From a different article:
A New Hope police officer happened upon Boelter in his black SUV, which he had outfitted to look like a police cruiser, and thought he was another officer dispatched to the scene. When the officer tried to speak to him, he did not respond and drove away.
I haven't read whether they pursued him after that, but that is absolutely wild.
No one is casting aspersions on the scientific method or the value of research
In your original comment, it seemed like you were questioning why the study was funded, then compared it to another obvious cause-effect about kicking a dog. Did I misunderstand?
the conclusion simply follows naturally from the hypothesis
The conclusion might have confirmed your personal hypothesis, but we don't assume that any conclusion "naturally follows" a hypothesis without measuring it.
The proposition here is that people who have opposing political views are more likely to be antagonistic to each other, that is a tautology.
The way you phrased it is a tautology, but the study didn't measure antagonism. It measured whether couples broke up or not.
In the western scientific model, this is how we differentiate truths from anecdotes and assumptions. Not sure why this needs to be repeated in every thread about the results of research.
Jason Momoa. Can't act, plays every character the same, and can't seem to keep himself from smirking in every moment of screentime.
Also Paul Dano. Someone else mentioned Leo's "imposter syndrome" and I would apply that to Dano also. I can't tell if he's acting too much or not enough, but he always feels out of place.
I'm with you. It's like going to college after being homeschooled your whole life. Of course you need to know logistical things like how to submit homework, but those are easy answers to find. You also need to know how the other kids talk and what they're talking about. It's hard being out of the loop in regular conversations.
Those look like a bunch of photocopies, like someone who's never been to a protest but wants the cops to think he's a protestor. Ya know, by bringing 100 paper photocopies of the name of the protest, like a protestor would.
I was there. The organizers were sending updates to anyone who RSVPed. I don't like the idea of RSVPing for something like this, but I did. They announced before the event that they had cancelled any elected officials who were planning to speak. They also said something like, "If you are told that the event is cancelled, that is just a rumor."
Several officials did speak and they were pretty epic, honestly. I don't know if they announced the cancellation as a red herring and had everyone speak as planned, or if the speakers I saw were the late replacements. IMO this was a much bigger crowd than the first Hands Off protest.
People tend to get activated once they feel they're personally being threatened. Voter suppression notwithstanding, I'm sure there are plenty of people who couldn't be bothered to vote but could definitely be bothered to physically defend themselves and their neighbors.
I agree that this is a sickening amount of e-waste, and companies should be responsible for processing/recycling their own waste, but what's the alternative in this case? Mail the faulty batteries back to Anker?
He's not giving up on politics, just the DNC. Which could turn out to be exactly the right move.
This is my first season watching more than a few games, and watching teams other than my own. I don't know why, but I like the Pacers a lot.
Those pillows fucking suck, too. I can't believe he openly marketed them as being made from leftover foam scraps, then sold them for $30 a piece.
