He still wants all the bad things, just for the “other” people, not for him.

There is a path to redemption, but this guy isn’t on it.

Blood spatter analysis isn’t quite as nonsense as the rest.

If blood is found underneath an object, you know that the blood got there first, and the object second. If you find a drop of blood among a bunch of fine mist, you may be able to predict that the fine mist is blood from a victim after a gunshot, while the drop might be from someone else, possibly the perpetrator.

Of course there are other observations which are misinterpreted, but the fact remains that blood spatter follows the laws of physics; therefore, it is possible to discover factual information from observing it.

Blood spatter analysis isn’t quite as nonsense as the rest. There are definitely factual conclusions that can be made based on where blood is found and how it is distributed or shaped.

Polygraph tests are an interrogation tool. While the “results” they produce directly are nonsense, they can be used as a lever to pressure a suspect to confess to a crime - with disregard as to whether they actually committed said crime. People who undergo polygraphs are also known to unload new information immediately after the “test” is over.

Remember, police are allowed to lie to you; you are not allowed to lie to the police. Shut the fuck up. Lawyer.

Not mutually exclusive.

Get out. Either say this to him or do it yourself.

His presence would surely interfere, but ideally, politicians are supposed to bring their elected authority to bear by coordinating resources (as you describe). It’s much more effective to do that when you’re physically present, or at least not on a Mediterranean vacation six timezones away.

No, you’re right. But also,

Al-Falih [one of the VCs] said in an email that he does not endorse Mamdani but found Maguire’s comments over the holiday weekend “appalling.”

Nowhere in that article does it suggest that any of these VCs support Mamdani. They’re only trying to distance themselves from someone who said the quiet part out loud.

Rafael’s vacations are higher priorities than the well-being of his constituents.

I love Skechers.

If venture capitalists don’t like him, I do.

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.

If it was suicide, it was in order to avoid torture and murder.

I did a new thing just this weekend, wasn’t even on your list.

Friendly jab! Isn’t that what all the kids are doing these days?

Going back a few comments, I can only say that I am flattered that such a celebrity would not only know who I am, but actually call me out on a completely unrelated thread that I was not already participating in.

You have forced my hand.

Epistemologically speaking, I don’t, because I can’t.

If I am your enemy, it is only because you have selected me so.
