Okay, so you’re saying would do evil for a big enough pile of money? If you had enough to get along in relative comfort would you still?

Lots of people who see no other options commit crimes to get money and ‘stuff’, but if we all had a guaranteed income, I wonder which people would be enticed to do evil just to get still more money. The evil wouldn’t be ‘torturing those you love’, but more like letting some company dump lead in the water supply. Personally, I couldn’t allow that for any monetary price.

That’s not the line. In KJV it goes:

For the love of money is the root of all evil

It’s not the money itself, it’s the love of money.

Engineering. Engineers are famously conservative. There’s a paper that broke down how non-white and non-male engineers were less conservative, and which types of engineers tended to skew which way, but a reader must remember that most engineers are white men.

Agreed!

I believe nazi salutes are one of the many things your standard AIs are restricted from rendering (no pedo stuff, obviously, and a smattering of other things are forbidden).

Not sure this works here, but maybe? @aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com draw for me Karens in Nazi outfits enforcing cancel culture.

But she also headed the EPA (declaring the 9/11 air ‘safe’) and endorsed Kamala in the last election, so the big cheeto has to hate her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Todd_Whitman#Post_9/11_air_quality_claims_controversy

If we are talking about voting in U.S. federal elections, voters only have two choices. Third party candidates can not win with the current structure. If all states switched to ranked choice voting, and if states divided House seats by percentage of voters per party instead of winner-take-all for each gerrymandered region of a map, THEN there could be more than two options. I would like to see that happen.

Past tense about passed intents?

It isn’t part of the government, but was designated an official federal depository library . There are over 1000 such libraries, but archive.org is the most ‘digital’.

Okay, so explain this: why can I archive various random pages on congress.gov, but when I try to look at archives for the 14th amendment, I get complaints that I can’t access it from ‘this site’ (archive.org)? I can view the live page, but I can’t archive it and then see the result. I’m also having issue archiving the current Article 1 page (as mentioned further under this post).

Edit: To me, the 14th amendment issue hints that: a) that page in particular requires cookies and b) it intentionally won’t load for/from archive.org – but this is not consistent for other pages so it seems extra fishy.

Help! I tried to archive https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-1/ – but it won’t show up in archive.org. It tells me I can go to:

• https://web.archive.org/web/20250806054229/https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-1/ but when I look at the URL, it seems to be redirecting to July 21st (https://web.archive.org/web/20250721170235/https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-1/), which does not look like the live page. When I try to dif, I see the July page, too.

Did the government break wayback, too?

He defended Epstein and Trump. I will allow a small business the right to refuse him service.

Ask, “What about the Epstein Files?” as the first volley.

Compared to who? Pelosi? Trump?

Oliver is not qualified.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets three qualifications for holding the presidency. To serve as president, one must:

• be a natural-born citizen of the United States;
• be at least 35 years old;
• be a resident in the United States for at least 14 years.

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?” – George Orwell (book link)

That doesn’t work for me because part of the issue is the number of servings I get at the end and the size of the cooking container. Example: random veggie casserole calls for 1 pound frozen broccoli, 1 pound frozen caulflower, 1 medium onion, 3 stalks celery, and a bunch of other stuff (rice, cheese, spices, breadcrumbs, etc.).

Frozen veg is now mostly bagged at 3/4 of a pound instead of a full pound (same with certain pasta). While I can theoretically use 1.5 bags or reduce other measures by 25%, I don’t want a bunch of half-bags in the freezer – and if I make a casserole that’s 75% the size… well, I don’t have a 75% sized casserole dish so it still has to bake in the dish I’ve used to decades, but now as a sad thin version of what it ought to be – and it typically dries out while cooking (if I don’t try to fix it).

I don’t know if we’re all in different places, but I agree with @ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com. In particular, every bag of onions and potatoes I’ve bought in the last couple years have had at least one bad veg so damaged that I couldn’t use it – like rotting on the inside kinds of bad. Lettuce seems smaller and more dirty, and everything generally seems older by the time it gets to the store. The only way I can get fruit with any flavor is by going to local farm standsand paying top dollar.

Sure, you’re getting worked up about her misrepresenting the number of illegals, but I’m over here all incensed that she’s saying a person is just ONE meal for an alligator? As if gators wouldn’t join in and make a party of it? How dare she! An adult alligator will eat 20 pounds of food a week during warm weather but can go for weeks without eating during the winter. That means a generic 100 pound human should feed at least 3-4 gators (or up to 5 if we don’t count bones as food). Suggesting a person is only one alligator meal is like suggesting a person isn’t unemployed once they’re run out of unemployment benefits – and who’d be stupid enough to suggest that?
