Where do you draw the line? Some people's parents teach them reading, writing and mathematics before they even enter the school system. Does that mean the school system shouldn't teach those three?

What if your parents don't know how to fix a clogged sink? Or to cook food more complicated than pasta with ketchup?

What do you see as the purpose of the schooling system?

OJ Simpson also wasn't convicted.

It seems kind of obvious Rittenhouse went looking for a situation he could put himself in so that he could shoot somebody. That's murder if you can prove it, but good luck proving it.

Memories being given as an input to the system are themselves context

People already are starting to forget somebody just took a shot at trump. I don't think the 18 month cycle was ever necessary.

Ukraine?

Striking inside their territory won't matter all that much if they can just nuke Kiyv.

And breaking the nuclear taboo is a catastrophe for everybody, regardless of who the target is.

If EFF always says your browser has a unique fingerprint then that means the anti-fingerprinting is working, no?

A distributed pseudonymous ledger for use by a centralised authority that will hold sensitive, personal information.

I think the paper was right.

That's literally "making the best of a bad system"

You don't like the choice you're making, but you're picking what you perceive as the "least bad".

You think Biden is a legitimately good candidate and not just worth rallying behind to stop Trump?

[-] upto60percentoff@kbin.run 20 points 4 months ago

Isn't the push behind Biden "making the best of a bad system"? Which seems to be exactly the same sentiment behind "I don't like the oligarchs but it's useful that they agree with me."

Not sure what article you're reading, but this one didn't seem to imply the reason for ceasing donations was being against oligarchy. So I'm not sure what point you're making?
