I have been, Trump's not really using congress he's EO banging and violating the constitution and courts are slow to react, if they even will stop him. Even in congress you have to convince Republican congresspeople whose constituents LIKE what's happening.

I never said give up. Keep trying. Just other countries shouldn't be expecting this shit to work and the US to magically be rational again in a couple months. We could be under a Republican dictatorship, a military coup, or a civil war in the next couple years for all I know. We're unstable.

The crazy half is in control right now and there's not much we can realistically do. With the amount of Republicans who like the current situation and bootlickers who are indifferent protests or other means aren't likely to affect anything. Maybe if the US slides into another great depression public sentiment can shift enough to make a change but until then no one should be treating us like a rational country.

Same reason congestion pricing is hated everywhere until it's implemented and people start seeing the benefits, people are cheap. Coincidentally also the reason congestion pricing works so well at regulating demand for a road and improving conditions.

Make linux your wife and then everyone will be happy.

You really need to put "Montana" in the title. Banning mRNA vaccines is stupid af but without "Montana" it's assumed to be federal.

Going to be interesting watching the courts this year. Congress ain't doin shit but maybe the judicial branch wants to try and keep some power for themselves and congress instead of being a complete rubber stamp. Also if they rubber stamp some of the clearly unconstitutional stuff we might be looking at possible secession and civil war. Then again if they don't rubber stamp and Trump ignores their rulings we might be looking at civil war too.

It really sucks to live in interesting times.

We started naming every scandal [name]-Gate after it so it's still in the public conscious and only one sitting US president has ever left their term early due to scandal.

Of course the rules are different now. Impeachment and removal (or resignation to avoid it) are almost impossible with the current state of Congress. So we can only say "This might have been as big as the Watergate scandal if we still had any ethics as a country."

Written works are tangible and so have a copyright upon creation, just like the video in your example. That recording posted online "publicly" where anyone can see it free of charge wouldn't change its copyright. Also private internet sites really aren't "public" space in the ways most laws would define it, because it's a server hosted by a private individual. We're in ruud's house right now so-to-speak. He has every right to censor us and show us the door if he so chooses.

By posting or commenting here (or on reddit for that matter) we don't fully waive copyright to IP. If I write a unique poem here and some random person plagiarizes it and sells it I could still sue. But on reddit, if reddit decides to publish a book of "Best of reddit poems" or transfer that license to someone else I'm shit out of luck. On lemmy without the legalese I stand a good chance in court revoking the assumed license of my work and having a positive legal outcome.

You don't lose your copyright just for posting it in a public space, even Reddit. But you do give reddit a perpetual, non-revokable, transferrable license to do basically whatever they want with your IP :

Found here under "your content": https://redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement

With Lemmy all that language of perpetual, non-revokable, transferrable goes away to my knowledge. You still wholely own your own IP if you decide you don't want it on Lemmy anymore.

Yeah, make them fire you ffs. Just do a shitty job and make mistakes that are sure to get rejected. Gum up the works as long as you can.

This stepping down in protest to let them replace you with a lap dog isn't helping anything.
