  • Idk man, the universe is an algorithm.

    Everything I did, am doing, and will do, are all part of the algorithm. I have no control. Free will is a lie. Even the act of me typing this comment, is not of my free will. The neurons are making me do it. AH FUCK STOOOOP IT YE FUCKING NEURONS, BAD NEURONS…

    Everything is fine, I have free will, disregard everything above, that’s the other half of the brain in this body that’s being weird.

    THERE IS NO FREE WILL

    AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

    You did not choose Lemmy. Lemmy chose you! Accept your fate. Accept Determinism.















  • Oh yea. One of the reasons why I went for a Samsung A-Series instead of the S-Series is the microSD card slot. Yes, that slot is just soooo goood.

    I can get an A series phone for like $400 with IP67 Water Resistance, and buy a $130 1TB MicroSD card and Voila, a 1TB phone. The cheapest Galaxy S-Series phone with 1TB storage is a $1500 Galaxy S-Something Ultra.

    Like bruh, I don’t want to pay $1000 more if all I want to do is watch youtube videos with it.

    I can have an offline wikipedia, like 10 TV shows, a few movies, the top 100 of my favorite Youtube Videos, thousands of books (that I’ll probably never read), cat photos, more cat photos, cat videos, and even more cat videos… etc…

    I have a mini computer in my pocket.

    Sadly no replaceable battery tho 🤷‍♂️





  • Yes, they are legally obliged to disobey illegal orders.

    But ultimately, its the judicial system that would decide if their refusal of the orders were acceptable or not.

    Soldier facing a court-martial in the US get a panel of their peers, similar to a jury. So their peers could, in theory, do a “jury nullification”.

    But, in a court martial, only 3/4 is required to convict, and a general court-martial, where death penalty is not a possible punishment, it requires only 8 members. So you need 3 of the 8 to even try to hang the jury, you need 6 of the 8 to acquit.

    (Not a legal expert, just googled it)

    There is zero chance that the current composition of the US military will invade Canada.

    They’ll need a lot of military purges, and then take like a decade to use propaganda to turn the people against Canadians.

    And given the long friendship between USA and Canada, this is very unlikely to happen.

    Americans would riot, soldiers to refuse orders. The entire military would splinter into Pro-Constitution and Pro-Maga. A civil war would be fought before the battle ever reached Canada

    The Pro-Constitution side would get help from Canada (obviously), so will many European countries.

    Russia would probabbly help the Pro-Maga side.

    I think China would just not get involved, and focus on their own thing: Taiwan.
