But how do you count “didn’t vote”?
I didn't, that's voter turnout and probably won't be fully available till all the votes are counted. If you're impatient though, here's the washington post comparing 2024 voter turnout to 2020.
I really don't think CSAM is a fake crime, but we can't all be libertarians.
Trump should be caught up in too many legal battles from all the crimes he's committed to have any time to campaign or be relevant in the election. The fact that he's not is already a massive failure of our political system.
If you're thinking about proportional representation, that's a separate thing
weather.gov works fine, thanks
Alright, so monero is good for coffee, maple syrup, and meat bars (?!). I don't currently eat a lot of any of those things, so I'm not sure how this will help me with my groceries.
The first half of the video is about context-less tweets that a consultant for the company made a decade ago, and the second half is about how they don't like how some things were phrased at a GDC talk. The guy in the video also talks a lot about Sweet Baby Inc supposedly wanting to exclude straight, white, male characters, but one of the anecdotes they play from the GDC conference was about how some game studio had made a cast of all straight, white men and were thinking of diversifying by making one of those characters very stereotypically french, and so SBI consultant tried to get a little more diversity out of them by also making that character black.
I'm not seeing a lot of hatred or discrimination against white people, or men, or heterosexuals in this video you linked.
But there is the end segment, in the last 3 minutes or so, where he doesn't understand that there's a difference between being a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consulting firm, and a narrative/writing consulting firm that helps promote diversity and inclusion, so that's fun. He also ends the video by saying that the consultant with the bad tweets from a decade ago is one of the company's leaders.
All in all, not a lot of evidence that Sweet Baby Inc is doing anything wrong, really.
So if I'm understanding you correctly, you went from
you still have to account for the fact that covid might kill an old person that would otherwise die to influenza in a month or two
thinking covid wasn't causing any/many additional deaths per year, just speeding them up a little
to providing a graph that shows thousands of extra people are dying each year
The increase of 2022 and 2021 was expected due to general decline of normal viruses (caused by covid measurements)
to saying all those extra deaths were because people weren't getting sick from normal diseases, despite us not seeing much of a drop in 2020 from people not getting those diseases during the covid restrictions. But now that the restrictions are lifted and they're being exposed to those normal diseases (and covid) again, all/most of theses extra deaths are from the normal diseases and have nothing to do with covid.
Norway absolutely did a better job at handling covid than the US, but the US's death rate seems to just be permanently higher now as a direct result of covid. Maybe removing all restrictions was the right thing to do, but we shouldn't ignore the fact that it comes at the cost of several thousand more people dying each year, just in Norway.
It looks like you're getting the data from here (except the Norwegian language version), so I have to ask: is there a reason you're cutting off the part of the graph showing "Deaths per 1000 mean population" spiking in 2022?
This new table is from here, and you can click "Choose variables" at the top if you want to see different data. But even just the graph you provided shows that total deaths for both sexes jumped up dramatically in 2022, the year you say covid restrictions were lifted. What are you trying to prove here exactly?
I do find it interesting that creatures being themselves is more problematic than all of the murder, torture, abuse and pain the characters experience.
I don't even know what you're referring to here. Are you thinking that the abuse the house elves are subjected to is not as bad as them "wanting" to be enslaved?
as long as the story gives something to think about, im happy with it.
I'm not convinced. You don't seem to really want to think about the story. We're shown, very clearly, that at least some of the elves want to be free, but the very next time they're brought up we're told "no, elves were born to be slaves. Slavery is their natural state, don't question it or try to change anything," which just might be more indicative of the author injecting her worldview than a good point about respecting others' cultures.
In conclusion: im a white male slave apologist and i should be cancelled. oh and i probably support trump too. i must be really dumb and brainwashed if i enjoy a book about wizards with a character named “Cho Chang” or whatever else is in your videos.
Your persecution fetish is showing.

Cancelling is probably different from deleting the account
