Sins like accusing a nation’s citizenry of being complicit with its war crimes, which is, itself, a war crime?

Are you willing to take ownership of every bad thing your government’s ever done?

Shintoism has no fewer than four gods of male-male love, so no. Buddhist monks in Japan were also openly gay, like, all the time, so that’s not it, either. Confucianism bans gay marriage; I have no idea how relevant that is, here.

The Meiji era banned sodomy in 1872 in an effort to westernize. That would be my guess.

Historically, when a political party’s nominating convention occurs after a state deadline for certifying nominees, states have either enacted laws to push back the deadline – as Ohio did in 2012 and 2020 – or accepted a provisional certification from the party.

This Allen guy is brand new and does not appear to understand the law he’s sworn to uphold.

I don’t think you know what “alleged” means.

8 ounces to a cup, 2 cups to a pint, 2 pints to a quart, 4 quarts to a gallon.

This thread is a garbage fire - a bunch of people who didn’t look anything up (or if they did, they cite no sources, so there’s no evidence they did) spouting a bunch of mutually contradictory shit, all of it upvoted. I will never understand why anyone engages with Lemmy this way.

Here is the list of US charges against Assange, from the actual paperwork charging him.

As you can see here, each of the first 17 charges has a maximum penalty of 10 years (not including fines).

Charge 18 is messier. Under USC 371 the max is 5 years. I believe USC 1030 is also capped at 5 years.

So roughly a 175 year sentence, at cap.

Or anyone else everyone is basically already at war with. E.g. if Ukraine were to destroy the Russian embassy in North Korea, nothing would escalate past where it already is.

Not to cast dispersions

Aspersions, not dispersions.

on the everything starts with the jews in Israel narrative

It is anti-Semitic to conflate Israel with “The Jews”.

didn’t most of the political movement to force the sale of US TikTok to a US owner and the current law to do so long predate Oct 7

No. The bill didn’t even exist until March 5th, 2024.

Like I hate to break it to you but congress, especially this congress and the maze of think tanks that draft their laws, just arn’t that fast and efficient at implementing new policy.

Look up the details on Juneteenth becoming a Federal holiday. Congress moves with lightning speed when it pulls its heads out of its asses.

Why are you being downvoted? “Never” is the correct answer.

What makws you think they can’t? Reducing tariffs on imported toothbrushes is an excellent way to reduce the sale cost of domestic toothbrushes.

From what I can tell, Shreddie Biologist primarily uses the “World News” sublem on lemmy.ml to shitpost the most biased, least fact-based articles they can find. I think I’m gonna block them, see how it improves the sub.

Let’s break this down.

1. Not all misogynists are guys.
2. “Misogyny” is like “homophobia” - the literal definition applies, so it includes people who actively hate women, but it’s much broader in scope than that. 2A. All three of your examples are examples of misogyny.

Ever thought about posting actual news articles to news subs? It’s deeply disingenuous to shitpost in the sub and then respond to your critics that they need to post more. No posts is better than more shitposts.

They’re not banning people from providing money for bail, they’re banning people from collecting money to pay bail without their local sheriff’s permission. That’s broadly legal for the same reason it’s legal to have a law against fraud, it’s just shitty behaviour.

If you think “where’s” and “gas” are morally equivalent words in that sentence, good news, your local neonazis are most likely recruiting and very excited to hear more about your opinions.

“Woke” means anything anyone wants it to mean at the time, so any claim you make about wokeism is devoid of importance, just any claim I make about it is. You could claim wokeism is responsible for colony collapse disorder in bees and I wouldn’t be able to argue with you, it’s an effectively meaningless word.
