Okay cool, so the women who make accounts then can still use them, awesome.

Alright, sure. The company will rigorously dig through the data to exactly remove exactly the specific accounts that aren’t real and deftly deal with it, and it won’t be some intern with a weeks training in paper docs from three years ago. No, it’ll be people who will know to do exactly those things. And the data you’re scraping to sell, well, no-one will mind you splicing out data you claim isn’t real and was fake, no they’ll be fine with that. Then when that intern is gone–and they didn’t log anything because they were never taught to–and the new intern arrives, they’ll know to continue exactly where they should, and at no point will anyone fuck up the dates, times, or additions from previous months. At each and every stage exactly what has to happen will happen, and no code changes, updates, or manager-directives will change any of these parts in any way. The addition of anywhere from dozens to hundreds to even tens of thousands of new accounts will be easy to deal with, because this has all been prepared ahead of time, and will immediately be dealt with. It won’t take weeks of meetings on how to tackle it, by whom, and what to push back - because they use waterfall/agile, and it’s a foolproof system where you don’t just punt things forward, you deliberately and delicately lay out each and every change that will now take place mixed with the 2 years that have already been planned out.

Absolutely everything will be covered and not a single thing will get through, and they’ll carefully and easily parse through the data with zero issues on the demand of a very competent government that doesn’t show any signs of issue whatsoever.

So you’re saying if a woman made an account during this time, and threw garbage data in, they’d disregard it and then a month later she could use it for real?

(Also you guys are hilarious about how quickly you can just ‘do that’ because I’ve never worked at any software company where the devs who made the initial code are even still at the company a year or two later.)

Oh absolutely, in my city (in Canada) we have the highest paid and least effective cops in the country. Our cops will gear up like they’re in Afghanistan to arrest old grandmas in Fairy Creek but call them about an assault and see if you get someone that night.

Oh for overall crimes, absolutely, I was referring to just murder (https://www.themarshallproject.org/2022/01/12/as-murders-spiked-police-solved-about-half-in-2020), but also keep in mind ‘solved’ means ‘we convicted someone’ which, you know…

Sure but if you’re in the US it’s basically 50/50 you’ll be caught.

Ok boomer

I’ve heard the story, and it is perfect but my brain absolutely struggles to read it. It manages to sound close while being mostly wrong, haha.

Pet Sematary, two A’s one E.

The name has irked me for ages, it’s so wrong and so famous, haha.

I’m very proud of you, it is so fuckin’ hard, and you did it :)

“I just reread The Left Hand Of Darkness last month, and it’s such a great book.”

It was my introduction to her writing, and wow what a fucking book. I read it in two days, I couldn’t put it down.

Well, I recently lost, like, 50% of my credibility as an intellectual as I stopped smoking.

Hey, congrats!

Hello, Wisconsin!

Holy shit, forty three year old millennial here and I actually got it right.

Now to celebrate with a nice ibuprofen for my back.

She started with ‘the Nazi’s didn’t target transgender people’ which is…

You know, provably wrong.

And since she’s hanging out with more and more Nazi’s, it’s getting worse.

(EDIT: I think this video with Matt Bernstein and Natalie Wynn does a great job of explaining the current path Rowling is on. )

Also the article is from 2021, and mentions that the movements is at the beginning. Is the movement still active? Are the issues the same as the main BLM?

How is that relevant? The same fucking issue was protested all over the place. Hell, even my fellow punks are still at it.

Since June, the group say “racist scenes” on Sylt have increased attacks on refugees and asylum seekers after a clip of Germans chanting the Nazi slogan “Germany for the Germans – foreigners out” in a nightclub went viral.

The fight is the same, the location is the difference.

specifically made a point about European policies being racist.

By saying they’re xenophobic. Racism is xenophobic. It’s a root word we use for people who’re against people who don’t look/sound/whatever like they do. Racism is a specific target of that, but is still xenophobic. Being an elevated grammar nazi doesn’t mean it’s somehow better. “We don’t specifically hate black people, we hate non-white people.” Like congrats, your racism-apologism remains.

I am trying to explain to a stubborn american

And I remain a stubborn Canadian.

this shows how little it makes sense to talk about “in Europe” as if it’s a uniform thing.

Sure is.

The American racial dynamics are completely different from european ones.

I would say that European immigration policies are xenophobic

This is what you’ve been responding to this entire time:

To anyone reading this, this is textbook red herring fallacy. He’s changed it to ‘xenophobia and racism are totally different’ and then went mask-off with “In Europe something like black lives matter (and the reactionary all lives matter) do not exist because the societies are different.”
