People have been trying to do that for decades now. It won't suddenly happen between now and next election.

Unless you're someone who tends to B-negative anyway.

I live in a hole on the ground. Almost literally.

Edit: Dammit, deleted the wrong post!

Sure, I have $16,777,216.00 budgeted for tv.

We absolutely can unless he wants go go for an insanity plea, because that's the only way it could be claimed that he is unreasonable enough to not be held accountable. If he can't plead insanity, then he must be a reasonable enough person to be held accountable.

Intent is always hard to prove. Not a lawyer, but I believe this is where the standard of "reasonableness" comes in. Since we can't read Trump's mind, we can't just guess that he thought they were there and wave it away. We have to ask if a reasonable person, under the same circumstances, would have known whether or not those 11k votes existed. Given that he was told by basically everyone with knowledge of the matter that they didn't, we can conclude that he knew the votes were not there, and asking for the votes to be "found" was asking for them to be conjured up.

Roughly speaking, there are three different ways people handle when something they enjoy is changed in a way they don't enjoy.

The first simply cut their losses and move on, abandoning the thing. Nothing wrong with that. Things change and it's okay to move on to something else. Companies that are causing harm to their user base should suffer the consequences of their decisions. Do this too much, though, and you may find you abandon your loves too easily.

The second just accept and bear it. Arguably nothing wrong with that as long as you still enjoy it. Just be careful that apathy is not taken for permission for further change.

The third will attempt to fight back in an attempt to preserve it. These are the type who still use Reddit even though they know it's broken. They do not abandon it because to do so is to lose it entirely. They are trying to work within the system to change the system. Nothing wrong with that either, as long as you know when the battle is lost. They obviously don't believe it has been lost yet.

I'm hoping that the ep 1 opening was the studio just trying to be artistic and showing off (hard to animate angles, sweeping camera shots, etc.) in order to hook people in to the show, then they'll calm down for the remaining episodes.

You know, I'm sure I came across one earlier, but I can't find it now. I did find https://git.sr.ht/~kline/firebee now though, but I don't think that's what I had found before.

As someone who works with small businesses, most of whom run their own internal email server, I completely disagree. Yes, it does take some knowledge of DMARC, DKIM, SPF, and DNS, but any well-managed server would have those set up properly anyway. GMail has no issue accepting email from a correctly set up server.

AOL servers, on the other hand, are a massive PITA.
