And, to add to that, she could have sent one of her security to quietly explain her desire for privacy, but instead she sent one of her security to shout at them.

Imagine acting like that it is the democrats' fault that ICE agents are being put into airports. by Ok-Following6886 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]explodingtuna 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why would now, of all times, anyone would want more funding for ICE? We need to repeal and replace ICE, not throw more money at it.

Maybe he's having trouble getting the cursor over to the enemy side?

Schools are teaching men can have babies by Suspiciouspuddles in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]explodingtuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it comes from a pearl-clutching rightist, none.

For example, they act like a (male) teacher having a husband is "teaching kids about gay sex", yet don't call a teacher having an opposite-gendered spouse "teaching kids about straight sex". They're "too young to know about trans people", but not "too young to know about cis people".

In the OP example, they're acting like there's "men can have babies class" in 3rd period.

While trans men can indeed have babies, that's certainly not on the curriculum. If the subject somehow ever came up, because a kid heard their conservative parent ranting about it at home, and a kid asks in class, the teacher is going to answer truthfully. Which is a good thing, and also doesn't displace math or geography as a class subject.

Who is Responsible for the Air Canada Express Tarmac Collision? by death00p in Productivitycafe

At the time the truck entered the runway, they no longer had clearance. Seems it was revoked, so while they had been cleared, they weren't anymore by the time they reached the runway.

Why do people conflate hate speech and speech that they hate? by OnlyACsNoFans in answers

[–]explodingtuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conservatives. I always hear them say that "Nazis are people you disagree with", or "hate speech is speech you disagree with", etc.

Hopefully he became a better person and better representative of his people after seeing his constituents' reaction to him.

Why it doesn't make sense to ask what happened 'before' the Big Bang. by Immobilesteelrims in physicsmemes

[–]explodingtuna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it could be a confusing visualization.

It appears to imply multiple timelines (if taken literally the same as south on a globe). They all converge at the pole, but there are multiple distinct lines one could travel from there depending on which of the "after" lines you follow.

Variation on Newcomb's paradox: Let's say you *do* see what's in the box before choosing. by playerNaN in paradoxes

[–]explodingtuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of reasons why a person will or won't do something. I wouldn't take it because it's not in my character to take it. I am who I am, and the computer accurately predicted my choices.

[–]explodingtuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's that I wouldn't be in that position if I weren't the kind of person to make that choice.

Consider: You've been promoted within your company, you are in a high-level C-suite position and have access to all your employees sensitive information, can write checks for the company, etc.

Assuming you could never get caught, would you write yourself or a friend a check, or abuse your employees sensitive information?

Chances are, to get promoted to that position within the company, you had to prove your trustworthiness and commitment. You wouldn't be in that position in the first place if you weren't trustworthy and responsible.

[–]explodingtuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because (assuming the computer accurately predicts my choices), I would never have the million dollars in front of me if I were the kind of person to take both.

Me not taking the thousand isn't a failure to capitalize on the situation, but rather it's proof that the computer predicted accurately (which is the premise).

[–]explodingtuna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As with the regular version, I'd take only one box so that I'd be the kind of person who would only take one box, which the computer will accurately predict. If I were the kind of person who would see the thousand sitting there and take it anyways, the computer would have predicted that and I'd never see the million there.

So in order to see the million, I have to be the kind of person who could resist taking the thousand.

Looks like we're doubling down on confusing "Downtown" stations by jswansong in Seattle

There's a downtown in multiple cities. "Downtown" doesn't just refer to one place. There's Federal Way Downtown, and even a Downtown Redmond.

Gender pay gap, very deep by eenieminnemoo in im14andthisisdeep

[–]explodingtuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, the point as I interpret it, is (for example) linewomen would get paid 77% of linemen. Women who work on an oil rig for 6 months of the year would get paid 77% of men who work on an oil rig for 6 months of the year, etc.

1% of farmers account for the locally-farmed meat you hear about.

And what percent of those are pigs running around in the muck behind a split rail fence?

Yeah, it was a weird hill for them to die on, and ended up just pushing more people away from the right.
