Worth reading. Other Ds & Rs have debt. Also this…

Some high-profile candidates saddled with debt get creative.

Democrat Hillary Clinton, for one, paid down $22.5 million in campaign debt from her 2008 campaign through a multi-pronged approach that included selling leftover campaign trinkets, offering face time President Bill Clinton and renting the personal information of her campaign supporters to other Democrats and private data brokers. Clinton’s 2008 committee paid off its debts by 2013 — just in time for Clinton to announce another White House run in the 2016 election cycle.

Yeah this sucks for so many right now.

When you go on LinkedIn and find a major tech company, those who meet the following two criteria:

• Born after 1980
• Have “senior” in their title

…they’re numerous right? But is it <1% of 1980 born college grads who are crushing it? Or <10%, or…

Thanks. There was an NYT headline yesterday about some pushback from Republicans but it was the two absolute most-expected Republicans.

Time to start over on Lemmy and use a VPN, sounds like…(?) been worrying about this kind of thing

Dang mr. two steps ahead over here

Or… Ms. Mr. Ability to trace back from one step ahead without knowing where the first step came from, OK gotta workshop that one

A 100m dash time probably loosely correlates to some abstract measure of “athleticism”, which may correlate to success likelihood for certain tasks. IQ correlates to some abstract measure of pattern recognition, which may correlate to success in certain tasks.

Hard to argue that careful statement!

Hey thought of how it could be used for good, to support:

I imagine a school administrator examining the tails of their school‘s distribution and using the knowledge to personalize education. Say, a bright kid isn’t being challenged and achieves straight Cs. (Privacy and fairness implications, I know)

Yes, Officer Unicorn, sure! One can support the unicorn nature with data, so that’s a defensible phrase.

Officer Unicorn would give me the same consideration right? They’re one in a million in this hypothetical.

So, why PEB - because ACAB disrespects the good one[s*] killed “accidentally”. Maybe they were even gonna get jaded and become true class traitors one day but no need to go Minority Report on them.

*assumes at least two good officers since 1776

btw I’m not always this stubborn about semantics - maybe often but not always, thanks for engaging

Thanks for your response.

Interesting you give that timeline because when I hear ACAB, a hypothetical officer comes to mind who joins a department on a Monday, blows the whistle on something corrupt and evil on Tuesday, and is forced to hand in their badge on Friday.

I want to broadcast to my fellow Americans that if:

• you are not corrupt, and
• you will not stand for corruption, and
• you want to try to be the change

…I will not insult you for having a disparate strategy compared to mine or the average person’s on this site.

Maybe 720,651 out of the 720,652 full-time cops in the US are baddies, but that last one who’s on probation because of some good in their heart - I choose my words carefully for them. They necessitate the three-letter acronym.

if you show me a cop who isn’t, I’ll show you a cop whose not been on the job long enough to find out.

So MCAB or AACAB?

Was just discussing in another thread, referenced the Sith dealing in absolutes instead of using a phrase like “Policing Enables Bastards” in an attempt to be more accurate and harder to dismiss.

Wonder how much they paid/threatened her for that
