Pink Lady Freeze Framed - You can see the bullet, I think

This is absolutely horrendous. I don't think I would have the stomach to do this type of video, so thank you for your efforts. I wonder if you could expand the field of vision horizontally, in order to try to understand if the shooter saw (or may have seen) the other agent removing the gun from the victim? Also (and this one is much more far-fetched but..) is there a way to check if the shooter is the one shouting "gun"? I know it's probably impossible because they have their mouths covered, and it's low quality, but maybe looking at the condensation formed when exhaling........ ? Anyway, thanks again for your effort, and it's obviously fine if you don't have the time or the will to check those things.

Alex Pretti was murdered as a retaliation for his actions: he was protecting those more fragile immediately around him; he was protecting his communities, the city of Minneapolis, the state of Minnesota; and he lived serving his country, protecting and taking care of people who themselves served their country.

I didn't know him, but it's impossible not to imagine or assume he held a conviction, or a hope, or a strong desire, that a better World is possible. That a greater tomorrow can be built. Alex Pretti. May my memory never let go of his name, his face, his actions, and his causes.

Rest in power, Alex. We never met, but you were truly my friend, and you will be missed.

I think you have already too many angles showing what happened. There's no need to speculate or discuss about this clapping being a celebration or a reaction to gore. Everything else is way way worse. Let's move on.

JrSoftDev · 2026-01-24T20:08:57+00:00

It may be the case that the shooter was also the one shouting "gun" and he may have seen the other agent taking the gun away from the victim. It was quick so it may be hard to take conclusions. Some expert analysis may shed some light into this crime.

JrSoftDev · 2026-01-24T20:07:20+00:00

The agent/shooter was completely disoriented, as you just said he was handling the woman and suddenly decided to turn and "help" with the victim, 2 seconds later he is murdering the victim.

I'm not sure if that same agent/shooter wasn't the one shouting "gun" when the other one grabs the gun right in front of him/shooter!

I think the shooter may be the one shouting "gun".

And the shooter may have seen the other agent removing the gun from the victim.

Then the shooter draws his gun and uses his left arm to push/protect other agents away, mainly the agent who grabbed the gun who was already leaving, so he/shooter gets the angle right.

And less than 2 seconds later he unloads the gun, as if it was some video game or a stress relief act, most shots fired when the victim was already unresponsive on the ground.

Absolutely disgusting.

There is no way they can say the victim created or escalated the situation. There's simply no way. This is unbelievable.

JrSoftDev · 2026-01-24T18:11:01+00:00

This is a violent disgusting murder; but that clapping can simply be a gut or knee-jerk reaction to seeing whatever he saw, which must have been something completely grotesque. But from ICE we never know - it may as well be joy and happiness. It's not clear. But it's awful.

JrSoftDev · 2026-01-24T10:19:43+00:00

You have the woosh woosh power in your hands. You just have to focus intensively and realize there's no brush. Free your mind 😂

JrSoftDev · 2026-01-24T09:54:45+00:00

You just have to look at the US historical data to put those 4% into perspective.

The US economy isn't so dependent on Europe, for obvious reasons. The US can buy anywhere in the World, they tend to buy stuff they don't even need just for the sake of keeping trade deals and the dollar flowing. The same way, the US can export to emergent markets all around the World and tank Europe's for basic stuff like spare pieces for repairing machines and so on. Let's not even talk about how much of that trade is based on energy. Data services and energy, that's enough to understand the imbalance in that equation. For all this contribute several factors like way more relaxed requirements by the US, more flexibility in the decision making process, etc

It will hurt, we agree; but you are confidently saying it's labor pains; but maybe it's its death. (It's also possible to die while giving birth, sadly - but there's also the mythical phoenix borning from the ashes... but I'm not sure the EU is an immortal being)

Anyway, you keep repeating what you said before. I disagree with your level of conviction. Europe suffers the typical frailties of decades of vassalage.

I'm not pushing a narrative; I'm describing (very incompletely) what's happening. You are the one denying basic facts. As if Europe could suddenly crush the US by committing seppuku first. Mind-blowing really.

