Anyone in Hamilton county Ohio recognize this truck?
  • If it's a recent picture, his tags are expired. They might care about that.

    Was it my imagination that most people believed in a 9/11 conspiracy?
  • My brother in christ, I'm not talking about the pretext the government used to attack Iraq. I'm talking about the fact that the two things had nothing to do with each other.

    Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. The fact that the government used that as a pretext doesn't magically link the two things.

    Proton CEO comments about proton drive client for linux
  • I'm not skilled enough to be able to speak to that.

    Maybe I'm in the minority, but all I need is a fuse plugin. I don't need specific syncing like a OneDrive/Google Drive app.

  • we were attacking a country for the president’s personal vendetta

    This had nothing to do with 9/11. Invading Iraq was much later. You're conflating the two.

    "Bush did 9/11" is crazy talk. "Bush invaded Iraq because he wanted to get back at Saddam Hussein and make money for Halliburton" is not.

  • It's unclear that they need to handle a specific flavor when they could release a Flatpak. I think the community wouldn't have any problem tweaking the dependencies for particular distros.

    Ohio is sending troopers and $2.5 million to city inundated with Haitian migrants
  • My understanding isn't even that there is a law enforcement problem there, but Republicans are going to Republican. The healthcare spending is at least a good thing.

    I read that the library now has an interpreter that speaks Haitian Creole and have provided resources for the immigrants to help them learn English. Libraries are always at the forefront of this stuff. They're amazing.

    Did we have another outage / rollback? Some comments seem to be missing.
  • I definitely had trouble accessing the site yesterday, but I don't know about a restore from backup. In any case, thanks to @seahorse@midwest.social and anyone else involved in the technical side for keeping the site running.

    Have police finally overstepped enough that reform could happen?
  • No. Cops have convinced a majority of people that they need to be able to break the law in order to protect them.

    Springfield? You here?
  • Yeah any influx of that many people in a short amount of time is going to strain the services of any smaller city, regardless if they're Haitian or Canadian. That would even be a problem in any of the large cities of Ohio.

    how do I accept that a doctor earns more than double what I do?
  • This lazy doctor earns more than double my salary. It’s depressing.

    Wait until you find out how lazy people with inherited wealth are...and they make way more than double your salary in passive gains.

    NATO apologism
  • This is how it's supposed to work on the Fediverse. If you don't like an instance, you defederate. I take no position on people at lemmy.ml, but unless people are rage addicts the best thing to do is ignore instances you find objectionable.

  • My understanding is that .ml was cheap (maybe free?) and the Marxist-Leninist thing was a happy coincidence/backronym.

  • The thing is that what this guy did is absolutely gambling. Investments are gambles but the risk is low. This was just putting everything on 00 and when it didn't pay out, he got as much credit from the casino he could and bet again.

    ohiocapitaljournal.com Ohio transgender candidate disqualified for only including legal name, not former name, on petitions - Ohio Capital Journal

    A transgender candidate for the Ohio House has been disqualified because she only circulated petitions with her legal name, instead of her former name — and it has put multiple other LGBTQ+ candidates in flux.

    Ohio actually has a law that says if you legally change your name within the last 5 years, it has to be on the petition. In the article it mentions that there is no place for a previous name (dead name in this instance) on the petition, and the Secretary of State’s candidate guide doesn’t mention this requirement at all.

    Apparently other trans candidates had their petitions accepted with no problem.

    ohiocapitaljournal.com Ohio Senate votes to approve changes to the marijuana law. DeWine urges bill's passage - Ohio Capital Journal

    The Ohio Senate passed a bill Wednesday with various modifications to the state’s marijuana law.

    Looks like the Senate bill has gotten better. There is some good and some bad. They're cutting back on home grow and max potency for extracts. They're expunging all convictions on possession of 2.5oz or less, and I think most importantly, allowing people to buy from medical dispensaries for recreational use. Right now, it's legal to possess, but illegal to sell. This should fix that loophole.
