  1. It's worse than that. They want to manipulate and abuse, while being supported as victims, with more money as a reward. I know not everyone is like this. But I am tired of this behaviour not only being tolerated, but promoted and disagreement means being tarred and feathered. Society says it's wrong to treat women like they are glass and pander (ex: lose intentionally to flatter their ego, or let them go first, or give them an easier ride), but they will demand that pandering happen when it is convenient to their narrative (because not letting them go first, or not giving them extra help, "is sexist"). I just want this entitled BS and false narratives to stop and for people to decide if they want women on a pedestal or as equals. I favour as equals. But ultimately society makes its own rules, whatever they may be.

  2. Politicians are so out of the loop, and even when they're in the loop they just dance to the tune of the running narrative and not reality.
    379
  3. They keep making the strawman argument "they say we agreed to the deal, but just agreeing doesn't mean it was fair". They didn't just agree, they negotiated it AND agreed.

  4. In the land of "checks and balances" I am constantly appalled by the lack of both. Even if they attempted to put in place the mechanism and vote her out at the same time. The only thing they could nullify is the vote her out, the mechanism should still be preserved. All of this is absolutely disgusting.

  5. I can't believe the Judge couldn't be bothered to hold her in contempt. just looks like no one is willing to uphold the law and hold her accountable.
    25
  6. I am surprised they didn't let them score more, people still are always like, "treat the eomen equally", then after "don't play so hard it's disrespectful".

  7. I certainly hope they are being charged criminally and frist the IRS claws back misused nonprofit funds.

  8. It probably works for some product only purchased by a certain kind of folk, maybe some activist charities. But for everyday things? Bad idea to antagonize half (or more) of their clients.
    22
  9. It's all about the narrative and how little specific knowledge of a reported issue the general public has.
    20
  10. Corruption is undoubtedly much broader than we see. They need to comb through complaints and take a closer look at these folks.
    19
  11. Maybe this will make him more self-aware. lol "what if I sound this way to people?"
    17
  12. Or... don't take those jobs.
    16
  13. This is what 'privilege' actually looks like (aka over priviledged)
    14
  14. The lies are clearly in the representation, the fact she went to HR is not really the issue she was stressing. They may not have even told her no, but directed her to somewhere or someone who could (that seems most likely, given operating procedures and general helpfulness).
    13
  15. *If you ever wanted proof it wasn't just about havimg the ability to play sports.
    12
  16. I just realized that the trump team could have easily forced this situation knowing they could use this bad PR to regain public support and make him relevant again. PR people are like that.
    12
  17. I think 'refugee camp' is probably what they meant. A "concentration camp" is very unlikely to be accurate. But if it was like an internment camp rather than either then frankly I am surprised at how well the government has managed to put them up. ...But then again the lady also said "simulate into our society" so... maybe it was simply misspoken.
    12
  18. "of the child" right.
    12
  19. In many cases it wasn't even revenge some people sought. Social credit, jobs, fame, to feel powerful, grudges...
    11
  20. That's the problem with this 'undefined' "definition" system they want to go with. It can't be both exclusively self-defined, and defined by others. Now that push comes to shove suddenly they get to choose what someone else is. It is hypocrisy. Things need common definitions or else they literally have no meaning.
    11
  21. That would line up with 'typical sports celebrity'.
    11
  22. 'based on a true story' we should always know that just means the film is still fiction. it's like, "inspired by".
    11
  23. Schools tend to attract these kinds of people.
    11
  24. "Embattled"? They can't just say, 'inept', or 'fraudster', or 'embezzler' something more representative of her misdeeds?
    11
  25. There should always be a discussion/consideration for a good decision to be made. But the evidence is overwhelming here.
    10
  26. Even before these videos started popping up, I did my best to avoid looking at anyone. But I realized I have a right to exist and see things around. I still try not to some extent though... Like dude in video staring at the ground. I have had women walk up infront of my machine (the one I am using) for no reason and bending over or doing weird exercises.

  27.  @ImGoingSupersonic  No they do, they just feel it should be ignored for some illogical reason.

  28. I don't approve of censorship, but companies have to be free to fire him. He is paid to represent them.

  29. If the courts aren't unbiased enough it needs restructuring.

  30. I assume you feel similarly about Trump. I mean... Apples to apples. (Probably most politicians for that matter) But at the very least you are right, she seems to come across that way.
    9
  31. Well for one we all know airlines need more leg room (esp. united) and wider seats. But beyond that, better health care, encouraging activity, and discouraging obesity makes more sense than treating symptoms of larger issues. (pun not intended)

  32. I much prefer not having to complain, but here we are watching 'role models' do something disgraceful...

  33. Let's be honest films that try to sell check boxes rather than quality aren't likely to do well. Keeping flash does seem weird, but they also kept heard so they are consistent in their policies at least. Now if Bat Girl ready to go and wouldn't tarnish the brand and/or lose attendance for the main line films, might as well release it even if it isn't great. But As Disney demonstrated, you can tarnish a brand pretty quickly. (Then lose money on every subsequent film).
    8
  34. That would make an amusing satirical commercial.

  35. ​ @toniberman6079 and it is especially suitable as there is no H in Republican either.

  36. If the phrase isn't in a list of things you can't say on national TV, or in their policies, it would be hard to show her conduct was inappropriate enough to justify dismissal. I am certain the company is going to lose viewers though.
    7
  37. It's always seemed hypocritical as a movement, because it isn't about the lives like they claim, it's about the narrative/context. People aptly pointed out for years, they aren't helping out with poverty, malaria, war, education, in Africa. They even ignored that many of their protests (directly and indirectly) caused the deaths of the same people they are claiming to believe matter. Because the movement's steam and the funds were more important to them than the lives of individuals. Any movement 'for life' that doesn't prioritize lives is never going to accomplish its stated goal.
    7
  38. Yet again, there should be systems in place where actions like this trigger investigation and prevent abuses of power from continuing.
    7
  39. The people who didn't want to strive, and friends, etc.
    7
  40. "Any gender is allowed to be defined by the individual" except women who disagree with them.
    7
  41. If she declares bankruptcy, does she still get her award while escaping her penalty?
    7
  42. Though were that done they could then argue something else and pan it as discrimination. These days it doesn't even matter if someone proposes two competing arguments if the root is discrimination people will ignore the hypocrisy and support what they feel they are expected to. ...Which to me is indicative that malicious discrimination (because people forget it exists in other forms and as a term is used in other contexts) is likey not as widespread as some advertise (or rather that it may be indiscriminately descriminate, hurting individuals but at comparable rates across groupings)
    7
  43. Right because she was a bully and excpected him to continue to be reclusive and tolerant.

  44. People have a short memory. They'll probably be fine. Remember when everyone attacked them for not supporting the "Trump Victory"? Everyone said they'd never watch Fox again. But slowly they came back.
    6
  45. It's like the kind of childish greed you would get out of an unruly middle school student.
    6
  46. Absolutely, this is at minimum firing and disbarment.
    6
  47. It was hard enough for men to have sexism cases taken seriously 15 years ago, imagine how hard it would be now. Merely raising the question would have you branded a misogynist by the media and then an angry mob would harass your friends family and employer until they succeed or get distracted by something else.
    6
  48.  @spedkaone  He was before he started letting his biases go a little too far. Then he just continued with it. like, why would you say "this isn't good" The "good guys" were literally criminals and one was armed with a gun. Which is the point of contention for Kyle in the first place.
    6
  49. I always hope it's fake because fake is the lesser of two evils. Not that either should be tolerated.
    6
  50. They're also basically saying the old, "this kind of person couldn't possibly commit a crime like this". Which, in itself is dangerous for society, but also... For all we know, at this moment, the person may have done this because the community rejected them?
    6
  51. Wouldn't that immediately nullify any stated issue as they have "agreed" to it twice.
    5
  52. ... You don't take reciepts to the bank. They will look at you be very curiously if you do.
    5
  53. "You're not going to tell me who?" I didn't really want to call out anyone specifically, more just attack the entire family. I guess I should think of someone to attack if pressed. Who would be easiest? Who do I dislike most?
    5
  54. Oh yeah, "they just put me over a beat" That's why you were dancing?
    5
  55. But that is evidence we created hypersensitivity to a word, as with many other words. But we should never give so much power to a single word, especially if we don't like it.
    5
  56. Many don't even have ancestors who were enslaved in the US.
    5
  57. It's definitely weird, I wonder if they'll ask her about it on the stand.
    5
  58. I don't know if either of them are truthful...

  59. To be fair, just because you think you may have been immature or a foolish at 12, doesn't mean everyone is. But the age is poorly selected, based on assumed averages for puberty (I was starting to grow facial hair at 11, A guy in the grade above me was already 2 feet taller than everyone else his age a couple years earlier). But, they don't want to take things on an individual basis as it weekens their position. Still, while some kids may be able to make good decisions, doesn't mean everyone is, and if everyone can't make a good decision a blanket permission is ridiculous. Plus they would then have to acknowledge things they don't want to, perhaps about common traits among those pursuing this course. Or if the people have a tendency to change their minds down the road.

  60. Maybe "princess" Meghan. lol
    5
  61. or just defend reality against delusions.
    5
  62. 'equity' is just a semantical non-argument, invented based on impressions misinformed by images shared on social media made by some no-nothing like-hounds. Equity by definition is "fair and just" not just equal. Which is what these pay laws were based on originally. The soccer players are chasing what is not 'fair' or 'just', simply unequal.
    5
  63. Certain folks are also trying to force that tiny fraction to become bigger.
    5
  64. We may be considered antiquated or not 'up with the times', but this is the mindset the world will inevitably swing back to in the long run. Because you can't achieve unity or equal rights by segregating people and communication (or denying cultural exchange).
    5
  65. Yeah, Jaden's support is more likely to make me reconsider the opposition of something I already supported.

  69. Prince Harry didn't walk up an slap him right? (That still pisses me off).

  70. So far it sounds like the statements were not blatantly false, but maybe there were no packages coming or going? I have more issues with how it was handled, based on your previous breakdown.
    4
  71. The claim is for attempts, which does not mutually exclusive with it being secure. But Nate thinks there is nothing to the case anyway.
    4
  72. For one, a man alleging this previously would have been even harder to claim. But also, theoretically the movement made people question things they hadn't previously (after having forgotten all the context that made it without malice). Still, these are important questions you must consider in every case. We don't ultimately know if the accusers motives were genuine.

