If you have a crowd of 1000 people and 6 of them are causing trouble, arresting those 6 entails identifying them

No, the 6 wouldn't get arrested because they're part of a protest. I know you have difficulty with abstract thinking so recall the actual news reports from 2020 and the reporters standing in front of buildings on fire. Now you might think that the people who set the fire are guilty of arson, and the other protesters are accomplices, and the news reporter who downplayed the seriousness of the crime are complicit in it and inciting people to commit more. But think about everything that's not on fire. Since as a whole it's still mostly peaceful it qualifies as being part of a protest and the arson isn't that much of an issue.

You might have been concerned about the stores that were smashed up and looted. And the cost of just clearing away the debris is more than insurance (if they had any) will pay out to the owner thus ruining their livelihoods. But remember that it's not on the scale you would see if there had been enough violence to call it a riot so it's fine.

conspiracy by the government to *checks notes* erode its own ability to enforce its laws

I don't know where you got those notes, or what they're for, but they don't pertain to anything I've said.

adjl posted...

So long as they're mostly peaceful, there are no grounds for arresting most of the people present. Therein we arrive at one of the major challenges in arresting troublemakers in large protests: finding them.

I don't think that's how that works. So long as the protest as a whole is mostly peaceful no one participating in the protest can get in trouble. You need to think more collectivist to understand it.

Protests are still bound by law and might even require a permit for the event.

Nah, as long as they're mostly peaceful the rest doesn't matter.

Their right to protest.

They were trespassing.

What argument are you attempting to make?

What argument are you attempting to make?

That they should not have been arrested as the right to protest supersedes any laws that may be broken as a result. As evident by the 2020 protests.

Does this sound like discrimination to you?

You are certainly making it sound that way. But I have questions.

mrduckbear posted...

When she refused, her application which was approved before and got the job was then withdrawn and another application went nowhere.

If they don't want to promote her then why approve it at first? Did they think promoting her would get her to grow her hair out then realized it wouldn't?

mrduckbear posted...

She got so many complaints on her hair being "too short"

I thought the military required people to have short hair.

hired for a civilian human resources position while still deployed in Qatar in 2019

So I think what happened is she was offered the position while she was deployed and they hadn't met her until the deployment ended. But the military should have photos of everyone they deploy. What she looks like wouldn't have been a surprise to anyone.

mrduckbear posted...

Does this sound like discrimination to you?

The more I think about it the more it sounds like she didn't get along with the people she was working with and wants to make it about them being at fault.

Then don't. It's a perfectly valid option to not do that.

Umm, man made climate change has very much been scientifically proven. As has evolution. What the fuck are you on because I want some.

I guess... if you stop at the hypothesis stage.

Judges everyone by their character

Everything you described relates to actions and character of the people he doesn't like dealing with at work. I'm going to infer that it's a cultural group as you mentioned a type of food they're known to make. It might be bigoted to assume everyone of that cultural group shares those traits but race is not the same as culture.

adjl posted...

They just indicated that arresting somebody for trespassing/vandalism is really hard in the middle of a riot

So if they had set more things on fire they would have been left alone?

adjl posted...

Had 6 BLM protesters broken into a building, they would have been similarly arrested.

... and immediately released.

BlackScythe0 posted...

They were engaged in civil disobedience.

Which seems to have recently become a human right.

BlackScythe0 posted...

a thing you know is going to get you arrested

You don't get arrested for exercising a human right. Recent events have informed the public that they won't be arrested for protesting.

There's conspiracy theories about everything.

Is there a conspiracy theory about why there are so many conspiracy theories?

That's the Freemason Square and Compasses. But I don't know what category applies to them. It does reference technology. There are conspiracy theories about them. Due to political polarization everything is either left or right wing depending on the ideology of the person complaining about it. I don't think it relates to food, sports, or pets.

You don't have a right to protest by breaking into a building.

The 2020 protests indicated otherwise.

What about their right to protest?

Biden pulling from the Trump playbook.

I don't see how this Trumps thing. Democrats spent 4 years challenging the legitimacy of an election.

She doesn't seem very bright. Hitler died nearly 70 years ago, long before any of these children would have been born.

This is what I was thinking.

NASA has determined that in order to be considered a planet...
1) It must orbit a star.
What about rogue planets?

2) It must be big enough to have enough gravity to force it into a spherical shape.
What about gas planets?

3) It must be big enough that its gravity cleared away any other objects of a similar size near its orbit around the Sun.
Pluto and Neptune cross orbit, though Neptune is much larger.

Think about it. They don't believe climate change is caused by humans even though sciences proves it. They don't believe in evolution and buys into creationism which was proven by science.

None of those have been scientifically proven.

What are the other seasons about?
The proto-molecule served its purpose.
I figure none of the Earth-Mars-Belter politics matter when the entire galaxy is open to them.
They might explore the new planets and figure out what happened to the ring builder civilization, but even then it was probably so long ago that whatever threat they faced is long gone.

You are aware that the amount of vaccinated in hospitals will increase when the majority are vaccinated, correct?

That's so strange. Isn't keeping people from needing to go to the hospital what the vaccine is for?

I don't like their interface. They keep displaying genres I don't care about. If there is something that sounds interesting I don't know what language it's going to be in because they don't filter for that. Even when it does have English audio it still might not be.

This shows me that there's barely any difference between vaxxed and unvaxxed. With the vaxxed getting sick just slightly more.

That could just be a quirk of Springfield. Like the one Blockbuster that's still open.

I thought it was introduced in the first episode of TNG. Apparently they had one in the animated series.

I misphrased that, the problem with The Borg in Voyager is that they were overused. And also that the show was Voyager.

I thought it ended when the other rings opened in that blue space.

They didn't appear a lot but when they did you get Locutus and Lore. But also Hue. The problem with Voyager was it overused The Borg.

No.

So in 7 1/2 months he has to do it again? I don't see how making him stay in Canada is doing anything other than giving into his request to stay in Canada.

I don't trust the legal system to discern who is racist. If they could do this reliably then many of the policy makers would be guilty.

To determine a given percentage of a number, you multiply the percentage by that number.

Let's try that...
25% of 40 = 25 * 40 = 1,000
20% of 10 = 20 * 10 = 200
80% of 20 = 80 * 20 = 1,600

You have to divide all of those by 100 to get the right answer.
1000 / 100 = 10
200 / 100 = 2
1,600 / 100 = 16

In other words the percentage has to be converted to a fractional value first.
25% = 25 / 100
0.33% = 0.33 / 100

Then you multiply the fractional value by the number.
40 * (25 / 100) = 10
300,000,000 * (0.33 / 100) = 990,000

adjl posted...

In this case, .33%*300,000,000=1 million.

you multiply the percentage (0.33) by that number 300,000,000
0.33 * 300,000,000 = 99,000,000
99,000,000 =/= 1 million
You're further off than I was.

adjl posted...

You don't actually realize how badly you botched the math there, do you?

Apparently no.

Edit:
Oh, I think I flipped the operators.
300,000,000 * (0.33 / 100) = 990,000
