It’s like meowschwitz in here

Federal, not state convictions.

And his wife?

… to shreds you say?

He was born in Canada

You’re right, police have wrongly killed people of all races.

However, it’s important to note that recent studies have found that “Black Americans are 3.23 times more likely than white Americans to be killed by police, according to a new study by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.”

Nice! I’ve had my revo nozzles for a few months now and really love the quick swap

Students who attended colleges or universities that lost their accreditation and were shut down, making those degrees they handed out worthless and literally illegitimate. Those people, who had loans for degrees they couldn’t use from defunct colleges were defrauded.

Disregarding all the other stuff, the reports say he was being treated with ketamine for anxiety and depression. He had decades of mental health struggles.

No matter who the person is, he was still a person.

Absolutely, but Musk specifically said weather wouldn’t be a problem like regular satellites, which was just not true from my experience.

Overall though, I just think people should be aware that it’s not a good replacement for if you already have access to other Internet services. I’ve seen people discuss how they want to ditch Comcast for it. It’s a lot more expensive and definitely not as consistent. Again, it totally has an audience and purpose, pros and cons.

I had Starlink too and it was definitely unreliable. It’s also absolutely atrocious in any kind of weather like heavy rain or snow.

It’s better than nothing for sure, but definitely look into it more, especially if you’ll be relying on it for work.

In my state, it’s $10 for a non-driver state issued ID card. However, the offices you need to visit in person have limited days and hours that they are open, meaning some people can’t afford to take the time off of work to do so.

If for some reason they don’t already have supporting identifying documents like a social security card, it could take multiple steps and visits.

So you think people who were defrauded or are working public service jobs like teachers are rich people and not working class?

"The cancellations have come through existing federal student loan forgiveness programs, which are limited to specific categories of borrowers, such as public-sector workers, people defrauded by for-profit colleges and borrowers who have paid for at least 20 years. " -CNN

These are not rich people.

These forgiveness programs weren’t even created by Biden.

You’re intentionally spreading false information.

I’d love to discuss this more if you’d be interested. I teach mass communications and visual literacy courses at a university and have over a decade of experience. I’m always interested in discussing these things further, as media literacy is extremely important and we can only educate others and make improvements with our literacy skills through discussion, learning, and practice.

Could you tell me more about the authors you mention and where you got the information from?

One thing I like about Media Bias Fact Check is that their methodology is transparent and clear. Yes, there is a certain level of subjectivity, as there is with any analysis like this. They utilize fact checking best practices and have ethical funding. Even their competitors rate them to be accurate and credible.

They are considered reliable not because people use them, but because of their methodologies, transparency, and factuality. Nothing is 100%, but it’s a good resource in my opinion.

For Karl!

This article, and the source it links to, appears to be talking about the UK actually.

It’s certainly very complex. I definitely agree he didn’t get a fair treatment or trial and for that reason alone shouldn’t be incarcerated

I also think that the Netflix documentary really skewed the view and understanding of the evidence, though. And, as you note, there can be confusion over what level of certainty a jury needs to reach. Beyond a reasonable doubt, not beyond any doubt.

All this being said, it bothers me to some degree that people will go to great lengths to fight for Avery’s innocence, largely due to that documentary, when there are others whose cases are much more questionable and deserve attention too, such as Temujin Kensu.

I just hope that people, upon seeing documentaries (or really any information that drives them to a certain decision or thought, particularly based on an emotional response), would do further research.

Huh, I could’ve sworn I had read that the DNA was confirmed to be hers. After looking more thoroughly you’re absolutely correct. I did see a few articles that said it was matched via a partial tooth, but looking deeper into that it looks like the findings may have just been “consistent” with Halbach. Still compelling evidence, but not a direct DNA match.

I also think it’s more than likely he did it, but that’s an important clarification.

The police were definitely corrupt, but that documentary is intentionally misleading.

While some evidence may be in question, it’s important to know that Teresa Halbach’s vehicle was found on the property, along with charred pieces of her human bones in a burn pit.

It was the last place she went, the last place she was seen, and Avery lured here there under false pretenses (Teresa was not even supposed to be meeting with Avery).

None of this excuses any bad behaviors by the police, and that department certainly appears to be corrupt, but probably not a good example for this instance.

Completely agree. Not only is it disturbing how little people care, but there’s a far bigger picture.

Right now it’s celebrities shilling products. What happens when it’s political figures? What happens when the messages spread misinformation or violence?

It doesn’t matter whether or not you fall for it as an individual. It will impact society. Full stop.

People need to be more understanding and compassionate. If you know so much and are so great at identifying these things and so technologically savvy, help educate those around you. Vote in every election, including local elections, to vote into power people who understand these issues and will act on the best interest of the people.