  73. *Or party

  74. yeah

  75. They should say, "Here is the offer. If you don't want it, find a new job" There are plenty of women, who would love the opportunity. Likely some with more skill.

  76. What I want is the YouTube Creators to Re-make YouTube.

  77. Exactly, we should be making words less powerful rather than going out there and making people afraid of even hinting at a word.

  78. Knowing the arguments caused by the failings of text based communications, I wouldn't be surprised. lol

  79. If you knew someone self-interested, someone extremely manipulative who tries to conspire and turn your kid against your family, then had some success in tearing it down.... Would you call them evil? I would.

  80. Then refusal to comply with the directions of an officer.
    4
  81. For one, it's likely a lot to do with ...whatever the opposite of survivourship bias is. There has long been a lot of corruption. But because their checkboxes are of such a large focus, and they themselves had attention drawn to them, we hear about it and it becomes an issue ontop of everything else. Add to that even less merit based selection...
    4
  82. Honestly, I don't think people should be sharing medical histories of people, and I am pretty sure that's not even legal (here anyway). That said, if what she's saying is true, then where is the defamation? Cardi-B is just saving face. We'll see what happens but honestly, I just wish people's private lives stayed private.
    4
  83. "His blackness?" I just don't think assigning substance to skin colour alone is a good way to assign significance to people, even one's self. Flesh tone is an attribute, you are not an attribute of the greater flesh tone existence. "No, flesh tone is a way of life". Is it? Is everyone of each flesh tone trying to adhere strictly to a stereotype of their flesh tone, like some sort of religious zealots? "That isn't very flesh tone of you" 🤷‍♀️.

  88. That would be nice, but I doubt it. He's probably better off keeping his money.

  89. That's the cost of society fawning over a percieved victim. Bad actors gravitate towards that and then abuse that goodwill, for attention or personal gain. Just as the bad actors do for everything else.

  90. If we're going to be fair about logical fallacies, 50 cent should be contemplating voting for a different Mayor of NY.
    3
  91. "A madman bussed migrants to new york" But you said there is nothing wrong with migrants coming in, and you know they didn't bus all of them. I am all for humane treatment of people, but there is such a thing as too many people to handle. Give people what you can, try tonsolve the root problem, and try to make the situation mutually beneficial and sustainable, but you should not cause a collapse of your own systems in doing so.
    3
  92. That's just how YouTube be.
    3
  93. The whole wage gap is a disgusting fallacy. There are individuals who absolutely get worked over, but they deserve better, and there are other issues that need to be resolved. But the narrative that women are paid less because they earn less is misleading.
    3
  94. The only criticism I have is Oprah not pushing back more. But given the mood at the time she was probably concerned of backlash. But Oprah did push back a little. I don't know if, "not doing enough" is sufficient to throw her under the bus.
    3
  95. I agree that the statement "arrested for" generally misleads people into assuming "caught", or "found guilty of...". The fact they can still note there was a history of allegations, still gets the point across, and in a less prejudicial manner.
    3
  96. Constitutional or no, it is more likely to succeed if it isn't a mandate, people don't like being forced to do things. Just like what happened with masks. Granted in the US there was also a matter of people at the top misinforming people. Anyway mandates for anything health related is going down an unsavory path. Pharma lobbies the government, suddenly all vaccines are mandated. Maybe a president ends up in their pocket and they mandate something especially unsafe. Someday someone(s) in power will think, "If you can justify mandating vaccines, why not other things? Birth control, medicine, surgeries..." People can make arguments for just about anything, we've seen them made even based on false pretenses and always some people will support it.
    3
  97. That could be, but... what is gained from letting people win? ...What is the point in playing them in the first place?

  98. More so than the last peak around 2005.

  99. That happens sometimes, I have noticed. You just have to refresh.

  102. Ok, so I am 2:25 in. As soon as Nate said they both cite the same article and noted the phraseology of the headlines I suspected I knew what they were doing (which is par for the misrepresent the meaning of findings in news handbook). Once he described the study a bit, it was pretty much solidified. I hate the binary US news that almost exclusively takes a snippets and then puts them into a context to imply a conclusion it isn't stating. Regardless of politics, people need the full picture and not click-bait confirmation bias. ~90% of protests (even '93% of equality related protests) is a very very broad scope. So much so, it is irrelevant to one protest or even protest topic within that number. That is, if the purpose is to say that if ~90% are fine, nothing bad happened like was said. What can you do with statistics like that? Comparative analysis of violence rates between protests and based on topic. That could suggest if one is statistically more likely to result in violence. You could also look at protest issue frequency based on severity among the various protests. But it doesn't show that no riots were caused by BLM, or that every BLM protest was a riot.

  105. While the bulk of what she is saying may be true, I would strongly caution people from believing everything on its face. I am getting a strong sense that I should be skeptical of what Samantha is saying (esp. in regard to her child). Something is off.

  106. I just hope Candice Owens (?) doesn't get harassed, attacked, slandered, and bullied out of her career like Cassie Jay. But if the whole thing is a lie, then there should consequences (not mob justice though).

  107. To be fair, not that balanced, but it is at least comprehensive.

  117. It is ridiculous. But also, I don't think a word should ever be given such weight. Still, if you are going to have a rule, make it universal.

  118. What a role model...

  119. Equity is "both fair and just" that's what people actually mean when saying equality. That is how the systems were being designed (granted the US always lags in social change). But these days that word is being misused to actually mean equal (or more than) outcome and not equal opportunity. The 'pay gap' has been proven broadly false, another misrepresentation by hyperbolic 'news' (of course with specific exceptions that need to be addressed). In other words they are arguing things like this deal are equity, when in reality they are objectively, equal outcome or better. For example, something we would take as fair and just is if two people are offered half the apples they pick in a day. If one person slacks off they would get less, and that seems both fair and just. Correct? Now imagine, person A picks one apple, and relaxes in the sun, but by the time person B returns at sundown person A is hungry again and sees a massive pile that person B is taking home. They then demand half of those apples as they both spent the day 'picking apples', if they get them that is equal, but it is neither fair nor just. Now if instead of effort the factor was skill. Say person A&B built widgets for the same amount of time every day. Person A has a lot of practice and can make 300 in a day; person B is new and only managed 50. If they were paid the same that is equal outcome again right? But it's not fair and just (unless society ignorantly decides that equal outcome is fair and just arbitrarily, like altering a definition. Then by assignment it would be regarded that way and fiercely upheld as the 'norm', but it would still remain measurably unreasonable.). Because what it does is make a citizen, by law based on a trait at birth, in a position of objectively greater advantage because if that person tries as hard as the others they will always come out on top (unless by illegal act, like theft, or real discrimination. Which should be litigated). That is exactly the opposite of an egalitarian society and NOT what we desire or had been working for. Regardless of what group benefits from that elevated status.
    3
  120. I mean In my opinion the L is redundant in modern usage so SGBA is probably most appropriate if we are categorizing things. Then for clarification you could have a number of sub categories to group various preferences, and there is a very pragmatic reason for having it. But using that one factor alone to try to define your entire self is ridiculous and unhealthy. As is the whole economy of competitive victimhood we have created.
    3
  121. Shouldn't even paid him. There needs to be actual criminal accountability for politicians abusing the system. These systems need to be automatic, not "oh, we're on the take too so no".
    3
  122. They should have never offered shared winnings (the thing the women's team were just using as part of their pay discrimination fallacy). In theory lower leagues/tiers could make a claim of pay discrimination because of this (especially if there is a successful suit, but they don't necessarily have to because the court of public opinion/media has ruled). They play as hard, they practice as hard, they might even win more often. But it shows people aren't just entitled to their winnings now, they are entitled to a share of all the winnings of those in measureably different circumstances. Hell, if they win a suit it might even justify a person (especially a woman) claiming pay discrimination based on the pay of an individual from another company of a completely different scale. Even if that claimant is the highest paid individual at their own company.
    3
  123. hahaha Nate makes this very entertaining.🤣 The rope and bleach was what made me doubt it, initially. Because it seems like something that would be like what someone would imagine the 'kay kay kay' (YouTube tripwires everywhere) might do 100 years ago. Plus the hats... Although, an assault or hate speech seems probable, this just adds too many steps for impromptu hate fueled harm. It's too much of a trope of what CNN paints as 'the alt right/far right'.

  127. Is this an April fools joke? The fact that people brought back accepting 'blackface' as if any time someone has something on their face is the same context as the initial definition, makes it pretty clear people are hypersensitive.

  128. Laying off an employee or contractor is not the same as cancellation outright. Now if he was targeted in a harassment campaign and fired only because of external pressure and not a blatant violation of contracts, then I would say that is 'cancellation'. (Except in the more literal use of the term, where his contract was cancelled).

  129. Required technically no, but it is certainly a useful tool to maintain society.

  138.  @bigstar75  Was he only laid off because of mob pressure? Or because he violated terms of the contract? If latter, not 'cancellation', regular termination.

  139. I still feel like this was deliberate sabotage.

  140. Calling the cops because of rat poison makes sense. Calling cops because of a soda machine... doesn't. An irate customer who is being verbally abusive and refuses to leave, sure. just verbally abusive? maybe. But if they leave they leave. It wouldn't surprise me if he was poisoned by an immature employee. But hearing he waited that long and his threats to sue... Seems like something he might do. I also suspect he may have planted the rat traps himself. But... they should have video of that.

  141. Without knowing more details, I have to give him credit that at least on camera (here) he sounds like a reasonable and professional individual. That doesn't mean he also does not abuse his authority, or think himself better than others.
    2
  142. Not really on this specific issue, but some crimes definitely have politics. Look at Russia Arresting dissidents... and I guess all laws are inherently political. But I agree that political beliefs don't exempt you from being a criminal. Wealth or status... may in practice prevent you from being charged or convicted (Though not in every case).

  144. While I do not support her beliefs, I don't really like the idea of people being fired for a joke. A pattern of malicious behavior, of course. Ignoring feedback or discipline from the employer, sure. But I don't really know the back ground. I mean someone openly 'supremacist' should not have been hired in the first place in a position with an 'at risk' group. *Yeah her Twitter has a bit more than just a single joke.

  145. I think it's more a problem of enforcement rather than penalty. If most people are let off the hook, the penalty is irrelevant. Conversely, people who commit crimes tend to be ones who ignore consequences.

