I think for a lot of people, its a matter of seeing it as most of the beautiful things will be gone within 20 years, and the only thing left to admire will be lichen and cockroaches. In that scenario, what quality of life will your hypothetical child have?

We are all tren de agagua on this blessed day

Israel is the only country in the world that can somehow kill 100:1 people in a conflict and still say they are the little guy getting picked on.

Its as if the US went to war with Bermuda and then tried to claim oppression

May our modern “elite’s” gravesites be so lucky

Tree law in this country is not governed by reason!

A lot of us dont want any of this, but also arent either the autocrat in charge, the billionaires who bought him, nor are we the military that can stop him.

As much as a lot of us would stop this immediately if we could, we also dont need to let Trump have his Tienammen Square moment. The military should have removed him the moment it was clear that he is hell bent on destabilizing our country, our region, and the world at large.

This particular situation is pretty dark though. It seems like it could be a purge of anyone who wouldn’t blindly follow even completely illegal orders. Like using the military against the citizenry, or otherwise for domestic purposes

In the theoretical sense, digital sound files have over double the potential dynamic range of the best cassette tape or vinyl. CDs are better, but still well below what can be done with digital files.

The issue is that most digital formats are so compressed that they end up with 1/10th the dynamic range of a cassette tape.

So its more like analog is “better” only because we need to improve storage and up/down speeds before we can truly enjoy how much better digital can be compared to analog. Its just not practical yet

On Reddit at least, it seems like the answer to that depends on the political conveniences of the situation at hand

I think it would be quite reasonable for any lawyer who files something that includes references to case law that doesn’t exist to simply be disbarred.

The courts are backed up enough without having to deal with this bullshit. And it shows clear lack of concern for properly representing their client

A group of Yale University classmates of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged him in a letter to reconsider his role “in facilitating the Trump administration’s intended transformation” of the U.S. “into an authoritarian state.”

As of Friday, 140 members of the Yale Class of 1984 signed the online letter to Bessent, a member of that class.

It argues that “so many” of the actions of President Donald Trump and his second administration are unconstitutional and undermine the principles of democracy.

The signatories include lawyers, CEOs, journalists, playwrights, a pastor, college professors, a farmer, and social workers.

The letter to Bessent says that he, as a Political Science major at Yale, knows “that the three branches of the U.S. government are meant to act as equal partners, providing checks and balances on each other to prevent the kind of power grab the executive branch is currently perpetrating.”

The missive then ticks off a list of examples of what it says are the Trump administration’s efforts “to usurp the power vested in the judicial and legislative branches … for their own personal aggrandizement, wealth, and power.”
