quote:Yes, the judge did. She clearly stated that law enforcement actions are justified when protesters generate an actual threat, obstruct, or interfere with an operation.
did he make any reference to that truth??
This was an 80 page ruling and y’all have looked at a grand total of 3 sentences in it.
Also…

which happens to be 99.9999% of all ICE actions??

You define peaceful protests first… demonstrate that there is a version of protesting in Minnesota that you would consider peaceful. Establish that limiting principle, and we can work backwards from there together to identify where our definitions differ.

What a stupid fricking excuse.
Let peaceful protesters protest peacefully. Arrest and jail violent protesters. That’s how our system was built to work from day 1. You don’t like, you leave.

“Peaceful observers and protesters turned out again today, they will turn out again tomorrow, and they will continue turning out every day until Operation Metro Surge is over,”
Peacefully arse
Every day there are peaceful protesters. And every day there are violent protesters. Peaceful ones need to be allowed to protest peacefully. Violent ones need to be thrown in prison. Because no shite.
fricking sock puppets here can’t imagine holding two thoughts in their head at the same time.
re: The problem with this country is the freedom

quote:Just no, man. You’re arguing against the most extreme version of freedom to support directional order. It’s a reductio ad absurdum argument, and it’s not logically valid.
And if you're really honest with yourself, order is more important than freedom. Pure freedom is anarchy.
If you’re going to use pure freedom as your argument, then you need to weigh it against pure order. And pure order is simply determinism. It is the removal of all free will. And not even God in heaven desired to remove all free will of humans…. but you think that will make us better off? With pure order, there might as well be no life… everything is just mechanics.
The fact that pure freedom would be chaos does not mean that directional freedom is bad. And it doesn’t mean that freedom and order can’t coexist. If you don’t understand that, I’m afraid that you missed something very important when growing up.

90% is a retarded number to attribute to fraud
But I’m pretty pissed that it’s evidently above 10%

re: How prevalent are bots/paid accounts on message boards these days?
Posted by funnystuff on 1/14/26 at 7:51 pm to BugAC
Bots don’t survive here… but paid posters and opinion amplifiers thrive
I’d guess 20-30% of active posters, and 50-70% of upvotes/downvotes, are from sock puppet accounts

re: US workers are taking home less of what they produce than ever before

Yes.
Dividends go into investor's pockets, as does the money used for stock buybacks.
That money, in turn, then disproportionately goes back into buying more stocks, bonds, and corporate ownership.

Then what explains this graph?
fred.stlouisfed.org
It’s the share of GDP that is collected in firm profits. Thereby, not being reinvested in new job growth or filtering down into wage growth for employees.

re: How would the world be different if Alexander the Great lived another 20-25 years?
Posted by funnystuff on 1/13/26 at 6:56 am to cbree88
It seems unlikely that he would have ever stopped conquering long enough to do the serious internal governance necessary to consolidate that much territory that long ago.
With an extra 20-25 years, I image the empire roughly doubles in size, leaving remnants of its legacy for the generations after. But not, the world would likely not be materially different outside of the cultural blip it would have delivered a little further beyond its borders

re: How Vegas makes the money.

You need to read up on Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky’s research on reversion to the mean. It involves a story of Israeli fighter pilots, so it’s actually more interesting than it sounds haha
Check out Judgement Under Uncertainty:Heuristics and Biases. It might as well be an instruction manual on why Vegas keeps beating you :lol:

re: Trump calls for 1-year cap on on credit card interest rates at 10%
Posted by funnystuff on 1/10/26 at 10:05 am to Auburn1968
quote:Gonna need to see a link on that one. AI says there were no interest rate caps during the Carter administration. And I don’t know enough about the time period to refute that.
Dims did this back in Carter's day and it wrecked the credit system because the rates were capped below the rate of inflation.
