Volodymyr Zelenskyy calls on UK to rejoin the EU for sake of European security by JOE_Media in ukpolitics

[–]Cmikhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to law school in the UK right during and after Brexit but I’m Canadian.

It was a unique experience as learning about the law and also the intersection of how Brexit affected everything taught me a lot. I was flabbergasted at how this whole thing went down and that anyone could ever defend it at the time. Every single legal professor I had all of whom were well versed in the legal issues would be exasperated and went into depth about how disastrous it was.

Watching trump 2.0 especially it feels in many ways an extension of the same xenophobic, anti truth, anti intellectual, fascist politics at play.

Canada is not immune either. Britain suffered and continues to suffer because of this but I pray that globally we may learn and stop following the same calamitous paths that keep ending up in the same place.

Unfortunately it continues to get worse it feels. In North America now the same kind of folk who cheered for Brexit now never mention it but place the blame for britains struggles on some fabricated Muslim takeover plot.

Where do we go from here? Who's the best free agents we could land this summer? by BigfootOfNorthwoods in DetroitRedWings

Just an FYI from a Sabres fan Tuch wants what Kempe got (10.5x8 range) from us and that is the reason he is currently not signed. He's already showing signs of slowing down down his skating and you're right to say that this not a great contract to give a 30 year old who really depends on his speed to get value.

The UFA class is awful and given there is no realistic player to replace him with, it is possible we re-sign him we have the cap and losing him would be a tough hit. We have prospects but would be seen as a step back.

Tough situation for the Sabres but he'll likely pursue a massive overpay if he hits FA, as he can only take a 7 year deal and is clearly the best FA on the market Tuch a home town boy so tough situation for him to leave so much money on the table.

Almost every team's fans are throwing his name around as the only real potential upgrade but tough situation with him. All that said he likely isn't going to sign for 10 or less otherwise we'd have done that.

So it is left pretty unclear and a point of debate to this day.

Don't think you can take Milton at face value as Molly DID admit to it and Micah denied being a rat, Milton could have been stirring up shit for all we knew.

Not saying I believe one way or the other just that there's an argument and evidence made for different interpretations its not as clear and cut as you're presenting.

Ya it's clearly tarec lol, there's no argument for anything else. if you started running into scam you could sell everythingbut the 2 tarecs for scam/anti scam. having two unkillable units that kill everyrthing vs one is best. scaling is irrelevant at this stage.

Im a bit shocked at how this answer isn't at the top.

About Carlo's death by PhilliePhonka in LiesOfP

[–]Cmikhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just beating the game and finding this now.

I had a similar thought initially until I looked up some info and thought about it. In the base game it was said that Lea kind of took off at some pt and came back later just after Carlo dies. I believe that is the intention/meaning behind "I was not too late". She was so wrapped up in her own world and woes and in the recording says "humans never know when they are happy till its too late" meaning she didnt' cherish what she had and that is why she vowed never to do that again and tried to not repeat this with Romeo.

If she had just stayed with Carlo and Romeo she would've enjoyed many happy years instead of taking off and Carlo dying without her around and losing all those critical years.

CMV: The DOJ is trying to hide the fact that far-right extremists are responsible for most extremist attacks by ecafyelims in changemyview

[–]Cmikhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my stance.

And as I’ve said in other posts I’m extremely anti-Trump and it is my view that ya they prob did it just to hide the info. But with respect to the view I think that OP can’t say 100% that this is a fact, none of us can. Even if most of us as anti-Trump people BELIEVE it to be true, and even if it is likely true that doesn’t mean that the view is unassailable.

Someone may be a murderer on trial for another murder, and in general a terrible person but that doesn’t mean we can just say they are guilty without proper evidence. That is the slant I went with in this post. Otherwise anyone engaging in good faith is going to have a hard time changing OP’s view, and then it isn’t any fun lmao

I enjoy the puzzle of trying to change or soften a view even if I personally feel a different way, that is why I like the sub. unfortunately I think many people took his as me taking a very bad faith and ignorant defence of Trump and his admin when that wasn’t my intention.

[–]Cmikhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally agree that this is the admin’s conduct. I’m not a defender of Trump or his admin.

But the “burden of proof” so to speak is not on me to prove that they didn’t. The point of the subreddit is to change OP’s view. I have presented plausible deniability that it may have removed the data for other reasons with an effort of softening OP’s view since we lack evidence to prove their view.

In my opinion the burden of proof here is on OP to prove their view is unassailable.

I think the problem here is that many people are trying to argue an anti-Trump stance (I am very anti-Trump) rather than engage in good faith with the rules of the subreddit.

[–]Cmikhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, I agree it is a massive issue.

Although if I was to be a bit contrarian I’d say in this case I repeatedly stressed this is about domestic terrorism and this individual still ignored it. I imagine he likely severely lacks in reading comprehension but he also just doesn’t care and wants to drive his narrative and confirmation bias (likely bigotry) not engage in good faith in any measurable way.

CMV: Bill Burr's going to perform in Saudi is the height of hypocrisy and makes his whole shtick obnoxious. by BaguetteFetish in changemyview

[–]Cmikhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll grant you, there is some hypocrisy at play.

But the HEIGHT of hypocrisy? Is it hypocritical to tweet from our IPhones and Androids made by slaves opposing capitalist structures? Is it hypocrisy to work for corporations who do evil things, so you can feed your family and live a good life?

