In the US elections are run by the states, and unfortunately a certain consistent set of them are well known for making it extremely difficult for certain groups of people to vote. Since voter ids would be given by the states, there is historical evidence to suggest those specific states can not be trusted to not use said ids as a way to discriminate against those they do not want to vote.
> It's a cult built around feelings and imagination at this point, not logic and reality.
Sounds like a cult that would use memes and social media to indoctrinate children, start crazy conspiracy theories about pizza, conspire with foreign governments, and suppress opponents votes though arbitrary requirements.
No one said the other side is innocent. There is corruption and manipulation on all sides. One side, however, is clearly more corrupt and manipulative than the other. (And of course I'm referring to the democratic party here.)
Here's a question for you: What's going with Epstein? Why is there a painting of Bill Clinton in a dress at Epstein's? Is this the same Bill Clinton who lied to the entire world and said, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"?
Again, you're being lied to and manipulated, as usual.
> suppress opponents votes though arbitrary requirements
If you think proof of citizenship is an arbitrary requirement to vote, you're a brainwashed tool used by people much smarter than you. Do you really think it would be okay for me to travel to another country and vote in their elections without me actually being a citizen of that country?
I'm being manipulated and the way you go about explaining this actually used the phase "Bill Clinton in a dress" and I'm just supposed to listen to you with a straight face?
If this particular sentence is what your brain focuses on to prevent it from seeing the truth and unraveling everything you think you know about the world, then you may be too far gone at this point.
So the answer is to throw our hands in the air and give up because our ancestors did something we now to be extremely harmful so we have to let everyone else do it too?
And what would be your proposal? Bolsonaro will only listen when the scummy people who supports him (and I'm talking about business, not the voters) get hurt in their pockets.
>We find that the ban worked for Reddit. More accounts than expected discontinued using the site; those that stayed drastically decreased their hate speech usage—by at least 80%. Though many subreddits saw an influx of r/fatpeoplehate andr/CoonTown “migrants,” those subreddits saw no significant changes in hate speech usage. In other words,other subreddits did not inherit the problem. We conclude by reflecting on the apparent success of the ban,discussing implications for online moderation, Reddit and internet communities more broadly
You think the platform from which hate is banned is a wide enough context to judge success?
I guess if you ban hate speech on reddit you will be successful on reddit. Do we think people who are banned take up religion and become good samaritans?
Considering fingerprint analysis is pseudoscience and almost entirely made up (along with most other "forensic science") [1] [2] we can assume LOTS AND LOTS of innocent people are caught with "fingerprint data"
>"There is some evidence that fingerprints are unique to each person, and it is plausible that careful analysis could accurately discern whether two prints have a common source, the report says. However, claims that these analyses have zero-error rates are not plausible; uniqueness does not guarantee that two individuals' prints are always sufficiently different that they could not be confused, for example. Studies should accumulate data on how much a person's fingerprints vary from impression to impression, as well as the degree to which fingerprints vary across a population. With this kind of research, examiners could begin to attach confidence limits to conclusions about whether a print is linked to a particular person."
>Considering fingerprint analysis is pseudoscience and almost entirely made up
Quite the stretch to go from "non-zero-error rates" to "made up pseudoscience" isn't it?
It's a problem if people are being convicted on fingerprint analysis alone. But as a piece of the puzzle, when combined with other evidence, what is the issue?
I remember listening to a segment on NPR where it was claimed this was already solved and the "sonic attacks" were actually caused by a specific species of cricket:
>I haven't figured out how they are still releasing a new game every year - they really should be releasing every season, or really, every team, as a DLC. The content is where it is at, not the engine.
This is easy. People pay full price every year for the new version which contains a bare minimum of changes compared to the previous (not including the roster changes). Why would they cut that gravy train off? Presumably a yearly DLC would not be priced as a full game.
