I think a better question is, do YOU think that Israeli/Russian/Chinese people fucking suck, or do you only hate entire groups of people when it directly affects you?

Hating an entire group of people <> "suffering the right way"

I hope you becomes less of a hateful person. I'll leave you to it and hope our interaction inspires others to be less hateful and ignorant than you seem determined to maintain.

And it's Isrealis who are genociding Palestinians, Russians who are invading and killing Ukrainians, and Chinese that are genociding Uighurs, but it's ignorant and hateful to make blanket statements like "Israeli/Russian/Chinese people fucking suck," as any fully-formed person understands that having no control over a group you were born to does not indict you for the crimes of the very worst of that group.

Grow up.

Cis people fucking suck. In my experience most cis people, cis men especially, are extremely toxic, hateful and again, in my experience

Replace "cis" with black, or gay, or any other human descriptive to see how fucked up what you just said really is.

Your in my experience tag isn't softening your hate - "I'm just saying that in my experience black men are toxic." - see how that sounds? That's how you sound to everyone else.

Realize that you're being just as hateful as the shitty individuals who hate you for what you are, and choose something better.

You're half-right.

It's real, researched, well-produced journalism which is definitely a relic of the past at this point.

I don't think that's what you were saying, though. Since your opinion hinges on what "people have been calling" it, I think you probably don't watch it and believe that since it's an old show and format, it must be inferior to.. sound bites, inflammatory remarks, click/rage-bait, "X slammed Y," etc.

And that's sad.

If their model was simply, "were going to pay you to stream," then it would instantly be another egirl cam site which is not inherently right or wrong.

They don't want that. It's their platform, their server space, and their rules. Similar to who you allow in your home and what you allow them to do, they decide who and what if allowed on their platform.

The "why" doesn't even matter. Maybe it's run by a far right Christian. Maybe they don't want the liability. Maybe they have a vision for what their platform is and isn't. It doesn't matter. It's their property and they decide what's allowed.

I don't get the aggression people have for someone using different brand.

People identify the business decisions that Apple makes to be anti-consumer. They then feel frustration and anger for users of Apple products as support for their products only emboldens Apple to continue making anti-consumer decisions, such as the subject of this article.

Apple is a microcosm representation of the evils of capitalism for many people and they project their feelings about it - powerlessness, disgust, anger, etc. - onto users of Apple products. People associate support for iPhones which enjoys a 61% US market share as support for the boot of capitalism on our throats regardless of whether the Apple user doesn't know, doesn't care, or doesn't agree.

I mean logically the kind of shit that grows on your dishes isn't much better for you than the literal shit that a toilet brush would scrub out of your toilet bowl.

First, what the fuck is growing on your dishes that you believe is "logically" equivalent to eating human shit? Second, this isn't a logic problem or a place for opinion. All the work was already done for you, just waiting for you to look it up instead of giving your opinion on bacteria.

Human shit also doesn't only contain bacteria. There's an estimated 100 million - 1 billion virus per gram of wet shit inside of us. Fungi are estimated at up to a million microorganisms per gram of wet shit and there's still around 100 billion bacteria per gram of wet shit. Let's not forget parasites like cryptosporidium which your body purges in shit.

Meanwhile either giving your dishes a cursory rinse or not allowing them to sit covered in food for days on end would minimize bacterial or fungal growth on your dishes.

This is a reminder for everyone: your opinion on facts that you can't be bothered to type in a search box are less than worthless. They're disinformation and in some cases, like telling people that eating shit is no more harmful that licking a plate, can cause harm.

Just say no to opinions on what facts may or may not be. Cite your sources.

There is demand for first class seating from nearly 100% of fliers. They're just not willing to pay what AA is charging. This isn't a supply and demand decision. Econ 101 says that means AA should reduce the price, but capitalism in practice says the constant desire for more profit and the monopoly that most industries have been allowed to grow and maintain means never lower the price and find a new way to fuck the plebs who don't even own a single yacht.

But he is a bad person.

People like that don't deserve patience and understanding.

These black and white statements won't do you or anyone else any good. We understand that an inconsiderate or rude act doesn't define a person when we can believe that about ourselves and love ourselves despite our many mistakes and cringe-worthy incidents.

When we love ourselves we begin to offer others the same grace and understanding we allow ourselves. We see the myriad reasons we don't think or act how we'd like to and realize that everyone else's life is just as difficult and confusing, and often for reasons we'll never see or understand.

I'm not saying the show was made by Nazis but it sure looks like a graphic artist is

You not seeing what's wrong with his tweet means that you already accepted that it was a factually true statement, which it is not. Humanity wasn't been held down by small-brained babies until the advent of the C-section.

Secondarily, what point do you think he's trying to make? I'd bet that it's about humanity being more intelligent now that these giant-brained babies have an alternative escape route. I'd bet all his ill-gained wealth that he was a C-section and he's also bragging about how intelligent he must be. One commenter also already mentioned that Musk is replying to a eugenics-pusher.

It's never a good idea to read something that lacks and requires credible citation and say, "I guess that sounds right." Intentionally or not, you often add that to some folder of "true stuff I read" in your brain and start repeating it back as fact when relevant.

Oh, and Musk is a vile fuckwit.

This certainly is data, which doesn't exist purely in tabular tables. If you're interested in doing so you could count to see how many records exists in the set, and you can easily view the "prosecution_result" field for each record. The data is also arranged into groups for easier consumption of trends that the creator is showcasing.

If you were to look at the raw data, probably stored in tabular records, you wouldn't gain much insight into the overarching trends without spending more time studying and taking notes than the few seconds it took to absorb the trends in the author's visualization.
