  • What's your personal little conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • Just posted about this in a different thread:

    The US senators: mitch mcconnell, ted cruz, and lindsey graham used fraud to win their respective seats in 2020. All three were in tight races according to the polls but all three won with bigger margins than was to be expected.

    This idea came from a few articles that were discussing this issue a few days after the election, then those articles all just disappeared.

    Maybe the articles disappeared because there was no fraud

    Maybe the articles disappeared because there was?

  • What always confuses me is why don't they hire a few people that actually do repair and take the business? It seems like a simple way to keep the locals from getting suspicious.

  • You're right there has been some shitty things happening to protestors that for the most part have shown great restraint with the way they're protesting. But an honest question, is this a feature of the Biden administration or are the crack downs happening at a more local level?

    Because what I have seen and heard about from trump and his lessor demons is the desire to make protests illegal on a Federal level and to uphold that idea with state sponsored violence.

    There is an argument to be made that Biden, as President to all Americans, should be making a statement to condemn these violent acts against mostly peaceful protestors at the very least and I have not seen that from him which is disappointing. But yet he and his administration have not in any way pushed for legislation to outlaw the protests. Nor has he tried to coerce the media from reporting on it. I don't have faith that a trump administration would do that.

    I also understand why people are frustrated that the best we have is "well we will let you protest (with a little violence), but we will not really listen to you." But at least we get to stay on the path of democracy and hopefully there can be better candidates that can start to shift the focus in a different, better direction. As much as people want big changes to happen right now, unfortunately the country is too big and too entrenched for that to be reality. BUT it can change if we can keep it from becoming a dictatorship.

  • The difference is that even if Harris continues the policies of the Biden administration, the American citizens should feel safe enough to protest those policies and maybe something will change?

    Under a trump administration the idea of people being able to protest safely is less certain.

  • Is Texas about to put a Democrat in the Senate? | Colin Allred is gaining on Ted Cruz

    Jump

  • Okay, I'm glad you said you saw reports about that too. It's where my conspiracy theory started, but then there hasn't been anything since so I genuinely gas lighted myself.

    Hell it could be that there wasn't anything there to report on, but it did disappear quickly and quietly.

  • <places tin foil hat on head>

    I believe that tedd cruz along with mitch mconnell and lindsey graham all cheated in their last win. All three were in what look like tight races but all three ended up winning by big-ish margins given the polling. I have no evidence other than a feeling but I just can't shake that feeling is somehow not completely wrong.

    <Removes tinfoil hat>

    If any of my completely unfounded conspiracy is right then Allred ain't going to win .

  • These scams are effective because of a thing called Amygdala hijack which

    "is an emotional response that is immediate, overwhelming, and out of measure with the actual stimulus because it has triggered a much more significant emotional threat."

    You can get any human to do dumb things if you can by-pass their logical brain and have them work off the lizard brain.

  • NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules

    Jump

  • It sets both the technical requirements and recommended best practices for determining the validity of methods used to authenticate digital identities online. Organizations that interact with the federal government online are required to be in compliance

    My argument is that if this document (and others) are requirements for companies shouldn't there also be a more approachable document for people to use?

    Sure, have the jargon filled document that those in the know can access, but without an additional not so jargon-y document you've just added a barrier to change. Maybe just an abstract of the rule changes on the front page without the jargon?

    I don't know, maybe it's not a big deal to compliance officers but just seems to me (someone that isn't a compliance officer) that obfuscating the required changes behind jargon and acronyms is going to slow adoption of the changes.

  • The one that gets me is that if the Universe is infinite but how matter can organize itself is finite (albeit a very large number) then there is another galaxy just like ours, another Earth just like ours, and there is another GoofSchmoofer writing this exact some thing in the exact same way somewhere out there.

    And if this is true then how many GoofSchmoofer's are there in this infinite Universe?

  • What's crazy to me is this is a well known problem yet the people that have the ability to legislate this have just 100% ignored it.

    The presidential candidates in the US either completely ignore it (trump) or give a solution of building 3 million new homes (Harris). No one wants to actually start regulating the number of homes that an individual or company can own. It's an obvious solution to the problem yet, complete silence from the law makers.

  • Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris

    Jump

  • You don't have to if you don't want.

    But whether you like it or no rich entertainers like Taylor Swift get lots of media and views. Which parleys into influence and bringing attention to a candidate or an idea.

    This is the reason why anyone that wants to grow a brand and/or an idea will try to get a celebrity to endorse it.

    Edit: This doesn't mean they know more than the average joe it's all about marketing

    If this person had gone to VC's with a pitch for 'AI listening model' with the explanation that "Now musicians can up load their songs to streaming services and AI will listen to make sure their pitch and tonality is accurate and that the beat is correct." or some bullshit like that.