  148. This should never be regarded as a big deal, at most it's someone being an @$$ and intentionally trying to bother someone. But just like when people call people by the wrong names all the time. Have your parents never accidentally called you the name of a sibling or the family pet? Even before this was a thing people sometimes called eachother the wrong pronoun, sometimes to be rude sometimes by accident. But getting upset about it shows the bothered individual in a poor light, and making it against the law is ridiculous. I don't even think it's worth a 'correction', unless maybe the individual called and complained.

  149. Saying "B.L.M." created a situation where alienating and antagonizing everyone else could not do anything but create push back like "WLM", or "ALM", and I bet that's what they counted on. Because it's pretty easy to look at it and say "race war, look at them trying to stomp you back down". Trouble is most people don't think like the stereotypical '20s, '30s mindset. And so BLM pushed conflating "WLM" with the initial level headed response/agreement that, "All lives matter, and therefore anyone being murdered on the street is completely unacceptable, and any racism that may have lead to this is intolerable and should be prevented". But, either way if anyone (considered a minority) tried to support a caucasian friend during the scapegoating, and anti-caucasian hate/fearmongering. They were traitors worse than 'the oppressors' and they got called some racist pre-civil war sh!t. (Complete hypocrisy for a movement allegedly trying to promote rights and respect of those same groups) I don't know if he just stopped, caring, there was a mental health issue, or he just liked causing a fuss. But he just went all over the map. I can see why people get upset by his views (both mild an extreme) and in that line of work, your rep is what a lot of it is about.

  155. I mean, it on its face is a fair argument: That these days, we like to pretend bad people don't also do good things (no matter their political leaning). It is also fair to say, we should acknowledge these things. It would also be fair to say something pointing out that, not everyone in Germany shared the beliefs of the party. So in that sense not all of them may have been evil (perhaps even most of them). BUT! Saying "I completely support them" is insane. As is, "I love an immoral individual, especially" (which may be an unfair characterization, if he meant in the "god loves all life" sense of "love"). It also, does not mean one good thing necessarily outweighs a bad thing. But one needs to look at history and individuals as a whole, because there is ALWAYS good and bad. Even when the good is a tiny thing. I don't know if it is mental illness, incompetence, uncaring/insensitive/thoughtless wording, drugs, temporary stress, who knows?🤷‍♀ *Apparently he said he was on some sort of medication? If it is true and he is off it that would certainly lend credence to the assertion of mental illness.

  158.  @forrestl5597  The lives of everyone else are not your responsibility. It may be the considerate thing to do, but it is fundamentally different than deliberately/directly causing harm (especially in this case with a low, and falling death rate). Specifically, not vaccinating is not the same as willfully spreading the virus when you knowingly have it. Why? because vaccinated individuals also carry the virus. If the vaccine asserted benefits are true (which has yet to be disproven), not vaccinating only endangers themselves (those who choose not toget the virus). You would have a better argument for mandating distancing, and masks to vaccinates individuals.

  163. Will Smith has made plenty of rude jokes. People chose Chris Rock because rude jokes are what Chris Rock does, be mad at the event not the guy they hired. I have always found roasts in poor taste because it is always at the expense of others, but its what people at those kinds of events want (to bully eachother and laugh). So those people in Hollywood can't just act like "oh no! This time it wasn't ok". No he was not justified, I can understand his stress, but he cannot just hit someone then strut away like he's the 'baddest gangsta on the block'. It is completely unprofessional, and while I have seen/heard a lot of things from him in the last 2 years that have made me disappointed in him. This incident makes me regret holding him in such high regard. We'll see down the road if he can overcome himself and deliver a sincere apology to Chris Rock.

(Whining continues) "Fine" ( parent buys each both item) "no" (child walks over and smacks item 1 out of __'s hand) Or they do C and placates the whining child and ignoring the new disparity.

  173. I don't think his blind shots were reasonable, and pointing his gun at the guy above... Might be, only on reflex (but that he didn't lower his weapon upon seeing he was unarmed, the officer was probably guilty of endangerment there also). Plus the other officer who accidentally fired shots into the apartment above, that's less aggregious, but still pretty unjustifiable. If he really wanted to help, breaking a window and clearing the field of vision... To risk himself but gain an advantageous position or entrance, that's a different story. Blindly firing into a building they should have known the locations of neighbouring rooms, if not the floorplan. He either ignored this, or was ignorant of it.

  174. This is like the classic hammer and nail trope. Except, somone who's job relies upon finding racism now views everything as racism. If in their view anything other than racism cannot exist, every viewpoint must be scrutinized. Including their supposed objective, because if racism is (and has to be) everything, they don't believe it can be solved and won't try. To them, how would they even go about it.

  179. This new concept of equity is 100% false. In this case they are trying for exact equality of result despite inequal circumstances. By definition equity is both fair and just. It is neither fair nor just to provide an equal outcome under differing circumstances. The existing system provides equity by providing equal opportunity, and equal outcome depending upon equal input. It is neither fair nor just to give Tom and Suzy $5 for a full day of picking apples, but Dave and Michelle $5 for just showing up. As far as I am concerned, this rebranding of 'equity' (like all these incorrect/bogus Facebook posts over the last 6 years) is just disinformation.

  184. Where I am, I don't think this would have been justified. The officer is wearing a vest, they have a vehicle between them and the armed individual, they have back up on the way, no shots fired. Do we know if the woman is deaf, or no English? There are civilians everywhere, the situation may still be de-escalated and other officers may use their vehicles to obscure her line of fire and increase public safety before action is taken. The fact a bullet by the officer almost hit a bystander and did hit the bystander's property... suggests lack of due care. 🤷‍♀️ Do I think he's a terrible person? No, not this cop. I just don't think it would fly here. There... it's still a maybe, we'll have to see. I hope he doesn't see jail time though.

  193. How can they say it was an attempted mass shooting and not just a murder, robbery, or hostage situation? (but a crime either way, I am glad no one was killed). Were the spare clips on him or in the truck with the other weapons? He didn't try to shoot people on his way in...

  195. Now on a day to day level I can see how some people struggle with it. The strongest woman may be stronger than the weakest man. ...or many weak men. But that's not a par comparison. If you are trying to compare or prove the existence of inherent differences, you want to control as many variables as possible. Would a woman the same height and weight with the same amount of training perform the same? Next question, are the size distributions the same amongst demographics?
    2
  196. Look, no matter where you land this was a tragedy, fluke no, but unfortunate at every angle. From this part of the world, every time we see an American cop pull out a gun immediately, we aren't surprised "mr. cowboy" shoots someone (that is the common term). Now, by the laws of the state it seems lawful and may not have even been intentional. But here, you don't pull out a gun for shoplifting, you don't do assault with a deadly weapon to get someone out of the car, you talk to people. You maybe smash a window and drag them out if they are excessively beligerant. The police would have first blocked her departure with a squad car, before the confrontation. Things are just handled very differently start to finish. We have very few police shootings and even fewer police deaths. There's a time and a place, grab the plate, follow her home, wait for her to return and have handcuffs waiting outside the store whatever the protocol may be. When you waggle a gun in someone's face they are likely to be shot, not just if they don't comply. Now, again, assuming she had stolen something she shouldn't have tried to drive through the officer. But this anti-police rhetoric is creating these situations. People get told not to cooperate, and I can barely blame them for wanting to run when they think all cops are racist murderers. But If the cop fell wrong he could have died been crippled, who knows. So he has a right to self defense. Could he have gotten out of the way, yes. But the law of the land is the only authority in a civilized society.

  200. Probably just mad at the kids (and are abusers on a good day). I don't get why it is being taped though... Look, kids and people should be frightened sometimes it's healthy and makes people want to live. But... a spook is a bit different than persistently screaming at kids while wearing a mask. People wore those same masks when I was young. the odd one might lose it but... all of them? I still feel like it was an intimidation tactic. I don't like the precedent this suggests (,it may already exist), kids scare easily if you made a loud noise (on purpose, but didn't expect the outcome. Like vacuuming) You would risk a lot if the accusation is made. What about haunted houses, would you get sued just for scaring someone?

  201. Ok, in regard to their arguments. Their concept of multiple genders as argued is self-contradicting. They are saying sex (or traditional gender) does not accurately define a person, which I agree it is a single component to a larger individual identity. HOWEVER, they are in the same breath also defining gender as something that does exactly that, and these new genders are so explicit as to define themselves with more weight than gender had been given ever before and runs completely contrary to 'escaping traditional gender roles'. Like the recent neo-segregationist movements (found rooted in CRT and identity politics), these are regressive and work against their claimed goals (of pursuing mutual respect and equality) as an inherent result focusing on extreme differentiation.

  204. If we get right down to it the conclusion, as inconvenient as it becomes, for the ethical standard will inevitably be that upon becoming a genetically separate lifeform, it has rights. Now expressing and limiting the rights is where you get into the mud, especially because the US is a society of individualism and a fetus or zygote is completely dependent. Regardless, as with children they are given no say and therefore require protections (but no protection should be infinite). Just as a father currently has inescapable responsibilities to their offspring. Steps can be taken safely to find an alternate host (or stored while waiting) before a certain stage. Like with anything else, after that stage there should be responsibility for not dealing with the matter in a timely manner (and getting into the situation to begin with, if voluntary). If you don't transfer the pregnancy before doing so becomes a matter of life and death for the unrepresented party, you should have an obligation to deliver it (though not to raise it. A government system should be in place for that). If in the event of a complication, requiring a decision to save one or the other, the default should be that the party with the highest survivability should be saved (unless self-sacrifice was explicitly stated by the party with capacity beforehand). No matter the circumstances of conception the unborn is innocent in this, and its life is inarguably fully affected in the handling of these matters. The arguments against which are equally applicable to a fully dependent infant, the only difference is, we see them and can feel more empathy. Other options exist and whenever they can be done safely then they should be. Inconvenience is never a good excuse for denial of rights. One may have other opinions, and that is fine at the end of the day it is the most popular opinion that gets adopted and not merely my own. But I do seriously believe that this is how things will conclusively be done be it in our lifetime or in another few generations.
    2
  205. One, it is not acceptable to demand people announce their gender, or sex. However, if someone wants to be referred to as something other than what would reasonably assumed, they probably should announce it. Then having been announced, if another party is aware of it and chooses to ignore the preference in identification that would reasonably be considered rude. But not illegal, unless repeated and constituted harassment. The notion that people MUST announce themselves is ridiculous and goes against privacy and anti-descrimination laws. Besides the fact that the individuals they claim to be protecting would be forced to draw (what may be) unwanted attention toward themselves, and the fact that what is assumed may not be correct. Then there are issues with self-defined things under the same words rendering words without communicative meaning and therefore as good as garble, but that's a seperate matter.

