You all are talking past each other because you’re talking about different things. They can’t say he’s guilty until he’s convicted, because he isn’t guilty until then. They also don’t have to say he ‘allegedly’ punched someone when multiple people reported witnessing it, the other guy’s face is bloody and and there is video of him hitting the guy. Saying he’s guilty of a crime and saying he punched someone are two different claims.

Not to rain on the joke parade, but the pardon would come from the Texas governor and Abbott has already shown he is willing to abuse the pardon power to score political points.

Can’t wait to hear Trump say the guy is a hero and deserves a pardon.

Pennsylvania@lemmy.world•Out-of-State PA Students' Registrations Turned Away by Local Elections OfficeEnglish
1·1 year agoCollege students should be allowed to register at their schools provided they live there, but living there means all-in. You have a Pa mailing address, you switch to Pa license as required by law. Anything else required for residency, none of this a la carte shit where you decide where you live based on what is convenient at the moment.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness IndexEnglish
14·1 year agoThat’s because BMI is actually pretty good as a screening tool. It’s easy, simple, and pretty damn accurate when combined with an eyeball test. To the extent that it misclassifies people it is far more likely to underclassify obesity than overclassify. The people complaining just don’t want to hear it.

politics @lemmy.world•Kamala Harris told me not to vote for her, so I’m not going to (and why that isn’t just a protest vote).English
9·1 year agois now, in large part, a referendum on genocide
No, it isn’t. Part of the problem with articles like this is the idealogical bubbles so readily afforded by modern life to the author. Nearly twice the percentage of Americans are fine (or think more should be done) with the USs arming of Israel than think it is a problem. The percentages within parties aren’t even that far apart. The average American doesn’t care about brown people dying half a world away. Anyone who has been paying even the tiniest bit of attention for the last 50 years should already know this.
But when you hang out in leftist spaces online, have leftist friends IRL, and read mostly leftist news sources, you lose sight of the fact that the average American is politically much closer to your problematic uncle you only see on the high holidays, than you.
a vote for her is the best/only way to register a “no” to genocide vote. To state, as liberal Democrat supporters tend to do, that Trump will be worse when it comes to Gaza, obfuscates this point.
No it isn’t. Doing whatever it takes to keep it from getting worse is in direct service of this point. It sucks that the only outcomes are the status quo or make it worse, but as long as that is the case, then not choosing to not make it worse is a moral failing.

10·1 year agoEspecially when they still manage to be wrong on that one issue. Trump will be worse on Gaza and throwing away the only chance to stop him, without even getting into everything else he’s also going to make worse, makes them complicit.

Technology@lemmy.world•Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion ClinicsEnglish
5·1 year agoThe problem is turning off wifi doesn’t actually turn off the wifi, it just stops a subset of packets being broadcast and won’t trasmit any data you want it to send. Among other things this is how ‘find my device’ works with the wifi and bluetooth “off”. They’re actually on.

Technology@lemmy.world•Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion ClinicsEnglish
7·1 year agoIt also won’t work since the service has enough precision to know whether you go in, and for how long. The real issue is that mobile phones are continuously broadcasting their location to any device that wants to listen, even if you turn wifi and bluetooth off.

News@lemmy.world•US startup charging couples to ‘screen embryos for IQ’English
11·1 year agoAmong all the moral problems, there is also a technical problem: we don’t know that much about the relationship between IQ and genetics. Not even close to enough. We can’t even reliably predict something as straightforward as eye color outside of very simple situations and that is far clearer than the genetics of building and operating brains.
Not only is the genetics that underlie human intelligence complicated, so too is understanding intelligence itself. It’s not even clear that human intelligence can sensibly be reduced to a single number, or even a set of numbers, let alone ones that can be used to ordinaly rank people.
The situation isn’t much, if at all, better for any of the other traits they list. There may be some useful screens for specific mutautions that result in particular diseases that are well understood, but when it comes to the full understanding and subtlety of more complex traits, human genomics just isn’t there yet.
