Now that’s not to say if it was challenged again in today’s Supreme Court that they wouldn’t overturn that like they did with Roe v Wade. But as far as I can tell they legally can’t right now.

Even if they voted for it and ratified it they couldn’t over turn it or legally secede from the USA.
In the 1869 case Texas v. White, the court held that individual states could not unilaterally secede from the Union and that the acts of the insurgent Texas Legislature — even if ratified by a majority of Texans — were “absolutely null.”
When Texas entered the Union, “she entered into an indissoluble relation,” Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase wrote for the court. “All the obligations of perpetual union, and all the guaranties of republican government in the Union, attached at once to the State. The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact; it was the incorporation of a new member into the political body. And it was final. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration, or revocation, except through revolution, or through consent of the States.”
Chase added: “The ordinance of secession, adopted by the convention and ratified by a majority of the citizens of Texas, and all the acts of her legislature intended to give effect to that ordinance, were absolutely null. They were utterly without operation in law.”
Another source of confusion and misinformation over the years has been language in the 1845 annexation resolution that Texas could, in the future, choose to divide itself into “New States of convenient size not exceeding four in number, in addition to said State of Texas.” But the language of the resolution says merely Texas could be split into five new states. It says nothing of splitting apart from the United States. Only Congress has the power to admit new states to the Union, which last occurred in 1959 with the admission of Alaska and Hawaii.
I mean it’s literally posted in theonion group… don’t ya feel like an idiot now lmao
Except ask a mortician is surrounded in massive controversy right now and has been proven to be giving out false information.
So if the new community is still federated with lemmy.world, if they reopen this instance does that not make things overwrite each other or would they have to defederate themselves from lemmy.world?
Sorry if this is a dumb question. New to the fediverse and lemmy in general.
Still have a bag of old snes and n64 carts in my closet along with at least 1-2 snes and n64 consoles from my childhood.
I would go to garage sales with my mom as a kid every weekend and I still do sometimes looking for clueless people throwing out old consoles.

Did it work?

Using wefwef at the moment (Apollo inspired) you can use it on android desktop and iPhone as it is a webapp and they show up as a link for me that I can then click and doesn’t embed it or inline it.
Yeah most everything I have used: wefwef, Mlem, web browser on my computer, lots of double posting.
Think it’s just growing pains from all of us coming from Reddit.
Awesome job! Already loving it here.
Wefwef is not bad for a web app that you can add to your Home Screen. Mlem is basically inspired by Apollo, seems easy to use. It’s in TestFlight so you’ll have to download that and then grab the link to the beta.
There is another one called memmy, but I can’t find a working TestFlight link for that one as it requires a code to download.
Definitely been a pastafarian since MySpace days :D
Is Atheism considered an organized religion though? Sincerely asking because someone mention that yesterday and it got me thinking, would Atheism actually be protected under religious freedom laws?

we need a religion that will make it so that you can’t believe in Christianity, republicans, trump supporters, etc… so that way we can claim it espouses our religious beliefs, just like that chucklefuck web designer said. This way we can be protected under this new ruling.
Sure whatever you say step corp-bro
