The first point in the comic is certainly valid, giving the technical literacy of many people.

Sms has been god awful since the beginning, both the standard and the business implementation. Remember bullshit pricing models for texts? 10center per text over your limit. Even today, the standard hasn't kept up with modern times.

This isn't a rebuttal, I don't have one, but some nuance I hope is appreciated.

I looked at the studies a while back and read some discussions on the validity of them. I'll summarize what I recall. many people were misrepresenting them quite a bit. The people quoting this number often aim to shed cops in a bad light and will do so intentionally.

If I recall, 40% is the domestic violence coming from either member in the household. Not just the police officer.

Another thing was what the offers reported as violence. if I recall correctly "violence" could be defined as raising your voice to behaving violently. So I suppose that leaves room for some interpretation. But when the numbers are brought up, the claim is generally "40% of cops are wife beaters".

Lastly, these were studies from the 90s and the researcherd generally did their studies on a single urban police departments. So old data and not representative sample.

I don't trust the number at all with the data we have. The actual rate could be higher or lower, we need better data.

My memory could also be way off.

Fantastic game. So we'll written, designed, and artistically styled. I was blown away.

Why does every post miss the fact this poll is about support for the Oct 7th attack, which is what directly lead to the "murdering their children" part.

Another small detail, the "terrorism" here is destroying a planet killing device which had already been used on a peaceful civilization.

That's not how equity works in practice. It doesn't examine anyone's actual capabilities or disadvantages. They bucket large groups of people into categories they deem worthy to receive resources, despite their actual need. Every person has their individual story, challenges, and priveleges yet equity assumes otherwise, that you deserve compensation based on the group you were assigned to, not what you actually need.

I wasn't sure what handheld PC alternatives to steam deck were out and I just assumed they were low tier cheap versions. Wow was I wrong, those look nice, but get pricey. The specs look really good on that one you mentioned, the Ayaneo geek 1s.

As a steam deck owner I'm very happy with it, I've only used it in hand held mode. I just got the dock for it, I am a little concerned I'll notice any performance issues more when hooked up to a large screen. I would love some time to try these alternatives out.

If you watch a decent amount of youtube, remove ads is worth it imo. Maybe not $14 a month worth it, but I can't fucking stand ads.