  207. A WRITTEN APPOLOGY!? He probably didn't even write that. Even if he did, a written apology does not show sincerity, nor is it what he should be doing as a gesture of reconcilliation. Apologize to the man in person and try to make up for it in some way.

Because it isn't preventative, and because there aren't automatic processes to safeguard things, they are now going to have to fight to claw back the things she put in place.

  220. I agree. Although, (radical opinions aside) anyone making any statement must accept that to some extent as an opinion wil always offend/hurt another. Where to draw the line....? I don't know. For an objective hard line, I think it would be somewhere were several conditions would have to be met. Substantial and lasting harm, knowledge of harm, intent to harm, insignificant benefit. I am not certain he believes his statments actually cause harm. To be fair, I suppose we are acting like his statements are as bad as an order to commit the crimes some of the individuals within the group he 'loves' comitted. In that sense the harm is fairly not to the degree asserted by the media given the general perception of outlandishness. To some extent we are probably having more of a knee-jerk reaction by being caught off guard by such outlandish statements. But as a general policy (my personal belief) we should always do our best not to upset others. That said, most people don't like my approach "being a pushover".

(ex. the father, a grandparent, etc.) If you can think of situations where it shouldn't be done, then 'my body my choice' needs some realistic limitations. But merely pointing out fair concerns gets you blackballed these days.

  234. Her perspective, boiled down is that jokes marginalize people and make them not seen as human. If that is the case, all the times people joke about caucasians, they are committing a hate crime I guess. While I can agree that a widely held perspective could do that; one joke in itself does not. They may have malice, they may get booed. If people want to be upset they can (contrary to popular belief of, I can be upset but you can't). But the response cannot be mob justice, or assault, or anything else so impulsive and archaic. Tolerating (or especially supporting) that behavior, is not good for society.

  235. This is not merely a matter of a misdemeanor he was attempting to disrupt the operation of the government. I don't care who he is, the penalty should be a lot higher and he should be banned from office. First he tried to trip the alarm by opening the door, likely to claim it was an accident. Then clearly pulled the alarm without trying to leave. "Oh he just needed to get through, there was a vote. The vote was outside? So he pulled a fire alarm!?" They must think everyone is stupid.

  236. The fact that she's bent out of shape really reinforces that she wasn't in it for the betterment of women, she was in it for the money. And the fact that Rapinoe(?) is happy despite the faux agreement shoes that Rapinoe(?) was also just in it for the money. She stomped her feat was turned down, went to someone else, stomped some more and got her candy. Now she's happy as a clam until she wants more. But I do think it was just a move of selfishness on the team for their payout at the expense nof whomever is necessary (as is stereotypical for sports teams). They wanted to get a 'win' out of a lost battle and pretend like they are 'heroes' and 'role models'. It was a garbage suit but they also sold out their former teammates. I don't think these players (who support this farse), should be role models to anyone. They are an embarrassment to women everywhere not because one woman is indicative of another, but because they claimed to be the paragons of all women.

  247. Just remember everyone the virus could also have been studied at the lab, post locating it (rather than having been manufactured). That said, no reasonable person can fairly say it isn't AT MINIMUM suspicious that a disease lab's location coincides with the first known instances. The media's ability to effectively label things as mockable 'conspiracy' should be gravely conscerning.

  255. They are undoubtedly arguing that this is oppression because they need to be seen as women in every way. But, there will always be things that don't change. Even sex characteristics aside no amount of surgery would help me escape the fact that I am me and whatever skin suit I happen to wear after my brain has been scooped and put in some other body, is just a manufactured veneer. Unless I also wipe my memory and records so I can be a new person. But then you have effectively killed anything you could define as me, and that is suicide.

They can ban the parent from the grounds, they can sue her, but... this just isn't right to hold the kids accountable. Now if the School is at all publicly funded it is my opinion they should have the same expectations of duty to the child.

  263. I mean, misquoting is a problem (and has been for a long time). But being unprofessional when representing a business has also been a problem lately. *Wait the woman being yelled at was the one misquoted? (Man these unfamiliar and somewhat similar last names get pretty hard to parse when verbally describing a situation, without videos, posts, etc.) Regardless it is unquestionably hypocritical for a school to attack one person for in their minds having a negative opinion about protesters, in the name of supporting political dissent. Granted in their minds everything at the time was hyper sensitive and the instant something wasn't gleeful parroting of views, it was mistakenly assumed to be equivalent to (/painted as) racism. (Ex: It is always possible to oppose the conduct of some protesters, but support the protest topic itself.) But that shoddy mob logic, and mass media instigating, got the better of people. "Not entirely on my side!? You must be the enemy"

  270. It really bothers me what that movement has done to the world. For whatever 'progress' has been made, they have regressed society so much, at the same time. I hope that soon people will go back to seeing one another as people first rather than whatever skintone 'identity' they happen to have. Similarly, it would be nice if Hollywood would go back to letting people just be folks rather than having to align to some trending stereotype.

But if none of the original employees still work there and they don't support those things, the argument is well... prejudiced and unfounded. But If you considering about the things Disney has done recently, that seems like a pretty justifiable boycott.

  295. It's a valid criticism. I appreciate she has become more rational. Actions of a specific nature do not necessarily mean they are an accurate representation of the beliefs of an individual overall. So criticise an action or comment all you want, but your arguments lose strength when you over generalize and you risk being dismissed outright. But if someone does a lot of things that are 'duck' like... There's probably a valif argument to be made that the actions represent the intent.

  296. To be fair, an actual problem recruiters face (that we should deal with) is the false equivalency of experience with skill. Hiring based on skill/knowledge is more valuable than simply having participated but having been the weight dragging the team down.

  309. Note the TONE is completely different here. Look at how Rittenhouse was treated. Maybe because he was a male, maybe because he had a bigger 'scarrier' gun. Maybe because BLM narrative. But this woman shot a guy on a regular old day. And Rittenhouse defended himself against attackers during a riot. But was villified. Plus no r@c3 riots here, the man almost certainly needed medical assistance, at the very least for shock. He wasn't even a criminal (not that you can murder criminals either). Where I live, you don't even have to stay on the scene after an accident so long as you get your photos, exchange information and file your reports (as long as no one died). Yet, the news is speaking gently like she accidentally drove over the neighbour's cat. I am not saying outrage is the way to go, but her conduct was unacceptable. The 'news' is just biased garbage.

Fox 'News' is still garbage CNN, and the rest of the major channels are also still garbage. I give this reporter credit for sticking to the questions, but... Let's see if tomorrow he goes along with it, just because it's someone or something he or the channel supports. Integrity is lacking in the world.

  321. 'Racism Guru' as in spreader of racism? I feel bad for some of the people I know who got defrauded. Their heart was largely in the right place, but they were effectively conned during a stressful period of isolation. George floyd was not even a 'perfect narrative' there are plenty of people, who die under similar circumstances, who were of more 'upstanding' character. But the news just decided to run a misinformation and fear-mongering campaign to incite mistrust and disorder. Just for watch time and ad revenue. Even the news outlets who wanted to argue against it, drummed it up to make it a huge point of contention. If you were going to make the narrative there were far better excamples. Even if they were still going to falsely insert racism (though I bet they could have found one that was actually a case of police brutality and racism).

It's not though, genetically men will have a physically different structure due to their genes even if given hormone therapy from birth (which would be scientifically unethical, the health repercussions are terrible even if 'naturally occurring' due to a disease causinghormone imbalance. It's like trying to splice a human with a cat, or trying to replace a heart with a lawnmower engine. Barbaric and unsafe. Even later in life there are big risks and that's the harsh reality they face).

  338. To be fair on one aspect we keep seeing people tout statistics changes from 2020 to now and have used it to misconstrue whatever they are trying to promote or criticize. Meanwhile the are just returning to normal or resulting from the fallout of the pandemic and economic conditions. The thing we should be focusing on is comparing pre 2020 numbers with current numbers to get a more acurate perspective. Still an increase in many crimes here. But remember a couple years ago governments were talking about 'unprecedented job growth'... when it was just job recovery, and only partial because we have seen more of the big picture now (and it's not pretty).

  340. It's obviously not entirely nonsense, but whether or not they can evade the statute of limitations or fulfill the burdens of the crimes, let alone get a conviction, is obviously another story. The broader issue this raises, is how laws should be changed to prevent any actual unconvicted criminals from taking office to evade trial, and to hold politicians better accountable for committing crimes. If the president robbed a bank while in office, or committed provable SA, etc. you should be able to arrest the person. Like if Biden committed massive fraud and stole federal pensions. Because as of right now it seems like the president can do no wrong while in office. Pillage, plunder, murder, genocide, identity theft, insider trading, they have free reign while in office. While a person elected president might be expected to be upstanding, history shows very bad people can be elected. Countries need better precautions in the event heads of state start committing real crime.

  347. I don't know, as an external party it appears as though Trump attempted or did a lot of highly improper conduct and the system of checks and balances failed. Then the following presidency just reinforced that the government is corrupt and has insufficient accountability.
    1
  348. I had never heard the full tape before. Only the last bit. All politicians should be held appropriately accountable with due process. But just because we let it slide before doesn't mean we shouldn't now. That excuse can be used indefinitely, at some point you need to take a stand. Inconvenient or not. Then continue to take a stand every subsequent time. Once you take the move the first time, then you have more justification for ANY subsequent attempt.

  349. They didn't just think that it's just for women they said as much and berated otherwise. (I know first hand) I also know they refused to accept criticism as I pointed out that by equating all harassment and assault equally (including someone literally saying "hello" was harassment) victims of major instances may feel minimized and drown out.

