Step 1: Become a cat

Step 2: ???

Step 3: Free Housing?

The military currently leans conservative, but not nessesary maga-conservative.

If the military was maga-conservative, they would just refuse to recognize the 2020 election and illegally keep trump in office.

A future restructuring of the military might actually make it maga-conservative.

Great, so a trump-appointed high ranking general gets to take over and establish a military rule? (You know he’s gonna be firing generals and the senate will allow him to install a maga general.)

Bruh, if Covid happened under this 2025 trump administration, I might actually become vaccine skeptical, at least for the hypothetical covid vaccine in this scenario.

Would trust a trump-vaccine? Or more like a RFK Jr. -vaccine?

Oh fuck so my depression could be considered a pre existing condition then. Im currently on my parents insurance plan since I’m still a dependent, but when I eventually have to get my own insurance, thats a pre existing condition according to the prospective new insurer?

Fuck. Im kinda pre-diebetic since my depression fucked with my will to live, soon I might be diabetic and without ACA protection I’m kinda fucked when insurance eventually decide to not insure diabetic people.

My parents have some investments, but even if I inherit some of it, not sure if that would cover expensive big pharma bills.

I’mma go cry in a corner. (actually im too numb from the horrors on tuesday, too sad to even cry 😥)

I genuenly don’t know how ACA works. Most people get insurance through their employer, is that affected by ACA? Not sure of the exact search terms to find the answer for it.

Trigger warning: Topic of Suicide

When I was a kid, my mom would read the news about some famous people who killed themselves, or some random college kid killing themselves, and she told me those stories and ask me what I thought of it. I thought they were stupid for killing themselves, because nothing could possibly be worse than death, I thought, childhood me chouldn’t understand the thought of suicide.

Then I slowly became depressed and I became so bored of life and I became a suicidal person that younger me would’ve looked at me and think it’s stupid.

Well I did not really did a serious attempt, but I did like very reckless things like I once took an entire month supply of antidepressants desparately wanting to feel better, I did this like I think 5 times. I also took like 15 sleeping pills at a time for like serveral times within a few months. I even took like like 30 then my body just couldnt handle it and I threw up. I also ignored health advice like getting vaccinated for covid (don’t judge, my head wasn’t even in the right place to think clearly) even tho I am usually pro vaccine, I just decided I wanted to increase my odds of dying. Well I didn’t die, which kinda sucks. I also don’t really care about my weight and just eat whatever I felt like. I’m pre diabetic, might get diabetes. I might have stomach issues with GERD or whatever but I dont even care.

I’m not brave enough to end it immediately, so I’m just slowly killing my self.

Oh yea dont even get me started on how my depression got me into a fight in high school that ended up with me detained for a few hours at the police station. I didn’t start the fight but whatever. F the police.

My life is just a downward spiral, recent election results is pushing me towards the edge. Never forsaw this shitty future.

My parents contantly regurgitates propaganda from wechat about how democrats in NYC are letting homess people and migrants ruin everything.

We dont even live in NYC.

I told her to vote Harris and she did (she didn’t even know how to fill out a ballot I had to tell her how to) but then later she said “maybe we shouldn’t vote for democrats” because of the homeless shelters built near Chinese populations in NYC (which is a fair grivence, but I dont see how republicans are gonna solve it better). Abosolutely no independent thought and no critical thinking just parroting whatever the last person said.

She doesn’t understand that the “homeless” or “migrants” are just dogwhistles referring to people like us who maga republicans deem inferior.

Devs are allegedly Marxist-Leninists.

Redditors dont understand that devs dont exactly have full control of open source software, that different instances are not operated by the devs.

Edit: Lemmy devs to be specific

Depends if you are 19 or 119?

(119 is technically a “teen” ager? no?)

Dude, if you quit, a Maga is taking your place. The last thing we need is more extremist infiltration of the government.

Stay, we need you. Your country needs you.

If there is any shady things happenning, we need you to be a whisleblower.

I’m gonna mostly copy paste my answer from another question I answered:

What will happen is the judge would give a slap on the wrist sentence like a fine and call it a day.

Because the alternative is the judge giving a prison sentence and then the president goes “The NY Courts have made their decision, now let them enforce it” essentially creating a State vs Federal government political crisis.

Spoilers, the Federal government wins.

What if NY gonna do, send agents to somehow get past the SS to arrest the president?

If that was even attempted, the president would invoke insurrection act and arrest the governor/judge/ whoever gave the order for the arrest and flip the narrative, claiming the state officials are attempting a coup.

Edit: Also, giving him a prison sentence before he takes office wouldn’t do anything either. Even if the Biden-led SS cooperates, on Jan 20 at noon he is president and the military is getting him out, he’d the order the arrest of NY state officials.

We’re about to see how strong federalism really is. Federalism would either be the last defence against a autocracizing Federal government, or prove to be another joke.

(idk if I even spelled autocracizing correctly, too tired of this bullshit to spell)
