This, exactly.

IMO, this would be more ironic if the post was closed automatically by a bot. But that's not the vibe I'm getting from this.
You paid?
You're weird.
.... I mean, we're all l weird, so that's not really saying anything.
As a fellow old person, former millennial, I agree.
Long term occupancy of the ISS started in November 2nd, 2000. Since then there has always been at least one person Manning the ISS.
So at least one human has not been on earth for every day since then, thus, all of humanity was last on earth on November 1st 2000. The statement is factually correct.
Well, someone needs to keep the lights on in the ISS....
I get it, you're an optimist about it.
Nothing wrong with that. I try to take a more practical/grounded view.
In my experience, most people actively avoid thinking. If it involves any measure of mental effort, they would just rather not.
I see it every day.
I'm not going to argue with you that discussions on left-leaning sites and forums is basically preaching to the choir, but at the same time, I would expect every person participating in the discussion to carry their viewpoint into discussions with those that are not in this echo chamber.
Your views seem overly pessimistic about what the participants here do when they're not here.
In a normal state, yes.
I don't think anyone confuses what's happening in the USA in recent years to anything that should be considered "normal".
The fact is, the Justice system relies on the investigative work of the police and other law enforcement agencies, in order to collect the evidence and reconstruct events, then accuse the likely perpetrator.
.... Except the law enforcement agencies are filled with people, and people suck. So 9 out of 10 times, people will "follow their gut" and look for evidence that supports what they think happened, and ignore any that doesn't. So only evidence that supports their conclusion is presented to the Justice system, everything else is discarded.... Even if some of those discards prove that the accused is not guilty.
The problem is that the Justice system is reading from the LEO's story book, so when law enforcement writes fiction, the Justice system has no real way to prove that it's not fact.... Not without the accused throwing literally thousands of dollars into the effort of defending themselves.
Therefore, Justice gets served for those with the means to defend themselves, for everyone else, you'll take whatever the LEO's think you deserve.
So glad I don't live there.
The AI will help him write the next big thing in machine learning....
