I think the point is that the comorbidities aren't mentioned when talking about COVID deaths. The statistics are being presented as though it's random chance who dies from it, instead of it being reported as something that primari

Here's a site that did something similar, starting in 2006 with a kit where you could call the plant to get info about it[1]. Back when ThinkGeek was a thing, I remember them selling kits to send out tweets about plant water levels. [1

It's definitely political messaging, but the linked PDF says that political messaging is only banned if it's associated with a specific campaign or candidate.

So which of "candidate, campaign, or political party" is it? The Biden and Trump campaigns openly supported the military.

A "thin blue line" flag also doesn't fit any of the banned criteria. You guys are basically saying that supporting police and military is only done by republicans.

This part seems incorrect: > There are strict laws regulating police and poll workers while the polls are open. Police are not allowed within 100 feet of the polling location, unless they're actively voting or there on official busi

Pretty much. After Biden was announced as the winner, people were posting pictures on conservative subreddits showing thousands of people celebrating in the streets, and they said "It sucks that Biden won, but at least covid is over&qu

I don't doubt that Biden won, but it's not like there's zero evidence for voter fraud. A USPS employee was recently arrested for trying to take absentee ballots out of the country, another in PA said that he was told to back

I wonder what the percentage of people calling for violence was. The article says there were 300k group members, and FB only said that "some" were calling for violence. You can find "some" people calling for violence in

It makes me feel like shipping it overseas was a way to keep from having to deal with it. If we have to deal with our own garbage, then maybe we'll care about reducing the amount we produce.

The "wage gap" is the one I see most often. It's presented in a way that makes it seem like women get paid significantly less than men, but in reality there's almost no gap when you account for the same position and expe

Even the "CoC experts" in the post say that trying to codify acceptable behavior is the wrong way to do it. You just end up with overly broad rules like "be nice" because there is no way to write a CoC that covers what i

I agree with all of that, except for the part about a CS degree. When I was in the military, a General was talking to us about the officers that they had doing pentesting, and they said that the people with CS and other tech degrees were us

Couldn't agree more, and Gemini sounds very interesting. Even if it probably won't be a huge thing, it's nice to know that there are people who haven't just decided to roll over and accept the current state and direction