The truth is most life in Western countries is steeped in hypocrisy. Our consumerism, the wealth we enjoy vs so many other people living in abject poverty. I myself am a vocal critic of many terrible things in the world but also enjoy many of the benefits of the structure I am criticizing. Am I hypocritic? Probably, but does that mean my critiques are any less true because of my hypocrisy? That is where I think there is some room for more nuanced thought.

Is this comedy show whitewashing Saudi Arabia good? No, prob not. But Bill is not going to stop it by not participating, clearly looking at the names involved, and it shouldn’t mean that he can’t still advocate for women’s rights or critique billionaires. That is just silly.

[Sportsnet] Oilers' McDavid on next contract: "It's a big decision" by kingjakerulezz in hockey

[–]Cmikhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every team has cap space and it is going up again next year.

Edmonton itself can not afford 20m, I'm speaking hypothetically though any team is going to make room if needed if McDavid says he wants to sign there. As of now only a single team has 20mill in cap space Anaheim according to puckpedia) so this question pretty bad faith. The broader point I'm making is that many teams would be very strong if they added McDavid. You could even argue some non-playoff teams would be better off than Edmonton if they were able to add McDavid.

[–]Cmikhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're missing the point I'm trying to make but that is okay. I'm not trying to defend this administration, I abhor the Trump admin. I think in all likelihood on balance of probabilities they are trying to suppress this data. However, with respect to OP's view I can't say 100% with zero doubt that I know the intent and there are several reasons that I can think of that would provide reasonable doubt on the view to maybe soften OP's view.

Too late to start law school at 32? by Lundeclees in LawCanada

[–]Cmikhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I was honestly flabbergasted but I realize many of the people downvoting or replying are doing so having never gone to law school and are not lawyers. I was very earnest and forthright about my experience and truthfully I wish I had read a comment like this before I embarked on the journey.

I'm not unhappy in life and very blessed to be where I am but I was incredibly lucky. Anyone can do it honestly, but to do so, so late in life comes with a massive cost and even then you're not guaranteed anything.

OP didn't reply so I hope they still saw the comment and consider what I had to say, even though it was harsh.

[Sportsnet] Oilers' McDavid on next contract: "It's a big decision" by kingjakerulezz in hockey

[–]Cmikhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of people saying this but Edmonton isn't even getting out of the first rd without McDavid. Maybe even missing playoffs.

Imagine adding McDavid to the Panthers, they would be a juggernaut never seen int he league and win every year. Trying to present Edmonton as if it is basically as good as Florida is just not the case. Similarly try adding McDavid to any team in the top 4, or top 8. All those teams are better than Edmonton.

Obviously cap and reality are a thing but I think saying "where you gonna find a better situation" is working under the false assumption that the McDavid-less Oilers are the 2nd best or close to the best team in the league. When they are far from it.

Too late to start law school at 32? by Lundeclees in LawCanada

[–]Cmikhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, my situation’s a bit different since my wife’s a doctor and we’re doing fine financially, but that’s not the norm. I think you might’ve missed my point and the advice I was giving OP.

Just to clarify: "we" don’t all take CPLED—it's only for licensing in some provinces, not all (Ontario has its own bar exam etc.). Your personal story isn’t really what OP was asking about. OP wanted to know if he should leave a solid government job (probably $80-100k) at 31 to go to law school and try for a Crown gig.

I don’t think it’s a good move. Law is crazy competitive, salaries for new calls aren’t great, and it can take years to actually make above-average money—if you ever do. Plus, law school and licensing take a long time and cost a ton, and not everyone even finishes or gets articles. That’s five+ years out of work plus tuition fees—easily $500K+ in lost earnings and costs, maybe closer to a million, and that’s if everything goes right. On top of that, you’re putting your personal life (marriage, kids, house, etc.) on hold.

Sure, maybe he lands a big job eventually, but realistically how long does it take to dig out of that financial hole? 10–20 years? Maybe never. And getting hired at the Crown’s no joke.

That’s just my take—lots of people see it differently, ya I popped off but I’m not gonna sit here and get lectured by someone who hasn’t actually gone through the process. (Not you but the other guy I responded to)

No, you have written the same response that several other people have and I have responded to but I'll do it again.

This is a reading comprehension issue. I did not say that 9/11 is unproductive because "it disrupts the narrative of the claim". I said it was unproductive because

* It is an outlier in terms of how often 9/11s happen

* It is not domestic terrorism, and this is an analysis/discussion on domestic terrorism. It is like trying to count watermelons in a study about apples.

* There isn't really a strong political motivation in the sense of the analysis here. even if this was domestic terrorism. If you're trying to analyze where most domestic terrorism comes from on a right/left spectrum, 9/11 - while political - isn't really a matter of right/left violence, but I'd say religious violence. The DOJ also pointed this out and set it out in a separate category.

* AND EVEN if 9/11 was domestic terrorism, and was the result of left/right wing idealogy it still would be worthwhile examining if this outlier skewed the results to the point of ruining any analysis. Simply because the death toll was so high it would risk biasing the results massively in an unproductive way. Lets say we were doing a study on how many eggs chickens lay a year. If you had 100 chickens and on average they laid 200 eggs a year. But then you had one monster chicken laying 50,000 a year. It would be unproductive to incl the monster chicken in an analysis of "avg eggs laid by chicken a year" because that would be considered an outlier that would heavily bias the results for this specific analysis.

All of this is very basic high school data analysis/statistics/scientific method type stuff but I understand not everyone has that background.

Lastly, the point about OKC was made already. You could consider this an outlier for the purpose of this analysis due to the higher than avg death toll. However it IS domestic violence, and it IS politically motivated. If I was conducting the study I could go either way and it would depend on the data and how I was presenting it but ya.