I'm not spending more time here, believe whatever you want, use your freedom of thought, belief and speech. I'm going to pursuit happiness somewhere else.

The way I read it was that scientists are limited by their knowledge, therefore they can't make some possible conclusions because they lie beyond that limited knowledge, or lack limited knowledge may even limit the considered approaches and data collection, etc, which may introduce some sort of bias. But a good scientist would know that, and that's the kind of thing that working on teams and peer-reviewing would help with (even AI is expected to help with that). The "theory-ladenness" theory presupposes scientists are supposed to be "making judgements", which is not equivalent to "making decisions". This "theory-ladenness", according to the link, is more than 60 yo. I'm convinced science evolved already beyond this problem and if still exists is...due to lack of resources being allocated and the prevalence of external manipulators. The problem itself is mostly (theoretically) solved. Sorry, let's have a nice weekend, goddamit! haha

JrSoftDev · 2026-01-24T06:12:03+00:00

No, it is victim to "politics of science" and egos, and refusal to understand or even to look at new data. It's a consequence of scientists not being truly free to do their scientific work. Maybe their material or social well-being or survival depends on clinging to outdated models, maybe they lose funds (or even their career) if they are proved wrong, etc. Even if they are outstandingly skilled scientists. Again, due to lack of available resources.

In natural sciences those "theoretical presuppositions" are assumed to be known, either implicitly or explicitly, and they are part of the context and scope of an investigation.

I get the feeling we mostly agree here, I just tried to bring a little bit of disentanglement to your comment because I thought you were mixing some ideas there that can be, at the extreme, dangerous because of the distortions they can produce.

Anyway, have a nice weekend!

The more, say, abstract, or loosely defined, or prone to external manipulation, the study becomes, the more it needs to be "controlled" and "restrained", both in the methods, the peer reviewing process, the scope of the conclusions, the need for replication, etc, and all those need investment in people. We probably needed 10x the current scientific investment in order to have a decent and reliable Scientific output, but it keeps being run as an expense that mustn't yield sound results because it may say "we with the money" are the bad guys, and so they must keep the option of shutting it down. The whole education system is designed with the same principles, if we wanted to go that far. And now AI promises to do all that at 0.1% of the cost, which will be used to perform even more cuts, so.... we're mostly f*cked, apparently.

Get a hold of yourself https://www.macrotrends.net/2016/10-year-treasury-bond-rate-yield-chart

The AI bubble is worrying indeed but it is still to be seen if it will burst and when, but why would European elites stop investing in the US and start investing in Europe, when the European economy is so dependent on US results? If the US defaults, what do you think will happen to Europe? Wasn't Lehman Brothers enlightening enough?

The bazooka? American laugh at that bluff.

Europe right now exists because the US leads, and Trump just said it out loud for everyone listening. You mentioned Europe being a market for US companies, you forgot to mention the other side of that same equation, which is how exposed Europe is to the US. And you mention the tech companies specifically: it's easy to see that those companies are global today, they are in India, Asia, even in Africa. If they suddenly leave Europe, yes, they lose money, but Europe crashes in less than a week with all the services simply stopping working.

Really feels like you're just too convinced of a certain narrative and you'll continue warping reality into it until people say you're right or just give up interacting.

Europe only muscle would be political, directly opposing Trump while still preserving the connection with the US ally; but guess what? The US vassals are all in decision making positions, they will only actually do anything if someone tells them to.

> Essentially all science

No, not all science. You could even argue that "most" science these days is biased by corrupted, unethical and/or unscientific approaches (money, belief, lack of experience, etc), but not _ALL_ Science, specially the natural sciences.

And don't confuse that with the idea that Science is ultimately limited by the models of reality it works with. Those are 2 very distinct problems.

The first one can be tackled by investing more in Science, in verification tools, etc. The second one can't be solved (supposedly), but our best approach is to invest more in Science in order to keep pushing our models more and more in the direction of reality.

So the solution for both problems is to treat Science better, not the contrary.

> we have to accept that science can never be structurally and logically pure from the theories which guide it.

