- Comment on 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good? 1 day ago:
It’s not crazy. You should get one every so often just in case. Better to find a small problem now than a big problem later.
I’m more shocked that you could buy the house without an inspection. My bank required one to give me a loan.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 2 weeks ago:
If you want to be hyper-technical about it, he could order a hit on Trump, but if Trump was already on the ballot and received 270+ EVs, he would be ineligible to be President. His Vice President would take over as President.
If both were assassinated, the Speaker of the House of the newly-seated Congress would become President.
I don’t think you meant that specifically, but yes if ordering a hit is an “official act”, he could conceivably order the murder of anyone who cares to stand against him.

How many divisions has the Supreme Court?
They can order him released but unless they’re going to send a bailiff to try to break him out of federal prison, they’re just words on a sheet of paper.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve known people who are the best workers on their team, but put in like 40% effort. Does that count as quiet quitting? IDK.
To be clear, I’m not excusing the article, which is a bad joke. That being said, there are plenty of people out there that are really good at their jobs, but don’t put in full effort. I don’t have a problem with these people at all (really who does 100% effort all of the time?).
- Comment on Help. 3 weeks ago:
It works on 2 different levels for me.
- He needs psychiatric help but decides to drink instead.
- He needs help at the store but this particular employee is not helpful.

It seems like alternatively you could cross the border to some other country and not have to do this anymore. Slovakia gets all the breaks.
- Comment on if the bird flu started spreading between humans, how long would you need to stay quarantined before it was safe to come out?? 1 month ago:
As long as the public health officials in your area tell you to.
- Comment on what is my purpose rule 1 month ago:
This happens at my employer from time to time where the default action is for something to be off. So the option is “Turn off X” with a checkbox next to it.
This is negative logic and is stupid. Turning on an option should enable something. Turning it off should disable it. If the default is that it is off, then give it a positive description “Turn on X” and then default the value to off.
I get really angry about this if you couldn’t tell.

If someone texted me, the reply was “these cost me $0.25, so i’ll talk to you on AIM when I get home”
- Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 1 month ago:
Yes if someone invented it today, it’d be banned. Just like libraries.

- Comment on Are MRNA vaccines any riskier than other vaccines? 4 months ago:
Unless the friend has training as a microbiologist or something similar their belief is inconsequential. And even then they would be in the vast minority in their field (like a geologist that believes oil doesn’t come from the heat andcompressions of ancient organic matter.
A lot of people are afraid of new things they don’t understand. The hope is that people realize that the fear is irrational and listen to experts in the relevant field.
- Comment on As if the tip actually goes to the dashers. 4 months ago:
Some people have a lot of disposable income and don’t care that their $7 meal at Taco Bell costs $17 to get it delivered, too. I think it’s a bit crazy but it’s their money.

- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 4 months ago:
I find that there’s more actual discussion here. On Mastodon most replies are people just agreeing with the OP. That also means people butt heads more. I have found people to be nice here.
I never used Reddit, so I can’t say how different it is compared to Reddit.
