  1. So this 'documentary' (prop-u-mentary?) is basically what the redpill movie was supposed to be, but didn't end up being.

  2. It disturbs me that one of the most well off people is trying to cash in, off of being a victim. She has the world and only demands more.

  3. US news... why even watch?

  4. These things aren't surprising. Look at the double standards when allegations were levelled at Biden. Many people were complete hypocrites (on both sides). This guy gives me disingenuous vibe during his speel, but I guess time will tell (hopefully). In the mean time, no evidence, no punishment.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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).

  8. By giving the women more money and more benefits they would have broken the equal pay law (if not already). Then owed compensation to the men. Or is the law inherently sexist?

  9. I would hardly adopt all of Sowell's ideas either.

  10. So are they going after BLM also?

  11. I have heard of a few people who have done this (In Canada)

  12. Apparently my comment got hidden by censorship susan. I remember when it just wouldn't post of it didn't like it, then you coult just edit the word that offends them.

  13. Changing your mind is thinking about doing one thing then deciding on another. Lying is promising one outcome then intentionally delivering another.

  14. According to the information presented, assuming it is true. I would say he should not be allowed. Here you can suffer criminal repercussions for falsifying a resume.

  15. 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."

  16. 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.

  17. To be fair, one does not need to follow the traditional path to gain knowledge and experience.

  18. "out performed the men", *in a different context.

  19. Can you cover this Luigi Manglione stuff? Perhaps even if it's just to say there is nothing ignore rumors.

  20.  @emillyyelen5169  Name calling does not present you as mature, and makes it appear as though you cannot compete with logical arguments. I also think Julius demonstrated some pretty flawed arguments)

  21. "Totally unique case" Nope. Sadly

  22. To be fair. If it's severe PTSD I could see not being able to discuss police work. However, I doubt that is real given the circumstances. That said... maybe there is something else truly terrible going on at that police station. I could see either, But suspect the former is far more likely. ...Exceedingly far.

  23. Did you really just say 'safe space'?

  24. One angry person decides it is offensive and everone else just buys in.

  25. I just feel tired.

  26. I bought tape at the hardware store the other day. ...Now I don't think I can associate with it anymore.

  27. It was always supposed to be temporary anyway.

  28. 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).

  30. Some people would rather die than have a simple medical procedure. Politics has become a religion of zealots.

  31. I find it hard to believe they would lose all games (especially if you see these kinds of biases in referees). I suspect woman on average would be at a disadvantage. However the degree, I do not know (I am curious).

  32. I have a feeling the only reason, "He fact checked it" was due to the bad publicity surrounding the matter at the time (trying to cover his own butt against another defamation suit).

  33. 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.

  34. I like the TBTV guy. 👌 I will have to check out his content.

  35. Indeed.

  36. I don't know If I buy, "I didn't speak out because he had a gun" they're attourneys they understand the process. Why would that stop them? Do you think they wouldn't jump on a lawsuit?. Plus half the people in the US have guns. I think they just want to save themselves. Hell, maybe this was they play they discussed for if things went sour.

  37. 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.

  38. 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).

  39. *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.

  41. These people do know crminals aren't just "underpriviledged black folks" right? Also, a rapist or serial killer isn't known to stop because someone asked nicely. ...Or acknowledged their victimhood.

  42. 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).

  43. 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).

  44. 15 years ago more of us knew that focusing on 'race' only perpetuates racism.

  45. 2 things. One we need to crack down on price gouging more. Two, we need to be better at pursuing theft.

  46. My opinion has always been that all bathroom/shower stalls should be private (and more private). and no one should be forced to change infront of others. Then people don't have to be hypocritical pretending homosexuality doesn't exist, or worry about whatever. Etc.

  47. They are all biased and not just a little... disgustingly so. The very direction of the interview is evidence of that conclusion.

  48. It sounds pretty cut and dry, but I hear Disney likes to olay dirty pool... so who knows.

  49.  @NickM_FirstofHisName  I don't know, the people who 'white knight' the most these days aren't the old fashioned men, its the guys who will claim to be modern (in other language). I suspect they are just doing what is expected of them within this false narrative.

  50. Preying upon the certain impressionable students. They aren't doctors, they aren't psychologists, they should be sued for practicing medicine without a license, amongst other things.
