U.S. presidents cannot be prosecuted for selling pardons or assassinating political rivals through SEAL Team Six

If that’s true, we should do something about it.

Fortunately, the US has free speech protections. It’s not up to some bureaucrats to decide what opinions are illegal.

@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

No, that’s where I draw the line. I don’t believe inciting violence should be covered under free speech.

Gigan ,
@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly! You never know who is going to be in charge next, so be very careful what kind of powers you give to the government.

I disagree that the end goal is always violence. And I think what constitutes “hate speech” is subjective and cannot be fairly enforced.

One Piece is great, but it is a big investment. Worth it IMO. If you’re not sure, watch the Netflix live action. It’s only 8 episodes and is pretty faithful to the original.

He also pronounces the “i” the same in both words. So I guess it’s because of his Finnish accent? Hey OP! We have your answer!

TIL in 1893, the US Supreme Court held 9–0 that the tomato should be classified as a vegetable rather than a fruit in Nix v. Hedden, 149 U.S. 304, for purposes (en.wikipedia.org)

of tariffs, imports and customs. Justice Horace Gray delivered the opinion of the Court in holding that the Tariff Act of 1883 used the ordinary meaning of the words "fruit" and "vegetable", instead of the technical botanical meaning....

Romanian authorities seized 15 luxury cars, 14 designer watches and cash in several currencies. The vehicles included a Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari, a Porsche, a BMW, an Aston Martin and a Mercedes-Benz. Authorities said the assets were worth an estimated 3.6 million euros ($3.9 million).

A trial date hasn’t been confirmed. The case is still being discussed in the preliminary chamber stages

I know people don’t like Andrew Tate, but this seems kind of fucked. They’re just keeping him locked up without a trial and taking his stuff? If this happened to a black man in the US people would be pissed.

Gigan ,
@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

they are 100% confiscated when judged guilty

Yeah, and that’s fine. But he hasn’t had his trial yet so hasn’t been found guilty, was my concern.

Gigan ,
@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

Or it could be for civil forfeiture kind of abuse of authority.

That’s what I was thinking, but I’m not an expert on the Romanian legal system either.

Gigan ,
@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

It seems like there’s a lot of contradictions in this case.

  1. No, a murderer shouldn’t get to keep the murder weapon, because it’s obviously evidence in the trial. I don’t think his luxury assets are evidence in the crime. (Unless he was smuggling girls in the trunk of his car, but it doesn’t sound like that’s why they were confiscated.)
  2. If someone was charged with murder, they shouldn’t be released until after the trial because they could be a danger to other people. Tate was released, hasn’t been found guilty, yet the authorities are taking a bunch of his stuff.

Save your concern for the actual locked up people on shitty minor drug possession charges in the US.

I am concerned about that too, but it’s not the topic of the article.

As appealing as going completely off-grid is in an idealistic kind of way, I still have to function in modern sOcIeTy, which requires me to make some compromises. If you know of any quality phones that aren’t controlled by any big tech companies, let me know.

Micro-houses are cool. The minimal cost and maintenance is really appealing. Having to do it because everything else is unaffordable is not.

I thought Starlink was really cool when I first heard about it. I know people that use it because it’s the best Internet available to them. But I’m not sure if the amount of space waste they are creating is worth it.

Gigan ,

Even if 100% of the stuff burns up, it’s a lot of energy and materials that needs to be constantly replaced. Seems like a lot of maintenance to keep the array operating long-term.

why not both?

Because cyber trucks aren’t killing people. Trucks made by Ford and Chevy are. Why put effort into solving a problem that doesn’t exist yet when there is a real problem right now, and if you solve that one it will also solve the cyber-truck problem.
