  • With violent conviction: 7%

    That’s a lot higher than the general population, isn’t it? Google says it’s 2-4% estimated (there’s apparently no explicit data collected on specifically violent convictions—there is for “felony” convictions, but there are a ton of non-violent felonies, so that’s pretty useless for this kind of comparison).

    I also can’t help but notice that the article, especially the headline, is very careful to say “most” only about certain “city crackdowns”. According to the same chart in the article, among all ICE arrests across the US from Jan 20th to Oct 15th, only 33% had “No criminal charges”, which means 67% of them did have criminal charges. Pretty stark contrast to what the headline would like to imply, isn’t it?

    Overall, pretty blatant cherry-picking. I hate that it’s so difficult to find media that will just present the facts without any spin.




  • I’ve never used AI for interview stuff, beyond a little thing that gave me sample questions and assessed my recorded verbal response, to use as prep before an interview, but in reading that, I remembered that Nvidia has a thing where a visual effect will make your eyes look like you’re looking straight into the camera all the time (unless they’re totally closed of course), and imagined this type of person using that as further subterfuge during the interview, to conceal the ‘looking down’.

    Luckily, the average person leaning completely on AI for an interview is not nearly savvy enough for this sort of thing, in my experience.



  • That seems suspiciously low.

    It’s the real/non-propaganda number. The huge numbers you often see define “paycheck to paycheck” as simply ‘not saving any money’, but that includes people who make plenty of money, and just spend it all (by this definition, 1/4 of people earning at least six figures “live paycheck to paycheck”), and there are simply many more of those than there are people actually barely getting by. On the other hand:

    The financial firm defines [living paycheck to paycheck] as spending more than 95% of household income on necessities such as housing, gasoline, groceries, utility bills and internet service.

    This is a much more accurate definition of “living paycheck to paycheck”.


  • Calling his mentality “boys will be boys” when he very clearly said ‘kids will be kids’, very directly implies that you are accusing him of giving male children a pass that he wouldn’t give female children.

    And that’s a completely baseless assumption fabricated in your own mind to rationalize labeling him misogynistic. You’re calling him sexist based on nothing but your own bias.

    There is zero evidence that he wouldn’t say the exact same thing about a group of girls making AI edits of their male classmates, and there is evidence that he would—namely, his actual words.

    Your baseless accusation falls firmly under the ‘dishonesty’ umbrella.
