  • So I don’t know many companies policies but let’s say you were talking about Apple in the U.S. for an example. If you go to your Apple account, sign in and security and scroll down you’ll find a section where you can add a legacy contact. This is supposed to be how you can grant access to your Apple Account pre-death without having to have the legacy contact present legal documents. Specific information will become accessible to that person as opposed to filing a the legal documents, see here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102431

    It is quite common that someone will want to access pictures for a family member whom has died recently for say the funeral. If I’m honest, I think there is. 0% chance you will gain access to someone’s account that quickly after death unless they are made a legacy contact, or you have access to one of their devices, know their passcode/phone number and have access to say their home wifi. (At which point you would be breaking into their account rather than gaining legal access but no one is going to fight it likely).

    If you don’t know their passcode, their iPhone/iPad would be rendered useless essentially, as they would have to be wiped to bypass it. But if they have their shit backed up to iCloud, the courts can grant you access to some information.

    Yes you will need a death certificate, and such


  • No a pardon doesn’t have to do with guilt. Guilt is depicted by a judge/jury or by taking a plea deal. A pardon can occur before charges are even filed, and one cannot be declared guilty until a conviction is made… Which would never come to be.

    So legally yes, that’s exactly how it works. If Trump pardons Kushner for using U.S. funds and negotiating on behalf of the U.S. like Kushners lawyer recognized he was the signatory on an account holding $770 million dollars but did not make any decisions without Trump approval.

    No charges have yet been brought against him. If said pardon goes through it doesnt mean he actually did anything wrong… it means he won’t have to appear in a federal court and explain where/when he turned over access to those accounts when Trump left office(he likely never did)

    But in the U.S. you are innocent until proven guilty, and in such a case… He wasn’t proven guilty.


  • Yeah I mean I believe that pardons shouldn’t really exist within the executive branch. If they are necessary I feel the process would be better if the executive branch had to send names and crimes you intend to congress with a period of say 60 days to review, a hearing date is set before congress and at the end of that 60 days the executive branch sends their members to present their “case” before congress of why they are special cases and the law shouldn’t just be updated for every individual who performs these acts, past/present/future. Then if 60% of congress votes for it it goes through, or if they vote for a 60 day extension to bring any new information brought during the executive branches testimony to their constituents to see if they need to change their stance.

    So effectively that would make it so congress and the executive branch have to be in agreement to overall a finding by the judicial branch. It also should prompt a review of the laws that they had broken to make sure they are brought up to date to ensure future cases aren’t need to be heard.


  • I don’t agree with that necessarily when people cheer to lock someone up without a cause. Like if a president came forward and pardoned say all the people who have immigrated to this country for any previous issues while filing out immigration paperwork, such as typos name changes, and so on then it isn’t directly to cover for guilt, but rather to protect a group of people from harassment.

    Edit then you can institute a review process and further assistance while submitting such paperwork in the future and it could mitigate witch hunts and mistreatment of people





  • Yeah when I was diagnosing Linux based servers being built grounding was always a serious thing, but the ESD vests you’d wear were really to save someone who makes an oops from well dying really. Massive multimillion dollar racks being connected/disconnected and running liquid cooling through the racks leaves you coming close to the power sources fairly often. The best way to run the power is above and then have them snap on at the top so people aren’t tripping over them, but the main issue with that is safety doesn’t come before profit, so instead of having dedicated breaker boxes at eye level one uses a metal pole with a hook and reaches up to turn on/off all the breakers when moving in/out racks you are working on. Large metal pole… High voltage/amps…






  • Yeah I wish he would have been able to, and he should have applied more pressure but without an act of congress, he couldn’t decriminalize it. He probably should have faught for it to be legalized recreationally instead of rescheduled to show it had medicinal uses)

    October 6 2022 he directed the HHS to review it. (He pardoned anyone federally charged with a possession charge of Marijuana that day)

    August 2023 the FDA/HHS completed the review and said it should move from schedule I to III

    December 2023: expanded the pardon from just simple possession to simple possession, attempted simple possession, and use/possession of marijuana on certain federal lands.

    No one was in federal prison for simple possession charges of marijuana at that time.


  • From what I’m guessing they are essentially merging a custodial account like Charles Schwab offers, and saying to enroll you can do so while filling your taxes. Only kids born 2025-now would get a 1 time account opening bonus kind of like when you open a checking/savings or other promotional account.

    So while they are saying the accounts are opened with money already in them that would be a vast stretch of the truth. Also since there has really only been about 5,000,000 births since 2025, the other 65,000,000 accounts they are claiming would not be eligible for getting any kind of bonus.

    That said this information would be coming from Chime who is partnering with them and they do not appear to be confident in it either: https://help.chime.com/account-security-00b00e5a/taxes-7d96431b/what-is-a-trump-account-66939cc7

    "The $1,000 seed contribution Children born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028 may receive a one-time $1,000 seed contribution from the U.S. Treasury. Children born before 2025 can still have a Trump Account opened but will not receive the seed contribution.

    About the seed contribution: The $1,000 is paid by the U.S. Treasury — not Chime. It is not part of your tax refund and does not go to your Chime account. It goes directly into your child’s Trump Account and is expected to be issued in summer 2026."


  • Leftists often call them liberal because many of them use the term to define one who believes in Liberalism.

    “Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.”

    Thus anyone who is liberal believes in the right to private property. MAGA strongly believes in such. No leftist believes in such. Thus in their use, a leftist cannot be a liberal.

    It’s just a different usage of a term based on cultural differences.
