Okay. Next Dem President should with Congress create a new Judicial Reform Office. Use the unitary executive power the conservative justices so endow and fire the Supremely Corrupt Six.

You're absolutely right, it's intentional: Those justices intentionally switch off the part of their brain that deciphers what words actually mean when they write dissents with this bs

The acceptance of these late-arriving ballots effectively postpones the date on which the electorate’s choice is made

The act of ballots getting to the counting office, is not when the electorate's choice is made, by any stretch of the word, de facto or de jure. It is just about how long it takes ballots to get to the offices. In my eyes a similar argument under that twisted definition would be, if a precinct has not reported a result by 11:59PM election day for whatever reason, then that would also effectively postpone the date the choice is made. Should they just not count those votes?

Don't worry, the legs on the right are those of the trolley mechanic fixing the brakes because of the numerous reports of them somehow failing.

If this doesn't lead anywhere, we'll probably have to wait until 2029 when a competent governmental department free of corruption could possibly appear.

A major part of the news story is that 4 of 9 US Supreme Court justicies switch off their brain to support election conspiracies...

Call Donald Trump to organize your next disappointing failure of an event!

This is intended, a colony of brain-eating worms runs the Department of Health and Human Safety after all.

The first thing is you need a way to prove the initial case, and in real-world domains it may be harder to do so axiomatically. Then you need to be able to find a way to generalize it in a discrete (countable) manner.

There is a world in which you don't have to sacrifice restaurant jobs while still having a proper minimum wage and having some level of tip culture. I live there, it's called Canada. Servers, cooks and cleaners can make good money from tips while still being paid at the very least $15Cdn/hr ($10.60 US) by the restauranteur, higher outside the Prairies. Tipped minimum wage exists in Quebec but it is $13.30Cdn/hr ($9.35 US). It doesn't have to be a one or the other situation, you can call it entitlement, but I call replacing wages with tips shifting the blame.

Proof by induction was one of the coolest "how to prove things" lessons I'd learned in math. To prove something works for every natural number (so in effect any thing or formula you can count discretely, and start from somewhere going to infinity), you prove the initial case, then you prove that it works for the (n+1)th case under the assumption it is true under the nth case. Only two steps!

"Democrat"-ic camera taking photos of the two together?

"Democrat"-ic birthday card Trump wrote and signed for Epstein?

"Democrat"-ic condoms depicting Trump saying I'M HUUUUGE?

"Democrat"-ic Mike Johnson saying just yesterday he is running a protection program for keeping Trump connected Republicans with potential dirty laundry away from investigation or prosecution?

Was Lenovo one of the companies who signed 4 year profit gravy train contracts with one of the big 3, return of the RAM cartel? This kind of statement might suggest they did.

 

I get the sense a few more users have joined Lemmy/Piefed from Reddit because of something that happened over there. Welcome to all the Reddit refugees out there.

I'll just put out a quick PSA that in addition to a multitude of mobile applications to use Lemmy and Piefed (see this megathread), there are web applications that change the UI to give you a more familiar experience without needing to install an app. Most exist on a per-site basis so you'll have to see if the instance your account is on installed them (or you can browse as a guest). Check the instance sidebar or ask your local admin.

Here are a few notable examples:

  • Alexandrite a.lemmy.world, alex.lemmy.ca etc. Clean, full image previews when scrolling.
  • mlmym (Old Desktop Reddit style) old.lemmy.world, old.lemmy.ca etc.
  • Photon p.lemmy.world, photon.lemmy.ca, well laid out for mobile use but works well on desktop
  • Blorp blorp.lemmy.world, blorp.lemmy.ca etc. more optimized for mobile
  • Voyager and tessaract and more.

Each are maintained by 3rd party mostly volunteer developers, so be aware, in case of breaking changes to Lemmy that might affect how well these frontends work.

That deadline, although Carney has qualified it as merely a framework toward the goal, kind of passed by with little fanfare. Some links of last month's stories to refresh your memory below:

What do you think is next? Are counter-tariff measures being prepared for Aug 1, more or less Trump's latest TACO milestone?

Since they know the idea of travelling to the US is unpopular among Canadians right now, Porter seems to be trying the "asking for a New York friend" route in their advertising. This is the 2nd one I've seen.

I've been watching/listening, seeing Peter sub in for David is making me do double-takes, and aside from his voice made me question for a minute if they were the same guy, just that he grew hair all of a sudden.
