Funny events in anti-woke world

If it was another Die Hard movie specifically starring John McClane, the actor would have to be white because John McClane is white. What are you talking about there's nothing in Die Hard that would necessitate that? Die Hard 3 totally doesn't work if John McClane is black.

You need to start writing 'for me' in most of your posts from now on. No, John McClane does not need to be white. He only need to be white FOR YOU.

Now, the sandwich board would probably need to something different if McClane was black. But then Candace Owens and Ye wearing White Lives Matters did produce controversial

I see this story about, and people comment how this experience should give her more sympathy for women having abortions, and that seems to me like saying if a woman loses her newborn to illness it should make her more sympathetic to infanticide.

I'm quite certain, if forced to think the comparison through, she'd much more likely be wondering how anyone would volunteer to go through the same thing she has.

Elite gamer Elon doesn't use a computer. He's hacked into the matrix with his MIND I guess so he doesn't need one to be a top tier Diablo player and retweet neo nazi supporting garbage all day.

Of course he doesn't need a computer to play games. That's because he pays other people to play for him and they can use their own computers.

Its amazing how easy it is to manipulate Trump as long as you hold his hand, treat him like a todler and assure him he's a very good boy. Fortunately Rutte doesn't seem too prideful to hold Trump's hands for the greater good

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that. I think Trump loves obsequience and flattery, but he's canny enough that he doesn't necessarily fall for it, either.

In one part, Trump keeps his eye squarely on the prize (i.e. his self-interest), and all that buttering-up isn't necessarily worth a damn when he thinks he's not getting a benefit. Secondly, whilst he'll take the flattery when it's offered, he may also suspect that it's insincere, or cheap if from someone he suspects its not been earnt.

If Rutte really sent those, it's potentially embarrassing for Rutte - and I wouldn't it put it past Trump realising that and publishing them to belittle him. Or consider that if taken seriously, Rutte's opinion could make Trump feel more contemptuous, intransigent and dismissive towards European countries, which may undermine Europe's ability to get its agenda across.

'Signal' has multiple relevant definitions in research and biology. But let's use yours, an 'indicator' of something that hasnt been established but merits further research (fair description?)

What was the indicator/signal that prompted the Israeli research, and how do you know the Americans were 1) privy to the same info source, and 2) considered it meaningful?



Ah, a retroactive study that looks only at the VAERS.... which the CDC explicitly states cannot be taken as evidence of post-vaccine complications.



Already been given examples. Go back in the thread, and actually read what you've been shown.



That's a lot of aimless waffle. You were talking about musicians wearing masks with holes cut in them. Did American authorities or scientific institutions actually recommend that, or was it just some isolated kids' clubs doing a silly thing?

Again, simply google "Israel covid myocarditis" and make the date range before IIRC April 2021, it's not hard to find. And if the US can't find a signal in their own data (with a much bigger population pool), they are either lying or incompetent.
A signal in pharmacovigilance is information arising from one or multiple sources, including observations and experiments, which suggests a new potentially causal association.

Nope, you all thought I meant if say France closed school for a single day or week or month, that was the same as closing schools for 18 months.

Yes, it was in the last link I posted. You think music teachers and students decided on their own to wear masks when playing instruments? I don't get how anyone can defend any sorta mask mandate or guidance when there is still literally no evidence that masks do anything for upper respiratory infections.

You need to start writing 'for me' in most of your posts from now on. No, John McClane does not need to be white. He only need to be white FOR YOU.

Now, the sandwich board would probably need to something different if McClane was black. But then Candace Owens and Ye wearing White Lives Matters did produce controversial

It's not just about the sandwich board, a major element of Die Hard 3 throughout the movie is race and that wouldn't work if McClane was black. Even if Die Hard 3 wasn't about race at all, you still don't change the race of characters (that are the same exact characters) from one movie to the next. For example, you could do a black Batman but you couldn't do that if that was the 3rd movie in a Batman trilogy where Batman was white in the 1st two and it's the same Batman in the 3rd movie. How don't you get this? It's like reading say a book series like Harry Potter and Harry changing races every single book, that doesn't make any sense.

I did that, and you shared your own google search. And it didn't show what you wanted. Look, if you have an actual source, let's just see it.

Relies on VAERS again. Isn't a peer-reviewed study, but an 'extended essay', mostly just reframing the data you've already presented. This is nothing new; you're essentially repackaging the same information, which the CDC explicitly says cannot be used to infer harms of vaccines.

