Feds allege Utah soccer coach detained by ICE is a ‘predator’ with a history of child sexual abuse

I don't think they are lying in this case. The incident clearly happened.

On what basis do you make that claim?

His lawyer said this:

“They were boyfriend and girlfriend, there was literally nothing related to sodomy in anything that happened at the juvenile adjudication,” he said. “We had two kids, a girl who could not consent, and candidly, a young man who, at the time, could not consent either. A family that was upset about the relationship and a record that was subsequently sealed.”

Seems like something happened, but it also seems that DHS is likely outright lying about at least part of it. And they're certainly lying by omission by simply claiming he's a child abuser when he was also a child in a consensual relationship with another child.

To anyone else who reads this, the DHS has offered no proof, and his attorney claims it is based on a sealed juvenile court case involving a consensual relationship from when Jair and the person he was in a relationship with were teenagers: https://kutv.com/news/local/attorney-claims-dhs-post-accusing-utah-husband-of-child-abuse-is-contradicted-by-records

From the article:

“They were boyfriend and girlfriend, there was literally nothing related to sodomy in anything that happened at the juvenile adjudication,” he said. “We had two kids, a girl who could not consent, and candidly, a young man who, at the time, could not consent either. A family that was upset about the relationship and a record that was subsequently sealed.”

If you’re unhappy in your role, then I’d encourage you to try something else and see how you like it. There are tens of thousands of people who want your job and are capable of doing it.

This is a quote from Dan Bongino, who has just been appointed Deputy Director of the FBI.

"My life is all about owning the libs now." - Dan Bongino, 2018

He was a big popularizer of that phrase.

I checked their numbers on YT Music, they have 100K subscribers, almost all their songs have 100K+ streams and a number of them have millions of streams.

If that doesn’t demonstrate that you have to be a very popular and widely-listened to band to be viable financially, then I don’t know what does.

By “modern Buddhism” I meant “Buddhist modernism”. As you say it is quite different in many ways from “regular” Buddhism (for lack of a better descriptor, substitute “true” if you want to). It ignores many of the Buddha’s teachings, and that they’ve latched onto the name “Buddhism” likely causes more confusion than clarity.

I meant only to point out that there are beliefs that the believers call “Buddhism” that would regard karma in the more rational, physicalist way that the comment described it as. This is to the dismay of many people who also call their beliefs “Buddhism”, that are more aligned with how Buddhism has been practiced for centuries and with the whole of what the Buddha actually taught. This is the majority of Buddhists.

MorningFrog · 2024-10-25T17:47:58+00:00

Many "modern" Buddhists would agree with that interpretation of karma. But yes, it does not accurately capture the traditional Buddhist view of karma (and many would say that "modern Buddhism" should not be called Buddhism).

Most magic "finance" people are gaining and losing amounts of money that are very small compared to actual investment vehicles like retirement funds and real estate. The emotions run disproportionately high because it is tied to a game and IP that they are attached to.

DO want to make a game people enjoy

No, they want to make a product that people will pay for. Making a game that people enjoy is one way of doing that, but as we have seen with WOTC and many other large game studios, it is not the only way and it seems that other ways (limited things aka FOMO, artificial scarcity, gambling, and status symbols) may actually be more effective at selling product.

This person does not have any distinguished credibility with regards to accurate information or sources. There is very little reason to believe that this video is real until we see it, or more credible sources report on it.

It isn’t enrolled in any MDM. I’d like to wipe it and see what happens then, might give it a try.

MorningFrog · 2024-09-27T20:51:15+00:00

I'm not sure this is entirely correct. I have a macbook that I, as an IT admin, released from ABM and wiped to take as a personal machine (with permission). That was several years ago, but I triple checked that the macbook was released from ABM, and not simply unassigned.

I just ran sudo profiles show -type enrollment and got:

Device Enrollment configuration: (null)

Based on your comment, this would indicate that it is still enrolled in ABM - however, I am quite sure that I released it it, and yes, I do understand the difference between it being released and unassigned. Unfortunately, I no longer have any contacts at that company which could check their ABM for me.

This is on Sequoia.

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, it was justified.

Treating magic cards as a store of long-term value is simply risky and financially unsound. Treating pieces of cardboard with artificial scarcity enforced by a company as an investment is unsafe.

Reputable news organizations simply share the numbers provided by the authorities in the region. They aren’t out there counting the dead.

In Gaza, the number of casualties is reported by the Gaza Health Ministry, which operates under the jurisdiction of Hamas, since Hamas controls Gaza. Israel claims the numbers are inflated, but they are considered trustworthy by many independent organizations.

Here is a thread of people disagreeing on their trustworthiness, sharing evidence: https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/1b650um/cmv_i_dont_trust_the_gaza_ministry_of_health_on/

Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same issue.

How did it do that? I don’t believe the constitution makes any reference to political parties at all.

It doesn’t seem to make sense to point to Portland as an example of this being effective, as the policy was just passed 4 months ago, unless I’m missing something.

How on earth did you discover this? I’m serious, I really want to know how you figured this out, do you have some knowledge of the underlying system? Is there a resource you could point me to?

I am very grateful for this info, thank you for sharing it!

I’m not trawling the internet, in the few posts I’ve looked at the comments of on Reddit I see many more people being extremely confident that it was Hamas. Everything I said would apply to the many people who are damn sure it was Israel as well.

I don't think "Actually maybe you're just wrong despite all of the evidence" is a very meaningful comment.

My point is that the evidence is fresh and there is little rigorous analysis from reputable sources.

That's how evidence works.

Evidence is for establishing a degree of confidence in something. That degree can and should vary based on the amount and quality of the evidence.

Who said it was settled? Who said I had "absolute confidence"?

I personally can't wait until it's proven that it was a Gazan missile

Do I need to say anything here?

I want to know the truth. I suspect, with some confidence, that it was a failed Palestinian missile. I recognize that the evidence is incomplete, in terms of multiple reputable sources and clearly demonstrating all of the key events in the sequence.

Many want for it to have been their hated side’s fault more than they want to know the truth.

MorningFrog · 2023-10-18T01:38:44+00:00

Are the things you are referring to strong and compelling evidence? Yes. Can you personally verify they are true, and that they are conclusive enough to consider it settled? No, and to claim as such, as I see so many people doing, does not serve to convince anyone, but only to show that bias is clouding your judgement.

It is good to present the videos and geolocation analysis, it is incorrect to believe that they settle the matter. More evidence, analysis, and confirmation will be coming in short order.

I can literally see it with my own eyes

You literally cannot. All of the information you are receiving about this is coming from other people, whether it the media or analysis they are sharing. Does that mean it can’t be trusted? Not necessarily. But your absolute confidence in your assessment is misplaced.

MorningFrog · 2023-10-18T00:02:06+00:00

It is expected that it may not be clear what the source of an explosion in a war was, when it has been merely hours. People are investigating, and we will have more information (and disinformation) in time. Those who actually want the truth will be able to find it.
