Yeah, if they keep escalating things then I wholly agree that it’s when-not-if situation. Fuckers are just waiting for it, too.
Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.

How many of those ICE arrests have been at the border vs. the violent arrests in the cities? Not discounting the inevitability, just curious what the rate actually is


The stereotype is that all “americans own guns” and nope - guns are expensive, your shittiest hipoint is still going to run you more than $200. The extremely poor communities they’re primarily persecuting aren’t the kind of people that can afford to have an arsenal, on top of many of them being very liberal-leaning. They very explicitly aren’t going after groups that can fight back.


Sherlock keeping a receipt could… have given me a clue?
what???


I am starting to get the feeling maybe sherlock should have kept the recipt…


Oh christ on a biscuit it’s you again. Just FYI, I’m not a product of the american educational system.


Where did OP imply they at all thought this was a good thing?
If you are pregnant it can wildly affect your lab results, too.
And aside from the concern about a fetus, it can mess (very dramatically) with your lab results.
Depends on your definition of “damn near everywhere” I guess.
Well I suppose that’s fair. It would be nice to have an understanding of that ambiguity extended towards my own comments, but sure. For example here:
I think it’s pretty silly to hear someone say something is everywhere and assume that someone meant that the entire US is covered by only this exact type of road.
Which isn’t even what I’m doing.
I think there are some real issues with the assumptions here - you’re trying to claim that these kinds of development are common, something I’ve already said I agree with. But population density has never come into this until you brought it up, and that urban areas contain the majority of the population hasn’t been contested either. Your own initial claim was narrow in scope (though I would still very much argue they’re misinformed), but they were made in support of an absurd claim and that’s primarily what’s being discussed.
Incidentally while the prior claim was never “most people live within ten miles of a development or developed road like this” this is a claim you could absolutely support by just going to the collected data and doing the analysis yourself (ideally before the trump admin takes it all down…) using (I recommend) QGIS (another GIS modeling tool will work too, just never ever arc. Fuck arc, and especially fuck that sexist POS Jack Dangermond). This isn’t hard, it’s on the level of a freshman GIS assignment, and I wholeheartedly encourage you to learn about it because GIS is extremely cool and important! (Helpfully there are plenty of people that have already done analysis on questions extremely similar to or identical to this which you can use as examples).
I will also very happily help you with this if you would like to DM me, I have a GIS course coming up and this will make an excellent introductory assignment so it would be very useful to run through it before developing it into actual coursework.
(Side note: If 80% of the population lives within an urban area, why does only 25% of the population live within 1/2km of a high-density road? It’s not a gotcha I promise, it’s just that the difference in definitional scope between the wikipedia page and your first claim about 25% of the population is really stark and it’s a great example of why you can’t simply conflate two datasets and draw conclusions from the results - there does need to be some effort expended on ensuring that the data does indeed say what you mean it to say)
Mate the argument isn’t that the entire US looks like this.
But it’s damn near everywhere in the US and it’s ugly as sin.
That is exactly the argument that was made. Population density has never come into this. Also the basis that nearly everyone lives within 5-10 miles of a scene like that is a (simplistically, because we’re talking about structures on a line) 10-20 mile stretch without that kind of development (so definitionally not the whole US) and a claim you have nothing on which to base it except that 1/4 of people in the country live in the big cities - which is not news.
So you took a tour of freeways, and conclude that’s what the whole US looks like? I don’t think anyone’s arguing there aren’t a huge number of places like the above, but those places make up a minuscule percentage of the whole US. It’d be like driving the Autobahn and concluding the whole of Europe looks like that.


There is no hell - if we want them to ever face some kind of punishment for their actions, we’re gonna have to do it ourselves…

Duplicity! Scoundrel!
They do appear to be regular bootlicking enthusiasts, not actual collaborators. There’s a fair amount of scrutiny on them.
IDK about the admins, but community mods in the lemmyverse can ban other users for whatever reason they want and that happens all the time (“serial downvoting” is the most common excuse I’ve seen, the pro-AI communities do it all the time to shore up the walls of their echo chambers…). At the admin level, .world notoriously rarely bans at the instance level, whereas .ml … does tend to do that, yeah.


To top it off: The evil feds have set up a twisted profit incentive. These AI companies will be “compensated based on a share of averted expenditures.” In other words, they’ll get a cut. The more claims the companies deny, the more money they get.
just sickening.
We’ve seen SMCF’s dreams.
They need to stay dreams.
jjgod is the only one I remember, jjcoin and jjfly might have been ones too? Man I played the -heck- out of that game as a kid…
Yes, and people can’t afford either of them.
