Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?
4·1 year agoA career is also about building and maintaining professional relationships. Keep in touch with former colleagues. Avoid burning bridges. Carefully choose which hills to die on.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the functional difference between the President having immunity for “official acts” and the powers granted to the German President under Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution?
1·1 year agoThis sounds like the status quo that existed before this ruling. Any president could plead the 5th to avoid answering questions about their motive.

81·1 year agoI didn’t say it wasn’t a terrible situation. I truthfully answered the OPs question that it’s not Article 48 as there are still opportunities for review by the other branches of government.

41·1 year agoThese actions were already possible. Nothing has been granted that wasn’t already there, but now we know a president can’t be sued/charged for official acts after they leave office. And it appears the burden of proof is, as always, up to the prosecutors to prove. So, once again, the courts will have to establish precedence over what they consider to be official and unofficial.

17·1 year agoGermany could have disavowed the Zimmerman Telegram and avoided or postponed the U.S. entering The Great War, but they fucking owned that shit.

5·2 years agoI also gave Outer Wilds a try and don’t think it stood up to the hype. Got through probably 95% of the story and then gave up on it, there were two “puzzles” that I just couldn’t figure out. Ended up reading a walkthrough and was not sad at all that I put it down.

You’re right. Just sad to see this being the highest rated comment on something that I really didn’t expect to have at all to do with religion.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the biggest plot hole in real life?
312·2 years agoWow, top voted reply. Damn Lemmy is cynical. There are many people out there doing God’s work caring for each other for no recognition, no reward. And certainly there are many folks out there too that make things look really bad, and the media loves to tell that story, but don’t for a moment think that that’s every Christian.

Plenty of folks in the real world still know murder is wrong, even when the murdered person has done heinous acts.
That said, I think this development was inevitable. People will only take so much inequality before taking matters into their own hands. I just hope we avoid the decent into anarchy that defined the lead up to WW1.