Nope, you all thought I meant if say France closed school for a single day or week or month, that was the same as closing schools for 18 months.

This is a fib. You've already been given sources showing other countries with more lost school time over 18 months than America. Just go back and actually pay attention this time.

Yes, it was in the last link I posted.

But it wasn't in that link. You provided links showing some kids did it in a few clubs. OK? Where's the guidance telling them to do so? Scientific institutions or government organs telling them to do so?

‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops

‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops

A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.

“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.”

“Cops covering up their badges? ID them with their faces instead,” the site, which McDonald said went live this Saturday. The tool allows users to upload an image of a police officer’s face to search over 9,000 LAPD headshots obtained via public record requests. The site says image processing happens on the device, and no photos or data are transmitted or saved on the site. “Blurry, low-resolution photos will not match,” the site says.

“fucklapd.com uses data provided by the City of Los Angeles directly to the public,” McDonald told me in an email. “This data has been provided in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits. That means all of this information belongs to the public and is a matter of public record. fucklapd.com is not scraping any data.”

In addition to potentially identifying officers by name and serial number, FuckLAPD.com also pulls up a police officer’s salary.
“Surprisingly it [the domain name] only costs $10 a year to exercise my first amendment right to say fucklapd.com,” McDonald said.

I tested the tools by grabbing an image of a white and bald police officer from an LAPD press conference addressing its use of force during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. I uploaded the image to the site, and within a few seconds the site presented me with nine headshots of officers who could be possible matches, all of them bald white men. The first correctly identified the cop in the image I uploaded.

Clicking “view profile” under the result sent me to the Watch the Watchers site by the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, a community group based in the Skid Row neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles. “All of the information on this website comes from records that were deliberately made public by the City of Los Angeles in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits,” the Watch the Watchers site says. “We plan to keep refreshing this data from new public records requests as well as to add other data.” Stop LAPD Spying Coalition is not associated with FuckLAPD.com and did not endorse the site.

McDonald told me that since the site launched, it had around 50,000 visitors, but “Because the analysis happens on-device I have no way of knowing what people are using it for, except for some people who have posted screenshots to Twitter or Instagram,” he said.

In 2018 McDonald made another tool called ICEspy which used hundreds of photos of ICE employees from LinkedIn and does much the same thing as FuckLAPD.com. “This app is designed to highlight and embarrass the organization committing atrocities against refugees and immigrants to the United States,” ICEspy’s website says. That tool originally used a Microsoft API, before Microsoft restricted access to it. McDonald said on X that he recently relaunched the tool to run locally on devices. 404 Media tested ICEspy using images of ICE employees on LinkedIn to verify if the tool worked and each result was incorrect; McDonald indicated on X he was looking for others to re-scrape LinkedIn and update the database.

Over the last few months ICE officers have consistently worn masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to shield their identity while often refusing to provide their name or even confirm the agency they belong to. This includes while violently assaulting people, detaining U.S. citizens, and pointing weapons at bystanders, leaving little room for recourse or accountability against the individual agents or the agency.

ICE’s constant use of masks has created a climate where people cannot be sure that the heavily armed group of men coming towards them are really federal agents or not. In Philadelphia, a man pretended to be an ICE agent in order to rob an auto repair shop and zip tie an employee. In Brooklyn, a man posed as an immigration officer before attempting to rape a woman.

ICE claims that assaults against its officers have increased by 413 percent, and use this as the justification for covering their faces. But as Philip Bump showed in the Washington Post there are still plenty of questions about those numbers and their accuracy. ICE says its officers’ family members have been doxed too.

Neither the LAPD or ICE responded to a request for comment.

When the Iraq war was starting in 2003 I was a child sitting around playing with Legos. Now we're going to war with Iran and I'm an adult...sitting around playing with Legos. Time is a flat circle, and we will never get out of the middle east.

Irrespective of whether this ultimately goes badly for the Democrats, you can't help but understand how fucked up they are as a party that their establishment were pinning their hopes on a millionaire, disgraced sexual harasser. They want people's votes but don't appear to think that they have a responsibility to support political representatives that represent their voters' preferences.

Free speech is one of the most poorly understood and misused concepts around in political discourse.

And yes, it is nearly always deployed in a way that approximates to "I can say what I want to but you can't".

No worries, conservatives, I'm sure with your help people will remember they hate commies and islamists, or worse, commie islamists (islamist commies?) come election time.

Will also count as a funny event in woke world when all the Dems put their support behind Cuomo as independent candidate. Or when Mamdani does the face-heel turn.
