from your own link, that’s only because she’s the least bipartisan dem in the senate.
govtrack’s “left-right ideology” ranking is flawed, it doesn’t look at the content of the bills at all. in govtrack’s own words the ideology ranking “may be measuring something else, perhaps something more closely related to partisan-ness”.
if this is your first time doing a big trip together, honestly, forget about it being prefect. it won’t be, and that’s ok. trips don’t need to be perfect to be meaningful, in fact, i’ve found the opposite to be true. the more wild and unexpected the adventure is, the more memorable and important it becomes to me.
so I’d say it’s best to keep an idea of things you’d like to see or do, but also be flexible and willing to adapt. traveling with someone that forces everyone to stick to a rigid itinerary is never fun and is a good way to ruin the trip. all it takes is one lost bag or one missed train to throw all your careful planning out the window. better to roll with the punches than self destruct when that happens.
this kinda shit makes me understand the sovcit stuff a little more, “just send an email with this magic subject text and your rights are secured!”
jfc what an absolute hellhole of a police state you’ve dreamt up. so many of your hairbrained ideas amount to “cops should have unlimited access to your private life”. how exactly do you think this would play out given the US and it’s systemic racism and classism?
yes, and where does the Gun Violence Archive get their numbers?
looking at their site, the answer is “themselves”… cool. Looking through their listed data it clearly includes gun violence from gang activity.
yes I know, I mentioned that in my comment. can you tell me where on that page it indicates their source of data?
your source links to this source of data, which only goes up to 2021. The table clearly states they’re counting 15 - 19 year olds.
that 6,192 number appears to come from the gunviolencearchive site, but I don’t see any source for their data other than claims that “suicide data provided by CDC”
further, a simple search of the claim “guns number one cause of death in children” will find a lot of valid critiques of this claim.
this is false, this stat deliberately counts 18 and 19 year olds as “children” and purposefully includes gang related violence. great example of using statistics to sell a story.
how many gang members are going to surrender their firearms after a ban?
and it’s also why the propaganda machine always pushes the “violence is not the answer” narrative
have you ever considered that the whole “left”, “right” “center” labels are meaningless to real people? they’re a tool of the same MSM you mention to make people think there’s more of a divide than there is.
sure there are ideologies that those labels can roughly categorize, but real people with real opinions rarely fit neatly into simple categories
a surprisingly disappointing article from ars, i expect better from them.
the author appears to be confusing “relay attacks” with “cloning” and doesn’t really explain the flow of the attach that well.
really this just sounds like a complicated MitM attack, using the victim’s phone as the “middle” component between the victim’s physical card and the attacker’s rooted phone.
the whole “cloning the UID attack” at the end of the article is irrelevant, NFC payment cards don’t work like that.
