Being able to win a primary does not equate to be electable. It just shows party preference. To be elected the candidate needs to be preferred by all voters.

Smart parties pick the best endgame player.

Like a sports team winning early games in a national competition, that doesn’t mean they are good enough to walk away the champions.

Overall fitness, excellence, and likability must be considered vs the other opponents on the final ballot.

The truest of US winners.

Tax payer money!

I’m jealous of all y’all who know why you got bans.

I’ve gotten warning and temp bans, but they never specify why. They never include the content. Just saying promoting this or that is very unclear, like how, when, where? Did I actually?

I always just ignore them and carry on on alts for a while.

Their shit is so stupid. But there’s a lot of useful content on Reddit. I still hit up old house and DIY type groups, cause I own an old house, and specific tech groups because of the tech I use, but I don’t miss the rest.

Love your icon, BTW.

No!

I’d be interested to know if that’s true.

I’ve seen plenty of both misandry and misogyny.

I’ve only seen misandry so far on this thread.

It would be pretty upsetting if who saw what was deliberate in order to manipulate the viewers.

Girls do this shit too, and it’s not new.

The general message to ‘be good to each other’ is very old, and has to be told often. The internet provides for a lot of anonymity and seperation from consequence, so allows for people to say shitty things without the moderation that’s more common in public and personal spaces.

It’s not surprising at all that there is tons of men or women online talking shit about each other. What is surprising is that the platforms it happens on don’t just delete that crap as a rule. Many will let it fester and negatively effect the community because people interact with it, and interaction means ad hits.

We need laws that make monetizing such content illegal, to encourage it’s quick removal.

Just bitching about having to see it isn’t good enough.

It’s also important to date the new ones when activated, so that they can be replaced at the appropriate time 10yrs from now, even if it’s not you doing it.

Edit your comment and I’ll maybe come back and bother with voting.

The correct terminology depends on context.

As others have mentioned, when they said woman there they were referring to the present report of a woman, who was a teen and the time of the event.

Calling an adult female human a woman is not wrong.

Calling a teen a teen is not wrong.

Legally teens under 18 are also children.

Technically everyone is someone’s child.

Though not considered adults by most laws, biologically people become adults after puberty, which varies by individual. The period during puberty they are adolescents, neither children nor yet adults.

Context matters.

There’s a distinct difference between how some of these terms are used depending on context. There is biological status and then there is legal status.

So be careful where & when you take issue.

Here, legal terms are appropriate due to the subject matter, and you should definitely suggest to the authors that they adjust the terms used accordingly.

Just complaing to the ether may be cathartic, but inaction is also complicit.

However teen is a teen regardless of context, as it’s a designation of age group, not a legal or biological classification. So it’s up to the reader to determine relevance of the teens age beyond that.

Not exactly, it doesn’t mean the fed can just do whatever it wants, it means lower laws can’t overrule higher ones, and puts the fed in the position to moderate conflicts between lower laws or contracts between parties that fall under federal law.

The fed doesn’t have a law that specifically allows for the inhuman treatment of detanies, it has a law against it.

Local laws can be made more strict than fed laws, so long as they don’t violate constitutional protections.

So the state or county or city, whichever is relevant, can’t pass and maintain specific laws pertaining to the quality of human detainment facilities, and anyone in the territory, even the fed, would be legally obligated to respect that law.

However they could just buy a facility where they were welcome instead. Then the other territories law wouldn’t apply.

Error…

Community bikes are not a new thing. They had them in my hometown through most of my youth and teen years, and may still. I don’t live there anymore. 🙁

They had a strong bike community, and a bike store and repair shop off a main ped/cycle path through town, just outside downtown. It had a lounge and was the primary source of the community bikes and their maintenance.

Paint the bikes all a similar bright color, not white, and get stickers made with info about use and contact info for pickup and repair.

Like, “I’m a community bike, use me as you like, leave me somewhere responsibly when you’re done with me, so somebody else can use me too. Contact for pickup or repairs 555 RIDE 4ME”

Yeah, don’t say you don’t know if you do, that’s lying, which is a crime in this situation. You can answer crime related questions with questions (avoidance). But don’t do that for everything. If they push, start asking if you’re free to go. If they say no, invoke the 5th.

Don’t do their jobs for them.

Don’t answer any questions that could incriminate you. Or talk to them in general. But be polite when you do speak.

Only tell them your name or provide other required identity information. Don’t say where you are going or coming from. Don’t explain anything. Don’t tell stories. Don’t lie.

I can definitely cut steal with my angle grinder.

Faraday bags work… But test them.

I got a cheapo $7 Chromebook sized bag that seemed to work for my SOs iphone. We don’t use NFC so I couldn’t test that.

No BT, WiFi, or Cell, and probably no GPS.

I only did casual testing.

The screen still showed the signal having low bars for WiFi and cellular, but it didn’t actually receive a signal at all when trying to call or use the net, not even with the top of the bag open a sliver and my hand in there.

If the device was off or in airplane mode and in the bag, I’d be comfortable assuming it was safely hidden from tracking.

I haven’t thoroughly tested my various personal devices, but I expect identical results.

I think everyone should probably have a bag like this around, in a go-bag or something, just in case. And it’s safer to have your phone available than not, as long as it’s secure (use a pin or password to lock it, use encryption, put emergency info on it for first responders).

Only?.. We need a public petition.

And a national civil lawsuit vs our gov.

I demand compensation beyond merely my financial losses.

They can cut back on spending on military projects and deals with billion dollar companies and tax the rich.

The money is there.

Conspirators have no balls bra.

Everyone knows this.
