That’s a smoke screen. Another is the “liberal brainwashing machine” school system scare. What they fear is the statistic that higher educated individuals trend towards populism and progressivism. They see higher education of youths as a threat to their political base, which turns into “spineless parents sending kids to liberul brainwashing camps funded by the gubmnt.”

The ghost of Reagan?

And you get to make one of those cute “Resolved; for record keeping” tickets to fill out your day :) This is why I actually give out my direct line. If anyone gets upset at not being able to reach me, I can just say tons of people have that same number and are trying to reach me, and I’m never bored from 8-5

Not to mention that if he is off of any 1 ballot and loses, he has ammunition for another Jan6. If he has a “fair shot” and loses, there is less plausibility and (hopefully) fewer followers in the repeat.

Which this probably is if they want to pack as much data as possible in one unit.

Some retired old fart who can’t be bothered to learn fancy-schmancy Web 2.0. Rock on like it’s '93

Not entirely. Statistics are a powerful tool, and their primary purpose is to discern order from entropy. We expect that, much like spilled marbles, the universe should form like scattered, chaotic clumps of density and sparseness with no rhyme or reason save the relatively simple interractions through gravitational forces. And it’s also those forces that dictate the simple repeating structures of disk-shaped clusters orbiting a point called a galaxy, who’s inner workings are, statistically, as chaotic as water molecules swirling in microgravity without breaking surface tension. Finding highly ordered structures under the scale of a galaxy and greater than a lightyear would to any statistician look like an outlier of the highest order and worth looking into.

Now as a layperson, I could see 100 billion marbles forming many shapes we would consider going against entropy, but if a statistician goes “oh that’s odd,” then it’s probably significant.

You generalize westerners quite a lot. You think we don’t have a shrewed eye for the corporate and political interests around us that influence our lives directly? I can clearly see that you box people into the “us and them” categories and judge others at a glance. “Think for yourself” indeed. To the fool, anyone they see is a fool first, until proven otherwise.

It’s mass media. It’s all “propoganda” for someone’s interest whenever money or an agenda is involved. Click here. Read more. Sponsored by. You’re not smart for whatabouting a South Korean source who indeed would put their interests first like any other source of for-profit media. They all do it. And not just in the “western capitalist empire” either.

So I ask again, what is different about this article that I couldn’t find anywhere else with other narratives besides where the info comes from? Or is it solely that it is the western narrative that you seem to tire of?

Would you like to present examples from the text to prove your point? Or am I to take your worldview as fact because you’re the angriest and loudest in the room?

Wow. You have a very interesting worldview. Do you also feel that chinese propoganda should not be watched in the US or is this a one-way “down with western imperialism” street?

I’d pay $60 for a second slot.

I’ve wanted to do this for some time, but everyone tells me there’s no way to make it work without constantly updating the blacklist. Is it really such a hassle?

Actually, that may not be a face of disgust. That cat is inducing the scent into their mucus ducts behind their 2 large top canines. They channel up into the nose, and unlike humans and dogs, cats are scentblind to anything airborn, and need to encorporate the chemicals into a fluid. It takes them a second of “mouth breathing” after smelling a thing to trigger the scent response in their brain. I had a cat that made the most disgusted face whenever we gave her wet food, but then she always burried her snout straight to the bottom of the tin.

That’s okay. I hear they do punch cards now. Only a matter of time.

Gmap data is dated around sensitive sites and they have to request DoD clearance to update that type of sat imagery, and even then objects can be blurred or even photoshopped by the DoD before google is allowed to post the update, and by then any intel even unedited is OBE. It makes sense that a country would want their own, up-to-date system.

Linux: You got this far! I’m sure you’ll figure it out, champ!

The word you’re looking for is schadenfreude

So… We… -DO- want a ceasefire…? Joey, lay it out straight…

It makes sense if you’re in an industry with hotspot flare-ups. I work MSP IT and those morning meeting are the way my team asks for help on pressing issues, or rings the alarm bells on business impacting outages. Additionally, Tier I helpdesk and Tier III projects never communicate, so the SUM is where T1 hears about where projects are at (in case they get the breakfix for that item) and T3 knows how swamped T1 is and what mobile techs are out, and T2 gets a chance to tell us if the flow from T1 and T3 into the “escalation sandwich” is too much. And we genuinely have it down pat to 5-10min.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had shitty SUM requirements, but when they’re done right, it’s better than a state of the union email/Teams message.
