- Comment on If you have ANY Canadian ancestor, you are likely a Canadian citizen as a result of recent changes in Canadian law 1 day ago:
Looks like my 2nd great grandfather was born in Hawkesbury, Ontario in 1881! I think that means I qualify!

Thank you!
- Comment on If you have ANY Canadian ancestor, you are likely a Canadian citizen as a result of recent changes in Canadian law 1 day ago:
So, if I understand this correctly, if I can prove that one of my ancestors was a Canadian citizen, then all their descendants have automatically been made Canadian citizens, including me?

Holy shit, I might be a Canadian citizen!
My genealogy might finally pay off! I have a lot of French Canadians back in my family tree. Now to track down the documents to prove it

Fucking awesome. Just erasing trans people from public existence for refusing to be treated like equals. What a garbage country and state
- Comment on Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal? 1 week ago:
Oh yeah, definitely! Even in legal states, if you’re on federal property (like National Forests), possession is still a crime. Gotta be careful with stuff like that
I meant that they aren’t arguing over it as in the DOJ isn’t suing states over having legalized it. Although if I recall correctly, the Obama admin DEA did conduct raids on medicinal dispensaries in states where it was legal
It gets weird and messy fast
- Comment on Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal? 1 week ago:
Yep. But when two laws are in conflict, the higher law wins. So state laws supersede local laws, and federal laws beat state laws. Of course, there is also weirdness where the higher body might just choose not to argue with the lower body over conflicting laws, like with cannabis legalization.

- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 3 weeks ago:
Almost always yes, it is a scam. Theoretically, it’s a hedge against inflation, but in practice, it’s just grifters selling it to paranoid right wingers
- Comment on If the US was partitioned, what new states would you want to appear? 3 weeks ago:
I think it would be neat to have states conglomerate around shared bioregions. Like a new country made up of the Great Lakes states, for example. Maybe add some Canadian provinces too? Like if you made the Great Lakes Charter into a country

Do you have proof that this is likely to happen within our lifetimes?

Context-dependent, but it likely means they believe they are being gang stalked

- Comment on Do Americans expect the NK protest to achieve anything? 2 months ago:
Movements take time to build momentum. The first protest isn’t going to immediately solve everything. But this is how change starts to happen. People start getting more comfortable going to protests, maybe they bring a friend next time. People make connections to other organizations and activists at protests that can help them do more after the protest is over.
And it’s a sign that, despite the amount of power as he’s already seized, and as much as he might not like it, he can’t stop millions of people peacefully protesting against him.
And Trump makes fun of a lot of things. I don’t give his word any credit on any other topic, why would this be any different?

- Comment on What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over? 2 months ago:
I agree he has no intentions of leaving office, but neither of his sons have the charisma to carry on the cult of personality. Whenever and however he dies, there is going to be a massive power struggle that ensures, and I don’t know if there’s anyone that can pull off being the sole inheritor of the MAGA movement

AFAIK, you are correct, Lemmy does not have karma. Piefed has some sort of karma/reputation by account, but it seems geared more toward easing moderation than providing a status symbol, iirc
