This is a state crime, not federal, so he can’t pardon himself as president. I think he could if he was governor of New York, which seems like a long shot.
And New York’s AG has seemed pretty keen on seizing his property if he wouldn’t pay before. Idk if they can do that for these types of fines but I’m sure they will if they can.
Oh, you’re the same user who was lying in another comment thread about trans people beating you up in a coffee shop.
Ironic that you’re commenting about politicians making up stories about trans people to scare voters, seeing as you’re doing the same thing to win an argument on the Internet.
I mean… I care about pronouns, so do most of my trans friends, and I’d like to think we’re all “decent” trans folks. It sucks when someone misgenders you. I would also like the conservatives in my country to stop using trans rights as a wedge issue. I can care about both of these things at the same time.
I’m not the top level commenter. I can say that all of those things suck ass and I would be personally impacted by several of them (roe, trans care)… if I lived in a red state. Yes, I live in a certain amount of fear that the next Republican president might make significant strides towards national policies that could reach me even in my very blue state. Yes, I have a huge amount of sympathy for everyone who does live in a red or swing state. But top level commenter has a point that, right now, I’m not directly, personally impacted by these things. And idk where OP is from but it’s a good wager that their country also has some shit they need to pull together, and I don’t find their concern trolling productive or supportive. Lemmy already leans politically left; how is our domestic policy their business and what do they hope to accomplish here?

Adam Ragusea on YouTube might be the vibe you’re looking for. His video style varies a bit, but he often tries to show the whole cooking process (speeding up boring stuff like dicing a bunch of onions, but not cutting it out) because he thinks it gives a better idea of how much work the average home cook will actually need to do. His philosophy is to make food that’s approachable for amateurs and also discuss why he’s making the choices he’s making, because what works for him might not work for you. As far as ingredients go, I often see him spooning flour directly out of the bag while he cooks, but the video quality is still pretty good so it’s pleasant to watch.
Alternatively, if you like comedy in your cooking shows, check out You Suck At Cooking. Also very unpretentious, but maybe not a great how-to channel.
Deafness is commonly understood to include both total and partial hearing loss. Every major dictionary defines it this way. It might have a more precise meaning in some spheres (medical, etc), but in common English it is not binary the way you’re suggesting.
