If we ever have another elected president, I hope that one of their first acts after undoing literally everything that the orange menace has done is to replace every picture of trump in any government building with this.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, this is the real reason.

In the wake of 9/11, Congress issued a broad, many would say overly broad, Authorization for the Use of Military Force that basically granted the Office of the President open-ended permission for any conceivable martial escapade he might want in the Middle East. Every President of the 21st century has used this as the legal justification for meting destruction onto that part of the world: for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, bombings in Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Pakistan, as well as our little-publicized offensive in Northeast Africa.

Due to this, what Trump did is legal. Unfortunately it seems people just want to shoot the messenger now if they say something they disagree with, even if they're correct.

I 100% support removing Trump from power through impeachment and absolutely think he's a threat to democracy, but throwing bullshit articles of impeachment at him over and over just galvanizes his base when he continually shrugs them off.

It's sad but they've been like this since the get-go. They sued Galoob for the Game Genie (and lost), and they sued Blockbuster for copying manuals so that people could have the manual to review when they rented games (and won). Nintendo has always been excruciatingly aggressive about protecting and policing their copyrights and IP, even when they're dead wrong.

This is not an attempt to justify what they're doing, just to point out that it's unfortunately nothing new.

Can't wait to pick this up for $30 on PC 3 years after it's released. Fuck $80 games and fuck double-dip releases that don't release same-day on PC.

Stranger Things. Gave up after the first season. It just felt like the show was trying too hard to feel like something nostalgic from the 80s without any of the substance or writing the things from the 80s it was trying to mimic had.

Records don't mean shit when the ruling party is actively destroying records of things they don't like. History is written by the victors, and it's happening in real-time right now.

Even if he did, Trump would just pardon him

This is just the ammunition they'll use when they put a bag over her head and send her to El Salvador.

"We told her she had 7 days to deport. She's an immigrant with no due process. She didn't listen. She's now in CECOT. No, we can't and/or won't get her back, even if we're ordered to do so."

It's blatant at this point.

From Fox News, because it's patently bullshit. Garcia was never proven to be a gang member and the only connection was coerced testimony from a confidential informant who was facing deportation if they didn't act as an informant, who gave the information to a detective who has since been fired from his position for multiple abuses of power and for lying under oath. Garcia was arrested for being brown outside of a home depot, not for any actual crime.

Every single attempt that has been made to force the US DOJ to produce proof of his gang membership has been denied, because it's all a lie. FugginJerk just drank the kool-aid while telling other people not to drink the kool-aid.

But even that is beside the point -- even if it wasn't bullshit, he's still owed due process as part of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

No, not that he's not in support of LGBTQ, but that he hasn't been outspoken in his distaste for Rowling's support of anti-LGBTQ policy and rhetoric, like the 3 main actors in the HP movies were.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (4 children)

They're re-doing it because Rowling wants a new production with actors who aren't vocally outspoken in support of LGBTQ+, she came out and said it explicitly. This further doubles down that anyone involved in this production is an absolute pelican of a human being and should be shamed.

 

GPD has released a software only version of the fix for the screen stuttering issue in the GPD Win 4. The .EXE file IC/EC flash can be found here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pZWIv_5u0Ga-KIh7yUvYeiEaQXnjcwg9/view

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED IN THE FILE -- both readme.txt and readme_EC.txt -- (or follow se1000's new guide here) -- you MUST do both the EC flash (WIN4-V08.00.zip) and IC flash (Win4_LCD_Update.exe) to fix the stuttering. The IC flash will not work until you have done the EC flash.

  • Extract WIN4-V08.00.zip to the root of a USB stick
  • Boot from that USB stick (press F7 while booting to bring up the boot menu)
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to update the EC to V08.00
  • Unplug the USB stick and reboot Windows
  • Fully close MotionAssistant -- if it is running, it will stop the flash from succeeding.
  • Run the Win4_LCD_Update.exe as Administrator (REQUIRED -- right click, run as Admin) to update the Display IC

If you have any issues, join the Discord and ask in the GPD Win 4 channel, someone will be happy to assist.
