- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 1 week ago:
Sure they will. Many prosecutors are so bombastically driven to succeed that they will prosecute a case they can win even if they know it is not justice because winning at all costs is the only thing that matters to some.

This was my first encounter with the word so TIL.

Assuming a prosecutor takes this to court, they will have to provide evidence during the probable cause hearing. If it goes that far, it will get dismissed if there is no evidence. It’s more likely that the prosecutor does nothing unless there is something they have unknown to you or you are not telling us something.

what is infuriating about a historical study?
- Comment on The Republican Party used to be very big on smaller government. What caused them to turn into the party of big government over reach? When did it happen? 1 week ago:
It was always a lie. What they mean to say is that they won’t pass laws that create taxes or put in place systems that protect people from capitalists. That’s it. Other than that, they are happy to put all the money into war and the police.
- Comment on A lot of people who try to start a religion are seen as mentally ill. Like Jim Jones, David Koresh, the UFO guy, and L Ron Hubbard. Then could it be a safe bet that Jesus was mentally ill? 3 weeks ago:
There is no doubt in my mind that Jesus was a cult leader who pissed off the authorities and got himself into trouble. He tore families apart and caused great strife to those around him during those times. The fact that this became a worldwide religion is horrific and has set back human development by millennia.
- Comment on US Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “I'm thrilled to report that after 35 years, on July 4th, we will end the subsidies for wind and solar projects” 4 weeks ago:
What’s truly amazing is that they do this sort of thing ONLY because other people want to protect the Earth. This is done specifically to spite others’ feelings.

De hecho eso suena re útil.

That was their own money in impound. Trump is just giving it back. Like Obama was doing before Trump screwed it up.

I had a Vietnamese student some years ago teach me this and I never looked back.
- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 1 month ago:
I agree. There’s very little funding for services that protect children. Foster children are commonly sent out of state due to lack of resources and are completely lost out in the system somewhere.

I actually think that “schools of the future” will do this. Especially when mathematics are concerned. It does no good to get feedback a week after you have done the homework and already moved on to the next topic. Feedback should be immediate so that any errors in understanding can be corrected. The exception would probably be writing a paper, which can occur over at least several days.

Yes. The time to find that job that you really want is when you have the job you can get. Also everyone is applying for every position that even remotely touches their skillset whether they have the experience or not. This is just how it works these days.
- Comment on : Do people who were blind from birth see anything in their dreams, or is it just audio and textures? 1 month ago:
Only a VERY tiny number of people see complete black. Most blind people are more functionally blind than literally so. That is, their vision is so bad that they need some sort of accommodation to adjust. They DO see the world but not in the way that typical vision does.

I didn’t do the math but concluded that gold was the better value but harder to handle.
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 1 month ago:
They beat me to it haha! People into jazz, classical, world music, progressive metal, etc would certainly rate things vastly differently from people who listen to pop music alone. These studies only target the averagest of persons.
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 1 month ago:
Notable that this is only popular music. You might be surprised to find you follow the same trend if asked to rate Taylor Swift compared to Modest Mouse or something.
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 1 month ago:
They did the survey repeatedly over 11 years and the line spores the average across all years.
- Comment on Why is America so surprised when they elected Trump? They bitched and moans how all politicians are liars, cheats, money hungry and so on. So now they got exactly that and they are surprised? 2 months ago:
About half of the right are people who hold certain beliefs and can talk about them. These people can recognize when they are wrong and make changes, though many of them will double down and vote their party no matter what. The other half is full of people who make the politics part of their identity, see it as a zero-sum game, and want to actively harm people they disagree with. The people who are surprised are on the first group.

OK. So things would stay just as they are, no changes. Sounds like a fine compromise when getting a move to the left.

I get that (now) but I stand behind my statement.

As a member of the community this is just the whole “gay is bad” routine leveraged to steal money from bad people. It propagates discrimination.

And if you weren’t so toxic, I wouldn’t have blocked you just now. Grow up.

You’ve demonstrated my point perfectly. Those were exactly the personal attacks. Amazingly, I couldn’t even reference the topic without you needing to make it personal.

Look at you demonstrating my point perfectly. Amazing. Have a block, no need to interact with toxic people.
- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 2 months ago:
Things like:
Democrats are really like the center right in Europe.
That Arabs are semites.
That I liked the ideas of communism but don’t believe that it has succeeded yet because the average person is not ready for it.
Those things caused endless rage and personal attacks.

I opened my first account on .ml. I knew nothing about it and it was not until much later that I knew what ML meant. I joined only because it was the devs’ server and I figured that I could be on the cutting edge. Then began several weeks of angry attacks on random comments until I figured out what was going on and came over to .world.
- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 2 months ago:
An example: “Democrats are considered leftist in the US but are really center-right in Europe”. This inflamed the passions of the .ml-ites. You can buy it or not buy it but it won’t have any bearing on reality.
- Comment on A kid in my semi hometown in arkansas said he was going to shoot up a wal-mart if we went on a hanta lockdown. He was arrested and everything. Can you really be charged fed for typing? 2 months ago:
I suspect that the mere utterance is enough for it to be a threat, even if a rational person would know it was not serious.

You live in a zero-tolerance world where that sort of scenario lead to the deaths of many people. It is a terroristic threat and people will take it seriously.
