Would put some of that down to people making errors with checkboxes, comprehension issues & trolling.
But yeah, some people just like conviction regardless of their thoughts on a case.

Easy to let despondence & cynicism override reality, but if it were true that voting does nothing, nobody would put such effort into discouraging us from voting; into confusing us so much that we disengage.
Standing in line to tick may feel too tiny to count, but everything counts, from the mysterious interactions of subatomic particles to your most basic civic interaction with the rest of your nation (voting).
The few that might like the idea are too lacking in power to attempt, and in any case are easy for a flight between Israel & the US to avoid. Can’t even see any of them denying access to their airspace.
He’d also unlikely to be travelling via a regular commercial passenger flight, as Navalny was.
If conditions cannot be guaranteed, the court can uphold his appeal and deny the order.
Whether or not that ruling would in turn be appealed by the US DoJ to the UK Supreme Court is moot. Ditto chance of success if it is. Between impinging on the right to freedom of expression & the horrors of the US penal system, extradition is likely illegal under UK human rights law.
Forgot to ramble earlier, so have this scant link instead.
Looking forward to a photographic journal of learning to build similar walls on LallyLuckFarm.
You know it is going to happen.
Noted.
Even more likely to forget to look at stuff I’ve saved. Think the function does exist though.
Commenting to remind self to return to re-read later.
It has always filled me with a kind of dread & nausea when I hear of the internet mob savaging a person, no matter my view of whatever has people riled up into full attack mode.
Determined to follow Bubba’s example of having great love & forgiveness for everyone, even as am a sobbing, mess at this story and yet again devastated at the knowledge of all the dangerous vitriol out in the world. I wish so much that persecutors could glimpse a moment of what it is to love & be relieved of their hatreds.
They’re likely going along with it on the basis that they no longer care about downballot races, or even the main race, intending instead for Trump to seize power & install loyalists by force.
I don’t see their plan working, but there’ll still be considerable chaos & violence during the attempt.
Trying to hope this will galvanise workers in Kentucky into unionising at last, but suspect it won’t, and that Republican strategists are primed to roll out all the usual tactics to discourage it.
Sounds like it was her husband who hoarded the wealth, and that she gave it up once he left it to her.
So though she’d have benefitted greatly from being married to someone so rich, that money wasn’t under her control until he died.
Seems her own work was worthwhile to the community.
Likely going to have to be forced on the industry, by some mix of piracy, legislation, reality & artists’ choices.
Meantime, convenience has considerable sway. For the generations for whom music was expensive & awkward to acquire (& who have the most disposable income now to spend on music as well as the most faith in companies), this still seems easier than pushing back.
Depends whether or not they hide some code to give them the option to remote disable your files after you’ve downloaded them, and if they to restrict your ability to create backup copies & play your files on devices you own.
There’s no reason why they couldn’t make stuff available in ways which buyers could feel confident in.
They do, just never at rates that are come close to the straights, because it is a whole thing one has to set out organise (usual caveats about exceptions, notwithstanding).
I guess incels believe that they have a lower chance of procreating than the gays.
Until they relinquish their noxious views, they’re probably right in that belief, but I’d imagine this guy & his associates are referring not to procreation, but to shifts in the social hierarchy.
Or y’know, go with what works rather than what satisfies our frustration on the topic.
I can’t comment on which strategies work best, but if research came to demonstrate that empathy works better than ridicule, continuing to use ridicule would in itself be a pseudo-scientific approach.
CNN is covering it this evening, along with some of his other recent announcements (which amount to rounding up his political enemies & millions more besides), but infuriatingly still downplaying what his vision entails, nor how popular that is with Republican voters.
It would be very rare not to do so.
Most poll results give the margins of error of the method(s) used. No idea if this one did or not, but 2% and 3% don’t seem dramatic enough to not be explicable by margin of error issues.
