We have rights and representative republics to restrain the will of the people for a reason.

The representatives proposed the legislation, and the people want this. This is democracy working as intended regardless of your preferred flavor.

There was a recent leadership change at the EFF

They're still on youtube with low hundreds of views. Surely video content requires more effort to boot.

> Nate Silver, [...] made a post about this recently

Yeah and he put together an insane chart + data that's not tethered to reality.


What makes it not tethered to reality? Do you have a different chart?

It's quite tethered to reality.

> I’ve been seeing a phrase “id/acc”.

I'm curious where, because the top google hits for this are a one-like twitter post, and your comment.


> There's absolutely no proof that happened.

Pathetic.


What I said is factual. We're already seeing pictures of murdered children coming out of Iran, just like we did with Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon... Not a single shred of evidence has been produced to back the claim that Iran murdered anyone, let alone tens of thousands of people.


What you said is a pathetic lie. The regime itself claims they killed over 3000.

Honestly I don't even know why I bother. You're not debating in good faith.


I'll save everyone the clicks: there's no evidence of Iran claiming they killed over 3000 people in any of these articles. There's a claim they said this, but as with all reporting about Iran, no proof. Also, 3000 is not "tens of thousands".


It looks like you saved yourself the clicks.

"The Human Rights Activists News Agency says it confirmed more than 7,000 deaths and that it is investigating thousands more. The government has acknowledged more than 3,000 killed, though it has undercounted or not reported fatalities from past unrest." - https://apnews.com/article/iran-campus-protests-crackdown-54...

'"I would put the minimum estimates to be 5,000 plus," Mai Soto, the United Nations’ special rapporteur on Iran, said in an interview with ABC Australia. Soto noted 5,000 dead is a "conservative" or "the minimum" estimate. Other credible estimates, she said, indicate as many as 20,000.' - https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2026/02/20/how-man...

> as with all reporting about Iran, no proof.

In the same way there's no proof humans ever walked on the moon, I suppose.

It's constant deflection with you people. You can never actually address the facts head on; just deflect with "there's no evidence", pivot to "there's no proof", then cast aspersions on the most disagreeable messenger.

You have previously intimated that you are also in the United States. Should I dismiss your arguments because you're allegedly based in the US, too?


Honestly the best way to get stuff fixed is to work there, and report shit directly to PMs/BRB while living on the dailies.

Short of that yeah, everything is a black hole :/


nobody joins a million person discord, it's too crowded


Posts like this make it clearer to me every day why Trump won twice


can you explain that please?

as far as i can tell trump is all about not trusting people but aggressively enforcing arbitrary rules no matter the cost. exactly what i am criticizing.


Reality makes some people angry and listening to trump lie makes then feel good again.


This is a very funny reply, given how distant from the truth your posts have been here


Why can't you just ignore the bad projects? AI is probably super annoying if you're a maintainer getting slop PRs; but if you're a professional I don't see how this can vex you that much.


HA! It’s like ignoring the student projects on GitHub when a professor encouraged all their students to create GitHub accounts and create repos of their social media analysis assignments.
