    jeez. that’s a lot of ai slop just to say “you were right”.

    and to make things clear, i am absolutely not defending orange cheeto, i am saying it is useful to focus on a stuff that is clearly proven. because once you start including “maybe” accusations into your list, it is easy to discredit your criticism.








  • You’re on a US based social media website

    maybe they did not tell you that, but there is whole rest of the world behind us borders and not everything is “us based”.

    i am not us citizen on a website that is not hosted on us soil, doing something that is absolutely not illegal in my jurisdiction.

    the only international cooperation you would get from justice system in my country would be showing you the middle finger, because “american snowflake did not like something they read on the internet” is not a crime here. go back to comics, or cry to mods, whichever you prefer.








  • not how statistics work. percentages apply to sample of any size.

    imagine there were 100 voters in the last elections. trump got 50 of them and if he got all of this 15% group (unlikely, but it actually plays in his favor in this argument). that means 50*0,70=35 of his voters believed he was guilty and voted for him anyway.

    if someone asks why 0,70 and not 0,85 (1-0,15) it is based on assumption that the we believe he is not guilty group was largely voting for him, which is not unreasonable assumption. if some of them were actually voting for democrats, that makes the number of people voting for him despite believing he is a child rapist even higher.

    (this argument indeed ignores shift of this number in time).

    Even then, pretty sure he didn’t get 50% of the votes.

    even though it is irrelevant in this argument - he got 49.80% of votes and he won popular vote with 77,3M against harris’s 75M votes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election#Results



  • If you give people no credit for admitting they were wrong or give them no chance to atone, then you give them no reason to do it and they will continue down the path they are on. To me it is preferable that she stops being toxic vs her continuing if those are the two choices.

    i understand this argument, but if you enter politics by being willing to burn the society to the ground for your personal profit, that shouldn’t be easy to wave away. at least you shouldn’t be able to keep the profit from doing so.

    imagine i steel your wallet and then say “oh, i regret that, but i have changed and i am a better person now, so please like me. also i’d like to keep that wallet.” that would be clearly absurd, and she is in similar position.

    let her go work for the ngo and help poor people, after doing so for as long as she was evil, i may be willing to admit she really changed.