  355. So, while I assume your assessment under the law is likely correct, I would not be able to agree about the comparison you make for 2 reasons. 1. In your example, there is no realistic possibility of the gun being real, loaded, and with a round chambered. Where as, in this case she knew she had both a gun and a taser. The risk of drawing the wrong one was always there. Further, she has a duty to take the care needed to avoid such mistakes. 2. She intended to use potentially deadly force which is a reality with both rather than absolutely no intent to harm (or possibility of death). Granted the differences in risk of death are substantially different between a taser and pistol. Now, you have also said, that would be justified by the law in this case also. In that case merely unintentionally grabbing the wrong one is the only wrong doing and doesn't change that the more severe action is justified. I don't suspect she got a lighter sentence than the other police officer because of race. Most likely it was because of the significant contextual differences. However, if there was bias, it would be more probable that it be based on the fact she was a woman (which is supposedly a thing that happens often). I think we need to be training officers and changing procedures to better handle situations (in a way that reduces risk of mistakes and the necessity of shooting suspects). Not only for the sake of the public, suspects, and criminals, but obviously for officers as well. Even if they don't get punished, no one wants to have a situation like Al Powell.

  362. He gets arrested but she is not just a teacher but also a parent and somehow blame is on him. In theory the whole prerext in the US is that it's an unsafe environment and there is a power difference. Again, in theory parental oversight would negate that. If people can be charged as adults for crimes the ability to be deemed as having capacity should also be permissible based on the context. Now, I still think the teacher is completely unprofessional and the law as it stands in that country is the law. But they definitely have gender bias when it comes to sentencing. Wow 8th as well? ...And these are just the ones we hear about.

But even if the most dispicable person I know won an award legitimately, they deserve the reward. But even if one of my best friends won an award illegitimately, that's NOT something I could be happy about. I think it would be battery and assault, the comments are clearly threatening in nature even though an exact threat was not explicitly stated, more harm was threatened.

  379. "I want to us to help people, but I don't want to help people" If you are going to take in migrants there is a good way of doing it that helps everyone. You process them all at the border. You prioritize sending them places with a labour shortage. You give them the tools to succeed. You have every city and town commit to taking a small number so it is more manageable (like dissolving 40kg of sugar in a lake). Then you have them pay back their initial burden to the respective community over time (maybe it's just by taxes, maybe it's by volunteer service, maybe it's a manageable long term loan).

  381. The reaction of the one young guy "it doesn't matter" makes me suspect the guy actually did rent the bike, and in typical fashion someone averse to conflict was trying to have him just cave. But this is a video, we weren't there it is a fairly mundane and insignificant interaction it is stupid that we even heard about it.

  384. Can I just say, it's always hypocrisy. One side points thr finger at the other for doing something wrong (as they should). Then, those same people rush to the excuses when their side does the same. There are times when there is difference in nuance as well, despite false association, but most of the time it's pure hypocrisy. I applaud any of you who stick to moral and ethical consistency no matter if it is 'your side' or 'their side'. But then again, most of you probably don't have a 'side' you support issues on a rational case by case basis.

  386. I have to disagree with the implication near the end of the video, that women are not trained in negotiation but men are. I don't believe either is taught employment negotiation, except perhaps in rare individual cases. But as far as my schools (secondary, post-secondary, or primary) were concerned no student was trained in negotiation let alone for an employment context as part of a curriculum. That said, I believe there exists supplementary resources available, or at minimum available to some minority groups that touch on some of those subjects.

  389. The hypocrisy of the pro-choice people "It's not a child" "Her daughter is dead" I don't mind, people wanting to make things accessible, that's their opinion. I mind them using an argument like it's an unassailable fortress, then turning around and taking the opposite stance, because of convenience.

Make a thing about subletting or maximum occupancy, but if you're renting the space what you do with it (save for damages), should be your own decisions. That's how the law should handle it.

  401. For rheir brand regardless of who they may sell to, the value atatement of their product is that it makes you "sexy" (whether true or not). So they would want to use models that people aspire to be, or view as "sexy". Specifically that as many people as possible view as "sexy". The issue wasn't that diverse customers didn't think the product was appealing before, it was some bleeding heart's 'brilliant idea' to try to force the world to find their appeal. Which may or may not have worked, but for most people, there is no benefit to that approach and it risks pissing off the established customers. But hey, "New Coke whether you like it or not" was successful right!? ...Wait. *Nate ended up brining this up. (Sorry for the redundant comment) But, for the algorithm...

  402. To be fair, the US is like Canada now right? (Where being topless in public is legal) ...Whitehouse event rules may be more stringent (If they banned topless people with masculine chests). Though who is to say that's all the behaviour was limited to.
    1
  403. I couldn't remember if they went ahead or not. Also the event itself regardless of where... But it certainly looks bad to the kind of person they have been pandering too for the last 6-8years. Also the activist ended up commenting on it after I made the comment so it is a bit redundant. Though I don't care for their trying to be excessively sexual then turning around and shouting objectification. (they even said as much. paraphrased: look at me look at my chest, I covered it just in case but I wanted to show it off and celebrate my new gender).

I am interested to know what the findings are, because it's been made an issue. But the personal lives of celebrities and politicians (or their families), I don't particularly care It's why I don't watch TMZ or ET, or Tucker Carlson.

  419. Even the more everyday extremists in the US are happy to threaten and encourage violence. Suddenly a discussion about abortion or equality becomes a threat. Or discussing the flaws of DEI... Then on the other side you have people in the crowd who upon seeing their opponents's actions start making needless threats (assuming all these accounts are genuine).

  431. I think it was probably in part the optics of his skin tone, but also who he is, what his politics have been and most importantly, his popularity. Like, if Wesley Snipes did it, he would be escorted out. If, Chris tucker did it... maybe. I feel it would be far more likely that Chris Tucker mime a slap or punch for comedy sake. But... The point is, If it were a person of less renown and definitely if they were of different political views, I think they would have been handled differently. The fact the agressor was up for an award (possibly already known to be the winner), that undoubtedly played a big role as well.

  433. I don't think any of those three are the best choice for The US, but... based on historical data the person with the most air time wins. Sadly that doesn't say much about a discerning population. If people want the country to get better instead of worse, listen to the quality of the argument not just if they agree with you, or wave for the camera. Plus if you are the sort who care nost about republicans winning and not the specific individual. Side with the center's choice.

  436. Well, I could see why Russians or the 'russian bots' (which may operate at any level of autonomy for all I know) would jump at any opportunity to support chaos. H311 they may even be promoting unpopular opinions which is why we have seen so many popularity upsets by people we long considered foolish (or it could be because they ran from tumbler to twitter, where most others had left, started shouting, then were presumed to be a representative sample of the majority). I digress... I could also See Megan or Bousie... or Amber Heard buying bots. So, I can't really say at this point either way.

  437. If the city apartment is going to be sitting empty anyway... might as well. If it were going to be used for other things, she should be paying rent at least starting now, if not backrent. I don't think she should be in office, but it's up to the people of the city who voted her in in the first place.

  440. So she committed a crime right infront of the police. Frankly an arrest or shooting seems inevitable with that kind of behaviour. (Not that I approve of how it was handled). and, she walked out with the basket once the clerk had their attention, she could have left it and they may not have noticed. Honestly it's almost like she wanted to get caught.

  441. "I love when people are in love". I am not sure the relevance of that to the situation. But while I think it's dumb, self-serving, and inneffective advertising. I agree with the sentiment, hate doesn't seem justified, just don't buy the product. But making a fuss gets views I guess. ...And people do generally complain about brand changes anyway.

  447. @Nate The Lawyer I do think it is unfair to say he is in love with the idea of marriage not her. It's possible you are right, but I think he may love her. But it's hard when people stop trying, or you have years of your partner's misdeeds weighing on you. You get stuck wading in muck, instead of pulling eachother out. They have kids so there is some motivation to stay together because of that. ...And she also maybe doesn't/didn't want to leave because her infidelity likely makes the divorce a total loss financially. Plus the bad press when more of the reality gets out. But you don't get sad about a person's infidelity or their disregard for a committment you value highly, if you don't also care for that person deeply. If he was obsessed or just cared about marriage as a concept it would just be anger at having his pride tread upon. But the man is or was clearly wounded.

  452. Why now, why not whe me too peaked, or before? What changed? Did he suddenly become more successful? Did he do it again and they just now realized (too late) that they should have spoken up sooner? Were they trying to find eachother to share legal burdens? (I think it is passed limitations in UK, no?) Why would Russel be untouchable? He seems like the kind of guy who would be trashy. The drugs, they sudden fame, his attitude... Had I been told this happened 10-15 years ago, I probably would have weighed on 'likely guilty' unless something showed otherwise. Even now I hardly think it is impossible. At the end of the day, even the people who find it highly unlikely, or 'impossible,' would hope people who have been wronged in these ways would get justice. But the question is, were they?
    1
  453. What does that say, "I am going to make a bid, ESPECIALLY if I have to give up my royal title". It seems like she would be showing that she feels she wants/deserves status. ???? It certainly doesn't show much loyalty or regard for either nation or its people(s).

  457. This is what I don't like about hospitals there os very little employee accountability. if someone is slacking off and effectively dehumanizing patients, unless there is a lawsuit, that person probably is never even getting fired. Maybe not even reprimanded. It makes you wonder how often this kind of stuff happens. People need to work with pairs to watch or something. You can guarantee it doesn't just happen with babies. If you have a loved one in the hospital, be verrry mindful, and always question what they are doing and double check what's happening. Maybe the doctor missed reading the medications and a new one is incompatible, maybe the doctor just doesn't believe in a certain illness. Stuff happens, it may nuisance the staff to have that much oversight, but it's someone life and most hospital staff aren't going to care as much about the patient, as you do.

  458. In this footage... Impressively you could maybe argue, But running from people and killing them doesn't make you a hero. Now I can't speak to any other actions of the evening that may have been heroic, I could not speak om, as I do not know of them. Nor what transpired leading up to these things.
    1
  459. Hmmm, these stories are all concerningly different, I feel like the security guard is probably mostly right. That said, he also didn't have a lot of details from where everyone was or came from. Also, the guard would have a motivation to oversell his role to demonstrate his duty.

  462. At home I was told when both parties are drunk they are treated with equal footing and therefore nothing untoward is assumed by default and both can consent (unless aggrivating factors). Or at least that's what it was pre 2016, I don't know if it changed.

