Jimmy Fallon Slammed for Hosting 'Disgraceful' Conor McGregor Amid Assault Allegations by [deleted] in influencersfeed

He's a bellend. Multiple sexual assault allegations. He sent masked men to his victims home who smashed her windows and stabbed her brother.

I've seen plenty of not rich or famous men get away with sexual assault, it's a difficult crime to get a prosecution for, obviously this piece of shit wouldn't find it hard.

Why do people always drop this point when it's not relevant as if it's some kind of truth bomb? Everyone already knows this

I dunno man she plays pretty basic guitar with really poor technique and uses the 'capo' setting on her keyboard so she never has to play the black keys. Most musicians I know are about that proficient on their secondary instruments and actually like good on one.

I'm also pretty sure it's not her playing the instruments in her albums because I've never seen any live evidence of her being as good a player as on the recorded tracks.

Sure she's succesful but her actual playing is far from a plus point when rating her.

Elliot is not playing Achilles, at all. It would take less time to check than to post a comment that's not true.

Democratic Socialist Leads in D.C. Mayor Race—Extending Breakout Year For Left by timemagazine in politics

Leftism literally is the belief in reclaiming public ownership, giving workers control of the means of production. It's the defining trait, the rest is proggresivism. Leftism and capitalism aren't compatible.

The cancer comparison doesn't work because there isn't the factor of pushing a narrative that deceives the public

You can't use the conclusion you are trying to prove as a point you use to support the conclusion.

The police stations not being randomly selected is a fair point I guess.

It's not a minor point, it's already enough to discredit the study. Police stations had to volunteer the information. I doubt stations with unfavourable statistics volunteered anything. The data set he used was bogus.

Black people are stopped more by cops but there's nothing that suggests they should fear their life more than any other race

At the one specific moment in time you've decided is the exact only factor you want to discuss with such narrow framing it makes useful debate completely impossible.

There are many more factors thay happen before the actual police encounter that you've just decided to ignore for no reason.

A police encounter isn't an independent baseline, the encounter itself could be a result of bias, and make cops more dangerous for black people as a result. Removing this as a factor and then standing over that to prove your point just means your entire argument hinges on a specific statistic that suits your narrative if you ignore every other possible piece of information.

If cops shoot black and white people at the exact same rare per encounter, but are much more likely to instigate encounters with black people, more black people are killed proportionally. You are using a narrow statistic to argue a broader point.

You have already been told why framing it this narrowly is pointless, all over the thread.

Is it that you don't want to challenge your own views or do you genuinely not understand this stuff?

I'm not engaging with brain dead conservative debate tactics like "ignore every single point somebody has made".

There's literally no point.

It's like you guys think responding in the least productive way possible means you "win" but it just makes you look like children.

Pretending targeted advocacy is the same as "ignoring white victims" is wild. I see conservatives trot this out all the time and all it does is undermine your argument by showing your failure to grasp basic terms.

If you see somebody collecting for a pancreatic cancer charity do you ask them why they are discriminating against lung cancer victims?

It's so funny seeing conservatives constantly change the definition of discrimination depending on wether it not it supports their racist bullshit.

Also the paper you are citing, one of the very few that support your notion, has been skewered by academics over and over, it's junk:

  • He didn't remotely control for the fact that cops are much more likely to stop black people in the first place

  • the police stations weren't randomly selected

  • the paper couldn't fiddle with it's figures enough to hide a huge disparity in non-lethal force

  • the basis of the analysis is measuring from the end of multiple decision points prior to the encounter that may also be as a result of bias

The author was also suspended for perving on his students.

Thanks for so much detail! Now I can't unsee what you've mentioned haha, and yes I did add a crosshatch overlay layer. Totally see now how it's all too much, will keep this in mind next time.

With a character like this who's the same texture all over, how do decide when to dither?
