@realcaseyrollins @freemo
I'm not at this point arguing that you're wrong about corruption. Just about the basis for the claim. Maybe I'm misreading. I tend to believe that my personal experience and those of others I know is a very small sample size that I interpret largely through confirmation bias and the availability heuristic, so try to not make global truth claims based on it.
@realcaseyrollins
I'm not a statistician, but the argument seems odd to me. I'm normally quite impressed by freemo's statical perspective.
I can't think there's a lot of situations where would pass as a solid truth claim: I have personal experience and I heard others who agree with me, therefore the only only way I can be wrong is if there's a magical fairy land. Disagreement with my assertion is believing in magical fairly lands. *mic drop*
@realcaseyrollins I did not know feddit was a thing, but I'm glad to know now. Though with a name like feddit, I would have expected more fedposting.
P.S. in the future I'll be linking to #Feddit on the #Fediverse how #Gabbers link to #Gab Trends lol

@realcaseyrollins I have no expectation of people believing things that are provable, let alone things that are not.
Most of the time I have no expectation people will even believe the earth is round at this point. so pretty sure I can give you a pass on this one too :)

@freemo I guess that's true.
But I can be forgiven for not believing something you can't prove, right? Like it's reasonable to ask for proof before believing something.
@freemo you can't prove it's true either, apparently :)
@freemo That's a fine example, but again it doesn't make it true that all precincts are corrupt. I won't believe that all precincts are corrupt until you can prove it.
publishers sue the Internet Archive
As a scientist and teacher, I will not write or peer-review for any journal from these publishers, nor will I use their books in my classroom, because their emotionally immature stunt risks the collective memory of the Internet.
Whether or not the "National Emergency Library" is ultimately a reasonable idea, there are good ways and bad ways to approach the issue, and Hachette, HarperCollins, Wiley and Penguin Random House have chosen a bad one. For two decades, scholars have been asking, "What value do publishers actually add?" Answers vary, but a bitter "not bloody much" is prominent among them. Undermining our social and technical infrastructure in a time of global crisis only gives that view more weight.
> disobeying their wishes
What wishes? Citizens need to comply with officers' requests, generally speaking (assuming of course they are lawful). It's kind of a big thing here.
> police abusing their power
In what way?
