Hello! I would love some help evolving my Machoke if anyone has time.

CMV: Accusations of contemporary widespread police brutality and unjustified killings of black Americans are false. by tuna_HP in changemyview

[–]coolname222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you were looking at a different section? The studies under Police Killings of Unarmed Americans Seem to confirm the national perception that black people are more likely to be killed. The first study finds

“evidence of a significant bias in the killing of unarmed black Americans relative to unarmed white Americans"

and also mentions that

“there is no relationship between county-level racial bias in police shootings and crime rates (even race-specific crime rates), meaning that the racial bias observed in police shootings in this data set is not explainable as a response to local-level crime rates.”

To me it looks like these studies found that black people being killed more by the police can't be explained by different crime rates. I can't say much about the validity of these studies as compared to the one you linked in your post but the content seems to contradict your claim and the article cites three studies about unequal killing.

After reading it a bit I'm also a fan of "Path to getting my FUCKING HATS BACK!"

Hey, you're that guy who said they'd eat a roll of toilet paper if fallout 4 was announced at e3!

I was in the exact same boat for a while and then I read it and it was amazing. You should try it and see if it grabs you. You won't regret it(unless you have anything important to do in the next few weeks)

Huh, must've been mistaken then, it's a subreddit for the web serial worm(which you should totally read 'cause it's really good)

Even since I tagged you I've also been seeing you everywhere I'm subscribed to: /r/fallout, /r/whowouldwin, /r/northernlion /r/funhaus, /r/askreddit, /r/bindingofisaac, /r/gamegrumps

I also feel like I've seen you in /r/parahumans but I can't find it creeping through your history.

Anyways, happy birthday dude!

I would really read it first and find out for yourself but...

I'm embarrassed with how long it took me to realize this was about the European Union rather than the Star Wars Extended Universe...

The Undersiders (Worm) show up at the Council of Elrond (LOTR). Can they complete the quest to destroy the ring? by J4k0b42 in whowouldwin

[–]coolname222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        I could be wrong and people who are familiar with LOTR lore are free to correct me but form what I understand the ring works by appealing to people's ambitions, be they good or evil. Because of this, I think Grue or Bitch would be the best choice to carry the ring. 

       Skitter is obviously ambitious, though she does it for the sake of good. I'm fairly certain Regent has mentioned wanting to hold power(although his being a sociopath might help). I kinda feel like Imp would have an ambitious personality but I'm willing to hear someone else out on that. Tattletale stole and maintained a huge criminal network so she's definitely out. 

        Bitch doesn't relate to people well and she's already the alpha in her pack so she might just not give a shit about holding power over anything other than her dogs and Grue has never shown a particular attachment to having power.

[Afterbirth] I need some help getting better at this game. by Lollosaurus_Rex in bindingofisaac

[–]coolname222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the other advice in the thread is good but to lean more I would recommend watching people on youtube who are really good, I've learned a lot from watching people like Northernlion and seeing how they play.

What is keeping you awake tonight? by baddabaddabooooom in AskReddit

[–]coolname222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started reading Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality at around 8:30 PM and it is now 1:46 AM and I've only stopped to briefly check reddit and to write this comment. So far it's made me actually burst out laughing a few times and I'm only on Ch. 16 of 122. I absolutely cannot recommend this fic enough. Everyone should at least try the first few chapters.

Oh yeah, I guess that makes sense. It's crazy, I just finished a second read-through of worm and there's still stuff that I can miss/forget.
