  • Where is the best place to keep up with US election results?

  • Is it bad that I get most of my non-local news from foreign sources? I do look at the AP and NPR but I usually go to the BBC or Reuters first and I almost always check the CSM for international stories I want more information on.

  • $100k is about the average household income in the US, the average single income is about $67k. So about a year and a half of the average wage. And median income is much lower (median household income is about $44k) indicating that high income households have a much larger effect on the average than low income households so the average middle class individual income should also be much lower than the average individual income.

  • A 911 caller reported his friend was killed by a bear in his tent. It was actually a brutal homicide.

    跳过

  • If I were in the friend's position I doubt I would have gotten a close enough look to differentiate. The autopsy said the victim had "multiple chop wounds" including to the skull so it was probably a machete or ax attack. With lots of long deep wounds and blood there wasn't much chance he was alive when the friend found him so it's plausible that the friend didn't actually go into the campsite, just saw the blood and assumed it was a bear because what other animal could do that much damage.

  • The Satanic Temple supports it's trans members using the same basis as it's stance on abortion. There are 7 fundamental tenets of Satanism. The third states that "One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone." and the fifth is "Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs." Based on these tenets it is the religious stance of TST that trans individuals have a fundamental religious right to decide what happens to their body and a religious obligation to reject unscientific claims and "treatments" with regard to their gender identity.

  • There are lots of special considerations for a legal standpoint concerning Native Americans because technically they compromise several semi-sovereign nations within the US's borders. Some of the treaties the US signed with them during westward expansion are still enforceable.

    If you have a favorite one, what is your favorite "grindhouse" movie?

    跳过

  • Sorority House Massacre 2 is one of my absolute favorite films. The final line in the film is my favorite in all of cinema.

    After that I'm a big fan of Pam Grier and enjoy most of her movies but I think Coffy is my favorite.

    Every Troma movie is worth watching. Toxie is a great superhero and we really need a crossover. Toxie should be in the Justice League, he's already an Avenger! The Class of Nukem High movies are standouts but I think Surf Nazis Must Die is probably my favorite Troma movie.

    Edit to add: Death Proof was good but I preferred Planet Terror. To be fair though I've never seen a movie by either Tarentio or Rodriguez that I didn't enjoy.

  • The people who most benefit from DNA ancestry are people who want to know where they came from but documentation is scarce or non-existent. In the US that group is primarily composed of the descendents of slaves. It can also help people descendent of native groups who only know that they are from some native people of North America identity a particular tribe.

  • Russian Su-34 supersonic fighter-bomber shot down by F-16: reports

    跳过

  • The A-10 is vulnerable to AA and to fighters, that's why establishing F-16 patrols first is important. I'd also prefer that the A-10s either be escorted by or fly in mixed formations with Ukraine's Soviet era fighters.

  • Russian Su-34 supersonic fighter-bomber shot down by F-16: reports

  • Once they use those F-16s to establish air dominance someone needs to give them a few A-10s to help them speed up retaking their territory.

  • Jack the Ripper breakthrough as DNA 'finally unmasks serial killer'

    跳过

  • Yes, I edited my comment to fix the spelling. Thanks for letting me know about the error.

  • Jack the Ripper breakthrough as DNA 'finally unmasks serial killer'

    跳过

  • The DNA match that the author claims is very suspect. Here is a good article about why. The bullet points are:

    Shawl: There was no contemporary documentation that the shawl was recovered from the crime scene

    There was no contemporary documentation that the Inspector that supposedly took the shawl and gifted it to his wife was at the crime scene

    The shawl was silk and had an expensive design making it unlikely that Eddowes would have owned it

    DNA: The DNA collected and compared was mitochondrial DNA which is far less unique than nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA is generally considered exclusory rather than inclusory

    The shawl was not kept free from contamination, descendents of both the identified victim and the identified suspect are known to have handled the shawl prior to testing

    On top of the problematic DNA match from his last book the author is now layering on conspiracy theories concerning Freemasons and antisemitism for his new book to draw even more questionable conclusions.

  • If drug dealers question the police on planting stuff or saying it was someone elses. Can they not request a fingerprint test?

    跳过

  • The request would be made to the court during discovery and, if it was granted, the test would be done by an independent lab. The department could lose/destroy the evidence before it could be tested but that would likely prevent the evidence from being used at trail and it's hard to prosecute someone for a drug offence if you can't tell the jury that you found drugs. Ultimately it's not a great plan anyway. If they didn't find any finger prints then the prosecutor will find some "expert" to testify that drug dealers always wipe down their baggies and wear gloves, if they only find the officer's finger prints then he'll testify that he accidentally handled it without gloves while logging it into evidence.

    Who is your hero from history?

    跳过

  • The Fat Electrician's video was great but he I feel left out a couple of things that I think are important to add. First is that he used his influence in the Russian court to advocate for the end of the surf system. Slavery was his primary focus but he actively opposed all forms of indentured servitude and was involved in the freeing of more forced laborers than any other single individual in history. Also he negotiated the purchase of Alaska.

    Second is Clay's Battalion. When the Civil War began Washington DC was undefended and there was an order to evacuate because of fears that Virginia would get soldiers there before the Federal Army. Clay was in Washington to be appointed as the ambassador to Russia and, during the evacuation, he started grabbing men off the street to defend the capital. He organized about 300 defenders and occupied the White House and the Navy Yard until federal troops arrived to take over.

  • In American politics the "love it or leave it" trope you are using is undeniably right-wing rhetoric. It was first popularized in that form by McCarthy and Nixon as a response to civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protests. It has since been used by Reagan, both Bushes, and Trump primary in response to either protests or immigrants that they believe have not sufficiently assimilated into American culture. It's also probably the most unAmerican trope currently used in American political discourse. Protest and criticism of government is fundamental to America's history and identity and is covered by 3 of the freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment.

  • Judge weighs whether to dismiss movie armorer’s conviction in fatal set shooting by Alec Baldwin

    跳过

  • There should be outrage if everyone walks away from this without any real consequences, there was significant negligence and disregard for safety on the movie set and it resulted in a death. This conviction should be overturned anyway. There isn't even the illusion of fairness or justice when the state is allowed to hide and even destroy evidence as they have in this case. For the state to strip rights and freedoms from a person it is incumbent upon the state to prove that the person has committed the crimes of which they have been accused and to do so in a fair and open process.