  464. Maybe she did all of this to get more coverage (and support).
    1
  465. I have to say (allegations true or not) the idea of hitting someone to hurt them during sex seems so wrong. Just hitting someone because it makes them feel powerful seems wrong by itself. But if both people for whatever reason enjoy it, fine. I just don't want to hear about it. (I don't want to hear other people's sex stories anyway)
    1
  466. As to if the defendant was underpenalized... I don't know. On one hand those kinds of thing can be traumatic, and have lasting effects. On the other hand, if it was a genuine misunderstanding: Having experienced nearly being drowned and suffocated on multiple occasions due to extremely aggressive individuals (who apparently weren't properly socialized as kids), fearing death is not nothing but you weren't killed or permanently injured, your friend should learn not to attack their friends but they are still your friend and it wasn't intended as it resulted. Also, victims often become vengeful and desire even more than an eye for an eye (especially when manipulated by a third party without a complete possibly biased understanding of the situation). So, if the allegations are true and it wasn't a misunderstanding and they continued their behaviour (or this was a repeat offence) more punishment would be suitable to the point that it motivates avoidance of said behaviours. Without the full story though, neither came out of the situation happy, and additional punishment was already applied. I cannot say if it was enough, too much already, or not enough.

  468. I thought he meant only 1-10% are better off than caucasians. Which maybe that is true?? But it's completely different from his earlier stance. I think the guy is just out of it. Maybe it's the devil's lettuce, maybe he's just inarticulate... I don't know but what he is saying is ridiculous regardless.

  486. The war ended 80 years ago, I would point out the whole premise of remembrance day has been to consider the soldiers on both sides (for the last... however many years). Unless the elderly man is currently a NAZI or more implicitly a racist... I don't care. Imagine if soldiers got slammed for remaining a soldier under Trump. (It's a mistake to put him front and center to be sure, but is this an error I care about in the grand scheme of things? no. The moves to make the internet monitored and censored, the other privacy invasions, the economic mismanagement, the schools aggressively pushing trans-genderism or CRT. Those are big issues) Though I can't blame Nate for finding it amusing especially with the accusations of the liberals during the vaccine mandate protests in Ottawa.

  509. Tucker Carlson was garbage and a liability. Don't get me wrong he's not always bad, but he is willing to spread outright falsehoods knowingly and no news program should be like that.

  512. No they can seek remedy for breech of contract, but they cannot sieze property. ESPECIALLY of an unsigned individual. It's pretty much criminal theft at that point right? Besides, I don't know about there, but here the discovery was by unlawful means so I think it is inadmissible in court anyway.

  520. They took down John A. MacDonald in Canada as well, it is ridiculous. They know about it because both the good and the bad is taught. Objective history, not revisionist (in this case). But these people don't just want to destroy art, they effectively want to pretend these people didn't happen. Don't show them, don't talk about them, don't teach them.

They later found the van and later found the partner's body after a few other remote attacks on the highway. But in that case, if I recall correctly it was a string of murders by a random party.

  526. So, just hypothetically if I had just been trans, I could have been a marketing director for Bud light. Because there is no logic beyond self-serving interest in their choice of marketing campaign. Just like the fool they put in charge of that Gillette ad. It's not a well reasoned advertisement, it's a personal statement. Even if you sell some beer for slapping a 'protected class' on a can. That's such a shallow and imitatable approach. People may buy it to film themselves on tiktok, for 'competitive allyship' or whatever it is called, but sales have to be near zero for that to help.

  532. OK reality check Nate. That stat, the past 4 years? What happened in 2020? We need pre-pandemic data. Also they seem to skip mentioning real numbers from either border that way they can sell a sentiment not facts. (Not that it isn't an issue, merely criticizing the perceived scale vs actual scale. You always want an issue to be dealt with adequately, no more, no less. Aggrivating the issue or wasting money to make a show of fixing something while doing nothing just for political points, only makes the country worse.)

This is reality there can be both protests and riots and it doesn't have to be the fault of the people intending to protest peacefully.

But no, full steam ahead from the train of BS coming out of TYT.

Seems like very low factually reporting we have all come to expect from US News. But it's it possible? We have a mayor who allegedly committed burglary, and one who effectively held their city hostage. What there seems to be the most evidence for, is that one or both of her husbands were married so they could get in. Their familial relationship is what I have seen very little on, smoke & mirrors.

  555. To be fair in that on street interview video it showed them asking "do you believe women" not "believe all", or "should we believe all". Which is a completely different question. Of course women should be believed in general. But in the context we are shown "believe all" it should merely be a matter of taking allegations seriously and investigate, not just take it as fact and act on it by presuming guilt of the accused party.

  558. "What system did we create" Well it's not really 'We' there is no 'we'. If you want a system someone else created, who happens to meet her skin tone preference. 'Obamacare' and any of the other systems and programs he oversaw the creation of directly and indirectly. Though I will be the first to say it wasn't just one person, it's never just one person in charge or not. But if your question is what have caucasian americans not been a part of, maybe nothing. But one does not make it inherently racist. Demaning their non-participation is racist, just as it would be for any other group. But that goalpost os going to keep moving and even if the last argument is defeated soundly, she would probably still be obstinate. Probably indignantly rest on, "So now you gonna forget our history? Hmmm!?"

  561. My guess is Gen Z grew up seeing the absurdity at the root (in high schools) where they are questioning authority and taking issue with the flaws of the world at present which they had no legal part in deciding. They were raised with social media and may also have more resistance because of that?? But that's all presuming the reliability of the poll. Plus I know from market research grouping people by 'generation' is one of the most useless groupings. The timing of world changing events don't coincide with our arbitrary time brackets. Different regions adapt, or modernize, at different paces....

  562. Just for the sake of history, the notion of "believe all women" existed before, but it was only really adopted amongst the staunchest of the cult of feminism (which had lost much popularity prior to ~2010. At least in north America) and then the Social Media propaganda began...

  567. "who are you to have an opinion?" is a very common reflexive response to attempt to silence opposition. It in itself isn't even a valid argument, unless you can show that the person's lack of knowledge on a subject is foundational to their specific opinion, and that they do Infact lack sufficient knowledge. In other words trting to win with facts and not identity/privilege.

  568. All the self proclaimed 'feminists' trying to say looking sexy for others is bad and not the point. 🤦‍♀️ People change their appearance for how they want to be perceived by others. I mean, do you put makup on and wear high heels around the house? You may on occasion, but probably not the most common use. I don't know why anyone 'supporting women' would want to push doing things opposite to their own preference. I mean, you see it plain as day with younger crowds. When I was in highschool most people weren't clammering to wear clothes with MORE coverage or be MORE repressed. I doubt that has changed or will change.

  572. No you elect an official under the expectation of professional conduct regardless of their prior manner. He's there to do a job. If you take the stance that anything an elected official does is what the people want, not only is that absurd it is impossible to justify. It's like having a contract with no terms, maybe he eliminates the city or crimes, you can't consent to that. you can't go "ohh he was elected' NO. If you want a refferendum on something to be an exception do that. But once support always support contravenes the very concept of the mechanisms for non-confidence.

Still, all of which is unquestionably a typical issue of excessive coat cutting, along with negligence and ineptitude. Planning was not done for a known eventuality, preparations were not made, priorities were misplaced, and responses were slower and less effective as a result.

  577. Can I also note, the unreliability and biases in internet polls. Every single poll has to be examined for methodology. You don't necessarily have to throw out the results, but if you understand the context you can apply it better. Where was the poll taken? What were the demographics? how trustworthy are the responses? how were the questions written or prefaced? where was it advertised? What was the sample size? Does the results of the poll even line up with the claims of the article in which it is cited. If it was only respondents from a social sciences or liberal arts wing of a university campus, maybe that isn't a representative sample... If it was an international poll, maybe it doesn't apply well to rural Mississippi.

  586. I also don't think employers should have no right to investigate or dictate behaviour outside of work that isn't representing the company, illegal, or contract breach. (For example demanding access to view your social media. It isn't a BFOR. However, harassing a coworker outside of work affects work and is illegal... but only if found guilty) Because if all of these places can dictate your speech on your own time, then what actual freedom do you have? You aren't being compensated for time outside of work. Should they be able to say you can't discuss a union or labour rights violations? (as those have a negative impact on the company's bottom line or PR respectively). What if it were an essential service and you were denied access do to an opinion conflicting with their 'terms of service' or 'community standards'.

I really don't like the fact she played the "shout sexism" card, even though it is to rub it in Disney's face. But I do like that she is suing because people should not be fired for political beliefs. It is against the law in my country, it makes sense to be against the law everywhere. And if we largely keep politics out of work as should be a professional standard, no one's politics would even matter.

Or file an invoice directly. Then all of the remaining money goes to the child upon graduating highschool or turning 18 whichever is sooner.

That logic is a surefire way to make society less free, less equal opportunity, less stable and likely more hateful.

  600. Can I also just say those shows look terrible. Bizarre is one thing (masquerades, carnivals, circuses...), and some people like that. But then flailing about without skill or grace... What is the appeal there? (I am not saying people can't like it, obviously no one has say over that.)

  605. Better to lose money by gaining no revenue on one film than deter anyone from missing two or more subsequent films they would have paid for otherwise. They could still release it straight to streaming/video, for less negative impact. But with all these companies abusing pandemic welfare, it is pretty likey that rumor has merit.
    1
  606. I mean Biden could have just pardoned him like Trump was doing. But either way, I am not a big fan of what would be considered a gross abuse of authority at any other level of office. More accountability is needed and more constraints to inhibit corruption.
    1
  607. I think we fall into the trap of overusing 'racism' the more other people do. Talking about other groups and having opinions on certain aspects of those groups is not racism in itself (as opposed to hatred of a group directed to individuals). Racism is expressly limited to malicious prejudice against another based on their 'race' (which according to biologists and anthropologists isn't even the right term). I am not even convinced we should be conflating culture with race, that act in itself is stereotyping. Don't get me wrong, it's still bigotry and bigotry is a terrible thing. But words need to have specific meanings for the purposes of communication. If we can't even accurately comminicate a problem, how are we supposed to fix it? I don't even know if this is bigotry against another culture, it may just be bigotry against another political group. Then acting on it would just be more malicious discrimination by association (that the media loves).

