Because I’m right, and there are downvotes. People use the downvote button to disagree, so they are wrong, because what I said is a fact 🤷‍♀️

There is a massive, concerted effort by the right wing to take over or government, and nobody seems to care enough to stop them, so they’re probably going to pull it off this time.

And I’ll want an apology - when I’m right and not before - because I’ve had a really hard day. I answer questions all day, and get told I don’t know what I’m talking about when I do, and then I have to explain why I’m right every single time. I always get told I don’t know what I’m talking about, and then I turn out to be right.

I was looking for a couple of events, and one of them was the court making Trump above the law. I didn’t think there was any way that could work, because they’d have to ignore the Constitution. But here we are, so all bets are off and I don’t have any hope the good guys will win anymore.

Good. Traitorous cunt.

Uh-huh. Ignore everything else that’s happened just this year, then. Ignore all the obvious preparations they’ve been making, how they’ve stacked the courts. It’s gonna work out great.

Bush v. Gore. Contention, no proof. Since when has this SCOTUS ever shied from doing something it “can’t”? Roe v. Wade. Presidents are kings.

Sorry bud, it’s not looking good, and believe you me will I be voting. But it’s not even a question that they’re trying coup 2.0.

Won’t make a difference. SCOTUS will hand the presidency to Trump regardless of outcome.

Edit: Since when has this SCOTUS ever shied from doing something it “can’t”? Roe v. Wade. Presidents are kings. Church as state. Vote anyway, I am, but they’re trying a second coup and they might well succeed this time. You can all apologise for not listening after they do it.

Yeah, she waived her right to anonymity, not automatically. She chose to, and it’s her lawyers arguing these videos should be seen by the world. She is willing to give up her privacy like that to show exactly what these monsters will do to defenseless people. Absolute badass.

This is not incorrect data, that is the definition of a school incident. A firearm was found in or near a school. It is not a school shooting, but every school shooting begins with a school incident because it is not possible to shoot in a school without a gun near or in the school.

But this data is not being presented in its entirety as school shooting data, in any instance you’ve cited. Only the data for incidents which involved a shooting in a school is presented as school shooting data.

Dammit, that’s better.

Nope, bad data is incorrect data. This is not incorrect, we just don’t like the way it’s presented.

I misunderstood, it read in the conversation like you were rejecting NPR saying the actual numbers were pretty hard to confirm (which does make sense, what school official is going to want to talk to the press about violence that happened in their school?), and I couldn’t figure out why 😅 Thanks for clarifying that!

I agree it should be separated, but that doesn’t make it bad data. Unless you don’t know how to read tables, but that’s more of an individual problem than an issue with the information provided.

That link shows “school incidents”, not “school shootings”:

edit: clarified my misunderstanding

If you want a better source, that’s fine; I don’t have one, I’m not that other guy and I’m not trying to prove anything myself. I just want to know what’s wrong with NPR as a source, or what’s wrong with that particular article.

I think you might be taking issue with the fact that this guy wants to say the Gun Violence Archive counts non-shooting incidents as shootings? He’s wrong, they don’t; that GVA link points to “school incidents”, where even finding a gun is counted. CNN’s methodology for counting seems reasonable.

Sorry bud, I do usually agree with you, but I think you might be in the wrong on this one. Why don’t you find the NPR article convincing that maybe these numbers are might be inflated (edit: didn’t mean to use a declarative statement there)? Are you contending that NPR is misrepresenting the numbers and/or trying to push an agenda? They don’t really have a track record of either as far as I’m aware.

edit 2: leaving this because it’s still true:

Looking at the actual scope of an issue isn’t downplaying it. Nor is checking if the reporting is accurate. And accurate reporting (of data, I mean, as opposed to news) is extremely important when passing laws, so it is something to care about.

I see a “Bibi defEnder of Israel” sign in that second screenshot you posted. Doesn’t sound like those guys are too happy about Bibi or the war.

How about unless you know every Israeli, you don’t just paint them all with the same brush? The people are not the government, and Israeli protesters are being suppressed with extreme violence: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-06-21/ty-article-magazine/.premium/israeli-police-crack-down-on-protesters-with-violence-false-arrests-and-surveillance/00000190-3a6a-dea6-add5-faea16460000

This shit needs to end, Bibi is going to start World War Fucking Three at this rate, but do not for a second believe that the Israeli population is united behind him. They’re not, no matter what the poll numbers Bibi approves for publication might say.

No. Israeli is a nationality. Nazi is a political ideology.

They’re Zionazis.

Check out some trailers for Falling Frontier, it looks like it has a lot of potential at least.

Can you elaborate on how and why Israel is such an important ally? It’s got to be more than just a foothold in the region, surely?

Well yeah, doxxing is irresponsible and can get people killed. Don’t do it, not even when someone is being a massive suppurating arsehole about things.
