The carrier agrees 😂😂.

If I get a speeding ticket I might agree to a fine 🤣.

Who runs the US, the people or the corporations?

That’s some pretty thick wood at a good angle. Maybe there’s a mythbusters, but I’d expect it could protect against small arms fire of the day.

‘Domus’? Nominative? ‘Go home’? This is motion towards. Isn’t it, boy?

I honestly do not know how IQ and the ability to judge the future outcomes of ones actions tie together.

I do know that confessing to crimes, and then saying that he’ll try to commit those same offences upon release is not a very sensible idea if he values his freedom from prison. On the otherhand perhaps the guy thinks his being a martyr for the cause and his openness will encourage others, time will tell.

It sounds like he needs mental help.

There’s no mention of a lawyer or any support, the guys just completely dropped himself in it. Perhaps a very low IQ or some sort of mental health problems that prison is really not going to help.

This is far from normal behaviour.

Rich family exploits their workers… suprise, suprise. I wonder just how many others they’ve exploited.

Nasty scummy people who should be in prison.

Gosh that was a quick year! Thanks 😁

As much I like the EU, politicians are politicians …

Sorry, yes I was slightly unclear in my response. (I’ve moved the paragraph to make it clearer)

The House of Lords in the UK is a mix of hereditary and life time peers nominated by the govt.

The House of Lords has limited powers (I think can veto or suggest amendments to a bill only once before the house of commons can force it through) and it is a archaic institution that we have kept, I guess it adds an extra check or balance to the elected representatives.

Thanks for the explanation.

Well gosh, I’ve had to go and read up on it too 😀

Looks like we both have the same 3 branches, but I was wrong in thinking the house of commons and lords were 2 of those branches.

In a perhaps slightly simplistic overview:

• Legislative - debates and decides the laws.

• Executive - executes or implements these laws in policy decisions (assigning funds to public bodies etc, setting mission statements)

• Judicial - interprets the implementation of laws when needed (e.g. edge cases)

Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. In the UK, the executive comprises the Crown and the Government, including the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers. The legislature; Parliament, comprises the Crown, the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

Also seems like the UK independence of legislature and executive branch is up to debate -https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers_in_the_United_Kingdom

I’m British, but it’s hard not to be aware of American stuff due to Reddit / Lemmy, movies, books, games, etc.

Are the 3 branches of govt.:

House of representatives, Senate, and judiciary?

We have house of commons, house of lords, and judiciary. First is elected, second is a mix of hereditary and nominated by govt I believe. Third is appointed by govt I guess.

Edit: looks like I got the branches wrong, see next reply.

Meh, it can be easy to feel like that. But take a moment to look at all the songs, movies, poems, and books about people who felt this way since the begining of time and know you’re not alone :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovoBi3pXD_A

What a great image. Thanks, I’ve a new phone wallpaper now.

So Wong it’s right?

Maybe it’s nothing more than the absurdity of Dorothy and the gang bumping into a road race

Although, I think safety matches are ones that will only strike on the rough side of the box, rather than a wall or chin stubble.

But I rather like the idea that they have matches that don’t burn all the way down. https://www.britannica.com/science/safety-match
