Narrator: They weren’t.

They’re not “acting” like it’s nothing new. It is nothing new, and we’ve had large, nation-wide protests because of it.

Perhaps you’ve noticed how the majority of the responses here are some sarcastic version of “yeah, no shit”?

No, it’s not like saying that at all. Comparable racially motivated arrest rates (and criticism) happens in towns like Ferguson, MO; Brookside, AL; Pine Lawn, MO; St. Ann, MO; Country Club Hills, MO; Walnut Grove, MS; Benton, AR; and Richland, MS to name only a few.

Each of them is, as the commenter pointed out, in the south and many are in Missouri and Mississippi. These are racist towns that use arrests and police violence against, usually, black people as a violent form of oppression. Perhaps Ferguson, MO rings a bell?

The other commenter wasn’t saying “there’s nothing to see here,” they are saying there’s a lot more to see here, and it happens to be regionally specific for these more egregious examples, but it happens across the country. Perhaps “Black Lives Matter” rings a bell? This is a large part of what BLM is about.

What you don’t realize is that this is how poor people in America get healthcare. 🤣😅😐😭

Defensive much?

It doesn’t need a 4K screenshot. It needs enough data/metrics from any given single frame to run it through analytics and an algorithm to tailor ads. Backend surveillance like this isn’t interested in fidelity to the human viewing experience. It needs identifying data. That can be had through a combination of low quality data scrapes done numerous times.

“Screenshot” is more like a metaphor here. Sort of like how your Apple or Google photos are “private,” but the data and analytics taken from them you’ve given away. It’s like if you told me I could look at all the photos on your phone and take as many notes and subject them to as much analysis as I wanted, but I promised not to actually physically keep your phone/photos. Probably makes you feel like your photos are securely still in your possession, but I got what I wanted. Your data is technically private, but my data about your data is mine.

Sweep them into the ocean and throw their lawyers in with them for good measure.

And nothing of value will be lost.

Let’s skip to the part where they demand federal monies to rebuild in the same disaster-prone areas.

Before the election, he won’t support changing the law that allocates votes as it’s currently done.

They aren’t saying allocate the votes to a candidate, they’re talking about how the votes are currently allocated within the electoral college in the state.

It’s a 2-trillion-dollar company, I think news of their coming demise has been exaggerated.

That is true, but they are a problem, and one far more frequent and increasing. I’m not saying I agree with the method here, but it’s specifically targeting “knuckleheads,” which I take to mean (largely) young males that think it’s funny or gets them out of tests or whatever at the cost of often scaring a large amount of other young people, school employees, and parents.

That’s a feature not a bug. -Montana probably

👍

I guess she won’t get your vote then. But thanks for keeping her in the public eye. People that might vote for her aren’t going to be bothered by this. All you’re doing is reminding voters she exists.

Edit: oh god, you’re that dude that posts over 3,000 comments a month. Nevermind, as you were.

Well “in so many words” she did call him a war criminal and described his war as criminal as well. And since that wasn’t enough, she immediately followed up by releasing a statement specifically calling him a war criminal to clear up any confusion.

I think Stein is a spoiler candidate, very possibly in the pocket of Russia, and annoying af, but this is trying to make something out of nothing.

When immoral crimes go unpunished due to a corrupt legal system, violence often follows. That judge isn’t the first, nor will be the last, to learn that claiming to be “above the law” offers no real protection. A fair and functional legal system is essential for a less violent society. When justice isn’t applied equally, violence rises. Laws don’t prevent violence—they only punish it afterward. I imagine many people’s last words were some version of “too bad, because that’s illegal.”

Crazy that is already 60% instead of 64% since you posted this. No deeper comment there other than just noting how fluid this election is. We are one Harris mistake (and remember, mistake tolerance for Harris is significantly lower than Trump; Trump is basically one long series of mistakes that has little effect on his numbers; if Harris mispronounces Gaza once she loses 5%), one unexpected event, one butterfly-wing flap from those numbers going to even or worse.

40% of the time Trump wins. 40% of the time, an authoritarian leader assumes the presidency of the most powerful country in the world.

I stand by my statement that no Harris supporter should feel confident or comfortable. That’s… frighteningly high.

This post is further evidence that everyone should be required to take a statistics course. It’s like saying “statistical probability says there is a 66.6% chance of me rolling this six-sided die and getting a 1, 2, 3, or 4, but I rolled a 5, so that model is WRONG!!”

I hope you can see how dumb that sounds.

Additionally, Lichtman referred to the popular vote in his book, essay on the topic (neither of which I assume you’ve read), and in all previous predictions. So he was actually wrong about his 2016 prediction given Trump lost the popular vote, much though Lichtman has tried to revise history since then.

Just a clarification, Silver doesn’t run a fork of the old 538 model. He took the model with him. 538 developed their own after he left.

As I recall, in terms of the electoral college, neither Biden nor Harris have, at any point, been projected to beat Trump. It’s not “becoming” scary, it’s been scary for quite some time.
