Comment No; audit. Correlation is *NOT* causation. (Score 1) 165

Person, the reason the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... -- has the NULL HYPOTHESIS as "no correlation", is because OF THAT. Your senses LIE!!!!

Fucking take your left and right hand, and 3 buckets if water of different temperatures. Let's say ONE is HOT, ONE is COLD, and the final is LUKEWARM/GOLDILOCKS.

Put your left hand and right hand into C and H, respectively. Wait. Minute.

Put both in the lukewarm.

Do your hands agree on temperature?

No. Fucking pay attention to your mental biases. That's why science is a DISCIPLINE OF MIND.

FFS.

"This ALPR mass surveillance â" the indiscriminate, continuous collection and retention of location data on every driver, regardless of suspicion â" should not exist. But because it does..."

Because of all those who predate upon those with lack of critical thinking skills.

"Wake up to reality" is the double-think that they say is dumb when they pejoratively call people "woke."

"Woke" is just a word for "slave that doesn't know its place."

Well, now imagine you've got some weird irrational miswiring in your brain that puts gay sex on the same level as beating puppies to death. Those are the people you just have to wait for them to age out of society before their homophobia finally goes away.

Been 53 odd years since my Prime Minister declared that the government had no business being involved in what goes on in peoples bedrooms as long as there is consent and in that time gays etc were never cared about in my Provinces politics by either the right or the left until now. Polling shows acceptance of these things dropping as well. 50 years of acceptance going away rather then growing with the older people aging out.
I fully expect attacks on the left handed next, gotta be a choice to be left handed you know as normals are right handed

Here's the wiki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... which has a map. Basically from northern S. America north is 120 or so (Mexico is 120 and 127 for example) with lots of minor variation, 110-127 and 220-240 depending on location with a few weird ones.
I didn't realize there was such variation

So personal responsibility means being dependent on government keeping the roads working, dependent on oil companies selling you gas, dependent on auto manufacturers building and selling repairable cars and likely a bunch of other dependencies I haven't thought of in a couple of seconds like law enforcement to keep people obeying rules.

Yes, we've had self driving commuter trains since '86 with close to zero problems. no controls that I'm aware of and no backup diesel besides buses.
Of course it is a lot easier to have an automatic train, especially one with no at grade crossings then a vehicle in unpredictable traffic.

There's Libertarian Socialist too, though I doubt there's many in America, more of a European thing. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Libertarian socialism is an anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist political current that emphasises self-governance and workers' self-management. It is contrasted from other forms of socialism by its rejection of state ownership and from other forms of libertarianism by its rejection of private property. Broadly defined, it includes schools of both anarchism and Marxism, as well as other tendencies that oppose the state and capitalism.
