Wait ... how is that link working?? kbin.social has been offline for months.
Edit: Ohhhh ... the name of the community at LW is "eattherich@kbin.social" - now I see.
No, you're right the 1st time. It's eattherich, hosted at kbin. It's a weird side effect of federating. The original instance hosting the comm is gone, but all posts and comments go into the local instance first (in this case, Ozma's posts to .world) to be federated back to the main instance (kbin). Since kbin is gone, that federation ain't happening, and nobody from any other instance can view the content from their home instance. But you can directly view .world's local copy of what it thinks the instance should look like, which contains all of Ozma's contributions.
This is super cool
I don’t think we’ve yet witnessed the full benefits of the distributed nature/federation.

Is it just me or is the sub empty
It's not just you. See my other comment for technical explanation.

I know it’s exited the news cycle, but I still remember this was a big thing for the left and right to both agree on supporting. I’d very much like to prompt Trump for his opinion on the man to force him to take a side.
prompt Trump for his opinion on ~~the man~~ anything to force him to take a side.
That's how you get banned from the press pool.
Best to not remind Trump that Luigi exsist. Don't need him falling out a window with the cameras off and the guards napping.

Is it possible to make a tax deductable donation to hit Trump or Musk?
No, but you might be able to set up a betting pool. If you just happen to win, make sure you have an alibi.
But seriously, don't do that. The person who originally thought up that, who I wont name because his name and the name for this thing are probably weighted heavy in the spider bots, was a student who landed in jail twice for tax evasion. Like, the second time happened immediately after the first.

idk if a Mario brother is the right person for that.
donate to BJ Blazkowicz instead.
Mushroom kingdom banks are a bit slow.
I mean nobody can carry 100 coins at the same time there because they turn into an extra life, so large transactions are labor intensive.

Anyone smarter than me in law know if there is even a remote chance he walks?
I'm not good at law but I have heard from people smarter than me that there are chances for at least a hung jury (I think could be retried) and there's also another option called jury nullification, where the jury essentially says, "yeah we know he is guilty but we don't agree with the law in this case" and acquits.

Aside from the nullification and hung jurys, there's a good chance for a mistrial from them parading him around and letting everyone in the US know he fought for them.

No. He's going to die in prison. I'm not happy about that fact. I'm just telling the truth. Just like there's zero chance Charles Manson ever gets out. There's zero chance Luigi gets out.
Might happen. Then when a sensible government gets in, somewhere down the line, we pardon him and make him secretary of HHS

Need to get him out of there ASAP. Hopefully the inmates got his back so the guards don't get him 1 on 1

How is he going to defend against suicide with a bullet to the back of his head?
