    Students Asked To Leave Multicultural Room For 'Police Lives Matter' Sticker

    Also - lets do a posting to risk perception as well. As the US have a way of making their people look like suggestible idiots, here is the "Roll of Heroes 2020": src: https://www.odmp.org/search/year/2020 i.e. officers killed on duty. Total number of officers in the US is about 700.000. And...

    Doesnt matter. Capacity isnt the only metric to optimize for. You need good stories. Cant have them with "you are born this way". No out. No choice.

    Are you mad? Links. Racist uncle, quit stiring up people with BS. For reference, I showed that "person" the macro level of "violent crimes per country", where the largest factors of difference are working society, or not - and "civil war in the past ten years, yes/no" -- with a fluctuation...

    Selling and Purchasing Laptop Questions

    Get off of gaming laptops, if you are not using them while traveling - constantly. Buy a small formfactor PC instead and travel with that. If you are willing to upgrade them yearly, for a bump of 16% in graphics performance - this will seriously cut into your budget over time...

    Help with my old monitor.

    I agree. I have 3 external scalers here, and am working on finishing the 4th one. In general they are expensive - and none of them would scale to 1600x1200. So while a repair option might be available (dont know - out of my depth), there should be no good aftermarket external scaler options...

    Sorry, but this is the point - where someone should seriously consider banning you for racism. All the pussy-footing around the fact that you'll try to make racial arguments against overwhelming evidence, that the main factor of "violent crimes" is weather a (subsection of) society is...

    Texas House passed extreme gerrymandered GOP state House map at 3:30am last night

    Cat lady in action: :) If she goes the way of the dodo, I'll probably stop watching Democracy now, because she is in large part, what makes watching horrific news on the third world palpable... Dont know why, just is. You should see her swallowing down tears, and continuing with a news...

    How about political systems? If on the other side of "violent action" stands you being abused by an authoritative system - this probably results in a lower violent crime rate (to a point). Culture also is a point (talking about the Japanese and having learned to live in somewhat conjested areas...

    Thats wrong and a highly problematic approach. Its not race that makes you more or less criminal (see international comparisons). It might be socio-demographic factors ("slums") and its already proven to be police targeting. (In short - police aimed for "higher action rate" - partly using...

    Thats aggitation propaganda. You cant look up racism. Its interpretation by default. A court for example will never "pronounce" someone racist, in a high profile case, if they maintain they are not. Thats not how it works, "The court of public opinion" is different from how the legal system...

    Lets talk about intent for a little while also. A: We have a massive problem of police discrimination and racial profiling against black people in the US. People are dying because of it. Thats not nothing. Black lives matter. B: Police lives matter also! Its pretty obvious that the intent of...

    First trailer for animated 'Shenmue' series released

    Its the antithesis of cool. Its mundane, its slow paced, its a little awkward. And its perfect. :) You basically start to see your younger self in the character (or your younger self identifying with the character way back when), and then cheer every time the character breaks out of his shell...

    Gaming GBS Control, anyone built one? I did recently and think it is worth it.

    Did you replace c11? Can you go into details about what difference it might have made? (Did not find many detailed descriptions). Also, can we get a shot of the 330 ohm mod in parallel with r26, that also has r26 in the image? (or take two images.. ;) ) Does polarity matter, do you just tack...

    Everything explained

    Take note of that youtuber as well, imho. This is the second "exceptional" video of him I've watched. Great also, because talking about the politics of Japan serves as a good proxy for western (satellite state) politics, while also generating some familiarity for people in this forum interest...

    What does it feel like to have COVID?

    Like jinglepuff berries on a wednesday. The problem is just all those pansy nurses, that burn out working in the emergency covid ward, seeing all those patients - die... But normally they die from suffocation - which is a pleasent death, comparatively...
