Thank you! The strength of video games as a medium is interactivity. If it doesn't enhance my ability to exist and act in a virtual space it's essentially worthless to me. I want better physics, better AI, and more interesting mechanics, not better anti-aliasing and effects that mistake eyeballs for camera lenses.
Interesting study, shame they could only include data from the one county but data sets like this a very hard to come by.
Here's a surprising tidbit from the Discussion Section:
Given how widespread police stops are and their relationship to racial injustice, their political implications demand close study. What we find advances our understanding of how lower-level police contact affects political participation. We find that traffic stops reduce turnout among non-Black voters, with a smaller negative effect for Black voters.
Among other things, yep. She wrote a book on this topic, but you can hear her talk about it when she was on her publicity tour. That'll tell you everything you need to know. And the thing is ... she knows better. Her entire family threw shade at her for it.
"I hate an entire group of human beings based solely on factors mostly out of their control and expect to be respected for this," is certainly an interesting point of view.
By all means stay as far away from kids as possible and never have any. I for one will never pressure you on that front; much the opposite, in fact.
Ugh, please not Kamala. As CA AG she had some extremely scummy people in her orbit, one of which was known for making his secretary bend over so he could look at her ass. This dude was part of her entourage; she had to have known.
So yeah, people lie, but it's probably nowhere near what you're thinking. Consider the shit storm that making accusations against a company like LTT unleash. For most people, it won't be worth it. Some unknown amount of social media clout is not worth an unending stream of bile and death threats as well as the unknown effect on future employment prospects.
I understand the desire to reserve judgment, but I think whistleblowers like this should be treated with an open mind.
LTT is Linus Tech Tips, originally a YT channel where Linus and others discussed technology products, particularly pc gaming hardware. They got kinda big, and became a whole tech media company.
Madison was a former employee of the company who alleges that LTT leadership created a hostile work environment for her. Her accusations paint the company as filled with unempathetic tech bros who demand way too much productivity out of staff. Most seriously, there were accusations of sexual harassment by different team members, though not Linus himself that I'm aware of. She has a social media thread where she describes these accusations in detail and depth. If true they are very damning.
Doing something shitty to a trans person is only transphobia when you're doing it because they're trans, yet you've provided no substantive evidence for this claim. It also does not align with what Ernest has said in this thread and others. Saying shit like this without evidence is trashy and irresponsible and THAT is why you're being down voted. Do better.

I will be your Trek Friend so long as we can talk about the amazing duo that is Quark and Odo.
