Yeah there's definitely a problem that's more than just a few hours delay. It's got 50 votes and 10 comments when viewed from a non-lemmy.world account.

It's worth giving the judge's letter a read. He had this distributed to all the people that wrote in on the defendant's behalf, since many people thought he was a good person and did nothing wrong. The judge set the record straight: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.227212/gov.uscourts.dcd.227212.272.0.pdf

Yeah I made a post for my instance admins and they mentioned they're seeing a huge queue build up for post/comments to and from the lemmy.world instance, but not other instances. My guess is that something is going on with lemmy.world. I posted something to their support community but haven't seen anything yet from them.

Here's from my other account.

I'm guessing you'll get this comment (from my lemmy.world) account well before you get my other reply (from my sh.itjust.works) account. Even though I made this comment later.

When logged into a lemmy.world account, I couldn't see the post above on the Helldivers community until actually clicking that link. Even still, I can't see comments or anything on the post when following the link.

Wow I just tried this and it really does work!

Glad to see it. I'm curious as to what that means practically. Does the court have the ability to force him to pay or can he just drag his feet indefinitely?

Jesus, that good air / bad air quote was hard to read. If I'm following him, and I might have too many braincells to do this correctly, he's arguing that we shouldn't have clean air because then someone else might benefit from our clean air? So we should just pollute the shit out of our air, because then at least the Chinese won't have a shot at getting any of our sweet, sweet clean air?

That's like saying you're not going to put indoor plumbing in your house, because your neighbor might not put indoor plumbing in their house. And if they're going to live up to their necks in shit, you'll be god-damned if you're not gonna live neck-deep in your own shit too! Otherwise, if you weren't absolutely drowning in your own shit, there's a chance that you might catch a whiff of your neighbor's shit, and ain't no way are you gonna let that happen.

Their problem is that they've been making abortion a wedge issue for so long, that it's now impossible for them to back down. They've been catering to the religious right, pushing a message that life begins at conception and any form of abortion (and some birth control) is literally the same as murdering babies. And their base ate that shit up.

Now they're trying to backtrack, which leads to their hilarious message of basically "look, we're going to have to kill a few babies to get into power, because power is more important." Good luck trying to sell that.

Lmao, Trump got fined $10,000 on the spot for violating his gag order about shit talking the court staff. A small slap on the wrist, but I love the immediate consequence.