  615. Are you serious!? These neo-segregationists I swear... I know that people are being dense and fixating right now, but if you care about minorities what about every other minority? You can't value some missing people more than others. Put more resources on finding people, encourage people to help eachother, foster community, build the tools to inform the public and facilitate tips. What are you thinking? Political theater? "Oh I will get re-elected if I am the person who put missing black people on the map". If that's how politicians think these days, fire them all. *Wait, they did it before with other groups! "Feather alert!?" Basically you are saying, "ok people here you go, disregard the ones you don't care about."
    1
  616. Honestly I think the media should be held accountable for constantly trying to create racial tensions and incite anger (misconstruing information in general even). But it's a slippery slope because there are real incidences and they need to be addressed appropriately. I think a policy of involving race only so far as its relevance would be beneficial to egalitarianism. If someone gets arrested for a crime, their colour or gender is not the news, the news is they were arrested. Even if someone files a lawsuit for racism the ethnicities aren't really the question, it's the allegations. Suggesting otherwise would be to assert that criminality is racially dependent, which in itself would be unjustly prejudiced.

  628. If she did it because she was told she could, then the city should swallow the cost. If this is against policy, she should not. As an aside... Out of curiosity, how do you feel about all this discriminatory hiring lately in film and modeling? In our country (post protests) ~80% of ads feature exclusively or primarily people of African descent. You may have heard of similar things with Disney. I am happy to see diversity in roles, it is only right. However, they are not even the largest or second largest visible minority group here (~4% of total according to Wikipedia). Meaning at the very least, those larger groups ARE being discriminated against in favour of 'virtue signalling' the movement 2020 (Let alone, everyone who isn't in the top 2 visible minorities).

  633. I unsubscribed from David Pakman years ago when he refused to objectively differentiate 'cancel culture' as we saw it online (harassment, tortious interference, threats, coersion, mob justice) and boycotts or mere consumer preference. Despite him having experienced it himself in the past. I may still watch a show from him if it comes up he sometimes has good coverage. But when you double down and stand rigidly on a mainstream talking point without even considering the alternative arguments... That's just not the news I want. I want news not rose tinted lenses, not blinders, and certainly not an entirely false reality made up entirely of propaganda.

  637. I maintain this is probably a common occurrence where people attempt to monopolize the electric bikes. I don't think what he hid was ok, and I definitely don't like what the lady does who seems to play victim too hard. The tone and manner irritates me from past experiences. But the situation should never have happened, it should not have been filmed, and we should not have heard about it. I really believe we are long overdue for a common sense expansion of an old law that prohibits publishing news about regular people. You can film or photograph whatever in a public place, but when it focuses on a single individual (who is not a public figure) and you do not have permission. You should not be able to publish that content to the internet and make it widely accessible (unless you blurr it and change their voice to be unrecognizable). People should not have to exist in fear that they are going to become the next viral video. This should have been dealt with the Moment, it started happening.

  638. I don't know the details of this case, maybe he has a history, maybe he had ample opportunity to say, "ease up a little", maybe he didn't care. If there was something to point to his guilt perhaps that time is worth it. But based on the limited details from Nate, 4 years seems like too much. Failing his Due dilligence, kick him off the force. If there was malice, I do think he deserved a meaningful amount of time, perhaps even more. However, I do worry he may just getting excessively penalized for PR or maybe the jury is in fear for their own safety given the volitility stoked by all the news agencies at the time. If there is insufficient evidence for the punishment the justice system, and society has failed him (but if that is the case hopefully he can win an appeal).

  639. *ok,ok, ok, ok. Stop. This trans person is 100% trying to sexualize themselves, (that's like 80% of what those activists do, you see them shaking their butt and trying to attract attention) now they are trying to play the, 'everyone else is sexualizing them' card. Also a tangential gripe, given topless nudity has been legal in my country for years. People pretty much never do it except to try and make it a thrill or a protest. If they themselves didn't think them 'sexualized' or private, they wouldn't find it so thrilling. They wouldn't be taking instagram photos on mountain tops facing away from the camera for 'exhilarating freedom, and empowerment'. They would just be confident and comfortable with walking around shirtless on any old day. crowds, no crowds. (Not that everyone has to be, besides it's considered bad taste for men to go shirtless). Anyway, the whole sexualized/male gaze is a problem but it's at the same time empowerment, is a faff.

  642. It wouldn't surprise me if she actually were married but didn't want to admit it because of perceptions (women under the yolk kind of nonsense). Does she fill out her own forms, or have her staff do it? Not that it ultimately matters. I could see her having asked and getting the wrong answer, and I could see her feeling entitled and ignoring the rule. (But maybe the rule is different when written in more detail, not on the document).

  643. This isn't the first time I have heard of something like this. It just wasn't in the news (that I know of). People forget about their unconscious biases to women, especially those that seem vulnerable. Even if you know they are a terror, part of your brain doesn't want to see them hurt (whether it's sisterhood, or white knighting, or parental protectiveness). That said, if in the trail they got it wrong, absolutely it should not have happened. Like if they were street racing and they try to put all the blame on the survivor (because that happens sometimes).

  654. ...Can you even do that? It seems to nullify the entire notion of a pardon. If so, why didn't they just nullify some of the Trump pardons to peoole who had some pretry damning cases? Personally, I am in favour of justice bring served and pardoning people you know just because you know them seema like an abuse of power. But the mechanism is necessary for instances of, guilt by association, future corruption, retaliation, and people who were caught by a flawed system. Like say you help your elderly neighbour put their garbage out, but some municipality has a stupid law that says no one else can and has absurd penalties... or something. Overbroad, ill-concieved and excessuve laws are everywhere.

  655. Oh... Well, if things are exactly as Trump stated in the tweet, and that's a big 'IF', it is certainly interesting. Though thinking about it slightly more, if a president loses his hands ir is physically disabled, does that mean they can't no longer do their job simply because of physical signing? I am just thinking of something like being unable to declare war after personally being attacked. *Ah so his statement online is again not at its word, and in person he says "I think". Completely different than the flat statement of fact as on "truth social".

What is that in terms of outcome? Say a 100m sprint, what's the difference in times between the competitors? The spread in the top 100 is about 1%. Where would 10% slower put you? It wouldn't, you wouldn't be a competitor. Also, the man wants to pretend he is an 'ally', but just like most of the like minded fools he jumps right into some of the oldest 'gender stereotypes' "man wears a tank top".

  710. I don't mind the concept and have seen it elsewhere, there are strong arguments for it. But a country has foundational laws, and it would have to be changed to be legal. Personally, I think it should be limited to people who are there for over a year (just like transient domestic populations), but if it's just everyone the argument no longer has as many merits. Because it motivates short term benefits at the expense of the long term residents, and you ideally want to capture all current people affected significantly by the governance. If a 3rd of the population in a city are students from elsewhere they are a huge group that can be affected substantially, they should have some representation. But to merely go with anyone in the city resident, brief or not, you would also encourage massive swings in priorities that would not be stable/efficient/productive.

  712. They didn't want to think ahead about the reality or consequences of their new rules. Now they have to live the consequences as it falls apart. If they acknowledge he is different, they lose their standing. If they accept it, the 'women's leagues' will cease to exist and they would be forced to either shuffle it to what is argued for as the practical solutions anyway (but would injure their totalitarian perspective). So it's woman's rights vs trans-priviledges. (Which they try to sweep under the rug to maintain trans support) In practice as we have said, 3 realistic options exist. All people can compete in the male category, and only biological women can compete in the women's Category. We create a new league just for trans people (most pragmatic). Or we conjoin all genders and fragment sports into performance tiers (this is least realistic, because sports is about competing to be the best, lower tiers would be ignored. Practically speaking many sports would end up splitting M/T/F anyway).

  713. Near the end she makes an ok point, if it weren't also self defeating in her own case. Going through the process of making up for past wrongs can make you more considerate of future situations. But, she wasn't being considerate so, she is saying she herself is even less of an authority. The problem with the way society blockades for minority groups is that they do so as an unimpeachable rule. Without consideration of the specific contexts of a situation. Which, like popularity, has a negative effect in general (as a bias), but it also puts those people in a position of perceived indomitability. Which in turn can foster undesirable behaviours (pretentiousness, egocentrism, willful negligence... etc.). And individuals who develop those behaviours end up hurting the perceptions of whatever group they are a part of. (Due to the broader issue of humans being prejudicial).

  714. Well, she put the time, energy and cost into growing a baby. So right there, she is owed the surrogacy fees of the other couple plus a refund. Lost wages... She has no baby as if it no longer exists, what is the price on loss of life? She then has emotional damages that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. Let alone any potential physical damages, over and above what she would have otherwise as a result of being born from people other than herself. I somehow feel like 10 million is not enough, but also given the nature and commonality of pregnancy that 10 million is far too much. I could definitely see punitive damages. For what's fair... I don't know how much she spent but adding the tangible costs in alone it's probably like $500,000 at the very minimum. So anything over $1,000,000 is probably fair.

  715. wtf? isn't it an abuse of power to interfere in a civil lawsuit?

  716. One problem you encounter is everyone on set is apparently allowed to check the gun, meaning both victims also opted out of checking for their own safety. (Especially if the gun passed through her hands). while it doesn't necessarily absolve Alec it would shift some burden to the victim. And all parties probably have arguments that would support or counter that as well. So we will just see how it all shakes out. If Baldwin has persuasive lawyers and the prosecution doesn't, that may be all he needs.

  717. Re-allocating and optimizing is good. But a lot of people were shouting (even not in the US where the relevancy is substantially limited due to context) take away money from the police and in their eyes that's as much as it needs to mean. But in some cases within the police umbrella, more funding would be beneficial to the cause they see themselves supporting. More over, there are many cases where removing funds would be a huge detriment, resulting in more harm in the areas they see as an issue. Where I live it was made clear a long time ago, the Police should never act as a military (at home or abroad). Defunding them would not resolve the objective issues they have. Re-structuring however could. That's really what would have been a more appropriate movement if someone wants to create actual and effective change. However it's not as aggressive to shout en-mass, and therefore less appealing. I just wish people were less hypocritical/self-defeating in their pursuit of change, and that people would in general be more open to and driven to seek objective improvements. Then be capable of re-evaluating those changes to tweak or pursue another change if necessary.

If you had one for each group, if you had different schools for each group, if you had different communities for each group if you have different laws for each group... Do you think they will know you are all a part of a single entity? Do you think they will stand when your own anthem comes aroud or will they sit through all 27 of the others and stand up for their own? Do you think it's easier or harder to relate to people who have no interaction and no common ground?

  727. If we are being objective. Not necessarily, they hypothetically may have done it in protest, believing the rather unsubstantiated narrative that it was done as a hate crime. People are dumb sometimes, especially in heated matters, there is no underestimating stupidity. And there may even be other reasons as well. But, the occurrence certainly does support that presumption, at least until testimony otherwise.

