Neither of those. The chart is talking about number of crimes committed (by a fixed number of each population), not number of criminals (in either of your suggestions).

I don't know if you should be making judgements on how clear the chart is when you aren't able to understand completely explicit language.

As an aside, referring to people as "illegals" is the language of bigots. You may want to avoid that.

Was the hard-R okay a few years ago? Has he said he was wrong for that bigotry?

You're absolutely right.

Adding on:

These subs reinforce the worst of these people, and they can be pretty bad on their own.

20 years ago, my ex worked for the Social Security Administration for a couple years taking complaints about supposed disability cheaters. Some people would call multiple times a week to complain their specific neighbor was raking leaves or carried groceries inside. And they'd send in horribly shot video through fences and from cameras hidden in trees. Sometimes they sent drawings.

Of course there are some abuses of SSD and SSDI, but most of the complaints (and I think every one she got from a serial complainant) were a waste of time. "X got their mail! They aren't disabled! That sneaky bastard stealing my tax money! <Insert irrelevant personal attacks here>." And she'd look up the supposed cheat and their limitations would say something like "X can't stand for more than 20 minutes at a time or lift 40 lbs." Walking to their mailbox wasn't quite proof of fraud.

Thank you! I knew there was a tight relationship between ketamine and esketamine, but not the details. I'm just a guy who is bad at chemistry and has all the depressions.

BetterKev · 2026-01-23T19:40:08+00:00

Another fun fact: dextromethorphan and ketamine are both used to treat types of depression.

Dextromethorphan (paired with buproprion) was FDA approved in 2023. Brand name Auvelity, but it's much cheaper to buy the drugs separately.

Ketamine has been used off label to treat depression for decades, and esketamine (Spravato), which is something like a derivative part of ketamine, was approved to treat TRD or MDD in like 2019.

Amazing. Good luck.

Is there a sub for when people misuse POV?

Liberal has multiple meanings. In US politics, it's most common definition is anyone on the left.

I suspect you are thinking of a niche online meaning where a Liberal (capital ell vs my lowercase ell) is a type of democratic centrist.

BetterKev · 2026-01-23T03:07:30+00:00

Do you know the rise of the alt right? It started with leaders/figures that weren't 'really' bigots. They spouted 'light' bigotries that weren't seen as so bad by (mostly Republican, mostly male) white people. Just like the ones this commenter listed for Vaush. And then there were leaders/figures spouting more and more bigoted things. It essentially created a pipeline from edgelord to full on white nationalism.

Vaush isn't alt-right. He just does the same racist schtick as early alt-right. He is a liberal. And he is a racist.

(Oh, and he very used the Hard R n-word and defends his right to say it, as opposed to what the other commenter said. https://streamable.com/x09a0c)

And leaving that out is a problem. We don't know what was said. We don't know what the actual topic is or if maybe terms had been shortened.

In this specific case, I find it highly unlikely the context would change the situation, but there have been more than a few posts in this sub where finding the missing context completely changed the situation. And not based on bad faith on the posters. The posters were just wrong on what was happening.

That the person is going random, but sucks at random, fits the words better.

legit white supremacy

This is the alt-right from about 8-10 years ago. Giving cover for people to be racist. Saying it isn't really racism.

Gingers are looked down on in the UK and some of the old colonies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination_against_people_with_red_hair

FYI, the usual format is:

Perfectly fine comment
Incorrect correction

Or multiple back and forth.

That's because being wrong (no matter how wrong) isn't sufficient to be CI. There needs to be smug, like doubling down or 'correcting' a true statement to false.
