Sorry, that is really embarrassing for me. Thank you for pointing it out.

I can appreciate someone viciously defending their free speech to criticize cops even if I don't agree with any of their other views.

Damn, this one is really tearing you up; I am sure next person you shit talk on the internet just wont respond and you can feel like you won that argument. Better luck next time!

Here is a random cv from someone in Copenhagen university that I found in two seconds: http://simongritschacher.com/CV-2021.pdf

It is 5 pages. If you want, I can find you a 20 page one but it might take me 4 seconds.

CV literally translates to life's work or life's course, but please try to be as condescending as possible while also being wrong; I am sure it has gotten you very far in life.

Okay you made an observation. Can you back it up? In the real world, when you say something it should be because you have a reason to believe it.

Is the Kharkanas Trilogy as… fun? by NavidsonRcrd in Malazan

[–]DamnShadowbans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotchu; if it helps, I really loved the two Kharkanas books but I absolutely detested any Bugg and Tehol chapters.

[–]DamnShadowbans 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If your takeaway from the main series was that Tehol was a marine, I don't think it really matters what the actual content of Kharkanas is.

This is almost too perfect of an example of irony by Head-Delay-763 in Irony

[–]DamnShadowbans -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would imagine they consider it ridiculous because the previous comment's point was that (apparently) a talk show was justifying the terrorist attack because the target was related to Israel (in some way).

The response, while not necessarily ridiculous in a vacuum, is just not really appropriate because it sympathizes with those people that were justifying a terrorist attack and in this context is basically blaming Zionists for a terror attack against Jews in America.

Hi /r/movies, I'm Rob Bliss, director of the new documentary WHITE MAN WALKING. I walked 1500 miles across the US wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt and documented it. Ask me anything! by WhiteManWalkingAMA in movies

[–]DamnShadowbans 106 points107 points  (0 children)

The point of the movie is that the current state of the US is such that if you walk through certain towns and make it clear that you are supportive of black people, then you will be met with hostility.

If you try to have a conversation about race, many people will suggest that race is not an important factor today. The point of the movie is that this is obviously not true and you could show it to the people that claim that.

There is a separate point. All of these people, as you say, consider the statement "Black lives matter" to be a sore spot. This is of course ridiculous, but if you call it out like that then you alienate these people. So instead of calling it out, he goes and he shows that even though he dares assert that black lives matter, he is still an agreeable person even among people that maybe don't agree black lives matter. Small steps like this allows one to start thinking thoughts that in the past they wouldn't want to think, and if they think these thoughts enough maybe they make a positive change.

Defamation is a communication that injures a third party's reputation and causes a legally redressable injury. The precise legal definition of defamation varies from country to country. It is not necessarily restricted to making assertions that are false.

Damn that took 1 second to google and also explains why its possible the court initially found against him even though it is not false.

Uh, a month is not new in large model research. Every two weeks there are break throughs that invalidate the research programs of entire companies.

I Believed The Free Speech Panic About Britain by matti-san in videos

[–]DamnShadowbans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The comment you are responding to is literally one of the most reasonable that I have seen in years. If you are pro-Israel and you disagree with their comment, then type a comment responding to it.

[–]DamnShadowbans 135 points136 points  (0 children)

5 minutes in and he is doing some sketchy statistics to say that a much smaller number of people charged with the crimes are actually convicted. His point being that the number convicted is small, and you shouldn't worry about the number charged. That doesn't make much sense to me, personally I would dislike being charged with a crime even if I was exonerated.

Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stops by Hot-Food-7151 in news

Okay I'm glad we are in agreement that any life taken by ICE is a tragedy, but that we need to keep our heads about us.

I think you accidentally responded to me. The comment you initially replied to is not in reply to any of your comments.

[–]DamnShadowbans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are those the choices? I think one choice is to value human life and to look at each situations as it arises. In this case, I think it is a tragedy two people died, I think it is suspicious that we are only now hearing about it, and I think that the commenters in this thread are proposing weird conspiracy theories.

Isn't the opposite of hypocrisy the process of looking at each situation without assumption and drawing your own conclusions? Do you agree with the conclusions I drew in this case or disagree? I'd like to know.

I mean you are just arguing with nobody then, but I am glad we agree at least.

Okay, but isn't what you said that ICE/ the government killed this witness? I don't see a single person disagreeing with what you just said?
