Nothing wrong with distrust of the CCP and their companies.

Well if its any inconvenience to you, your comment encouraged me to donate again to the ACLU.

My turn: if one cop in a crowd of 1000 commits an act of brutality, then it's well within our rights to defund them all.

Ok you're right, let me just go back to the 60s and inform people doing sit-ins that they have it all mixed up. > Everyone is fine with signs in parks ... Yes! You're getting it! The point is for people to NOT be fine with it

One side is state sanctioned, you don't see why that might be important? And I'm absolutely willing to bet that more _people_, not property have been injured by police than protesters.

The majority of Americans feel protesters' anger is justified https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/documents/monmout... . And by the way, the point of protests is not to leave when people ask you to.

I'm guessing there's really nothing that would convince you that your views just aren't as popular with reddit's audience as you think. You'll have more luck with the Facebook 5G truther crowd.

I'm shocked, shocked to find that a bunch of college-aged males are pushing narratives such as legalizing weed on you. Must be DNC bots.

Why even lie like this. r/unpopularopinion is basically conservative talking points 101 for instance. Do you seriously think posting "I don't think the means of production should be seized" will get you banned from r&#x2

Maybe it would be more accurate to say the winners don't care about war crimes.

Huh, there were lots of posts/comments about how the Hasidic community has dealt with coronavirus, mostly condemning them.

Yeah it's crazy that he's allowed to do this after only being free for a year. People get their balls busted by probation for years after doing much, much less significant crimes.

That's great. Picking Scandinavia over China (CCP really) should be a no-brainer, if you care about who you're doing business with.

Clear the area how? I think people have forgotten this doesn't need to mean your first step is pulling out the batons. If you tell a journalist they are under arrest, they will always comply. They won't fight back. So yes, still c

Honestly cannot tell if you're trolling. If journalists are getting roughed up more because of sensationalism (still well within their 1st amendment rights) that is _completely_ the fault of police. One side has cameras. The other side

Because god forbid this country's descent into fascism is discussed instead of the newest cli tool to be rewritten in rust.

Because unfortunately, good leadership is so rare now that seeing it "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". I myself just went through the five stages of grief realizing that we're supposed to have presidents that can

German cops fired 85 bullets _total_ in 2011. Florida cops shot almost 200 bullets into a UPS truck, killing a hostage and bystander in 2019.

Good thing those good people in the police force are doing everything they can to rat out the bad ones and restore their reputation. Oops.

Yes - the actual phrase is "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer".

Yup, I'd love if we were able to be a unified front and collectively say the mayhem will not stop until all four involved are charged. And if they're not convicted... 1992 will look like a joke.

It's history and it's the present. You sound like the people who claim racism must be over since Obama was elected.

I wouldn't be too happy, but to me violence is damaging a living thing. Not property.

Damaging property is not violence.

Some people are using autotune as a stylistic choice (for instance Travis Scott and T-pain way before that) which I think is kinda cool.

I mostly feel uncomfortable that we've fallen to the point where the president is pretty brazenly trying to undermine a democratic election.

Yes I understand how quotations work. Not sure why it coming from someone who hasn't been involved in the project for 18 years is supposed to carry any more weight than usual Breitbart garbage.

Discussion about the paper a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21084748 . Conclusion seemed to be that the comparison against Mathematica was unfair since Mathematica's execution time was capped at 30s.
