Unless I have the law wrong, he skirted the law. He didn't pay anyone to vote (although he originally said he was), he technically only paid them to sign a petition. The law afaik only says you can't pay people to vote (regardless of who, in Wisconsin you straight up cannot pay people to vote at all), you can pay them to sign a petition.

However I would argue that by first announcing that the money would go only to people who voted and then subtly changing it later is still totally a form of bribery. People absolutely voted for a chance at that money because of his original statement and didn't know it changed. But I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he'll be 100% fine because of technicalities (aka he's rich as shit and is completely untouchable)

My bet is the matrix. Everything bad is the matrix. What the hell is the matrix? Nobody knows, doesn't matter, but it's responsible for all bad things that happen to him.

I enjoy believing this person simply thought time was finite and just stopped at some random point until they saw an old person walking around and they were like "what if... what if forever exist???"

So what are we looking at for your wardrobe? Pictures only? Plain colors? Maybe like tie dye?

I do. I can't stand it because where I live it means I will no longer see the sun. Not to even mention how much it sucks ass from a mental standpoint to get out of work and have it be dark. I could not care less if I see a tiny bit of sunlight on my way to work lol. I've had multiple jobs where once ST hits, I'm going to work and coming home in darkness. I literally dont see the sun until the weekend. Imo give me whichever option that maximizes sunlight during most people's free time.

Me too. I think a lot of ppl do as it literally gives (most) people more daylight to actually do stuff since most people work until like 3-6pm. Another side effect during ST is it crowds things that require daylight on the weekends. The days (in the northern hemisphere) are already shorter, add ST on top of it and now all the things that require daylight that people want to do after work have to wait until the weekend because they just don't have enough time. Then the weekend comes and everyone is there because they all had to wait. Once DST comes there's always noticeably smaller crowds cause now at least some people are able to go during the week.

Oh shit this is a good idea. let me just tell my boss to change the hours of the business real quick so I can go hiking after work. Thanks!

He changed it. He said that at first and then changed it to only people that signed some petition against judges that told trump he couldn't do something. My guess is a lawyer looked at it and told him it was blatantly illegal.

I actually looked for this and the only thing I could find is some of them were saying that it would cause people to seek out less reputable and riskier banks because by not being able to charge people out the ass for overdraft fees the good banks would be forced to limit or eliminate overdraft protection.

Others just said the law shouldn't have been passed in the first place because it was passed using some rule that allowed it to pass with a simple majority and you couldn't filibuster.

I'll let you decide what to make of that but it seems... less than sound reasoning.

That reminds me of a tweet I just saw from the White House celebrating the fact that he's signed more executive orders than any president in history at this point by far. Which is... fine I guess but just seems like a really really strange thing to be super proud of to me.

Tweet in question

It's my money! And I want it now!

Next to the president, he literally may be the most untouchable person in the country and is very very high on that same list globally. Even if he somehow does get in trouble for literally anything, he would be pardoned faster than you can say covfefe

 

Why don't Lemmy posts (from any instance) show up on search engines? Like if I try my hardest to get a thread to show up, virtually nothing from the actual instances in the fediverse comes up. I'm sure if I searched the exact url or something I could get it but it's very noticable that the search engines by and large just kind of gloss over posts on here and I'm not sure why.

This stinks cause that was one of the biggest draws for reddit. So many times when you search some super obscure or specific question you'd get a few reddit threads with all sorts of information.