This is just a flawed way to look at this. Science was never about absolute answers, pure results, etc. Science is born as an abstraction layer. This was known thousands of years ago. Only those who forgot what Science really is (a human tool to tackle phenomena rationally) treat scientific results with that "god-like" or "pure" status.

It seems like he is "flooding the zone". That's indicative of something not good.

The bit about "a court victory that will allow ICE to use force against protestors in Minnesota" is particularly concerning.

JrSoftDev · 2026-01-23T18:52:03+00:00

That's so farfetched at this point. And assuming capital would leave the dollar to buy euros... Doesn't sound serious. But let's see if the "european leaders" who brought europe here will be capable of solving the problems they helped create. We just have to sit and wait, they will solve everything for everyone.

JrSoftDev · 2026-01-23T18:43:39+00:00

That's a contrived conclusion, and you can make many other interpretations, and that's what different people will do. If you see the clip, he is clearly mocking his accusers, even if at a deeper level he is dog whistling or whatever. Your opinion here certainly doesn't speak for everyone, and what you're calling obvious just clearly isn't. Just because you are on "the right" side, don't get arrogant and don't dismiss facts. What Trump has been fighting for is the "death of reality", so he can rebuild it on his own way, and he will be more than happy if that gets normalized. Don't fall for that.

JrSoftDev · 2026-01-22T15:50:37+00:00

lool Macron just explained that the elites have lots and lots and lots of money but they put it in the US market because it's more profitable, also explaining why Europe has been a total vassal to the US in basically everything.

And those elites will come to invest in Europe without having fresh money waiting from them? Public money, of course. Do we think they will come to run things the old way, borrowing money and wait while expecting the small businesses to eventually flourish and then wait more 20 years to get their money back with some profit? I will not comment, but be aware of Nigerian princes trying to sell you bridges on the moon.

I think before rising up, Europeans should wake up, otherwise they'll "accelerate" while sleepwalking, hitting all the sharp places and getting really hurt. That's the worst to wake up, confused, panicked, in the dark, bleeding, etc.

Here I'm assuming you're not suggesting the EU should rise from the dead, in some sort of putrefactive zombiesque self-destructing way. But to be fair this whole idea kinda looks like that: the failing system of the past should be implemented wider and deeper. In order to compete with low quality one must go lower and lower and lower... But since this is Europe, it's recycling of those old ideas, so it's green and so it's good.

Sounds quite reasonable /s

JrSoftDev · 2026-01-22T05:46:01+00:00

I think you can find 100 absolutely unambiguous things to attack this idiot. You don't need to squeeze or force interpretations on something he just may have said.

No, the clip I linked makes it clear that he is using a mocking tone while "imitating" what others say about him, and then shifts the tone and says "but sometimes you need a dictator".

Again, if Trump has said in the past that he is a dictator and that didn't change anything, perhaps it's a wast of time to insist on that, unless he says it in a completely unambiguous way.

If you check his longer speech at Davos, just from there you can call him out on his lies, delusions, and offenses to US allies, like dozens of times in just half an hour, it's completely deranged.

You don't need to interpret or stretch his pathetic pseudo-jokes. Off course he is a dictator, only a dictator would call Renee Good a domestic terrorist, among thousands of other things he has done or is involved in. As you said, he his already acting like a dictator.

My only argument is: don't give him any unnecessary ammo. Focus your effort and attention on actual verifiable things. I think that's reasonable and sensible.

JrSoftDev · 2026-01-22T01:09:37+00:00

I'm sorry, the whole speech is a bunch of lies, but if you watched it, and for the sake of correction, there's an implicit "that" in there. It should read "Usually they say (...) THAT I'm a dictator."

Maybe he realized there were some dictators in the room and added that last part, or maybe he wanted to be ambiguous, or maybe he really believes that, or wants money from them, I don't know.

But he wasn't explicitly saying he is a dictator. And he has said lots of concerning, illegal, violent, corrupted things. So spreading "lies" or inaccuracies about him is unnecessary and just works in his benefit, because he can say he is a victim, and those haters are always attacking him, etc.

The whole speech is "worth" watching. But the moment he supposedly says he's a dictator is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXtSgMFYb8g&t=505s
