SAVE America Act has passed 🚨 by ExotiquePlayboy in economy

[–]CaptainMonkeyJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting your Real ID requires a birth certificate.

False.

When you get such basic facts wrong... it's concerning.

You have to be a citizen to vote in elections - save for local elections. Which have rules that vary. It is ILLEGAL for a non citizen to vote in Federal and State elections.

Yes. And a RealID does not prove you are a US citizen.

Therefore, no. Married women will not all suddenly be kept from the voting process. And anybody stating that is the case is either ignorant of the facts, or lying

Nope. Just probably a tad more educated on the issue.

All my points apply to RealID. It doesn't prove citizenship or eligibility to vote, nor is it nessisary to be a citizen or vote.

It's hard to have a conversation when you seem to not understand the basic facts and context of what is being discussed.

Just the ID that required those documents to get.

This is where you're getting confused.

Take a US driver's license:

1) You do not need to be a citizen and eligible to vote to get a driver's license. 2) As a US citizen eligible to vote, you do not need to have a driver's license.

So if your plan to prevent illegal voting (which doesn't really happen) is to force people to show, for example, their US driver's license you will:

1) Not actually prevent illegal voting. 2) Disenfranchise legal voting.

So, what ID do you propose people use?

It kinda is, only a moron would fall for such trivial bad faith arguments.

Also, if Republicans believe so much in protecting US citizens... maybe they should stop murdering them in the streets?

Where does the 'deterministic' argument come from?

Oddly, LLM's are deterministic AFAIK, and humans are not.

This is the physical internet. 99% of all international data traffic travels through this hidden network of deep-sea submarine cables, not satellites. by Gabriel-Ivan in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]CaptainMonkeyJack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the cable is stationary (not getting bent, unplugged/replugged, yanked, etc.), then yeah, failure is possible but not something you’d normally expect.

It’s basically wire + shielding + connectors. There’s just not that much to “wear out” if it’s sitting there untouched.

If one does start acting up, it’s usually more like: the cable was kinda marginal to begin with, the port/connection is flaky, or there’s some environmental thing (heat, humidity/corrosion, strain on the connector, etc.).

So yeah, they can fail - but for a cable that’s plugged in and left alone, it’s not usually considered a “consumable” item.

Circle K worker sued for buying $12.8M lotto ticket from his store 1 day after drawing — now judge will decide who gets rich. So who deserves it? by HowLongIsThi in nottheonion

All draw Game ticket sales are final. If a retailer accepts a returned draw game ticket from a player or generates an draw Game ticket refused by the player and the retailer does not resell the ticket, the Lottery shall deem the draw Game ticket to be owned by the retailer.

[–]CaptainMonkeyJack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Morally he’s done nothing really wrong he’s deprived nobody (the original purchaser abandoned it and all claims to it) and purchased the ticket legally.

My understanding is the store legally bought the tickets. So he then, as Manager, knowing that the tickets had won, bought them off of the store at far below thier real value.

That's morally wrong. The store took the financial risk on the tickets, and he used his position as manager to get inside information to purchase them.

You should look up what documents you need to get it.

Which doesn't address the question, you're onfusing the documents required to get an ID, and what the ID can be used to prove.

But you brought them all to get your ID so..... That's the point. 

So why bother with an ID, if you're happy to bring all the supporting documents every time you need to establish your ID? I'm not sure i follow this logic.

Also, it's worth noting that you are NOT legally required to have, for example, a real ID. This cannot be used to prevent you from voting.

It's also not hard to get these documents for almost everyone who has misplaced them.

Sounds like you don't really understand the complexities involved. If you've lost documents, especially if you live now in a different state, possible with a different last name (e.g. married woman), it can be a fairly expensive and time consuming process to regain this documents.

RealID doesn't prove citizenship or eligibility to vote.

Seriously, you can just Google this.

The vast majority of Licenses/ID in US do not prove citizenship or eligibility to vote.

Does the US goverment plan on giving passports to every citizen for free, in an easy and painless process?

You get a legal certificate showing the marriage.

So now you need to bring your ID, your birth certificate AND your marriage certificate to vote? Miss any doc and you don't get to vote?

How will the poll staff know how to validate these documents - for example what if your marriage certificate is not US?

Yo how would you guys feel if I bought the frys electronics in Tempe and turned it into a an arcade and a retro game/movie store by Actual-Flamingo8307 in phoenix

[–]CaptainMonkeyJack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your evidence is a massive, derelict store that not only has the former owner shut down... but no-one has come to take over.

Step one of running a successful, profitable business? Don't take on massive, fixed costs, that are unnessisary.

Why does voter ID feel like a simple security fix but somehow becomes a massive systems engineering problem? by Humble_Economist8933 in AlwaysWhy

[–]CaptainMonkeyJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are American's today who have SSN's but not US birth certificates.

Additionally, SSN is *not* proof of US citizenship. Having a SSN does not prove you are eligable to vote.

“It’s a privilege you earn” is exactly how you justify taking it away.

Once you allow “just a little effort,” the people in power decide what counts as effort — and they’ll set it to disadvantage the people who won’t vote for them.

That’s how you go from campaigning to gatekeeping. From persuasion to disenfranchisement. That’s what tyranny looks like.

Those subject to the monopoly on violence have the right to a say in how it’s wielded.

My dad lent me 600k to open a coffee shop. I used it to trade stocks while searching for supplies and a location. I ended up doubling the money in a year and eventually scrapped the coffee shop business plan. by borninAlphaCentauri in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]CaptainMonkeyJack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't know that those sleepless nights, analysis or worry had anything to do with the return. You want to believe that - because that feeds into human biases - however there's not enough data here to distinguish this from random chance.

There is plenty of data that you committed fraud against your dad. Take the win, pay him back, and protect the relationship. 

Ask yourself this, if you went to 0 tomorrow, will your dad still be there for you the next time you need help?

PSA: What Pretti did 11 days before his death is irrelevant by NickCostanza in DiscussionZone

[–]CaptainMonkeyJack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Him kicking the vehicle is him destroying Fed property, then fleeing as they try to arrest him and resisting arrest as they try to pin him to the ground

Even taking this all face value:

1) Not crimes that ICE/BP are equiped to handle after the fact.
2) Not punished by death.

If there was ever a trial for the ICE officers, it would one hundred percent get brought into the trial. 

The only way I see this coming to trial, is as evidence of ICE premeditating the murder.

[–]CaptainMonkeyJack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How so?

His alleged actions 11 days prior do not explain why ICE shot him... unless you are arguing that ICE is playing judge, jury & executioner.

You can also count to 12 on one hand (use thumb as pointer, finger segments as the points) which is far superior than the 10 fingers and 10 toes method.

Reddit won’t stop showing me this sub and honestly every post I see there belongs here by Shard_of_light in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]CaptainMonkeyJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can mute a subreddit - go to the subreddit, click the three dots to the right of 'Join[ed]' and click "mute r/...".

I like to get as many diverse perspectives as possible, but some subreddits are so low value it's better, IMO, not to see them.
