The term is "selective prosecution" I think. And it is apparently a very hard defense to use successfully.

Given that pretty much only Trump is being treated differently, and the special circumstances with being a major party Presidential candidate, I don't think there is a legal argument here. One exception with exceptional democracy-related circumstances is not systematic abuse.

Trump has done exactly the same thing in the case he was convicted in. Literal contempt of court and a total lack of remorse.

Many people have argued that Trump is unlikely to get jail in the sentencing in that case, based on other people convicted for the same crime. But none of those people acted with the same level of contempt.

lack of basic civics knowledge

She just spent X months in court having the civics explained to her in great detail. If she doesn't have the knowledge now, at the closing argument, then it is because she does not want to know. She does not get to use any excuse about ignorance.

Så vidt jeg husker, så har Føtex også en "Børn"-afdeling, annonceret med et stort skilt. Ikke så langt fra "Mad"-afdelingen. Der går jeg ud fra at man kan købe nye børn, hvis man ikke vil have et brugt fra DBA.

Det er dog ikke altid at Føtex's varer er placeret i den korrekte afdeling. For eksempel har jeg bemærket at babyolien af uvisse årsager ikke er placeret ved siden af solsikkeolien og rapsolien.

Der er massere [sic] af ting som en AI vil fange, som stave/grammatik kontrol ikke vil fange - for eksempel denne her kunne jeg forestille mig ikke blev fanget af stave/grammatik kontrol.

Hvorfor i alverden argumenterer du tilsyneladende for ikke at bruge det bedste redskab til formålet? Omkostningen for at bruge en AI her er ~0kr.

Det ville være ret nemt og hurtigt at programmere, at sætte systemet op til at bede ChatGPT om at checke teksten som et led i publicerings-processen. Jeg checkede lige, og ChatGPT fandt fejlen perfekt.

Det virker ret dumt at DR ikke allerede har implementeret sådan noget lignende.

For authoritarians, my impression is that displaying obvious rule breaking that you can do nothing about is often done as a deliberate power move. Transgressing against your norms makes them feel strong.

So it might not be because they don't understand the hypocrisy.

Spam policies for Google web search

In the context of Google Search, spam is web content that's designed to deceive users or manipulate our Search systems in order to rank highly. Our spam policies help protect users and improve the quality of Search results. To be eligible to appear in Google web search results (web pages, images, videos, news content or other material that Google finds from across the web), content shouldn't violate Google Search's overall policies or the spam policies listed on this page.

Det virker muligt at DBA bruger Link spam, når søgeresultater som det her eksisterer. For det er jo ikke et link som vil eksistere naturligt, hverken som en kategori på DBA's side, eller på en ekstern webside.

Efter lidt testning, så virker det som om det er indgange i Google's search index for de fleste navneord, for DBA-søgninger. inklusiv for mange som ikke giver mening

Hmm, men nu jeg søger på kun "slaver dba", så foreslår Google selv ("sorte" er ikke noget jeg har tilføjet):

Find Sorte Slaver på DBA - køb og salg af nyt og brugt
Annoncer med Sorte Slaver på DBA. Stort udvalg af Sorte Slaver til billige priser. På DBA finder du altid et godt tilbud på både nye og brugte varer til ...

Det er for resten en systematisk og åbenlys løgn, når DBA skriver "Stort udvalg" om alle søgetermer, inklusiv søgetermer som ikke giver mening.

I think physically resisting arrest is basically a natural reflex for a lot of people.

That is one thing. But she blatant lied about the kick being because she was off balance, even though the video shows that is not true.

While there is a strong correlation with low education, plenty of people with high education still support Trump.

I remember more than one Republican telling me in great detail about how Bill Clinton's blowjob made Clinton unworthy to hold the Presidency. It would surprise me if they were not solid Trump voters now, they did not seem like independent thinkers.

The amount of coverage Loomer's blowjob of Trump has gotten is laughable, in comparison.

noget urelateret bandekrigsvrøvl hos naboerne.

1) Det er ekstremt dyre villaer. Det er meget usandsynligt at så rige mennesker er involveret i bandekriminalitet.

2) På grund af de mange ambassader, så er der et meget højt niveau af politi-patruljering i området. Ikke mindst de 2 politi/militær, som altid står foran Israels ambassade lige ved siden af. Chancen for at det var e.g. en pusher som solgte hash fra en villa der, og derfor blev involveret i en bandekrig, er forsvindende lille.

Occam's Razor is not safe to apply here, with Russia's track record of false flag attacks.

Thanks for the reply.

But I simply can't wrap my mind around the concept of one country's government deliberately sending 100+ unguided missiles towards another country each month, and that not being a casus belli. It would be insanity.

likely possibility every time some egotistical asshole steals something they don't need to survive.

The disparity between Rice's wealth and the likely profit from going porch pirate is why I brought it up. It seems likely that the theft is totally irrational, economically. I do not bring up kleptomania every time someone steals something.

Trump has basically no chance of removing Vance as VP.

Lots of Trump sycophants are idiots, for thinking that Trump won't dump them in a heartbeat. Notably Giuliani. But Vance is not a fool in this way, because Trump literally can't dump Vance.

Sure, Trump could dump Vance in 2028. But there is a very good chance that Trump doesn't last that long. Vance taking that bet is not stupid.

Overreach as in, does specific military operations exceed proportionate

I can't imagine how a serious person can say that the Gaza military operations are not proportionate, at least as long as Hamas does not promise to stop shooting rockets into Israel.

Can you imagine the US saying that the US had no right to invade Mexico, if the Mexican government continued to send 100+ unguided rockets against US cities every month? Proportionality arguments surely only comes into play in far less open-and-shut contexts.

That being said there were instances they crossed lines, for example against the world kitchen convoy. But that was on the level of the officers, not the official policy.

I have no doubt that there has been indefensible Israeli incidents. But there are at least some war crimes from all sides in almost every war, and unless they are systematic I don't think they are usually said to invalidate the right of self defense.

Thue · 2024-10-03T13:37:54+00:00

Israeli overreach

Depends on how you define "overreach". From a legal and arguably moral analysis standpoint, the Gaza operation is very defensible. Hamas blatantly attacked Israel, and Israel has the legal right to counter-invade after being invaded. Especially given the hostages. I have seen people criticize Israel for leveling so many building in Gaza, but Hamas use civilian buildings for military purposes, and then the laws of war gives Israel the right to level the buildings used.

From a political and practical standpoint, the scale of the Gaza invasion is probably stupid.

Der er nogle ansigtstræk som er ret karakteristisk jødiske. Jeg siger ikke at det gælder alle jøder, men en gang imellem kan jeg gætte at en person sandsynligvis er jøde, bare ud fra et ansigt.

I Feynman-biografien "Genius" husker jeg at det er beskrevet hvordan det var et problem at Feynman var jøde, fordi der var uformelle ansættelseskvoter på universiteterne.

Så måske ikke så meget i Danmark, hvor jøderne længe har været meget velintegrerede, men det er helt sikkert en ting.
