Sorry I assume everyone else has it.

Universal healthcare in the United States.

My brother in christ, I’m not talking about the pretext the government used to attack Iraq. I’m talking about the fact that the two things had nothing to do with each other.

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. The fact that the government used that as a pretext doesn’t magically link the two things.

I’m not skilled enough to be able to speak to that.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but all I need is a fuse plugin. I don’t need specific syncing like a OneDrive/Google Drive app.

we were attacking a country for the president’s personal vendetta

This had nothing to do with 9/11. Invading Iraq was much later. You’re conflating the two.

“Bush did 9/11” is crazy talk. “Bush invaded Iraq because he wanted to get back at Saddam Hussein and make money for Halliburton” is not.

“Donald Trump makes me, a white christian, feel like I’m important.”

It’s unclear that they need to handle a specific flavor when they could release a Flatpak. I think the community wouldn’t have any problem tweaking the dependencies for particular distros.

No. Cops have convinced a majority of people that they need to be able to break the law in order to protect them.

This lazy doctor earns more than double my salary. It’s depressing.

Wait until you find out how lazy people with inherited wealth are…and they make way more than double your salary in passive gains.

“Free speech absolutist” means “you are required to hear everything I have to say and you can’t criticize me for it.”

Also white supremacy is a hell of a drug.

Super Baseball 2020 on the SNES was and still is a great game.

People fail to realize that we’re in the mirror universe and the universe Star Trek exists in is the unattainable utopia.

The prosecution generally does not call recalcitrant witnesses because they make bad ones.

How would you tell a witness who was hiding something from a witness who didn’t see anything?

Corroborating evidence. If multiple people say “yeah Jimmy saw the entire thing”, that’s how you know. The lawyers can’t just say “we think @savvywolf@pawb.social was there so they have to testify.” Mostly because you’d make a terrible witness for the prosecution (or the defense).

Do you feel that the 4th amendment should protect them?

No.

Or perhaps a new amendment should be written to protect them and abolish power of subpoena?

No. In fact I think people who refuse to testify should be held in contempt until they do. If they lie, perjury should be strictly prosecuted.

[T]o force an individual to speak or disclose part of their mind is a wild overreach of power and an affront to the personal liberty of the innocent.

I strongly disagree with the concept that “I was a witness to a rape, but I shouldn’t have to tell a court what I saw because my right to shut up is more important than the right of the state and victim to get justice or for the right of the defense to have a fair trial.”

I’ve found that the answer depends on what region of the US you’re from. The UK probably does it differently, but I’m with @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world. If it’s dark out, you’re definitely greeting with “good evening.”

No one says 10 pm or midnight is the evening.

See this is interesting because I use the words “evening” and “night” interchangeably. I’m from (broadly) northern Ohio.

If I’m greeting someone, “good morning” is from the time I wake up until noon, “good afternoon” from noon until the sun goes down or it’s 7pm or so, and “good evening” at any other time. It could be 3am, and if I’m meeting someone, I’d say “good evening.”

“Good night” is when you’re leaving. “Have a good night.” But night time is when it’s dark and evening is generally the same time.

There’s a guy who works as a product owner at my employer. He has a PharmD. He got fed up with the metrics for how many prescriptions he had to fill. Now he does software.

It’s crazy to think that someone has a terminal degree in a really technical field and he nope’d out because of how bad it got.

Elvis Costello - just about anything off of Goodbye Cruel World. Even he admits that it’s a terrible album.
