As all this stuff comes out and gets verified, I keep naively thinking that we will see these people face consequences soon. Eventually someone will have to take action and remove him from his position, but as time passes, nothing happens. The news cycle moves on, and the general population forgets.
It's shit like this that further drives me into nihilism.
Been using lemmy for a few days and I am already feeling the need to do just that.
It doesn't help that tons of the content on there (the last time I looked) is sexually charged. Also, if a subreddit consistently makes it to All, then no one should be surprised that all of the users interact with the content.
As a Floridian, please don't come. We make most of our money off of tourism, hospitality, and healthcare services. Go somewhere else, let this state die.
It's probably a case of her thinking she can not defend herself out of fear of backlash. Teachers have been charged with assault when defending themselves from students.
I just got here 2 days ago because of Sync. More will come.
there are other just like me.
I am right here, and there are many more. I quit reddit about a week before the blackout. I used to be a power user, I'm talking more than 3 hours a day easily. I made a few post, but most of my engagement was from comments. I quit cold turkey, actively avoiding reddit result from google searches.
Fast forward to today, and I still don't use it out of spite. I still avoid it if I can but if there are search results from Google that have answers to my specific problem on reddit, I will read the comments with ad-block on and move on to another website if the reddit link did not provide a solution.
I never understood why we can elect local judges but not our Supreme Court. I understand why people say it's to keep it from being a political position that people run for like the president, but there has to be some harsher regulations on the Supreme Court judges becuase they keep doing shit like this. All the weird shit is to keep them "unbiased" but it's clearly that's just lie we tell the people to keep them placated.
If anyone believes the Supreme Court judges are unaffiliated with political parties, they are willingly ignorant.
