- Eggsellence parentI think he is suggesting the opposite - use more verbose names for clarity.
- I've been Todoist user for many years, premium user as of this year. As well as reminders, tasks, and appointments, I use it to quickly take notes, record thoughts, etc.
It's been great until this week when I hit their ridiculously low limit: 300. That's not many tasks/notes, especially as each sub task is counted individually too.
Why is it so low? I'm a paying user. I'm probably burdening their servers with all of 10kB of text! It's such a gut punch, it makes me regret paying for it a little, just because of how petty and hostile it comes across and because of how needlessly disruptive it is to my usage.
If anyone from Todoist happens to see this, please bump that up by an order of magnitude or two. For premium users, at least. It's awful. It breaks your product for me.
- You wouldn't be surprised if RT went on the defence for a disgraced Russian. Don't be so surprised that the NYT, too, does so for one of their own.
- Because all hell would break loose if the general American public understood the magnitude of the problem of black violence and crime. It doesn't align with the interests of political or media elites to demonise blacks, while they rub their hands gleefully over the prospect of an evil White shooter.
According to Wikipedia, 4 of the 6 sources for definitions of mass shootings in America specifically exclude "gang" related shootings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_...
How convenient.
- How certain can we be that those groups hadn't simply reached the limits of their capacity for expansion?
Aboriginal Australians have one of the lowest average IQs of any ethnic group on earth, they had little to no concept of agriculture or weaponry, and existed in relatively small disjointed tribes rife with infighting and appalling violence in an unforgiving climate.
Were these people capable of organising, planning, equipping, strategising, and executing an assault on their neighbours? Would it have even been worth it - what would they gain? Even if capable, they may have been wisely unwilling.
I think it's incredibly naive to think that a capable tribe of Aboriginal Australians would have left their defenceless neighbours in peace if they stood in the way of valuable resources. Or that this didn't indeed occur countless times in relatively small skirmishes.
- This is not unique to Europeans to the extent that the suggestion is borderline racist.
It might be more accurate to say that every people engage(d) in this nature to the extent that they are capable, and that, in relatively modern recorded history, Europeans have proven themselves to be by far the most capable in that regard.
So capable that they are perhaps the first people ever to police themselves in moderation of this behaviour, often explicitly and deliberately acting in the interests of alien people to their own detriment. That is unique.
- Horizon gives me that priceless feeling that the software is working with me rather than against me. I love it. It's beautiful. It deserves to be far more popular.
- That may be, but it's an objective fact that gun violence stats are strongly correlated with race. You are free to investigate or speculate on the underlying reasons for that. I didn't offer my perspective.
- Of course I'd be flagged/banned for publicly suggesting a genetic factor behind that correlation, so I wouldn't do that. I only highlighted the correlation, and it is a very strong one, between race and rate of homicide by firearm in the US. Our own biases are going to heavily influence what we perceive to be the underlying reason behind this phenomenon.
- Europe has mostly Europeans, Asia mostly Asians, Oceania (Aus & NZ) mostly Europeans.
Unsurprisingly, then, if you break down the rate of homicide by firearm in the US by race, you see similar statistics. ie. European/White Americans have a rate that puts them among the safer European countries; African Americans are among the highest in the world.
- This reporting is malicious. It's designed to disinform to stoke racial turmoil and chaos. Consider how deliberate this wording is, and that it's buried right at the end of the article:
>The construction worker, who was months away from becoming a father when he was shot, died in hospital the following day.
>It later emerged the Audi Mr Kaba was driving, which did not belong to him, had been linked by police to a gun incident the day before.
It almost sounds as if Chris Kaba was a law-abiding family man in the wrong place at the wrong time. Having not heard of this case before now, I looked it up, and this man in fact was in the process of conspiring with six others to brutalize and murder another man, was followed and blocked by police, refused to comply with orders, and attempted to flee (putting the officers in harm's way) when an officer fired the fatal shot.
No doubt this disinformation contributed to the false sense of injustice that led to protests by blacks under the impression that they are being targeted by racist, murderous police. No doubt White Brits will be appalled and dumbfounded by the breakdown of law and justice in their indigenous homeland as violent criminals and their kin react with shock and uproar when encountering resistance by law enforcement.
Utterly disgraceful.
- The vehicle in the video in the linked article appears to be a MG ZS EV. The wheels are distinctive.
