You can misspell could, wanted, and school. Hell, you can wish to blow the school up. But I'll be damned if I'm going to let you disrespect the great state of Kentucky!
I haven't downvoted you, but I think people that have did so less because your opinion is unpopular, and more just that you come across as such an asshole.
To quote Socko:
"Read a book or something, I don't know. Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you. It's incredibly exhausting."
you're the flashlight guy, ofc you wear crocs
It says anyone who had previously taken an oath to support the constitution, which is pretty much any federal government employee, including civilian workers, members of the military, members of Congress, members of the Executive Branch (including the president), members of the Judicial Branch, etc.
See the 14th Amendment to the constitution, added after the civil war. It prevents citizens who previously swore an oath to support the constitution (so any federal employee, person in the military, or federally elected politician including President), and who engaged in insurrection against the United States from being eligible to hold public office.
Edit: We really shotgunned you there, didn't we 🦆
Edit 2: Added info about oath
They're talking about the top 1% of Germany VS the top 1% of the world. If you reframe your thinking to be about the world instead of just your country, you might find your position as one of the 99% percent changing. I don't make much in the USA, I certainly wouldn't call myself rich, but just being employed, above minimum wage, and single means I'm probably above that threshold.
This is a thorny problem. I think that most instances of for-profit companies intruding into this space would be detrimental to the "culture", for lack of a better word, of the fediverse in the long-term, if not it's independence and general well-being.
I can foresee the possibility of some being positive, but I definitely do not think that a huge, multinational, multi-billion-dollar-per-year-earning megacorporation like Meta, Microsoft, Apple, or Musk Industries, would be.
The way I see it, we have four options.
- Do nothing. Users will bring up discussions in the Agora that will trigger votes to defederate commercial entities organically.
- Open discussion threads on the Agora automatically whenever a commercial entity arises.
- Automatically defederate all commercial entities upon creation. Possibly with an automatic discussion thread as to whether we should reverse this on a case-by-case basis.
- Establish rules for what kind of commercial intervention would be allowed. IE, "Only companies which make less than $x per year" or something. Defederate the rest automatically.
There are probably other options, that's just what I came up with over the last few hours. Personally I don't really like the fourth one, it seems wishy-washy. I'd have to be convinced by a well-worded rule to vote for that. I'm partial to option 2, but wouldn't be opposed to 1 or 3.
Yeah, ok, fuck that. Tear the fucker down
My guess is it's a case of a so-called "passing" trans person hating a "non-passing" one. Possibly because it reminds them of the time before their transition, or they view "non-passing" people as not really trans, or they're selfish and don't want to have to change the way they think of their parent? I'm not trans, so this is just speculation.
