In terms of what he got done, he’s easily the most left wing President since LBJ. Perhaps FDR. Whether or not that is defined as left-wing/leftist/liberal is a matter of opinion.

Linux copyrights are owned by many different people, so it would be prohibitively difficult to ask every person to agree to a GPLv3 change. Even if you could, Linus Torvalds is not a fan of the v3 license.

That guy!

They’ve already said that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn’t exist.

Legally he’s only got 2 terms. However as my government teacher explained, the constitution says what the Supreme Court says it says. So who knows what they’ll say about it.

You can do “2009” as “twenty oh 9”, but that feels kinda awkward. “Two thousand nine” has the same number of syllables (4). “Twenty ten” is 3. “Two thousand ten” is 4.

Even “1900” is “nineteen hundred” (4) vs “one thousand nine hundred” (6).

ETA: I’m the class of “Oh two” rather than “zero two” because the former is one less syllable.

Plenty of people still use landlines. That tech is much older than faxes. Internal combustion engines have been around for about as long. There have been improvements, of course, but the basic idea of spark plugs igniting fuel, which pushes down a piston is quite old.

Like many things the 1960s tech is “good enough” and the government hasn’t mandated a specific standard.

I work in a particularly niche area (home infusion/home medical equipment) and while HL7 and FHIR are indeed things, practically no software that was built for those lines of business had any sort of module for that. We have a FHIR interface now and…no one uses it. They prefer faxes.

For me it was

2000: Two thousand

2001: Two thousand one (or less formally “oh one”)

2009: Two thousand nine (“oh nine”)

2010: Twenty ten

And from there on. I think this is because of the amount of syllables. That’s why we switch to “twenty” instead of “two thousand”.

I work with healthcare software so I can echo most of what you’re saying.

The thing is the lowest common denominator is a fax (usually a fax server that creates a PDF or TIFF of what comes over the wire), so that’s what people go with. It’s the interoperability between different systems that’s the problem. There’s no one standard…except for faxes.

Yes, ethically it’s a very bad look. But I’m not a registered Democrat (or anything else) so I don’t have a say in how they run their organization.

I’m beginning to think you might be trolling based on your responses. In case I’m wrong…

The simple answer to your question was that people who voted in the Democratic Party primary didn’t want him to be their nominee. Of course you’re asking why.

In 2020, Sanders had the lead and the party leaders decided “guys, we can’t run a Socialist Jew against Donald Trump, so we need to pick a candidate and go with him.” A ton of people vying for the nomination dropped out and endorsed Biden. Their supporters voted according to the endorsements and we ended up getting Joe Biden.

ETA: To be clear the Democratic Party is a private organization and they can do whatever they want. It’s completely within their rights to say “we need to stop Bernie Sanders” and put in action a plan to do just that.

No one can answer that question but you.

The President can pardon anyone he wants for any federal crime as long as it’s backward looking. He can’t pardon someone for something that will happen in the future.

The President does not have the power to abolish pardons.

I had a disc-based MP3 player. The looks on my friends faces when I had 150 songs on my discman and they had 12.

You are a person who likes to eat.

I want to hear answers from men who really detest men who sit to pee.

I fear that you will not many of these kinds of people on Lemmy. If you really want a good answer, you’d have to post it somewhere like Twitter or Truth Social.

To be clear, he doesn’t want to marry his daughter. He wants to fuck her.

Fair enough. I find, for better or worse, there are very few people I care about to that extent.

When I visit with family this upcoming holiday season, I will do the kind thing and ask how things are going of my extended family. Not because I care, but because this is what is expected. My cousin is going to welcome his first child in the next few months. I am happy for him, and will offer my support in any way I can, but I don’t care about what he’s doing to prepare or “how he feels about being a dad.”

Edit: I still think your scenario falls under “you really care, you are not being nice” in this hypothetical.

The framing of this question is interesting. “…or are you just being nice?” Seems to assume that being nice is not a legitimate or authentic way of being, maybe unless it is a means of getting something you want.

What the OP is saying is “do you really care” or are you feigning interest because it is the socially acceptable thing to do? That’s what “just being nice” means.
