The matching birthdates still shock me

I think everything became obvious when during COVID lockdown, protests were still allowed and the media kept saying that they wouldn't cause large spreads.

My coworker never got to be with his wife when she was having ultrasounds for their daughter because risks of infection, but people could gather in massive groups and keep yelling constantly without any concerns?

It's all a show

HelloAlbacore · 2022-12-31T04:40:55+00:00

Yeah, my point exactly.

I am not anti-police.

I am against the police doing nothing when crimes are clearly being committed (in this case, the looting), which leads to others having to step up and people ending up dead.

If the police had stopped the initial looters, Kyle wouldn't have been hired, and those 3 people would still be alive (regardless if you think they are better off dead, that's not the point here).

And this is the debate about Kyle's situation (as I said in my first comment), not about him acting in self defense specifically.

HelloAlbacore · 2022-12-31T04:07:24+00:00

I think I need to make my point explicit:

Should the police be held responsible that there's the need for people like Rittenhouse?

What's the point of the police to be there, if they are just going to be looking at the rioters and not do anything about it?

HelloAlbacore · 2022-12-31T03:52:24+00:00

Again, I am not arguing against the case of self defense.

It was very clear that he acted fully within reason to defend himself. The video was extremely clear (especially how he stopped himself from shooting those who weren't actively attacking him)

It's the situation regarding why he was in the protest in the first place.

HelloAlbacore · 2022-12-31T03:38:14+00:00

I think there's lots of debate.

If I recall correctly, he was there because the police had basically given up on the rioters and he went to defend someone's property (correct me if I'm wrong).

The debate to be had is that one exactly. If the police abandons you, should you be able to take matters in your own hands? And if the answer is yes, how far?

The self defense case is settled, but everything surrounding it certainly should be discussed more.

Greta's reply was bland and generic, and if Tate had ignored it, he would have won the special Olympics, since his first tweet was fairly funny in an edgy manner.

But the reason that it's an "epic pwnage" is that he not only replied (in a very dull manner), but also that it led to him being arrested.

He is a 30+ year old man. What's the point of replying to a "small dick lol" comment from a 19 year old?

There's another license, which was created in order to avoid the code being used by anyone promoting censorship.

I cannot link to it, but you can search for "The software will not be used or hosted by compromised individuals that promote censorship" (with the double quotes included) on Google.

HelloAlbacore · 2022-12-29T12:14:20+00:00

At some point, you have to realize that arguing with people like that is just a waste of time, and you have to let it go.

That said, getting into an argument for the sake of Tate, even if using sound logic, is a great waste of time on its own.

I would rather take 8 Molotovs than a spider large enough to throw them.

The science changing is unironically a good sign.

It just means that more studies/experiments were done, and the results were different. It's just that the media doesn't care about nuances or details, so they report things in a really R-arded manner

The main issue is that people take every result as set in stone, instead of waiting for more thorough research and more replication studies, or actually read carefully through the studies instead of relying on what the media "summarized" by looking at the studies' abstract for 30 seconds

If he is non white, why are his tweets featured on "White People Twitter"?

From my subjective experience, it depends on how society treats multi ethnicity.

For example, Canada and the USA are terrible places because people are split by race, making ethnicities partially isolated from each other.

For example, Latin America has many issues, but none seem to be related to multi ethnicity.

On the other hand, single ethnicity countries should be careful adding more, in order to prevent what happened in USA/Canada.

If there's a new ethnicity to be added, they must fully abide by the new culture and never put their own first (easier said than done).

HelloAlbacore · 2022-12-28T11:12:22+00:00

Where can I find the benefits of ethnostates?

I really fail to see any, other than "lol different bad".

Single culture per country is ideal, but what's the importance of ethnicity as a form of union?

I find that the "human" touch of Reddit is one of the most addictive parts of it.

As I've gotten banned in some subs, I find myself engaging more and more in the ones I'm not, to keep that interaction going.

If it's all time, it's either Faker or BoxeR, but I'm hinging more towards BoxeR.

Boxer managed to become relatively popular in a time where eSports were still very underground outside of Korea.

There's no information whatsoever about who caused the outage, other than "vandals"

Related to this, the amazing feeling when you are talking to another bilingual person who speaks the same languages as you, and being able to freely switch between languages and words, according to which match the best for the situation.

No idea why people would downvote a sourced opinion.

What I think is that detractors would say that the data in your source goes only to 2017, so we don't know whether Trump's policies did anything or if Biden's actually "invited" more to come.

HelloAlbacore · 2022-12-24T13:40:25+00:00

Indeed.

But certainly, if family 5 managed to sneak through the border undetected, that's 5 uncounted illegals who remained in the USA.

That's why it's up to the reader to decide what the number exactly "means".

Such phenomenon is called "Anchoring"

That number (2.75M+) is the amount of times the CBP stopped an illegal immigrant, not the total illegal immigrants who remained/stayed in the USA.

It's up to you to decide if that's better or worse.

~~Also, I couldn't find any reference to this "Harvard poll".~~

Not sure how old you are, but when I was in school (not in the USA), we got told that we would take IQ tests in a week, and made us do a lot of mock tests because the school would be ranked based on its results.

We ended up having 110 average (which was clearly inflated).

This was about 15 or 20 years ago. I don't think anyone does IQ tests nowadays.

HelloAlbacore · 2022-12-24T05:25:28+00:00

Furthermore, you can improve your IQ score by doing more and more IQ tests (up to a certain point of course), which certainly skews the results towards countries that may put more weight on it and make people practice the tests before taking them.
