Does this imply that if I am standing on an object moving at a constant speed in a straight line, and I am lifting and dropping a sufficiently massive object such that I’m causing the object in standing on to accelerate towards the object I’m dropping, that eventually I’ll slow or stop the object I’m standing on?
- Comment on How does US "early voting" works logistically speaking ? 3 weeks ago:
In general that would be pretty easy to identify. If the number of votes were large enough to impact an election you’d see voting numbers that are far greater than you expect based on the population and demographics of the area served by a particular voting office. In addition you’d see counts greater than you expect when certain people are working but not for others.
In addition usually you have to check in at a desk or table to get your ballot. An official dishonestly stuffing the ballot box would also have to somehow fabricate real voters checking in at the desk, or else there’d be more ballots than people who checked in and they’d identify the fraud. Where I live you check in with your ID card so unless the official had a bunch of IDs of valid registered voters they’d be caught.
Lastly voting fraud is a crime pretty much everywhere, so getting caught is bad.
A more realistic version of voting fraud is what is being planned in the US: getting supporters of a candidate (in this case Trump) to volunteer at voting locations and having those people fabricate evidence of fraud. This can just be their testimony, but it can be used later in lawsuits to give face value validity to accusations that the election was stolen, and used as justification for violence or a coup. This is what Trump tried, poorly, in 2020. They will try better in 2024.

The science of space flight is largely figured out? That will be news to the scientists on spacex’s staff. I don’t think you know what you’re talking about
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 4 weeks ago:
Moving things into orbit requires a substantial amount of science.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 4 weeks ago:
Good thing in what way
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 4 weeks ago:
Because they are impressive in the way NASA was. Which is the problem - we should be doing this as a nation and not subsidizing whatever a billionaire fancies at the moment.
- Comment on Does alcohol expire? Specifically whiskey? 5 weeks ago:
With the caveat that many food borne illnesses are not killed when frozen. If something was contaminated when frozen it can remain contaminated when thawed (to your point though I don’t think many things that are fine when frozen can become unsafe while frozen)

No, no, see it was the right of private gun ownership in Afghanistan. Just the guns nothing else necessary. And, by the way, “we could be like Afghanistan “ is actually a very good argument and not at all an admission.

Same
- Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit? 2 months ago:
When people say Lemmy is better, they mean the software and the platform are better. You’re talking about the users of the two platforms. Lemmy users are still idiots, just like Reddit users, we just use Linux and don’t use chrome

Yeah the argument here should not be “why are they allowed to sue each other at all,” it should be “why did my elected representatives waste our money over this stupid shit?”
Find the resolution at the ballot box if that is viable in your country

No you don’t lol. I love when you right fucks try to pretend you care about women or women’s sports all of a sudden. Literally no one buys it. “Aw golly gee I just care about fairness in women’s sports” nah bro you hate trans and nonbinary people. Own it! Be the bigot you really are, loud and proud!

So wait do you care about biology or the insular rules of various international sporting bodies? It’s hard to keep up with whatever you’re pretending to care about
- Comment on Paris Olympics: Italy's Angela Carini abandons fight with Algeria's Imane Khelif, who failed gender test, after 46 seconds 3 months ago:
She’s not a man. Either you think everyone with XY chromosomes is a man, even if they have female genitals, or you acknowledge that neither genitals nor chromosomes alone are sufficient to define gender and you acknowledge that trans people exist as their identified gender. You don’t get it both ways.
Sorry I forgot for a second where I was and just wasted all that energy typing out something you won’t read because your side doesn’t care about the truth.

This is what you call silly? You guys are such fucking weirdos. Fascism and theocracy isn’t silly. It’s creepy and weird. Not good weird like Austin in 2004. Bad weird like Epstein or the pope.

No actually there are medical facts about when a fetus becomes a life form that can live on its own or with assistance. You just don’t care about them.
- Comment on Paris Olympics: Italy's Angela Carini abandons fight with Algeria's Imane Khelif, who failed gender test, after 46 seconds 3 months ago:
Yeah just me and all major scientific and medical establishments over here “disagreeing” with you about medical fact but ok you do you bby

No I’m just not going to play your game. This is why people think you guys are so weird. You make up these silly little games, then declare yourselves the victors when no one wants to play them.

Biden cooperated with record requests. Why didn’t Trump? The only reason Biden was investigated was so that your side could use it as a talking point about how they are both the same when they are not.
It is very common for some records to need to be returned during and after a presidency. It is NOT AT ALL common for presidents to refuse those requests. THAT is the difference.

I’m not here to debate you about your weird plans. I’m here to mock them for being bad. No one has to dance when you start playing music. If you don’t know what’s in your own party’s playbook, go google it instead of asking strangers about what they are.

You literally just got done eviscerating abortion rights and are in the process of going after IVF and birth control. You get to shut the fuck up about women basically forever. The right has absolutely zero moral credibility here. None. Zilch. Don’t pretend to suddenly care about women in Afghanistan, you ghoul.
