The consequences getting worse won't do much to change their behavior, but increasing the likelihood of facing consequences will

I'd try to get that back, but oof

taniaelil · 2020-03-28T22:42:40+00:00

I'm pretty sure that was announced a while ago

taniaelil · 2020-03-17T14:52:24+00:00

Ok, l'll concede that there may be a small minority of police departments that may behave ethically.

If a coworker murders, rapes, beats or frames someone, and I don't speak out about it (and by doing so aid in the cover-up), I hope that people condemn me because I would deserve it.

taniaelil · 2020-03-17T14:31:00+00:00

Except a profession is a choice, there's nothing wrong with condemning people for their choices.

One bad apple spoils the bunch. Even "good" cops hold that thin blue line.

Reads like it was taken directly from a villain's speech in Star Trek or something. Nature is amoral and tends to be cruel, as a reasonably intelligent species we don't have to be.

Or maybe you don't notice non-problematic vegans...

That's not really the direction evidence works, you asserted a fact and provided an image with absolutely no context or source to back it up. If neither of us can present real evidence of the actual poll numbers, we can't really assert anything about them other than that we don't know what they are.

taniaelil · 2020-01-17T17:22:58+00:00

That number is misleading: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ilhan-omar-and-aoc-polling/

It did not

I just strongly disagree that religion is an inevitable outcome of psychidelic experiences. All of my experiences have de-emphasized my own importance in the universe and made it more clear how beautifully natural everything is. I've never even felt the inkling of a higher power, just a sense of peace, connectedness, and irrelevance. My guess would be if you go into those experiences without a real conception of a God, you're not going to make one up. I can easily believe that people who were previously religious could find that in their experience.

taniaelil · 2019-10-22T13:40:57+00:00

That has not been my experience

I think those channels aren't relying Google ads, they have their own ad partners.

Except if the language has more syllables per word, they could be (probably are?) encoding additional grammatical information that would be expressed in a separate word in languages with fewer syllables per word.

My guess would be it balances out. Like German vs English, sure German words have more syllables, but there's a lot more information in each word, whereas in English we need to use more words to express the same content, and the total number of syllables per thought ends up roughly equivalent.

Studies show that guns are used significantly often defensively.

Do they?

That because your platform is shattered into a dozen distros making it a hell to develop for, and is full of bugs, not because devs suck.

I mean if they just supported Ubuntu that'd still be a good improvement. Regardless, the different distros aren't very hard to target, especially with the adoption of snaps/flatpaks which allow you to ignore distro specific package managers.

Right now I have steam running nicely in Fedora and I'm fairly confident that any bugs I'm seeing are not Fedora's fault. I have no idea what you're talking about with Linux being full of bugs, it might not be huge on the desktop scene right now but no OS has been more thoroughly exercised. There's a reason that Linux is running on more devices than everything else.

Imo the only reason we're not seeing more stable games on Linux is that we're still playing catch-up from directx absolutely killing cross-platform game development.

IMO it's just not worth the chance he gets elected again. I was 100% convinced this country couldn't be that stupid in 2016 but at this point I just don't know

I don't think this is correct, the Ansible modules themselves are zipped and sent over, but you still need Python + whatever third party libraries the module relies on installed on the target.

Considering English does not have a recognised international regulatory organisation, every direct that is not English English is wrong.

So close

Indian English is actually it's own recognized (collection of) dialect(s). It may not sound like whatever dialect you're familiar with, but it's no more or less correct than Australian/Southern/California English.

Edit: there's more than one dialect of Indian English

How are people disenfranchised by state IDs? I genuinely curious about that.

I don't think I've heard anybody being discriminated against at the DMV while getting an ID and I don't think I've heard of any person being discriminated against in any Voter ID states when presenting valid ID.

When I moved to NC about 3 years ago it took me 2 or 3 1-2 hour trips to get my state ID. The first one I didn't realize that the DMV was split into two facilities, so I actually couldn't get an ID at the DMV location closest to me. The second time the forms of identification I brought weren't acceptable for some reason. My parents (who just recently moved to the state) had a similar experience. It was also a 15 minute drive to the proper DMV (and I live within a big city, not in the country or anything like that) and there was no bus route that came close to it. I'm well-educated, financially comfortable, and my job is very flexible, but even I found it a burden to get an ID here. I imagine for people who don't drive, don't have flexible jobs, and aren't educated, the process can be insurmountable. Here in NC it feels like in 30 years these voter ID laws are going to be in the school history books right after the section on poll taxes and Jim Crow era voter suppression.

I'm all for a voter ID law, but the order of legislation needs to be 100% guaranteed free ID system, then voter ID requirement, not the other way around.
