If doubt that legal action is going to do anything here. Most of the cheat developers are far away from the arms of American law.

I believe that the rule goes that for any popular "story" based subreddit with no verification, assume that 99% of the content is False. The more popular the subreddit, the faster this converges. These villain-based story subs typ

Speedrunners don't do that, for one. They don't generally go searching for diamonds, only grabbing them if it's in an easy location like a chest.

>It seems incredibly unlikely that there wasn't some sort of verbal provocation from Rittenhouse's side. At that time tempers were already flaring nationwide and I find both the above, as well as it's inverse, plausible. M

Well, I personally had a >2 week long reaction, and after the second shot, was informed that yes, it probably was some sort of allergic reaction. What was it? We still don't know Regarding correlations between the two, it's a b

Video evidence and the sworn testimony of two seems like a pretty strong case here.

Yep, Phylogenetic boundaries and the clades are entirely arbitrary constructs. Useful, but don't treat them as though they have absolute meaning as they're essentially a discretization of a continuous process with all the limitati

One of the more common causes of vaccine related injury is allergic reaction to one or more of the adjuvant or carriers, rather than to the antigenic load.

So, that's illegal, for one thing. Judges can overrule the jury in a civil case, and only if they determine that "no reasonable jury could have reached the given verdict". However, that's null here, as this is a Criminal

Something I've found interesting is that the arguments deployed against Rittenhouse are pretty analogous to victim-blaming in rape cases. - Rittenhouse did something legal, but risky and potentially foolhardy. - An external agent inter

My takeaway is very different from yours as to where ultimate fault lies. Maybe enforcement should do their job so children don't have to try to do their job for them.

I think the big question that we have to ask ourselves is, in the contest between the right of speech of the individual and that of private corporations; Where, if ever, do we draw the line when the latter erodes that of the former.

I'm not sure if we're talking past each other here. Going to clarify my opinion on this a bit. - Facebook is generally considered in colloquial terms, a "platform". - Expectations by the users are thus that Facebook (the

Agreed. The problem is that when the government is derelict in it's duty (or, if critical mass of people believe so), this is the expected outcome. If people lose faith in the government to protect them, they're not going to roll

I'd agree with you, but we hold publishers liable to whatever they publish. My understanding is as follows. As a platform, the rationale for section 230 protections is that you are not the one making the comments, and are thus just a p

They made that decision themselves. This isn't a case where they attacked him and then he pulled out a pistol and shot them. This was open carry with a rifle. To answer the point you made, they made the decision to attack a clearly arm

Sure, and once it's making it's own opinion dominant, it should no longer be treated as a platform, but a publisher.

Is it really a healthy democracy if the flows of information are controlled from the top down? If I provide you with a tuned set of information in which everything says what I cant, I can get you to believe whatever I want. This is just cha

Said dead people should also not have been there. But they didn't. They were there, he was there, but they made the even worse decision to attack him. At that point, self defense is justifiable. Any argument that Rittenhouse should not

It is however, very much a follow the incentives kinda situation. Just as the monetary incentive can also bring about many unwanted behaviour. The pride /publication based incentives introduce their own flavour of dysfunction.

Is Twitter's ad targeting bad, or are you an outlier case. If I'd use myself as an example, with a company with generally considered "good" ad-targeting (GOOG), I get really odd ads like those for spinal implants. It cou

If it was about identity verification, the process should certainly not be reversible for "moral" reasons. Rather, I would expect some notability cutoff as the requirement for the blue letter. As it stands now, the manner in which

I often see this line of thought come up whether topics like this float around and wonder: how can we demonstrate /quantify /prove this. Especially since I'm already partial to agreement.

It is pretty annoying. I tried daily driving Firefox for some time, and found it inferior to chrome, though if you'd ask me to define exactly why, I wouldn't be able to do so. However, when an update wiped my profile, requiring ma

Gladly, as far as hostility goes. The "hatred" was a rhetorical flourish about the relationship between the left and the right, as drawn from their media presence, as well as the general trend on left-aligned circles across social
