He transformed into a squid and flew away from this wretched planet.

Probably on the way to Alpha Centauri on a Squid-Spaceship

πŸ¦‘πŸš€πŸŒŒ

Its probably better place than whatever this hellhole we live on. Perhaps, its a planet of Hyper-Intelligent Squid-People! (Squids are some of the smartest creatures, according to certain scientists, who knows what Earth could've been without Humans)

Maybe they'll even have their own Squid Game? πŸ€”

(Wait, what does a planet of Squids call their Squid Game? πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”)

Cool, lemmy test it:

My parents just pull the "mix cheap catfood with the expensive catfood" trick

You had me till the "work" part 😾

"Jury Nullification" does not "exist" (as in, its not really part of the law), its merely the term we use to describe the logical consequence of the two facts:

  1. When a jury renders a "not guilty" verdict, its final and cannot be overturned (in most of the countries today that uses juries)

  2. The jurors cannot be punished for making the "wrong" verdict

Therefore, a Juror could just... refuse to convict even if theres overwhelming evidence. So the juror thinks the defendent is guilty, but gives the verdict of "not guilty". That is what we call "Jury Nullification".

Examples:

Abolitionists refusing to convict escaped slaves.

White supremacists refuse to convict mobs who lynched innocent black people.

See that's the issue, it could be used for good, but could also be used for evil.

Once you mention it in the jury instructions, the likelihood of jury nullification goes up.

As to why they aren't supposed to do that, its because they are supposed to be judges of facts, not judge of law (aka: they have to decide solely on the evidence, and should not decide on things like constitutionality of the law or morals/ethics, its in the Juror Instructions to judge only on the facts. But there's nothing stopping a juror from just silently ignoring those instructions. Judges are not mindreaders.

They just can't talk about it, because it would be contempt of court (since they'd be going against juror instructions), at least until deliberations begin, once that happens, (as far as I know) I think they could talk about it, but I'm not sure if the judge could declare a mistrial if they find out. But in order to do a jury nullification, all the jurors (if the trial is in the USA) would have to agree to vote "not guilty" anyways as jury decisions need to be unanimous, and if they all agree to just ignore the evidence, nobody would be snitching to the judge, so the judge wouldn't know anyways. (Jury Deliberation proceedings happens in secret amongst the jurors).

I’m just curious how this all works in practice. If jurors can ultimately do whatever they want, what stops them from using nullification all the time?

You just avoid mentioning Jury Nullification. Try to get on the jury, then in deliberations, try to sow doubts on the evidence. Remember: you need everyone to agree on the verdict, or else its a hung jury and there will be a new jury chosen for a new trial, and the prosecution can keep trying forever until a verdict had been reached (or the prosecution gives up, or the judge dismisses the case with prejudice).

Use phrases like:

"Are we sure this is the perpetrator?"

"What if the prosecution is wrong?"

"Maybe they caught the wrong person?"

"This evidence looks suspicious to me"

"I think the defendent is being framed"

etc...

Try to hide the fact thay you are trying to use jury nullification

I'm not sure if you can talk about it after deliberations begin (I am not a lawyer), but if you are desparate to get the unaninimity to acquit, you could just out yourself and be like: "Are we really gonna convict this person? The victim deserved it!" (Again, I am not a lawyer, this could get you in trouble if a juror snitches on you).

Hopefully we don't have to use the 4th box of liberty πŸ‘€

Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader. Said he would vote no on the maga funding bills... then the next day changed his mind like the coward he is.

In current Senate Rules, 60 votes are needed to end discussion (aka: cloture) in order to prceed to a vote. republicans only have a simple majority so they would need a few democrats in order to pass the bill. But Chuck the Cuck just told the democrats to vote yes.

If you murdered every murderer, you should get enough points to go to The Good Place, right?

Hypothetically speaking of course. I'm obliged by lemmy.world rules to state that I do not condone murder. πŸ˜‰

 

Especially in cases of Naturalization.

Like, if the monarch goes against the constitution, do you fight for the monarch, or defend the parliament/cabinet?

Edit:

UK Oath:

I, (name), swear by Almighty God that, on becoming a British citizen, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles III, his Heirs and Successors, according to law.

Canada (A British Commonwealth) Oath:

I swear (or affirm) That I will be faithful And bear true allegiance To His Majesty King Charles the Third King of Canada His Heirs and Successors And that I will faithfully observe The laws of Canada Including the Constitution Which recognizes and affirms The Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and MΓ©tis peoples And fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen.


So...

πŸ€”

I mean on the one hand, they are more democratic than the US, on the other hand, symbolically, it just feels wrong to me.

I don't mind pledging allegience to a constitution, but to a monarch... is quite... uncomfortable, even if its a Constitutional Monarchy. πŸ€”

 

To re-iterate, every place gets their own separate room. You must be physically in a place to join their chatroom.

