The presence of illegal immigrants does not, in fact, mean we have to go looking for them. It definitely does not mean we have to break the law while doing so. Also it's weird how the group that used to talk about personal responsibi

How much "good thing [we] do" is based on anticipated reward has been a topic of debate for roughly as long as we've had language, but I'll take anything that convinces people like that to actually care about people othe

Just curiously, what do you personally get out of lying constantly in this thread?

And what exactly is that way? Semi-official paramilitary groups harassing americans? Desperate attempts to demonize minorities? Threats to prevent future elections? Trade wars that fuck over the american economy and moronic foreign policy t

Your metaphor is slightly insane but I agree with the conclusion 100%. People who try to segregate every single line of text into a completely seperate walled off space is incredibly annoying, if for no other reason than real conversations

No but for a while we were required to pay amazon when we implemented a way to save payment details on a website.

Because to verify something is correct you have to understand the what makes it correct which is 99% of writing the code in the first place.

Awhh, I love the movie also. Could be a nostalgia thing but it's just fun. Val kilmer is basically always great and it's a nice mix of sort of spy movie tropes while having fun with it.

I agree, but you've already mentioned the issues with the government having a punishment system that isn't based on the courts. We all know how great the secret no-fly list is.

Yes, but we're not talking about whether or not bike thefts happen, or medicare frauds, we're talking about what actions we're going to take in the future. I too have had a bike stolen and it was an incredibly awful experienc

Just to clarify, are these the ones who got arrested and sent to prison?

If a tree falls and no human hears it did it make a noise?

Yeah that part was a bit weird. Is he trying to avoid being sued or something?

Reality makes some people angry and listening to trump lie makes then feel good again.

Well, we live in a world where someone ran for president on the basis of "stopping welfare fraud" that turned out to be mostly a myth, so, you know, context is a thing. As the article literally says, a whole bunch of people got se

I'm working on making it a thing, but my theory is that power can't be destroyed, merely transferred, and in most cases I'd rather have the power be vested in a democratic government.

by wredcoll 8mo ago
Except the article does mention a whole bunch of people who were investigated, arrested and convicted. So again, now what? Are they supposed to hire more investigators? Work harder? Require less evidence? What part of the system is supposed

My take is that we lack granular punishments. Right now we have either some form of fine, and while this can be incredibly painful, usually is not, then we go straight to like multiyear prison sentences, with perhaps a few suspended sentenc

Ahh, reminds me of the classic appeal. "If you don't do <fascist thing> now, the real fascists will take over!"

What is it with people feeling compelled to talk about starship troopers movie being different (lesser) than the book? Like, there's not that much to the book. It's a decently written "joins the military" story with a co

Mortal Kombat ost had a ridiculous influence on my childhood music tastes, another absolutely amazing sound track is The Saint, check out the artists involved.

So what is supposed to change based on that? Pay more for better fraud investigators? Accept a lower burden of proof like stripe et al do? What's the take away here?
475.
by wredcoll 8mo ago
My ultimate take on the article is "so what?" Yes, fraud is bad. I agreed before I read the article. I've learned (from the article) that there was apparently some fraud in Minnesota, some of which was successfully prosecuted

by wredcoll 8mo ago
Look, this is a mostly reasonable, if slightly vague, article about investigating fraud and mechanisms by which you do so. What it lacks is any concrete suggestion as to what should change, beyond some vague allusions that perhaps racial&#x

Except for the part where when asked for proof he laughed off the idea of using convictions as a measure of accuracy.

"the history of the midwest" seems awfully specific and easy to redefine as required. That being said, it was a fairly interesting article about fraud in general, but if this is the only fraud article he wrote, why is that? There&

Are we now required to ignore the majority of trump related crimes just so we can we report an equal number or something?
