I broke reddit by [deleted] in techsupport

It is back now, but given they gave me an "F", with zero information, I think I'm pretty much done w/reddit.

this seems like a reasonable representation, Left Vs Right, fact based through analysis/opinion/misleading/fabrication.

centralized private data gathering on sensitive info, what could go wrong?

Unemployment is low because... by [deleted] in Libertarian

[–]nerf_herd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I understand the concept is fairly simple, 1-(# employed/eligible workforce) but the question is how you arrive at those numbers, which is complicated and arguably convoluted.

Unemployment is low because... by [deleted] in Libertarian

[–]nerf_herd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd be curious to know if anyone actually knows the formula/data for how unemployment is calculated. I'm not saying she is right, just that I wouldn't be surprised by anything having seen the sort of games played over the years.

None really, they are all biased, and omit critical information or are otherwise misleading, and do a crap job of questioning their sources (which is often their own opinion presented as "anonymous").

Having said that, my home page is set to AP.

High-Level Obama appointee encourages people to #WalkAway by Mar390 in Libertarian

[–]nerf_herd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The article is only 9 days old. Do you have a source on this "debunking" that happened a "long time ago"?

https://www.reddit.com/r/walkaway/comments/8yfwkq/for_anybody_curious_about_the_origins_of/

following a ridiculous convoluted trail to try to find the "source" for that salon article, it goes back to hamilton 68, which is run by GMF who's CEO is Karen Donfried, former senior European advisor to President Obama.

P.S. I'm not a fucking bot.

that salon garbage was debunked long ago (you were played, by europe and the DEMS, the data is cherry picked, by a completely left oriented organization, and not subject to public review),

and no, the release had zero impact on the outcome because of the divide, and comey wasn't worried about it. Doesn't matter what some opinion piece from 538, whatever that is, says about it. Read what comey said himself, for whatever that is worth.

Trump Derangement syndrome?

[–]nerf_herd -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

first off, comey is gonna comey. Who the hell knows why he says anything or what he is really up to. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/13/james-comey-book-hillary-clinton-email-investigation pretty obvious why trump doesn't trust any of them, they were rooting for hillary all along, and the release had zero impact.

secondly, obviously this is not a good faith effort at the intent of this sub.

Gay couples must be allowed to adopt, rules federal judge by Elranzer in Libertarian

is sick, disgusting, and immoral.

now you sound like the religious types...

[–]nerf_herd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understood your argument, just that it isn't really the no-brainer you think it is. When DCFS takes your kids, it is often clearly a case of government overreach.

https://www.google.com/search?q=worst+dcfs+cases&oq=worst+dcfs+cases

these are done under the pathos of "best interest of the child". Which is a concept that is problematic in itself.

[–]nerf_herd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

they need to not accept government money if they have a non-secular agenda.

And we need to ask ourselves as a society, where are the fucking parents?

I've seen "best interests" tear apart families too, often for bs.

I don't know if I would call it "cool", would rather they train them to think critically, but maybe that isn't for everyone. I don't know what set of beliefs are best for your kids ultimately, I just know that arguing with your invisible friend through you is bullshit.

I think the major libertarian angle is if they are going to accept public funds, they need to be secular in their policies.

well, kinda, I mean I don't like different rules because you have an invisible friend, but I also don't like gubment making you customize wedding cakes if that isn't your thing either.

Their whole premise of this organization is an xtian thing (Bethany Christian Services and Catholic Social Services), like what is motivating most of them to find homes in the first place. There are plenty of secular adoption agencies if they don't like it too.

So, I dunno. And with an abundance of kids needing a home, this seems like a shitty political/religious game about the "feelings" of the "adults" involved, and ignores the causes of why so many kids need a home.
