Not just India, basically all of south and south-east Asia, maybe even elsewhere in Asia too.

That would be good but unlikely, considering that Holocaust denial is specifically illegal in France.

Emily was one of several women who refused to discuss improving our mutual sex life, only for me to find her gossiping with friends or strangers about it later.

Tbh this sounds like an issue with you rather than with women in general. And what does this have to do with voting???

Let’s not forget about those who didn’t vote for Trump, not least of which the children of this town. Their suffering is tragic.

Go to ignore. I’m sick of explaining to every kid around what the difference is between nazism/racism/chauvinism/stereotypes and common sense.

Hmm, maybe you should try understanding those concepts first before you share with everyone that you are in fact a racist. Some food for thought.

The content of their comments has been much more thoughtful than many comments I see on Lemmy, and certainly conducive to further conversation. Downvotes don’t make something good/bad or right/wrong.

IANAL but isn’t this issue of responsibility obviously determined based on the liability waiver that gun range attendees sign? I’d be pretty shocked if gun ranges don’t include personal injury and wrongful death clauses in their liability waiver.

I can’t really imagine a context except for this very common context which completely negates my point

Well said!

Right. In other words, we didn’t evolve from chimps.

That’s a fair point, and I found a source for it. It sounds like she is specifically complaining about the National Guard deployment, because of her immigrant background. That’s great. I would like her to push for things which are virtuous even if she isn’t personally connected. For example, stand up for Canada’s sovereignty and decry the threats that the federal government has made, instead of just begging Canadians to come and give her city money.

I looked up this mayor too. I can’t find much criticism of the federal admins policies. What I do find is that she is an active supporter of Israel, she voted to invade Iraq, and she has been named as one of the US’ most corrupt representatives.

So, maybe you can reflect a bit on why people aren’t very ecstatic that a politician is a Democrat. As far as I’m concerned, she has aligned herself with the leopard-eating party by begging Canadians to be complicit instead of pushing back against the federal admin.

Your statistical math only makes sense if the individuals you spoke to were uniformly sampled from China’s population. I’m willing to bet they weren’tsmf that there may be a sampling bias here. May I ask in what circumstances you heard these n=5 opinions?

Interesting, my experience has been quite different but then it has been more with executives of relatively small (<500) and private companies. I’ve also seen some cases of companies closer to dictatorships, but they have (at least from my external perspective) seemed like dictators with at least clear visions. A small minority have been loudmouthed assholes.

Would you like to at least engage with the discourse a bit more, eg explain why the reason I have mentioned and other possible reasons are not good to you? Otherwise you’re not adding much to the conversation.

Have you worked with very many CEOs at SMEs? Based on my experience it seems to match the description, by and large.

Hmm, why have you not responded to the substantive reasoning for the law? As a self-professed freedom advocate, well, that’s obviously a lie so do you actually have something of value to add or are you just trolling?

AlphaFold’s success seems to be largely linked to its use of attention-based architecture, similar to GPT, i.e. the architecture used by LLMs. Beyond that, they are both building on work in machine learning and statistics, so I don’t think they are nearly as independent as you are making out.

Despite all the downvotes, I think it’s a reasonable enough question. It happens to have a very reasonable answer though.

First of all, your concern is largely addressed, since immigration control can still access law enforcement databases if they have a warrant.

As for why this law exists at all, well it’s actually to the benefit of law enforcement: the idea is that immigrant communities are more likely to cooperate with law enforcement if they aren’t scared that they will be the target of immigration control. This is all the more practical now, when ICE has degraded into a largely lawless and authoritarian organization, since you can imagine most immigrants wouldn’t want to say a word to any police officer unless they at least have the protections of the 2017 TRUST act in place.

Now, what I’m a bit confused about is why you are so up-in-arms about the existence of this law instead of the violation of this law. Surely if you are so law-abiding as you make out to be in your comments, you should be shouting for legal action against the police officers involved in breaking the law.
