Well, maybe I’ll try again in the future but I don’t currently own a Samsung.
I’m also on Mastodon as https://hachyderm.io/@BoydStephenSmithJr .

I guess the answer to at least one of those is no. Last time I tried a battery replacement, I broke the screen either during assembly or disassembly. I build my own desktop PCs, and have fixed laptop monitors and drives, but every time I attempt hardware repair on something phone-ish, I make it worse (even going back to when I owned an OpenMoko).
Justice can be achieved without racism.
Actually, it can’t. Since racism caused the injustice, identifying the victims and restoring their losses is impossible without using it.
The pendulum swing (post-dampening) is the only practical way to get to justice.
This is especially true since we can’t know we’ve achieved societal justice without some measurement delay.
A talented artist should combine Zohran Mamdani’s campaign photo and the movie posters for “Conan the Destroyer” and “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” to produce a “Zohran the Destroyer” meme image.
Anyone working-class that’s unhappy with the DNC should look into the Working Families Party. They are non-existent where I am, but I believe they are fairly active in NYC in particular, and on the other coast as well.
Hopefully, the DNC won’t do something stupid (e.g. support someone other than Mamdani).
Is the NYC Mayor General also ranked choice? Vote splitting is less impactful with ranked choice.
Still, it would be nice to see what a democratic socialist executive can do with NYC.
Honestly, since I found Lemmy, I mostly ignore (or don’t even see) Reddit news. Rarely it still shows up when I search things, but I just view those without logging in and don’t vote / comment.
I think my Reddit account still exists, but I haven’t logged in since 3rd party apps stopped working. It took me a bit to find Lemmy, and I’m still not on it was frequently as I was on Reddit.
I deleted my Twitter account when they announced they would be training grok on my tweets. I hadn’t logged into it since Elmu mass-banned a bunch of journalists for retweeting the “Elon’s Jet” account. I decided Mastodon was more likely to not get between me and the journalists I wanted to see microblogs from.
I’m not hardcore. I an still well-entrenched in the Google ecosystem (primarily YT). I still have a Facebook account, and occasionally login to un-tag myself. I use Amazon Pay / Paypal whenever I can, tho I at least stopped paying for Prime when they decided to start putting ads in Prime Video stuff.
It’s like intraoffice e-mail.
That’s why Elmu wants to go to Mars.
I wish that injustice didn’t happen to you, but I believe it did. Also, it tracks with some of the “issues” with speedy trials in the U.S.
Depending on jurisdiction the clock “stops” when there’s a undecided motion in front of the court and in those jurisdictions it’s relatively easy for a prosecutor and a judge to conspire to put off a “speedy” trial arbitrarily long. I’m sure such tactics could give grounds for appeal, and might even be standing to sue the judge, prosecutor, and jurisdiction for violating your constitutional rights, but they’ll definitely work at least until the are properly and expensively challenged to establish precedent. Plus, I know sometimes constitutional rights are held to protect someone from federal action, but most criminal complains are handled by the states, and not every state has a “speedy trail” in their state constitution.
The criminal system in the U.S. is too easily abused by authority; we need real reform. I think we need do need jails and prisons and adversarial court cases, but there’s got to be some way to get by with fewer of them.
Depends on the jurisdiction, but in most of the U.S. “speedy” (~90 days) is actually the default, and you have to waive your right to one if you’d like more time.
I believe most defendants choose to waive their right to a speedy trial in order to have more time to prepare. It’s so common that many judges schedule themselves under that assumption and some will even be biased against persons that do not waive that right.
[Judge] Murphy was angry with [attorney] Weinstock because the public defender wouldn’t waive a client’s right to a speedy trial, the complaint says.

Even an arrest is temporary if we haven’t thrown out due process. Habeas Corpus means a judge has to look at things, and decide to extend the detention until trial. Also, the trial has to be “speedy”.
It’s probably not good that there is a mechanism for legally detaining someone for months without them being an imminent threat to themselves or others. But, that’s been status quo as long as I’ve been drawing breath, so I’m used to it.
I think you are running a risk of No True Scotsman, but I agree that detoxified masculinity rejects controlling persons.
Agreed. I tend toward more literal translations for instruction/explanation – it made things stick better for me when learning Spanish. But, yes, in context “harder” is a definitely a more useful translation.
“tres bien” is “very good”
“si vous plait” is like “please”
“plus fort” is like “more strength”
I’ve never studied or learned French, but you can pick up some of this stuff from “throwaway” French in other context and the etymology shared with other languages.
So, basically just the stock U.S. porn phrase translated to French.
Practice. It get to Chestnut’s level, it has to be intentional.
3 popeyes sandwiches used the be a common order for me, but I try to eat less these days. Most of my practice was not with purpose of getting better, but I enjoyed the feeling of fullness even as a child and still love a buffet.
