RBG died for our country
no, written korean isn't anything like chinese. chinese essentially uses pictures instead of an alphabet, korean uses an alphabet that looks like pictures.
chinese and japanese, however, do share some of their pictures. but they aren't mutually intelligible. a chinese/japanese person can pick out about as much from the other's language as you could pick out from german.
ie if i said "der hund ist harmlos", you might be able to figure out it means "the dog is harmless".
as for chinese and japanese, both 入口 mean "entrance" in their languages. but in korean it's 입구
i love him but he has probably the world's worst personality type for making technical debate arguments within a confined set of arbitrary (courtroom) rules.
the 17th amendment put senators to a popular vote rather than being chosen by state representatives.
in general, state representatives skew conservative because they have to come from all parts of the state, whereas the popular votes for a senator only come from the population centers of the state. in other words, all the "flyover counties" of states have no real say in who their senator is right now. the 17th amendment, in some sense, removed an electoral college for choosing senators.
if you repeal the 17th amendment, the end result is that all the rural county voters will have a larger say in who their senator is.
right now, in a state like montana, the relatively liberal cities like missoula and bozeman get to unilaterally pick who the senator is because they have a lot more retarded urbanites who vote for whomever the TV tells them to. but montana's state legislature will be conservative for a long time into the future.
wouldn't work because people'd lie and you'd have no way of finding out aside from extremely expensive on-site audits.
even amazon can't reliably enforce their own rules on sellers. tons of counterfeit and broken garbage gets shipped to people. amazon's policy is to simply accept those returns, no-questions asked, rather than try to actually police the sellers because it's cheaper to eat all those losses than to do real audits.
anyone have a download link, especially in higher quality?
predictit has a bunch of psuedo "trump will win bets". you currently cannot bet on the actual "which party will win the whitehouse" bet because so many people already bet on it.
gotta adjust for the total population
and you can probably just do deaths-per-week for each year
once you do that you get a pretty accurate comparison with prior years
it means that there is now a single chain of command for all special forces units that ends with the president. previously, there were CIA special forces, for example, who were not ultimately accountable to the president, but rather were contained within a civilian bureaucracy.
this makes it a lot harder to legally argue that the CIA "can do whatever it wants because of super secrets"
some evidence:
- before today: POTUS in control of military special ops but deep state in control of CIA/FBI/etc special ops
- after today: POTUS in control of all special ops. no more civilian bureaucrats with elite deathsquads at their beck and call. https://twitter.com/i/status/1329124041257574408
all they can really say is "there is a 95% confidence level that the value lies between +.23 and -.46" which is another way of saying "if we did this study 100 times, in 95 of them, the answer would fall between +.23 and - .46". that range itself is the confidence interval.
if they raised the confidence level from .95 to .99, then the range would have to expand in order to accommodate more outliers.
whereas if they shrank the confidence level down to like 50, then the range would be smaller, but would start to become meaningless. that's why scientists go for a 95% confidence level -- it lets them narrow it down a bit, but not wildly zeroing in on a spot within the range that's probably wrong.
the way they add more precision isn't to change that .95, but rather to run another study with a much larger sample size so that the range created by using a .95 confidence level is much narrower.
it's because they didn't have enough people in the study to get a more accurate result than that. their actual result is that that masks cause between a 23% increase and a 46% decrease in infection. they don't have the data to disprove any assertion within that range, but any statement outside of that range is something they can say with 95% confidence isn't true. per the study:
the findings were inconclusive and cannot definitively exclude a 46% reduction to a 23% increase in infection of mask wearers
so they went ahead and said "our study pretty much proves that masks don't lower infection by over 50%" which is a pretty conservative statement on their part, but they're scientists who don't want to over-reach their conclusions.
by that logic, biden should just insult all 5 conservative justices and then demand they recuse themselves
the national strike idea just might work if any of them worked
that's not how you do it. you go here https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/ecorp/entitysearch/NameSearch.aspx
and enter "7611619" as their file number
you're then told that the registered agent is legalinc (which is what that link you have already says). legalinc is just a company that is the registered agent for thousands of other companies. they don't give a shit about any of this and don't care who their clients are. it's all automated. harassing them would literally do nothing at all. it'd be like yelling at a phonebook instead of making a phone call.
instead, what you need to do is then pay $20 the state of delaware for the company's filings and status documents. those are the juicy bits. then you post those documents onto this website because i'm too cheap to pay $20 to doxxx liberals.
he made pedo jokes on twitter but is otherwise clean. i put him in the "filthy comedian trying to be edgy" camp rather than the "actually molests children for fun and profit camp"
YMMV
sir this is a wendy's
"if those kids could read they'd still burn your shit down"
i don't make the rules for the other websites that this meme is made for. go argue with them.
because memes are meant to be shared and many platforms don't allow doxxing.
so the tradeoff is how many people see it versus how much you care about making it marginally easier to dox a pedo on twitter. and in a meme war it's far more important to spread something like this in as many was as possible
because memes are meant to be shared, and if someone wants to copy+paste this onto a site like reddit or facebook then it will get banned for personal information / doxxing unless i redact personal information.
gay people are at most 5% of the population. in order for them to have equal representation in media, then 1 out of every 20 characters would be gay.
but these days, when there's an ensemble cast of 4 or 5 main characters, at least one is gay and possibly 2 or 3. they are being overrepresented in media by a huge amount and it's going to confuse children.
any company can outsource workers from other countries
not really true, but it's a moot point since soon they'll be outsourcing to AIs and robots and we'll all be fucked.
There aren’t the same amount of jobs out there anymore because some women are highly skilled and can create a company which employs other Americans.
notice how in the mid 70s the productivity and wages separate? that's when two things happened: women entered the workforce en masse and automation picked up. if you want a stable society, those two lines need to stay together. their separation has caused irreparable fuckups to america.
eventually that wage line is going to actually drop as automation takes over and soon the only people with money and power will be the people who own the smarter-than-human AI serverfarms and the amazon as-good-as-a-laborer robots. we are fucked
fun fact: if you only got know one thing about a person when guessing whether whether or not they were pro or anti gun, the biggest piece of information to help you wouldn't be if they're conservative or liberal, but rather if they're a man or a woman.
women, even conservative women and even conservative women who have guns, skew ridiculously towards gun control.
