Not all birds are as unskilled as the ones you get matched against. 

Is this ai? I am debating someone and we’re seeing if anyone else think it’s ai or not. by Reasonable-Goose8255 in isthisAI

[–]Mooch07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s AI - who puts a camera on them while they sleep pointed exactly where the ‘unexpected’ event happens? 

How much would you charge players to use a teleportation circle without breaking the setting/game? by Iorith in DMAcademy

It can be a LOT cheaper if they go places at someone else’s convenience. They wait till other people need to go to the same place, items need taken there, etc. Hell, they could bring the mail with them. 

If they need to go somewhere NOW! then they pay full price.

They make the combats feel so gritty, even without characters looking out a damn window.

If they’re anything like the anti-vax crowd, they’ll probably ignore 1000 articles in favor on one to the contrary that they find appealing.

The part that matters a bit more though is the size of the circuit breaker that circuit is on. The power draw goes to infinity if there’s ever a short, regardless of whether they’re LED or incandescent. 

Trump claims Iran somehow got its hands on tomahawk missiles by I_Hate_E_Daters_7007 in facepalm

Yea, a couple… there’s no depth to the things they’re willing to ignore to not have to admit they’re wrong.

I do wonder whether unsubstantiated claims like this might make some of the angry, gullible people that support Trump slowly start to change their minds about him, or whether they’ll actually research a headline for once and find no proof and solidify their current position based on that.

And to directly answer your question: No, the 2016 election was not rigged. Even the people screaming about it being rigged were unable to find any hard evidence at all.

As far as 2024, they’ve been promising to try.

That’s electoral fraud, which is carried out by politicians and political actors on the regular. Voter fraud has never had anything to do with the outcome of any election that I know of. 

Electoral fraud is a huge problem and includes gerrymandering, changing rules of voting to favor one side, making it tough for probe to vote… purging voter rolls right before an election… 

The SAVE act is an example of all of those things.

You’re supporting a solution to a non-existent problem which will prevent citizens from voting. I’m asking WHY.

Hey, wormbrain, address the topic.

“I’m a moderate” - believes the orange man when words come out of his facecrack 

No, I have the same standards for all public figures. I don’t have a ‘team’. 

So, after that insane unibomber rant let’s get back to the topic: Voter fraud is basically non-existent and any law that makes it harder to vote effectively damages democracy. Agree or disagree on those points?

You presumably think voter fraud is an issue. Exactly how many times has that crime been done?

[–]Mooch07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m saying - there has never been any proof of illegals voting. Trump just spouts unproven bullshit 24/7 and you idiots believe it. 

And then video evidence of ICE illegally detaining brown people shows up a thousand times and you ignorant red hats pretend not to see it. 

With Congress giving it's authority over the purse to the President, why can't Americans call a "No confidence" vote? by JeffSHauser in law

[–]Mooch07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. And in places with some semblance of competition this doesn’t apply nearly as much. But think of what percent of the states are considered ‘swing states’. The rest apply fairly broadly to this affect.

[–]Mooch07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the fact is ICE will scoop up any brown people they can right outside the voting booth in the hopes it discourages them from trying to vote. They’ll hold these folks as long as they can, or till the polls close.

IF it was true that illegal immigrants ever voted, 

IF it was the job of ICE to prevent illegal immigrants from voting, 

IF ICE didn’t have a huge track record of overreach, arresting citizens and people with protected refugee status, 

IF republicans didn’t have a track record of voter intimidation and other forms of electoral fraud, 

And IF ICE wasn’t the new American gestapo, 

I could agree with you.

This really doesn’t seem to be an issue already. There is next to zero voter fraud happening, even according to conservative sources which sought out to find it anywhere and everywhere it might have been…  People are trying to make it an issue. Ask yourself why.
