You should really look into the case as to why that won't happen. The judge took special care to ensure Trump has no way to weasel out of paying: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/ny-fraud-case-damages-pay-millions-judge-engoron-rcna135283

Tldr: judge appointed two independent people, one to monitor his personal wealth and the other to monitor his company's finances. All of his assets in New York are completely frozen, as Trump moved all of what he owned to his company. He did this to claim he does not have a high net worth, but it backfired as he cannot use or sell his assets to pay the bill.

He can try to appeal, but 1) the only way he can do that is by claiming the case was a mistrial, that he was treated unfairly, and 2) he must put 110% of what he owes into a bond that will be held by the court during the appeal process. There are other things I didn't go over, just know the dude is actually fucked.

Ehhhh, I think 1080p is definitely serviceable, it's even good enough for most things. However, I think 1440p and 4k are both a pretty noticeable improvement for stuff like gaming. I can't go back to 1080p after using my 3440x1440 monitor.

What are you talking about? Progressives are the least reliable voting block in the US. This isn't some speculation, it is a known, well-studied fact. It is the very same fact that leads to the Dems becoming more conservative.

Do you have a link for where I can learn more about this

It's literally not, like actually. Google it.

That said, dude didn't illegally bypass Congress, they gave the president that authority in the 70s and expanded upon it under bush. I don't agree with it, I think he shouldn't have done it and that it shouldn't even be possible. It is absolutely something to legitimately critique Biden for, but it is not bypassing congress in some loophole thing.

In the 70's US, most people were entirely unaware of the subject. Violence against trans people absolutely occurred, and it was absolutely horrific, but the problems mostly stemmed from true ignorance. It was not like today where over 500 anti-trans bills were introduced this year to systematically harm, erase, and even hunt people for not identifying with what they were assigned at birth. With multiple organizations like the HRC declaring a state of emergency for trans people, yes, things today are undoubtedly more hostile than they have been in the past.

Talk to older people

How about you do that? I do quite frequently, in fact. From the events I've created or attended to celebrate trans identities, older trans people have exclusively expressed to me their fears for the growing hatred, and how it is unlike anything they have seen before. There are far more people that are accepting today than ever, yes, but there are also far more people who have so much extreme bigotry that they commit violence against trans people.

Bro deadass. I don't think I've seen a comment from them without it. Pretty sure they get paid to say it as much as possible, no matter how wrong it is.

Linkerbaan is the most spineless user on Lemmy, they do not make good faith arguments.

This is the most idiotic comment I've seen on Lemmy so far. Congrats, it's pretty impressive.

So courageous of you. That'll really help those people you claim to care about. I'm glad you're able to make a genocide about you and how you feel about it. You're so morally superior for choosing the path of giving up and ignoring things you don't understand, I hope you still feel smug about not supporting our society for being imperfect while trump starts putting people in camps.

Edit: also, from someone that actually chose to spend their life trying to do something about the shit you're talking about: go fuck yourself. It's so fuckin annoying seeing so many people on Lemmy think the most moral thing is to give up and ignore the problems of others while simultaneously using those problems against those who actually try to make a fucking difference. It's basically "well you didn't fix it so it's your fault".

You're having this conversation because those in charge want you to

This is as deranged as a damn qanoner. It's literally the exact same line of thinking. Yeah, you got this overly complicated world all figured out while no one else understands; believing there is a mysterious group in control is the most baseline conspiracy theory there is, it provides an understandable reason and solution to an infinitely complex reality that we cannot comprehend.
