That’s impossible! I’ve got a dinosaur puzzle that clearly shows a Stegosaurus figting a T-rex.
enkers@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•The Justice Department and Google battle over how to fix a search engine monopolyEnglish23·23 hours agoI think you’ve got keep in mind that the cogs of the justice system turn slowly.
This is the district level damages decision which will finalize a ruling that was made nearly a year ago. After that, it can be appealed which can be heard by the circuit courts, and then finally the Supreme court, which is ostensibly where Trump has the most sway.
If there’s no play here, it’s because it still hasn’t got far enough through the system for him to want to interfere at this point.

Even their humans look like animals. It’s just further proof of Disney’s furry adgenda. Like who would draw this stuff otherwise:
I’m on to you, Disney!
Logistics is just like playing Factorio, right?
enkers@sh.itjust.workstoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•Soldiers in combat can kill without moral injuryEnglish1·5 days agoSounds like bs. Everyone has to live with the consequences of their own actions. There are different ways they can face em, but they still have to.
Even if you preempt the circumstance and build some sort of psychic containment, it’ll sit there like siloed nuclear waste.
If you just keep lying to yourself, the price is no longer being able to look truth in the eye.
enkers@sh.itjust.worksto Canada@lemmy.ca•Liberal government's high immigration policy created housing crisis: report1·7 days agoI’m fairly pro immigration, but it shouldn’t be used mainly as a source of cheap labour to drive down corporate costs and extract money from Canada. Immigrants need time to acclimate to Canadian society, and having too high an immigration rate risks losing our values of tolerance, and equality.
And while I do kinda agree with the headline, the timing is certainly rather suspicious coming from Conservative owned media. Also, I don’t think Conservative policy on the matter would be that substantially different, as they’re equally pro-corporate.

Now I’m picturing this jeep taking 20 minutes to decelerate, all the while you’re just starring at them, wondering if they’re ever actually going to come to a complete stop.
I mean… maybe? Could an EO be used to just dismiss an existing case? Maybe. It’s kinda make believe land over there right now, so it’s hard to say what is and isn’t in the realm of possibility.
And I don’t know the legal system well enough to say for sure how he could go about it. Presumably some bureaucracy would have to be intervened in to stop the case from proceeding normally. Whether or not he could do that legally seems to be a bit contentious:

However, there’s also the question of could he just have some cronies walk in to the place with a bunch of dudes in black suits and do it anyways? I think the DoJ would be pretty pissed if he tried that, but he’s already been flirting with contempt of court and we haven’t seen any judge pull the trigger on that yet, so we’ll see, I guess.
There’s also the fact that nobody’s given him incentive to do it yet. They’ll probably wait and see, as Trump would likely need a sizeable reason to step in, so why pay potentially more on Trump whithout knowing what the damages will even be, right?
