  • Honestly, I put animal abusers in a lower circle of hell, along side child abusers.

    It's about the power differential. The difference between a white adult male and a black adult female (for example) might be considerable, but its not going to be even close to the power differential between either of those adults and a child or a pet.

  • Confidence? Not so much. But it's less a fear of rejection, and more a fear of upsetting someone.

    In short, my thought process goes like this:

    • Approaching women can make them uncomfortable.
    • I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
    • Therefore, I don't approach women.

    I basically limit myself to online dating, but as we all know, that's a shit show unless you're in the top 10% on the scale of attractiveness. And so I've been single 10+ years.

  • I, for one, thought this was a reasonable take.

    What else do people expect you to comment? Like...

    Neat.

    Or...

    Thoughts and prayers for the driver and his family.

    ?

    What discussion can a post like this garner except speculation? And to preface your speculation with an acknowledgement that the story has no real details... seems fair to me.

  • You picked two random days, compared their active user counts, and concluded that it must indicate a continuous trend.

    Yesterday, it was 60°F out. Today it's 30°F out. Clearly, by next week, everyone in my town will be dead by freezing.

    Experts struggle with statistics. Laymen, doubly so.

    EDIT:

    Also, that's only a difference of 7%, so it's not even that drastic.

    EDIT2:

    Also also, what does any of this have to do with your post being removed? What was the post? Did the mod/admin give you a reason for removal?

  • The population of NYC is 8 million, and they had fewer than 1M votes for mayor? That, like, 12.5%.

    Even if you limit it to just citizen population, I found that number to be 6-7 million. Thats still only a 14-16% voter turnout.

    The fuck?

  • The previous conviction was overturned on a procedural issue, like a mistrial. He wasn't pardoned or found not guilty, so it isn't double jeopardy. It's just a "redo" to make sure another jury would still convict without the procedural issue.

  • I'd love to tax the kleptocrat class and pay to fix some of the country's problems, but I'm worried a woman and her doctor might do medicine deemed heresy by my twisted interpretation of a book of fables I never actually read (and may not even believe). Also the gays and brown people scare me, and somehow the only way I can save myself from them is to give Elon Musk ownership of San Francisco.

  • US billionaires hold a collective $4.5 Trillion. A 2% wealth tax would be $90 Billion. That's simultaneously a shitload of money that could do so much good, and also a drop in the bucket for the US budget and deficit.

    We need to raise taxes on the wealthy so, so much to save this country.