 

Stop using encryption, why do you want "Military" technology? What are you, some kind of terrorist? /s

 

Like, there's a lot of people freaking out about Apple ending End to End encryption in iCloud in UK. I'm just like: So What? It was probably backdoored from the beginning

So is Big Tech's E2E actually not backdoored? Or is that just a PR stunt to trick people into trusting iCloud, and this is a secret honeypot? πŸ€”

What are your thoughts?

 
 

Okay so I'm Gen Z so for the older generations, this might not make sense to you. But basically, this is my experience with life as a Gen Z:

When I was in high school some years ago, everyone in my class had smartphones, and I did, but I'm horrible at taking care of my stuff, so I kinda just broke a lot of phones.

When I was in Middle School, I had one in like Grade 7, I broke it in like about a year, then in Grade 8, I also broke in in a year. It was some budget phones that did not have any water resistance, and did not have gorilla glass like modern day smartphone do. So, I don't even have to explain, I don't remember what exactly happened, but its probably a combinations of drops or water damage, plus budget phones are very poorly designed. And in Grade 9, I also got a phone, and broke it in a few months. And, since I didn't really have a job (already stuggling at school and my parents were not struggling financially in any way so... yea there was kinda no push for me to get a job, don't judge pls), and my parent's weren't very happy with me breaking stuff so often, so I never got a phone ever again. I mean, they could afford it, but they were reluctant, and I didn't wanna push for it since I felt bad for asking.

So basically I spent like the rest of high school not having a phone at all.

When ever there was a class assignment that required doing online research, the school would often not have any chromebooks available (this was in like 2018 to 2020, for context), so teachers just asked the class to use their phones to do research in class. So there was valuable class time that I WAS UNABLE TO DO THE ASSIGNMENT. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ And this happend quite often. So often that I lost count. Probably over 100 times throught highschool. So I just sad there, bored, doodling on a piece of paper. Sometimes its worse when it was a CLASS ASSIGNMENT that aas due at the end of class, and the teacher had to ask a classmate to lend me their phone, or the teacher had to lend me their laptop so I can do the research or whatever that it was. Makes me feel like a caveman lol and I felt awkward af.

Also, my acquaintances (I never felt like they were "friends") all have smartphones, but I didn't so we kinda didn't have a connection outside of school. No jokes, no shittalking teachers behind their backs, no meme sharing. I kinda felt left out. I mean it didn't even matter if I had android, MMS groupchats still would've worked, and some circles used discord.

But I didn't have a phone... so FOMO to the maximum. And thats probably why the acquaintances remained acquaintances.

These days, everyone is on their phones. If yiu didn't have one, you stood out. Like the standard thing when there was no assignments, boom, everyone pulls out their phone. Substitute teacher, boom, everyone on their phones. Lunch time, boom, phones. On a school trip, phones. Any "downtime" is apparantly phone time. And of course, its fueled by boredom, before phones, people probably just got bored and stared into space. So I get why people use their phones. But they could also TALK TO EACH OTHER. Today, if you tried to have a conversation, you're a weirdo. Its all just Instagrams, Snapchat, and lately, fucking TikToks 🀨 (circa 2020).

So at lunch time, I'm just some weirdo doodling, or finishing homework assignments because why do it at home, when there a whole free lunch period that have nothing to do?

And the worst thing is this thing called "Kahoot", its a classroom game thingy where the teacher sets up like a "game room" where the class joins it using their phones to answer (class related) questions, sort of like a quiz, or sometimes its just a fun practice thing. And you get a score for getting it right, and also extra point for getting it faster. So sometimes the first place gets extra credits, sometimes the 2nd and 3rd also get extra credits. But you need a phone to participate, and I don't have one. Meaning, no chance for extra credits. Like, Fuck My Life lol.

So yea...

TLDR: Everyone these days just expect you to have a phone, in school, in social life, in work, everywhere, and, according to society, you're a "weirdo" if you don't have one.

 

So I learned that if a MicroSD card gets snapped in half, its unrecoverable.

Okay, so suppose you were in war, and enemy soldiers were about to raid you. You just snap the cards in half and the data is un-recoverable, right?

 

I'm talking like photos of important moments of your life, and perhaps deceased loved ones or deceased pets. Maybe favorite TV, Movies, Youtube videos, stuff that might be lost when you get released. Let's say like 1-5 terabytes worth of stuff.

Hard Drives at home wouldn't be an option, since they'd get confiscated. If you bury a hard drive in the woods, it could get corroded.

I was thinking foreign cloud, but then you wouldn't be able to keep paying the subscription since they'd probably try to seize your assets.

"Lifetime" cloud plans are kinds shady, I'm not sure if I could trust them.

So... what are the options? (Hypothetically)

And yes, budget is a huge factor. A person facing persecution would not have billions to create a dedicated building to store an archive.
