Does anyone know of a site/channel/whatever doing non-clickbait analysis of the Trump trial? Getting tired of literally everything on media outlets being about Cohen when, honestly, I don't think he's that important to the case itself.

That's hilarious if true.

One thing I wonder is, the media really latches on to the Cohen thing because it's the kind of juicy clickbait that the public wants to read, but how much does the jury actually care? It sounds like Cohen's only really testifying to back up the documentary evidence, not to actually prove separate allegations. Blanche is going hard on Cohen probably because Trump ordered him to, because Trump wants to harass his opponents as much as possible, but I'm not sure it's a good defense strat.

That's the thing though, pretty much every attorney Trump's had hasn't really tried to win the case as much as spew Trump's histrionics in the courtroom. Their goal isn't to win in court, their goal is to keep the donations coming from their base.

I think the prosecution is well aware that Cohen has a lot of credibility issues. From what I read, it seemed like the prosecution mostly wanted him to testify to verify the documentary evidence that ties him and Trump to the scheme.

Regardless of Cohen's issues with perjury before congress and in court, the defense hasn't done anything to explain away the documentation and Trump's admissions that he reimbursed Cohen for the hush money payment. Nor have they done anything to explain away the fact that they falsified documents in attempt to cover it all up.
Trump's goal was never to win this in court. Trump wants to play public opinion while making life as hell as possible for people who dare cross him. That's why the gag order pisses him off so much, because it stops him from doing either one.

I've heard everything ranging from the prosecution's case was wiped out, to it was nothing significant. I'm guessing it was somewhere in the middle. There's still plenty of evidence outside of Cohen.

ssjevot posted...
MBTI is not considered a valid personality test. And stuff like OCEAN (Big 5, whatever you want to call it) is pretty well regarded. It's just OCEAN is boring because it's a good test. You don't get a type with cool stories, instead you get told how you compare to population means on five dimensions. So the sad truth is valid tests aren't popular for the exact reasons they are valid. No one wants to do boring math, they want a label and a story.
Oh yeah, I know. I studied psych (though not personality specifically) and MBTI is basically the equivalent of Freudian psychoanalytics in personality:

The test relies on the Barnum effect, flattery, and confirmation bias, leading participants to personally identify with descriptions that are somewhat desirable, vague, and widely applicable.[5] As a psychometric indicator, the test exhibits significant deficiencies, including poor validity, poor reliability, measuring supposedly dichotomous categories that are not actually independent, and not being comprehensive.[6][7][8][9] Most of the research supporting the MBTI's validity has been produced by the Center for Applications of Psychological Type, an organization run by the MyersBriggs Foundation, and published in the center's own journal, the Journal of Psychological Type (JPT), raising questions of independence, bias and conflict of interest.[10]

Myers-Briggs is not well-regarded at all scientifically. Granted, the topic of personality in psychology is a lot of unknowns (a lot of it is based on how you define things), but still.

If someone rejects you purely because of a personality test, they're probably saving you a lot of time and trouble down the road. They're just not worth the effort.

It's not so much the stats as knowing how to manipulate the AI. There is an element of luck, for sure, like winning the first blitz off, but then it's fairly simple to play defensive until the second half when you can get sphere/Jecht shot. You can even go on the offensive in the first half and with some luck Tidus can score.

By "knowing how to play blitzball" I didn't mean just the rules and controls, I meant knowing how to play around the AI.
I don't mean they're unbeatable, I simply mean that their stats are pretty high very early on compared to other teams.

First game is relatively simple if you know how to play blitzball. On a first playthrough though it's babies first match so it's gonna feel incredibly hard and unfair. And to be fair, for a lot of people even on subsequent playthroughs it's hard because they wouldn't have invested the time into playing it after the mandatory game.

Edit: now on the other hand, if they had you playing the Al Bhed Psyches in the first match, that would be near impossible. Probably why they had that one be a story win.
I'm not sure, the Goers actually have rather high stats Lv1-3, it's just that they suck after that.

They want to sanitize the boards for their eventual plan to merge gamefaqs and all their gaming wikis. From gamefaqs youll have a link to the relevant wiki. From a wiki youll have a link to the relevant message board and guides.
I'd also point out that Fandom has literally never wanted its sites to have distinct cultures or communities. They're the kings of corporate whitewash online.

I can't speak for the site under Fandom, but in the past mods generally had no more advanced notice of those things than other users did.

I absolutely agree with the idea that are personal and private information absolutely needs to have stronger protections so it can not be used in dubious ways. It's bad that the internet has largely turned into a vehicle to harvest our information.

What the TikTok ban has failed to demonstrate is how TikTok is doing this demonstratively worse than Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. Beyond the fact that it's Chinese-owned. If they were really concerned about our user information, they would have passed a law protecting that, not just banning a platform they didn't like.
They're doing this so they can scream about Communism for November.
