I think what most people are trying to get at here was that Lincoln himself was not particularly a pro abolishinist. He was a lawyer who just wanted the Union to stay together and follow the current laws.

He was up against difficulty when he wanted new states to not allow slavery. This made the southern states mad, etc, etc, war. Even still at first, he did not free slaves. It wasn’t until the war was underway and not going as well as hoped that freeing slaves became a thing. This was after a southern slave commandeered a southern ship and escaped to the north with it. A general then had to decide if they were required to “return property” or free the slave. He freed the slave, stating he had no obligation to “return property” to a force that was an enemy. This was a big decision at the time. I think that event set the ball rolling on freeing slaves.

So people are being pedantic. Yes it was about slavery. No, it was not (at first) about freeing slaves. That came later.

I literally tried One Piece Kai so that I could get to the good part faster and I still didn’t make it. One Piece fans tell me I was almost to the good part. Okay if your good part is 100+ normal episodes in, I’m gonna have to pass on your show.

Can they really weigh in on how a state runs its elections?

How would he win the electoral college without being on the ballot? I guess more than half could write his name in.

If, say, half the states don’t have him on the ballot though, that’s a pretty unlikely thing to happen to win the necessary votes for the whole country.

Coolest course I’ve ever been to is just through a forest in the mountains of southern Oregon. No chain link baskets, just coffee cans on a stick to shoot at. But man what an amazing place to spend the afternoon. A small river (not deep enough to lose your disc), up and then down a smallish hillside, huge trees trees fairly widely spaced. Maybe that kind of course is common in certain areas but all the ones by me are at manicured parks. Fun but not the same.

If we need signs saying student driver, the driver is not ready

Eh, a couple years ago one of my brothers gifted another brother a dildo from “Santa”. I have 5 brothers, so no one knew for sure who did it. Much hilarity ensued.

I think once when this was posted they said doctors would see other patients and even perform autopsies then do surgeries with no hand washing between.

This isn’t really a great argument. Subsidies are there to promote the things we want to come to fruition. Want your people to have solar? Subsidies for putting one on your roof. You want more electric cars on the road even though more expensive? Subsidies.

You want a billionaire to help a new technology reach people he wouldn’t bother with? Subsidies.

Eh, it was predicted we would die because the population growth was exceeding our ability to farm food, but then out of necessity the industrial revolution happened.

I think we are predicting we will die but out of necessity we will make the necessary changes to save ourselves just in time. Not just stopping emissions (this will only help slow the worsening, since we might be past the point of no return by the time we do this), but also carbon capture to remove the CO2, while simultaneously seeding extra clouds with something like the salt water canons running on cargo ships, and other such tech to reflect the sun while we get to work on CO2 capture.

The CO2 will have to be sequestered back in the ground, so a method will have to be made to liquify and pump it back in, but it’s theoretically possible.

I think the main market was supposed to be like a utility vehicle. It’s got some nice specs for actual work purposes for an electric vehicle, while saving money by not making a pretty body.

I don’t know why some people like the look and want it for recreational use.

We talking regular gummy bears or sugar free haribo?

Lemmy as a whole appears to irrationally hate Tesla because of their stupid CEO. I think his penchant for calling what is essentially “advanced autopilot” FULL SELF DRIVING should be illegal. But he’s a car salesman and for some reason the government is letting him call it that. Be mad at our lawmakers for that. He’s just a sheister and our lawmakers suck at reining him in. Tesla cars themselves are actually really good. Very safe cars that don’t roll over because of the heavy battery located so low, very responsive acceleration, and some nice quality of life low hanging fruit in the technology department, like my phone being a key. I was told by my Tesla rep when I bought the car to not buy FSD. It’s experimental and will not ever probably be driving you to your destination safely. The fact that they sell it with a name that implies it will is the problem. And people believe it. That’s incredibly dangerous.

Woah that sounds really great actually, considering Tesla probably has 10x the autopilot miles driven compared to other manufacturers.

You should make a main post with this. I think lots of people would appreciate knowing about this method.

Don’t forget the spiders

Florida has a really great Homestead though, capping your property tax increases to 3% per year. For the insurance, you can probably get Citizens, which isn’t great but it’s something.

The mRNA shots are very sensitive. I’m not allowed to shake them prior to administration, only swirl gently. I feel like this tech will damage them no?

Didn’t work for me at all with sync and firefox

Ah I wasn’t clear. I don’t mean government as in Democrats or Republicans. I mean government associations like US Army Corps of Engineers or the US Postal Service.

Maybe we should start a US Army Climate Battalion or something to sound cool and get funding 🤔.
