Couldn't be more infuriating than apple's forced 2fa that requires a phone number. Effectively making iOS devices useless unless you have a phone number.

Democrats getting both houses of congress is not implausable, assuming we still have elections in the future.

Packing the supreme court isnt hard, just need the democrats to find their spine. And they could just rebrand it as "Balancing The Court" for PR purposes.

Now finding the states that add up to 270 electoral votes to join the i reinstate conpact, that is the biggest hurdle, but the downballot effect should win enough state legislatures if democrats win congress. Right now we're 77% of the way there. One reason I speculate why they remaing swing states havent joined is becauss they want to wait until theres a friendly congress and supreme court before trying, because there will be legal challenges to it. If congress and supreme court are in control, then I could see swing states quickly joining the interstate compact in rapid succession.

We can kinda get rid of it via National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

First democrats need a majority in both houses in congress, as well as packing the court with more liberal judges.

Then have enough states with the required electoral vote threshold join the interstate compact.

Then have congress approve of it.

Then get the supreme court (now with liberal majority) uphold the interstate compact and rule that subsequent congressional sessions cannot revoke it. (Its currently implied that congressional approval of interstate compacts cannot be revoked, but has never been court tested)

Voila, you get popular vote. For as long as states dont start leaving the interstate compact. But at least you dont need 3/4th of state legislatures.

Smaller federal government when it comes to red states

Bigger federal government when it comes to blue states.

You mean like a VOIP number like Google Voice? Then no, your call get dropped when you move out of wifi range.

VoLTE doesnt count against your data plan, you dont even need a data plan to use VoLTE. In fact, most carriers require VoLTE these days so when you first insert the sim card, your carrier has sent a configuration profile instructing your phone to turn it on. You can turn the data to "off" but it still leave it on for VoLTE calls only.

Legal contract killing? Well if its a military contract then you get court martialed. If it's a "I sold my soul to trump" contract, you get fired... with a bullet in the back of your skull on 5th avenue, as the senate cheers affirming that that is indeed a legal execution.

Ah yea reddit seems to hate TOR.

Not to mention that most subreddits have a soft ban on new accounts. Extremely infuriating.

Lemmy seems so welcoming to TOR users, I mean I had to fill out an "application" but I just used a temp email. Lovely place, hidden behind anonymity, well kind of... as long as the NSA doesnt suddenly spend the entire US budget hunting me, I'd be anonymous. They got bigger fishes to catch.

Illegal contracts are not enforceable in court. You'll have to hire another contract killer to kill the contract-breaking contract killer.

Public forums do not have privacy

Data is definitely usable when you make a VoLTE call. But if you turn data off before the call happens, the data icon on the top quick setting panel where you pull down on the notifications indicates that data is "on", and attempting to turn it "off" would show a message saying "Unable to turn off data while Advanced Calling is on" Advanced Calling which I assume means VoLTE. So basically its this state where its on, but only for the purposes of VoLTE. If you have data set to on before the call happens, you can look up info while, for example, you talk to a customer service representative.
