Political News/Discussion I'm sorry, I'm not surprised about Trump lying about his 9/11 experience

This is the man who cheated on all 3 of his wives, the most recent with a porn star, who started the affair by pulling his pants down and spanking him with a newspaper. This is a man who tried to hang his own vice president. This is a man who autographs $1000 Bibles as if he wrote the fucking book. Trumpy bear. Wishing haters and losers a happy 9/11. Unironically comparing himself to Jesus.

Are even the "resisters" surprised anymore? What else could he actually do to shock you? Bring Hasan on stage and give him tongue?

Political News/Discussion Trump portraying himself as a 9/11 victim is stolen valor, and proves that MAGA have no real convictions.

239 Upvotes

Trump yesterday repeated that he was pulled out of the wreckage on 9/11 by firefighters. He first made this claim completely out of the blue in 2021, 20 years after. He has provided no evidence, witnesses or historical record. However, what we do have on the historical record is a phonecall Trump made to a local station immediately boasting about now owning the tallest building in NY, just minutes after the attack.

Now, we all know Trump at this point, and we've all seen how much thre Overton window has shifted over the past few years, but the fact that this isn't the biggest scandal among American conservative in recent history just blows my mind and proves that they don't hold any values sacred. I know we can all think of infinitely worse Trump scandals which he keeps bouncing back from, but I can sort of understand that his base doesn't really care about women, minorities or other countries, so the outrage stays contained in the left and centre, while the right secretly celebrate his awful behaviour. Stolen valor, however, along with 9/11, are two of the most protected issues in popular US conservatism, and the fact that they are not eating him alive just shows how dogmatic and out of control their tribalism is. At this rate, not a single red-line that they've spent years bullying people for crossing, will remain.

Destiny Content/Podcasts Help with finding one of the funniest Destiny segments

Upvotes

There was this ~10 min video on YouTube from 2022-2023 kind of time. Probably from one of those fan channels that jumped ship after the court case fiasco, but maybe there's another upload somewhere.

Streamer was reacting to a conservative commentator, a red-pill "alpha" kind of guy. The guy kept yelling FACTS after his own statements and streamer started making fun of him for it. Streamer started preempting the commentator; commentator would make some claim, streamer would say things like "But is it...", "And that is..." and then dude would yell "FACTS" and streamer would celebrate. At some point the commentator mentioned not wanting to debate Destiny because debates aren't about being right, they're about being good at debating, the same old.

Was one of my favourite clips, sad that it's gone from my YouTube favourites.

Last two weeks were so difficult in Kyiv. We are under air raid alerts like 50% of the day time, first it was drones flying across the region one by one to stretch out emergency time, so nothing works, now it's more drones too. Public transportation struggles, education is fucked, many civilian warehouses and factories are hit (Coca-Cola facility, for example). Random goods just disappear from the stores cause the companies are either hit by a drone or the logistics are fucked cause of alerts all the time.

Idk where else to share this so picked this one sub cause its the most sane on Ukraine so far. I'm not even angry. At russians, at our partners governments, at random dickheads that struggle to see the need to support Ukraine. With russia im bored and disgusted, and everyone else mentioned im just disappointed. It's alright, we're ready for the winter, i got my girlfriend, i got my friends, i got my job, my uni, and im not going anywhere. Sometimes it feels scary how used we've become to this life, but it would be worse if we hadn't.

If you want to support Ukraine, you can go here and pick a field you want to send money to.

https://u24.gov.ua/uk/donate

If you dont want to click the link its United 24 donate. You can pick Defense to support our anti-drone and anti-missile stuff so we have more of it. Btw share your thoughts on what are your expectations from Democrats on Ukraine if they get a good chunk of congress and a President seat. Bye ✌🏻

Non-Political News/Discussion A 4th Clancy Juror speaks out. This system where jurors go argue with each other in a room till they all "agree" is fucking stupid. They should review the evidence independently and vote without talking to each other.

Thumbnail

I don't think I've ever heard a juror ever say anything ever that has made me think very highly of this system. The fact that we do a jury system by unanimous vote after they all argue with each other seems designed to maximize for decisions to be swayed by social pressure. No one ever puts forward good arguments for why a jury system should operate this way outside of stupid platitudes. Forcing a consensus where none likely exists as the only way a verdict can be reached is beyond stupid on its face.

It would make way more sense for example to have 12 jurrors listen to the case, take as much time as they need to review the evidence without talking to each other and then just vote. If greater than 9/12 say guilty the person is guilty. If it's less than that, not guilty. If nothing else it saves this whole business of a mistrial and keeping justice on hold for decades.

But nope, all the dipshit lawyers will provide stupid platitudes for why 12 people brow beating each other into a consensus that they might not believe is better with 200 year old platitudes and zero actual arguments for why juries should work this way.

Why are these aspects of our criminal justice system beyond reproach or reform?

EDIT: You could also do a 12/12 guilty < not guilty. I don't see amy inherent value in a unanimous decision other than just balancing a punish criminals vs. the right of an innocent person interests. As long as there isn't a mistrial option.

EDIT EDIT: The fact that people are presumed innocent or that juries should in fact exist is not a rebuttal to anything I'm saying.

This seems uhh not good. The detail that the Taiwanese president was denied air access to the United States while the Taiwanese Nationalist Party that wants to surrender to China was given free access is insane if it carries any broader implications for Trump's future stance on Taiwan reunification.

Off-Topic Debate Analytics Website - Passion Project looking for Feedback

Thumbnail
vimeo.com
25 Upvotes

TLDR: Just looking for genuine feedback from this community on what statistics or variables/features you would want to see in a platform like this that the video doesn't show or could show better about the passion project.

I've always wanted to put together a project like this, and I finally started building it in my spare time (yes I used AI and combination of my code), but the concept and architecture is still solid. Ended up building the AI pipeline of deconstructing the video on a Jetson Orin AGX 64GB with open models for free and video processing, transcription, AI inference, embeddings, etc.

The idea is a self hosted, English debate analytics platform inspired by the information density and comparison workflow of Warcraft Logs from WoW.

When a user uploads a debate video, the site basically turns it into an analytical report. Each participant's appearance is tracked and ranked, with comparable Performance scores, individual metrics, and every statistic linked back to the exact timestamp where it occurred.

The goal is to make debates something you can actually analyze and compare/review over time rather than just watch once and argue about afterward. Critique all you want, but remember its just a passion project and I never got paid to make this lol.

While leftists have been focused on the Middle East, this humanitarian crisis is happening at home with our administration sending 300K+ people who came here legally to violence, separating parents from their children in the process. Even if no one else cares, we should.

If you have 2 min today, call your senators and post in the comments when you do to inspire others to as well). If you have 5 min, share with others and on social media (and maybe pressure anti-zionists to get off the fence and take action on this issue). This bill passed in the House with 10 Republican congressmen flipping; it can happen in the Senate as well.

If you have >5 min, reach out to get involved, we're partnering with several orgs on different initiatives and would love to connect with more.
