Personally, I think it is because she’s a true believer. She’s crazy, and too dumb to be trusted to be let in on the grift, so she just fights for what she’s “supposed” to be fighting for. While that is normally something awful, the situation does make the broken clock right twice a day.

That’s what the government says. But I know the truth - I know it’s the queers! They are in it with the aliens to build landing strips for GAY MARTIANS! I swear to god!

If someone is an asshole, then they probably are just an asshole. If everyone is an asshole, you should look at the common denominator of all those interactions.

How do I know that is JD Vance, when it clearly looks nothing like him. Like, where did I learn that knowledge from?

As in America is a joke for engaging in this, or as in America has no clue what actual martial law looks like? Neither? Both?

Ok, let the numbers be for some specific crime then. I’m just walking folks through the math of where these sorts of claims come from. Not offering a political commentary on under-policing, or over-inclusive definitions of crime, or whatever else.

You can’t measure actual crimes committed. However, you can make a reasonable guess by factoring in your known unknowns. For example, assume we have a significant sample of reported crimes in a city. Let’s pull the number 50/100k people out of our rear end for example purposes.

As you pointed out, we only have the data from the reports. The total number is known unknown. We could then look at a different data set, like a survey, that says something like 20% of people who are victims of the crime never report it, or 20% of people admit to doing it and not getting caught, whatever the case may be.

So, we can cross reference those two statistics to estimate that the “real” rate of that crime is closer to 60/100k people. Even though neither study can predict that number individually.

You don’t need to know every single instance of speeding. You just a good representative sample, and then you can plot your trendline from that. That is how statistics like that are measured.

I scored 12/28 on https://jsdate.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

I am also an RIF refugee. Lemmy isn’t the same high, but it’s a pretty good methadone.

I don’t think Micky7 has them, but I guess it doesn’t hurt to ask

Commercial dealer? No. Some dude in the parking lot named Colton? Absolutely.

Old Smokey Mountain Moonshine from Tennessee switched to making hand sanitizer for a little while.

Dude, this is wicked cool! I appreciate the open source code and blog too

Idk the name for it,but this is a common vibe I see here in my US college town. It is a type of art student that doesn’t come from a rich background. I think the best name I think of off the top of my head would be something like “Post tumbler alternative” or “midwestern underground goth” ? Idk, the name doesn’t matter.
The point is, your people are out there and if you keep looking, you’ll find your tribe eventually.

Huh, I guess he is a broken clock

Oh shoot! I had no idea she started her own channel. Looks like I got some new videos to binge. She was one of favorites on LTT back in the day. Felt way more grounded and technically competent than the others who felt much more like hobbyist with big budgets rather than skilled professionals. I’m sure they are all amazingly proficient, I’m just talking about their persona on camera.

I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic earlier this year kinda out of no where. This cracked me up so freaking hard!

That didn’t stop Ted Cruz from running a few years back

What does the probably not actually an alien mean?
