I would say those numbers mean every election where voters are not able to vote by mail is an election with repressed voter turnout. Because now we know what turnout can be if vote by mail is an option.

Lemmy sits a bit apart from the rest in that it doesn’t quite work for direct person-to-person interaction. Following Lemmy discussions on Mastodon is possible but clunky and Lemmy doesn’t quite know how to quiet all the @ mentions and things in comments made from Mastodon so they look really loud/busy. I can see Lemmy communities from Firefish but I don’t see any of the posts/comments (maybe I have to follow one first?). I’ve never tried following Lemmy from Pixelfed.

But each of those platforms has a different UI. The experience and features posting media on Pixelfed is much different. But I still have to setup a separate Pixelfed instance account if I want to make use of them. And my data will thus be spread across those instances. And people will need to follow both the Mastodon and Pixelfed accounts if they want to see both sets of posts. I’d love to just hat the one identity to manage with my content from all platforms associated with it.

My one wish for Fediverse would be federated identities. So I don’t have to have baronvonj@<platform> for ever single one of them.

Doesn’t look like it to me. I tried to sign up yesterday and haven’t received the validation email.

Edit: and the UI was very barren and minimal on the video I watched.

I keep forgetting that this windbag is still alive.

Do state-level felonies follow to other states?

So … his sentence is literally nothing?

Before reading the article I’m guessing they are over-represented in a combination of medical debt and lower credit scores.

What do you mean “now?” I’ve been seeing people say that for years.

A father who gets lots of sex

I bet you have a jib.

I believe I had read that after losing in Missouri she decided to try in Texas.

Yes but how will some other company who doesn’t run a successful ad network make aenough money from owning Chrome browser to keep it going?

There already exist leftist parties. They languish in obscurity thanks to our election process. We didn’t get a new right-wing party, we witnesses a determined enough voter base take it over through primaries starting with the Tea Party and culminating with MAGA. We need more leftist candidates and voters showing up in the Democratic primaries to wrest the party away from the old guard.

Greenwich, now you go and bring ole Henry VIII into this… Surely that’ll help

Well if we’re all going to be in one time zone, then one has to be designated as the True Earth Time, and the world’s governments.have already decided which one it is.

Haha. Hope your having a good day

Likewise. 🍻

As time is relative to us, why not make it static.

Because we already have, when the time zones were created. All time zones are just offsets to UTC/GMT. And as you’ve observed, society at large wants to use a localized offset because it just feels natural to do so.

Take the guns first, go through due process second.

No, my argument is that time zones are a formalization of what we observe in physical reality: that different parts of the planet are experience a different phase of the Earth’s rotation through direct sunlight in at any given moment. They can’t ever be perfect, so we all have to agree to a best approximation, and some communities decide for themselves that they don’t want to have a a dividing line through the middle of their city, and that’s fine because the whole system is meant for co-ordinating over long distances.

Post summary says he’s calling for a pardon on the campaign finance fraud case (the porn star hush money). So assuming that’s an accurate summary he’s not calling for a pardon on treason. Also it’s a state crime so it’s not one the president can pardon anyway.

Time zones weren’t established to adjust for north/south variances, they’re for east/west. And we don’t adjust the clocks to make sunrise and sunset fall on consistent time of day throughout the year. They’re so that we can reliably account for what the local time is somewhere other than where we are (in the USA they were created for cross-continental railroads to publish train schedules). We already have GMT/UTC and every other time zone is defined relative to that, so why don’t you just personally use that in all your own devices and communications already? Nothing but you can prevent you from doing so.
