Oh Lemmy, never change :P

I mean sure? The constitution is pretty clear on the subject. And I’m sure this current administration would love to have some even more recent case law on the books. And if they do overturn it, we can always look to France for how to best handle the situation.

What is RA in this context? Online search isn’t being very productive.

I recently moved and got rid of mine. However, I used to live in a really rough neighborhood. A lot of heavy drug use. Most folks were good people when sober, but when high, they don’t think logically, and bad mixes can cause aggression. Thankfully never had to shoot anyone, but police were called a few times with guns at the ready in case things escalated before police arrived. My mom still lives in that area, so I left her with a 38 special, a 20 guage shotgun, and a habit of calling the police the moment anything feels off in the neighborhood.

The poster’s name is the screengrab is “The weirdest CEO of a recruit…” - so I’m voting for satire personally. I do see your point, I am just feeling like a pedant this morning.

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.

Yeah, I’ve been told that on here before. I was born in 1988 and it’s been part of my online persona since I was a young teen. I didn’t know about the HH implication until I started hanging out in more leftist circles on reddit and eventually here

Not necessarily, but it would be ironic if you were a non-native speaking English person living in the US. That would likely indicate that you or your parents are exactly the type of people that Trump and his friends are trying to vilify and make life more difficult for.

What is your native language? Where are you posting from?

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?

For context, back in the day, tax collectors were private entities. They would bid with the king or whatever to pay the taxes up front for a particular area for a year, then collect from the community to make back their money. The difference between what they collected and what was paid to the king was their profit margin. So, the tax collector they are talking about here is more akin to a blood sucking middle man/speculative investor type than the sort of tax collector we’d think of today.

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.
