Websites have false positives all the time and while it sucks, it's infeasible for them to have human reviewers checking everything and it's better to have false positives than false negatives... What isn't acceptable is that the appeals process uses the exact same models as the flagging process so it gets the exact same false positives and false negatives...

Pic related as it was one of the first to reveal how broken the appeals process in most social media platforms was.

Most places is a stretch... They're invasive in around ⅓ of Earth's land area and where less than ¼ of people live

So you're caving to people who are trying to force their sociolinguistic ideas on the speakers of a different language?

It's not you that's being racist/ethnocentric/xenophobic/imperialist... If you were conversing in Spanish then sure, it'd be Estadounidense/Estados Unidos but in English it's American/America and to try and force either one to change would be cultural imperialism

Theoretically, I guess... But my argument came when introducing the laws of physics into the world of the infinite hotel, but there comes a point where the movement is small enough that the electron orbits are unaffected when the atom next to them "moves" therefore there's functionally no movement.

You're not a criminal who goes around breaking the laws of physics like the rest of those "mathematician" types are you?

Absolutely, it's just English is very weird

it's very rare in any language, complexity at the start is not uncommon, but complexity at the end is, also the ordering of the consonant types and the fact there's two fricatives in a row at the end, it's not just a word that not only has no place existing, but also one that should be so unstable it'd change to something less complex in decades at most, yet it's stayed pretty consistent for a while

It's also actually 4 consonants as there's an unwritten k in many accents, or ng is pronounced as ŋg in others, so stɹɛŋ(k|g|∅)θs

If I were to say "at 3am, almost all grocery stores are empty, yet almost all houses are occupied, so look how much land is being wasted by grocery stores" would that be fair and representative, or picking and choosing a time to suit what I'm trying to say?

Even if we do pick and choose in favour of cars, the train is still probably more space efficient even with only around 30-50 people on board so why put yourself in a position where you can be rightfully called out as misrepresentating the data?

For the last part, have you been to London? Outside of 7:30-9:30 and 16:30-20:00 you're pretty much guaranteed a seat anywhere on the network - when you consider that 27% of the capacity of a piccadilly line train is seating, I would call a train that's 10-25% full near empty in the same way that a car with 1 person in would be near empty... And if you look at the streets of London during the day, it's all taxis and vans, generally the taxis are a mix of families and people alone, leaning towards families as it makes more sense financially to get one the more of you there are, and the vans generally have groups of people who are using them for work

The dirty/worn out trains are old, but also ate getting replaced... The circle, district and metropolitan lines have fairly nice trains and the trains on the victoria and jubilee are just fine... The bakerloo having 50 year old worn out trains is a problem well over 13 years old, and the fact that their replacements were organised under tory leadership is directly at odds with what you're saying but I take it you'll give all the credit to the Labour PM when the new trains do arrive?

I'm not in favour of the tories or austerity any more than the next guy, but misrepresentation like this is just gonna make it worse as nobody takes note when they do anything actually good, so they go elsewhere to win votes

Copyrights and patents
Used to collect the products of another person's labor

If you ask me it's the exact opposite... Copying someone else's work with no benefit to them removes a big driver for innovation.

This also only really applies with corporations - you could in theory have everyone be self-employed in a capitalist society