  728. It doesn't make sense to put a trans person on a pedestal, merely for existing. Same for anyone else. If any person's accomplishment is existing, they are not a saint. Have they ever put the oldest person in the world on a can? That may be a world record, but they were merely born before the next oldest person. These pandering moves companies make, those are rarely well recieved. If you look at it another way, they're saying, "look at this trans-person, we care, but buy our products". *woah woah woah woah, It's way worse knowing it was just... (what is the appropriate word for nepotism but for a classification) Cronyism? Sexism?

  735. If they don't have a fair punishment for this, it would probably increase the likelihood of more people following suit. Conversely on a widely discussed trial, I think a punishment would make it more likely to dissuade people from similar conduct. (I am not going to go to the extreme and say "they have to give him the harshest punishment possible, or EVERYONE is going to do it", reality isn't typically that extreme).

  744. I always assumed it fell under Pansexual. Because if they had the surgery, there would be another factor. Because the things that appeal to homosexuals would be no longer present, or would now be present, depending on the transition. But really this is just an extension of an already failed argument. "Do you have to be willing to date a trans-person?" To which the answer, (by natural selection, freedom of choice, preference, 'respecting sexuality') is resoundingly No.

The optimal is doing nothing, but he didn't file charges so this is a much lighter response that is arguably better for everyone. From the video (which may not tell the whole story) the woman who's hand he smacked though was more arguable. In general while it may seem satisfying for a woman to hit a man groping her, and I can't blame them, as far as the law goes it isn't a response we should encourage for their own sakes.

  750. Here's how this should be handled if they want special protections. Canada was dumb and is largely to blame. It should not be illegal as that is absurd to make a mistake that is already regularly occurring trans or otherwise. plus that isn't just a rule of noy making speech but forcibly compelling speech. Then on top of it all, you have the issue of unregulated and limitless genders and pronouns. However, it is reasonable to make a notation under harassment law that regularly and deliberately 'misgendering' someone is considered a form of harassment and/or bullying. Calling a woman or man or a man a woman would have been seen this way by previous conventions and isn't any real stretch. Essentially you are deliberately doing something to bother someone, and that is a problem nearly regardless of what that thing is.

  754. Well Nate I do have to tell you where you are wrong today, but only partially. I have to agree with him that it was out of context because he wasn't confirming the initial assertion that Kamala was for x,y,z initiative as the ad implies. They were speaking in the context of quoting the ad. Now he did agree with the notion that It's not something he wants his money spent on. So if Kamala said that, and they instead took his quote "I don't want mybtax dollars spent on that!", that would be in the right context even if he were speaking in a hypothetical because in that case the hypothetical is true. I don't know what Kamala's actual position is on that, I wasn't paying attention to her campaign.

  755. I don't know if either are particularly objectifying. I think that bar keeps getting lower. Her employer may have treated her like that. But the role is to look nice and present a briefcase, someone has to do it (per the show design). She could wear a suit but that's not particularly glamourous and not fitting with the theme. A woman who chooses to behave like that character isn't exactly objectification either, if we accept that 'slut-shaming' is wrong. Or if you assume a woman has agency which is like the Schrodinger's cat of feminism these days. (Rather, whatever is convenient to the argument being made). But based on her views, yes absolutely, the second role is as bad or worse.

Everyone says they're going to have to be punished. This thing has hurt a lot of people. It's worse than the things they're getting accused of, these poor people. it's a tragedy really.

  762. Society has been echoing the "don't risk a chilling effect" for so long. Pushed by the same cult that often abuses that ease for personal vandettas and to get ahead. I get it is an apalling and emotional thing. But we don't do the "oh no, the chilling effect." for framing people for murder. Objectively, the only way appropriate* punishment 'chills' anything, is to chill those who have less than just intentions. It shows that, if you falsely accuse someone you can be punished, especially if successful. But for you to be punished you would need to be proven guilty. So the chilling effect is... Don't lie.

  763. I am not for private schools, but I know that your kid can hypothetically get a better education there (just because there are hypothetical exceptions). And that is the reality. But private schools are mostly just another barrier to entry for the wealthy. I am not saying they have no right to exist, but private schools typically still get money from the government, tax breaks, etc. I just think that if you are going to create this nook for a wealth based education gateway, especially in the US (where the public education system is on average quite inadequate), then no breaks, and they have to pay for EVERYTHING. It encourages more participation and interest in the public schools, it diverts needed funds to the public schools... etc. It's not a solution (there are a lot of things needing fixing) it is just a better approach. But my ultimate opinion is that we should be funding better digital learning because then you ALWAYS get the best lesson, not just left to chance if you have a bad teacher. You will still need in person classes for some things, but you can drop half the teachers who can't be bothered to take their job seriously anyway.

  767. Everyone is 'controversial', even martin Luther King Jr. apparently. During the BLM protests and resulting riots, BLM supporters were saying all kinds of things to denounce him. Everyone has differing opinions, so someone is always opposed, then or now. Especially every president, as there were always other individuals they personally wanted. If you go down this road, history will be banned.

  771. I mean, legally it might be one way or the other, but I feel like bringing a deadly weapon and escalating the situation rather than a non-lethal but effective deterrent, or not showing up at all is, at least ethically dubious regardless of the outcome.

  772. Ok seeing the video you have to consider the situation. There was an active riot, where people were known to be killed and seriously injured, that alone should be considered an iminate threat. But he chose to be there for 'allegedly' the defense of others. Now he was being chased by a violent mob, several of whom were armed, and there was no way of knowing of the others were also. It doesn't matter if in a split second they were facing a different direction they were still a threat and if he was not aggressive he would have to risk likely harm or death to discover that. After firing his weapon, an angry mob tends to feel even more justified in an attack. The attempt to disarm him after such violence could only be interpreted by a reasonable person in that situation, to be further threat (especially if that weapon would then be used against themself). But regardless, the situation, until resolved was an ongoing threat, if he needed to fire his gun to keep it so that he can prevent being killed by another armed individual. Note he didn't (despite the threat) fire on the person with a blunt instrument, or the man whose hands were in the air. (Also note the photo or convenient still) was of the man in the tan shorts did not drop his weapon or keep his hands up. I don't know if he had fired at him previously, that would be important. He also shot at his arm (perhaps in an intent to disarm, depending on testimony). 17:41 the frame where he is getting behind Rittenhouse, He has regained a firing grip and appears to have his finger on the trigger.

  773. But in my country, merely having a gun out can be considered assault with a deadly weapon, so it makes the situation a bit more convoluted, were the attackers defending themselves? We need more than just the video, we need the prior and preceding events.

  776. I like the idea of a citizen petitioned grand jury assuming the jury is still unbiased, because there are many situations where persuing a lawsuit may be inconvenient to some, but still a valid case. But I would not like to produce a situation where you create a jury of public opinion, and perhaps a prejudiced one through the petitioning process. Especially in cases like this where it is difficult to examine objectively without blurring into emotionality.

  779. ...Having a name and being a pioneer does not inherently mean you deserve all the money. Imagine if I started a business that sold laptops in the 1980s. Do I deserve apple money, just because I did the same sort of work? Maybe even better work in some respects, but it didn't sell. It may be deserving of respect but there are fundamental differences. Are you the absolute best as a pioneer since there are few options to choose from? Is your league attracting an audience, let alone an audience on par with other established brands? It is hard work and I hope they were paid appropriately for their contributions, but that's not what the women's team was arguing for. The women's team wanted money for the current women, playing on the backs of the former women's successes and to some extent the sport's popularity developed from the men's leagues. This is just unsporting greed. It isn't exclusive to women, or soccer, or not the women's team. But the concept that they are freedom fighters is just a load of BS. (Again, not to say the women have never faced any BS they shouldn't have, but in this current issue which is the topic they massively prefaced to build a false pedestal).

Many politicians are, but they either have experience in government or even Trump (regardless of if you dislike him) had some experience with managing organizations. Meghan has experience acting and being subversive. Let alone the conflict of interest between states. Imagine if succession came up, you have the president being the queen of England. Even as it stands, a 'duchess' leading the 'free world'? Right...

  801. Can we just say. It is moronic in this day and age not to require exact square footage numbers? If I wasnt to but a house or rent an apartment, ai want to know exactly what it is I am buying. Measuring tape and basic math that's all it takes. Plus we can probably just take a video or photos and have software calculate it.

  802. This is the problem, as much as "checks and balances" are espoused, politicians of all levels need more accountability to hold them to their duties. Imagine what a president could do, if they really tried to screw over the nation. OR if the Senate collaborated to do the same. In my country the government just closed it's doors so they would get their way by default... None of them can be penalized for that. Relatively speaking these governments are young and were built on the assumption of goodfaith. Time demonstrates calculated changes are needed as new circumstances show up which circumvent the systems as they were intended.

  803. When this first resurfaced with the swimmer, my comment was something like.... The ultimate conclusion will inevitably be either we make a new category for trans athletes, or we break down sports into many performance brackets. But the latter would largely remove the entire competitive aspect, which is the entire appeal. Leaving people again to only want to watch the top tier.

  812. More accountability is needed for politicians. Also, there needs to be automatic processes when a politician breaches their duty.

  818. But Hannity didn't ask about what the current policy is, he asked what Vivek would do. Before making this it would have been nice to have that extra information on what the current policy actually is. Because that's where lies actually get you. Mischaracterization. Here it seems like Vivek is claiming he is being mischaracterized, but he is saying the same thing. He specifically, will not support Taiwan after the US has Semi-conductor independence, only before (current policies or not). Which is consistent with his non-interventionist approach for Ukraine. As for the second quote... I don't know the origin of the quote they were using (assuming your source is accurate). But they are asking about "not giving them preferential treatment" in general and his answer is 'no he didn't say that', not about defending. It could be semantics, but his response was not a good one for addressing the confusion (if that is what it was).

  819. Again, in terms of 'reasonable' where I am from generally a choke hold is a no. Everyone here is well aware of the risk. There are better ways to restrain a person even if they cause more physical harm without risking death. But this isn't there so we'll see. As far as penalty, maybe an obscene amount of community service helping the homeless. But facts may change things and we definitely don't have all of them.

  820. If you cannot define 'woman' you cannot claim to be that, for that does not exist in a way which you can associate. In another way, if the word 'woman' is without meaning then the phrase 'I am a woman' is equally meaningless. "I am a _______." What did that convey to you?
