I don’t see how the law doesn’t require libraries to go 18+ to be free of liability.

The language in this law is extremely broad. If anyone finds anything that they find objectionable in the children’s section, they can sue the librarians.

There’s literally no way to protect yourself against this but to bar all children from the library, unless they have parental supervision. This ensures that the parent remains liable since they have become an obligated chaperone while inside the library.

There’s no way to actually remove all the “offensive” content from the children’s section, because there’s no way to actually know what books that the extremists this law was created to enable will object to next.

That it has the added effect of humiliating the Republicans who passed it by showing what it logically leads to, and angering parents who can no longer drop their kids off at the library, may be helpful in opposing this, but it looks like it’s just the predictable result of short-sighted reactionary lawmaking.

Yeah man, Trumpists and Propagandists, two mutually exclusive groups…

Buddy, if all the politicians are in the same place at the same time, you only need one gun.

No, if you include GPL code you need to provide a copy of the source code upon request. If you made modifications to that source code, you will need to provide them, otherwise just provide the commit hash for the GPL project you’re using.

You don’t need to provide root access just because you used GPL code, you just have to follow the GPL.

lmao

This is no time for posting selfies.

I want to be them

I am not saying that she deserves to be in danger, but if you’re going to donate money to her, please remember that she is a registered Republican and she’s even run for a Senate seat as an ® in Louisiana back in 2009, so make certain that she’s worth your money over other causes you could be giving to right now. Just because she’s against Trump doesn’t mean she’s on our side.

At best she’s a grifter. Being a porn star and a Republican Senate candidate in 2009 is a bold move, and sleeping with Donald Trump is pretty nasty.

Pivoting strait to “For the Love of DILFs” just felt like a cheap cash grab, but also follows the pattern of a grifter using reality TV to make fast cash, and an LGBT-friendly dating show immediately after scoring points on the left for humiliating Trump just screams grift to me…

Don’t group the US and the UK together here. The UK is on track to expel most of their Conservatives in the next surprise election because the Conservative in charge is an impulsive man-baby. The US is on track to hold their very last election as they fall into a tyranny built by Christofacists and Ultracapitalists and lead by the most ridiculous cult of personality you’ve ever seen.

clearly violence was not a serious part of the plan to overthrow the government.

This is the single most delusional string of words I’ve ever read.

You go from claiming that there was no coherent plan, to saying that the plan is “clear” enough that we can rule out violence as a part of it.

4 people fucking died in a coordinated attempt to storm the capitol where an armed mob assaulted and killed police officers, smashed through windows, pissed and shit in hallways and offices, and demanded that politicians be killed.

And you’re saying that violence “clearly” wasn’t part of the plan?

Is this some kind of bit where you pretend to be as stupid as possible, because I don’t get it.

This only applies to Sony products, right?

I use Buffalo drives and Optical Quantum BD-Rs for archiving. It doesn’t sound like that will be affected.

the fact nobody had guns

They did have guns.

there was no clear plan

Donald Trump called the election a fraud months before his loss, told his supporters to show up and force Pence to declare him president despite losing the election. His supporters showed up, erected a noose, demanded Pence be hanged, and came very close to killing him by Pence’s own testimony.

it didn’t even come close to working

Contrary to your beliefs that the thousands of right wing extremists that stormed the capitol were completely unarmed, plenty were heavily armed and came very close to being face to face with Democratic members of Congress. Things could have gone very differently that day if the insurrectionists had managed to go as far as they were willing to. We’re lucky that our representatives were able to get to safety before the mob arrived.

The funniest possible outcome of another Trump presidency is Trump being too insane to even follow the Project 2025 plan, and just erect another 4 year kakocracy that largely embarrasses the Republican part

Our country would be completely and permanently overthrown on the international stage the moment that happens. China and Russia will own the world, and America will be left in ruins. A civil war will make us incredibly weak, and the rest of the world probably isn’t going to fight for us when that happens.

There’s a chance we’ll be literally overthrown too, especially if we leave (or are expelled from) NATO.

This is exactly the kind of shit Republicans say about growing older and becoming more cynical. Same regressive bullshit, different ideology.

There’s literally no reason to believe you are the same person. We we believed that, it would be an excellent way to exploit us.

Even so, this ain’t Reddit. You need to go ahead and learn that right now.

You’re new here, and you’re posting stuff that opposes the only person standing between America and a rapid fall into violent authoritarianism. Welcome to Lemmy and don’t carry water for fascists if you want to have a good time.

This is the same logic Nazis used. The narrative was that Jews forced their hand by refusing to comply with their demands.

Make no mistake, this is a promise of bloodshed. They just want to sound like they want peace and that they’ll have to kill to get it.

Kill them first.

They like people like Lenin and Stalin.

It’s a wakeup call for a lot of young people when they start to recognize the absurdity of anti-communist propaganda, but a lot of kids swing too far the other direction and figure all the bad things they’ve ever heard about history’s worst communist leaders are lies.

It doesn’t mean that Communism is uniquely bad, but these men were violent tyrants who don’t share values with most mainstream western leftists today.

Some never grow up and say dumb shit like that radical gender expression was common in the USSR or something…

I double checked, and with this weak of a comeback, undoubtedly you.
