@yurilowell @IGN People keep making this joke but cable is typically $120-200 / month, on-demand content is limited if it even exists, and every channel is playing ads 1/3 of the time. The streaming service wasteland is still a night and day improvement over the old model.

@redditSpacePorn You can make the moon look exactly like this with a telephoto lens from the right location

Without something to compare to, the size of celestial objects in the background of a photo is pretty arbitrary

@Asimpleman1981 @johndwick411 @ABC There is a legal process put in place for what you're talking about, and it isn't sheriffs do whatever the fuck they want.

Again, elected legislature and elected Governor passed this law. That is the will of the people. A sheriff can't unilaterally defy the will of the people.

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@Asimpleman1981 @johndwick411 @ABC The Governor (executive branch) signed the bill that state congress (legislative branch) passed. The sheriff (executive branch) is sworn to uphold the law.

If a law is unconstitutional, it gets challenged in court and evaluated by judges (judicial branch). Sheriffs aren't judges

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@BigMortar1 @Rensontwitts @ABC It is not within the rights of a sheriff to usurp the power of all three branches of government and act unilaterally according to an unqualified personal interpretation of the law.

You even stole my cosplay insult, do I have to have both sides of this argument for you dude? 🤦‍♂️

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@reconzar @DrJMan007 @ABC Correct. As an executive branch member, the sheriff enforces the code of laws enacted by legislation.

By declaring a law unconstitutional and defying it based on personal interpretation, the sheriff is trying to usurp the power of the legislative and judicial branches.

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@johndwick411 @ABC I don't know how you go from talking about how the government is planning to disarm the population and then two comments later dismissing any possibility of a military coup.

By what reasoning do you suppose people are entitled to possess deadly weaponry if not gov tyranny?

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@Dopeydopeman420 @ABC Nobody forgot it, but southerners / conservatives have abused the states rights argument so much to defend their despicable beliefs that it's become a heavily sandbagged concept.

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@Sourdough777 @ABC If you have to pretend that being asked to confiscate weapons and being asled to commit murder are somehow equivalent scenarios with the same degree of urgency, then it's no wonder that you're so morally clueless and I have no interest in trying to pull you out of your delusion.

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@Dopeydopeman420 @ABC It means that law can be challenged and defeated in court. It doesn't mean the cities of Illinois are free to rebel against their state government and run local anarchies because they are sore losers.

This is the worst receiving I've ever seen in an NFL game

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@johndwick411 @ABC Show me one that sells tanks or assassin drones or any legit military tech. The idea that having an AR-15 or not enables a citizen to fight back against an oppressive government is laughably stupid and childish in 2023. It's a boys with toys issue, nothing more.

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@johndwick411 @ABC So my right to keep and bear nuclear arms shall not be infringed? Where do we draw the line?

The government can kill millions in the blink of an eye so each and every citizen needs the same or our democracy will die right?

Just admit this is about boys having hard ons for guns.

Thompson shows up to play and his receivers literally dropping the ball all over the place 😅

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@johndwick411 @ABC The Founders had no opinions pertaining to 21st century weaponry that they couldn't possibly conceive of.

But they did include "well-regulated" which doesn't mean "any dumbfuck with a Rambo fantasy can horde as much weaponry as they want".

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@reconzar @DrJMan007 @ABC No, they are not elected to pick and choose which state laws to follow, which to ignore, or which to make up based on their own personal whims.

Stop arguing and go buy a 2nd grade civics textbook. You need to learn about the three branches of government and their functions.

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@BigMortar1 @Rensontwitts @ABC Yeah it is awkward, which is why neither the Federal nor the state constitution allows locally elected sheriffs to unilaterally interpret and enforce the law as feudal lords.

It shouldn't be this hard to explain the US govt to a bunch of cosplay patriots but here we are.

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@johndwick411 @ABC It's not in a sheriff's authority to unilaterally interpret and enforce the Constitution as he sees fit as if he's King of the County

There is a democratic process to determine the law, and the sheriff takes an oath to uphold the law, not stand in defiance of it like a tyrant

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@LaundryGuy1945 @ABC Passing a law through state congress in a Constitutionally-defined process is tyranny?

You don't understand or respect anything about the Constitution, freedom, or democracy. You're a child with a gun and a god complex.

[zer0vital @zer0vital]

@S30167368J @ABC The Constitution literally defines the remedy but you'd rather have anarchy.

That's what drives me nuts. You pay lip service to the Constitution but you don't actually understand or respect anything about it.

It's cosplay patriotism via ignorance and tribalism 🤷‍♂️
