Not at all saying we shouldn't look into the abuse, but unless the victim tells someone, there's no way to know it's happening? I don't really get what you're suggesting here.

Often times the people this would hurt most would be the spouses of abusive individuals. They could force the receipt, and would be able to confirm their victim voted the way they were told.

In the US. I know exactly one store with the coin system. I love Aldi.

Natural peanut butter with no sugar added raspberry preserves, on multi grain bread

Please be "ai"... Please be "ai"...

I think it looks kinda cool, but it's also what everything else is. So the cool factor is a tad diminished.

I'll grab whichever option is cheapest for the specs I need to hit.

Harvard just released a free civics course. I've been looking into starting that.

I agree in part. But most of these people are as gullible as they are BECAUSE of religion. They're taught from birth to follow unquestioningly, and to trust their feelings over evidence. (I know, I was one) Without religion, then indoctrinating children wouldn't be as easy or widespread.

They're afraid because people keep going to them and shooting kids indiscriminately. They have to do active shooter drills because it's such a common occurrence. They don't need convincing, it's obvious

This is an excellent point, but if somebody doesn't stand up, it'll never get better. I'm a born citizen, and white dude, statistically I have a better chance than someone else. I saw CA is trying to pass a law not allowing these officers to wear masks. While they'll likely ignore it at first, simply record and call the police. Eventually they'll stop. Once they're exposed and can face consequences, most of the atrocious behavior will stop.

I'll own that

For real, avoiding those areas they mentioned only does two things

1. Shows that they fear getting shot or stabbed in those areas, which is directly counter to their attestation.
2. Indicates they're probably super racist, because how do you tell what is or isn't a "gang area"?

Kids here are afraid to go to school (for good reason), and people like this refuse to consider ANY worthwhile fixes.

The data is entirely clear, gun regulations reduce gun violence. Full stop.

If I see this, I fully plan on asking them for their identification, if they refuse I'll call the police on them. Masked armed men menacingly hanging out wherever they are.

That's the practical aspect, but I believe the dignity and respect shown throughout the process gives people some closure.

They were mostly like WW2 tanks from what I saw. I'm sure their weapons systems were dismantled or decommissioned

That was probably the actual software, when it's actually released it'll probably be human ran.

Can almost guarantee it's driven remotely by some underpaid Indian team

Heh, no I mean more like cook chicken all the way through, don't cross contaminate, etc
