While telling us an anecdotal story, you also tell us to just trust you, it's easier in NY.
In so many words, BAC was saying less economically capable people are too dumb to figure things out on their own.
Dax, they have an empirical process for validating election results. It's called auditing. It happens frequently. And the results of the audits are pretty consistent. There absolutely is voter fraud. And it's in the dozens upon dozens. A statistically irrelevant amount. This had been the case forever. I'm sorry that doesn't align with your worldview.

As with many things in NY you probably can't just show up willy nilly and expect a positive outcome. You can't just get on the subway, you need a MetroCard (granted you can get them right there in pretty much every subway station) but point being in a lot of cases you have to go through some bureaucracy, but those are typically pretty minor. And once there things go pretty quick, they got millions of people to deal with so they have to operate as a well oiled machine out of basic necessity. NY really does encourage civic participation. Texas is intentionally trying to make it more opaque

This from a dude who attempted to convey a message that possibly having to show up at drivers license office every . . . 16 years, was voter suppression and a Republican plot to subvert the minority vote in Texas.
While also conveying a message that people of a lower economic stature are complete idiots utterly incapable of navigating the most basic foundations of an organized society and completely incapable of planning in advance to do anything.
I don't have a vivid enough imagination to figure out what sort of doxastic closure led you to that conclusion from anything I posted.

Wow ok I guess I'll be the chiefs one. We had a Mazda mpv. When you saw that Sears es-cargo strapped to the roof it was like when all of the power rangers did the thing.
Really sad fact: we were in that very van, December 1998, st Louis bound, when the transmission died a painful death so we had to be towed back to Wichita from like emporia I think. To this day I still hold the belief that had I made it to the game, my incredible enthusiasm and face paint would have been that extra bit to get us to the Natty.

dax i don't know what to tell you man, it seems we are making completely separate arguments. there's a law/policy/process in place. a change is made to that law/policy/process. There's a delta there. You are essentially making the argument that the delta is inconsequential, nothing to see here. I'm saying it does matter, actually, and examining who is impacted by that delta.
In this case, its fair to say that nobody directly benefits from making a process more convoluted. Indirectly, republican politicians and citizens who identify as republican stand to gain from that delta b/c its going to create more road blocks for the people that would be voting against them.
I'm not going to have that argument with you. You can go back to school and take every class in the sociology department to get a better grasp on why X leads to Y.
if they decided to really start cracking down on cocaine, it would affect white people way more than it would POC.
if they decided to make it actually somewhat difficult to obtain automatic weapons instead of just giving them out like candy to anyone who can see over the counter, mass shootings would happen less frequently, and there would be fewer mass shooting casualties.
if they started cracking down on people who drive like douchebags, you would be seeing a disproportionate uptick in bmw drivers receiving citations.
in order to have any sort of meaningful discussion (something i know you have absolutely 0 interest in) both parties have to agree that some things just are what they are. I'm not going to debate you whether or not water is wet, or the sky is blue.

like i said, that kind of alibi is by no means exculpatory. If you were a person of interest before giving that alibi, you're still going to be a person of interest after.

because a lot of upstanding citizens are living paycheck to paycheck at hourly jobs, many of them being shiftwork, and while i can't say this is a matter of fact from top to bottom, but its safe to say that most shiftwork type jobs (waiters, factory jobs, retail, etc) you can't just stroll in a couple hours late. You're either there for your shift or you're not. And if you're not then that shift had better have been covered by someone else or you are definitely fired. So that means no income for you that day. or they would have to take a different shift that would make their miserable lives trying to scratch out a paltry existence that much more miserable.
is this really that hard to understand, dax? please tell me you don't think the world is all salaried positions with flexible bosses who will let you take time out of your workday to take care of things like that.

« on: April 17, 2024, 01:53:49 PM »You think I'm murdering someone with my (known) phone on me? Yeah, you definitely couldn't get away with it.
i didn't want to expound too much in that last post, but the cell phone thing is kind of a double edged sword for those looking to do a murder. Like if you have your phone with you then yeah, you are going to be in all the wrong places and will have some explaining to do. But if you leave it at home, the cops are gunna be like, huh, so for the window of time where this crime took place you (and your phone) were at home, using no data...didn't make a call or send a text or read gE or play candycrush or nothin for that entire time. And i mean yeah sure you can say you were taking a nap but the point is your sus lack of phone activity during the critical timeframe aint gunna get you off the suspect list.
I did see a dateline where the guy had his sidepiece come over and stay at his apartment all day, play on his phone, watch netflix, send text messages, while he drove (her car) 8 hours to go kill his estranged wife...even went to the trouble of filling up a couple of gas cans so that he wouldn't have to stop for gas and show up on some gas station surveillance video. But obvs that only would work if you had an accomplice willing to participate.

my theory is not a chance. with all of the surveillance that is everywhere, the myriad of ways you can be tracked via a gps signal, and with the popularity of ancestry.com et al, there is absolutely no way you can pull it off w/o being caught on camera or pinging off a cell phone tower or whatever at some point during the commissioning of the crime. And then if you leave any dna whatsoever at the crime scene you are toast.
my tinfoil hat conspiracy is that since cops cant legally access your Ring footage without your permission, if <the person whose ring camera was pointed in the right direction> doesn't give cops permission then they still do it anyway to figure out who they like as a suspect, and then they just have to go about a different way of proving it was you that doesn't include the fact that you showed up on the Ring camera

« on: April 17, 2024, 10:21:47 AM »Have you heard of DoorDash?
fair, i guess for those types of services i think the scope is limited to a few specific things. pick up (from a verified grocery store) and deliver my groceries. pick up (from a verified restaurant) and deliver my food. Do that dabble in the nebulous stuff like "hey go to this address and pick up this thing and deliver it to here" i mean i would guess 19 times out of 20 that is moving drugs
full disclosure, i rarely use these types of services and i am very uneducated in what all is allowed.

I'm not a regular Uber user, how did this scammer manage to get an Uber driver to go to a residence to "pickup a package"?
apparently the passenger can be a parcel and the drop off destination can be the post office or ups store etc. Not sure if that's a common use for uber but man, if i was an uber driver i would absolutely decline what appears to be running someone's errands.
