The original legal definition of bastard is any child born outside of marriage. I would assume the reason why it applies mostly to sons is because the law used to prevent bastards from receiving inheritance and royal titles. Daughters already had difficulty receiving these things, so a bastard daughter wasn't much different than a legitimate daughter.

In modern times, almost all legalities around bastard children have been removed from law since most children are bastards.

#2 is because, in the election interference case against Trump, one piece of evidence being used by the prosecution is that Trump instructed his Attorney General to send letters alleging that mass voter fraud was found to several state election officials, despite knowing that claim was false.

SCOTUS essentially ruled that even if that action could be considered a crime, Trump is immune from punishment since it's an "official act".

Only the theme really.

In hacknet, when you try to hack a target you'll see it has SSH and FTP services running. You run fake programs like SSHcrack.exe and FTPbounce.exe to exploit those services and the you're in.

In hackmud, when you try to hack a target you'll see it has an "ez_35" lock and a "c001" lock. The ez_35 lock requires an unlock word, something like "open", "unlock", "release" and a digit between 0 and 9. The c001 lock requires a color like "red" "purple" "lime". You need to enter the right inputs within the time limit to hack the target. You can do it manually, but most targets have too many locks with too many options to manually guess all of them in time. You'll need to write your own real life script in JavaScript that can detect locks and automatically guess every option for those locks. If you've ever done programming challenges then you shouldn't have too much difficulty writing these scripts. If you're new to programming it's not the easiest tutorial. The game provides very little direct help.

a single example of a situation where the President would need to break the law in an official capacity.

I definitely don't support the ruling but Obama has ordered drone strikes that killed children. Does that mean Obama should stand trial for murder? I think the idea is that the president is given the authority to do things most people can't, and because of that, they can't be held to the same standard as other people, at least while using that authority.

There really aught to be a line though. There can't be blanket Immunity on every single presidental act no matter what. Ordering the assassination of the al-Qaeda leader and ordering the assassination of the Democrat leader should not be considered equal actions under the law. Trump is already arguing that his conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results was an official action of the president. There's no way that should be considered valid.

It's known as surplus value. The amount of value created by a worker beyond what they've been paid to create it.

If a worker is paid $10 an hour and produces $100 of value in that hour then they have created surplus value of $90. Surplus value is kept by the company as profit. Socialists argue the amount of surplus value taken by companies has grown exponentially since the industrial revolution where a single worker could produce massive amounts of value in a small amount of time. Wages have not increased to compensate for the massive increase in surplus value.

You can find a prostitute to have sex with you for less than the price of Baldur's Gate 3 and, unlike Baldur’s Gate 3, sex hasn't even won Game of The Year.

If you made $0.1 for every $1 Amazon made you'd have $28,100,000,000 dollars a year.

Maybe this is the difference between American and Canadian politics? In Canada, it isn't unusual for a Prime Minister to step down and another person gets selected as Prime Minister. Not voted, selected, by the party in power. Biden would have been rotated with someone else by now.

During Brexit, that happened 4 times in a row! David Cameron stepped down and Theresa May took his place. She stepped down and Boris Johnson took her place. He stepped down and Liz Truss took his place, she stepped down (after just 40 days settings the record for shortest time as prime minister) and Rishi Sunak took her place. The general public didn't vote for these people to be Prime Minister. They were selected by the party in power.

That's why I'm sort of confused why Democrats don't just pick someone else. In a parliamentary system it wouldn't be a big deal. The general public are voting for a party, not a person.

Sunwing's lawyers likely charge more than that per hour. This is either to avoid setting a precedent that the company doesn't like or they're incredibly petty. I suppose those aren't mutually exclusive...

I've recently started using the Boost for Lemmy app on my phone and it's amazing. I was using Liftoff before but I'm switching over. However, I've noticed an issue. When I browse through communities using Liftoff I see a lot more posts and comments than when I use Boost.

I figured this was an issue with Boost at first, but when I used my computer to edit these screenshots I noticed the same thing happens in my browser!

Opening up https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy I see all the posts that Liftoff shows. Of course I'm not logged in since my account is on Lemmy.ca.

When I log into Lemmy.ca and view the community though: https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] I only see the posts that Boost shows! Many posts are now missing!

I figured this is an issue with Lemmy.ca blocking stuff. But wait! The most recent post (titled "Bug: Hiding all read posts also hides...") has the URL https://lemmy.world/post/6954944 which, of course, does not allow me to comment on since I'm not logged in. If I search for that post through Lemmy.ca I find the equivalent post with the URL: https://lemmy.ca/post/7377534 which now allows me to comment on it through my Lemmy.ca account.

Does any one know what's going on here? Clearly Lemmy.ca can "see" all the posts in the BoostForLemmy community on Lemmy.world. Even Liftoff manages to show all of them! So why does my browser and Boost for Lemmy not show everything unless I specifically search it out?
