It’s not the same. Most people calling the 2016 election a sham will admit that Trump did technically win by the rules as written, but also think that those rules are bullshit because they allowed a multi-million person majority to be shut out in favor of a malevolent moron. The people saying Biden lost are saying he literally cheated and that there’s a conspiracy of thousands of government employees collaborating to break the rules and subvert the will of the people; that the multi-million majority literally doesn’t exist. This is just as disingenuous as comparing the top secret documents that Trump hid to the ones that Biden and Pence handed over immediately on request.

You are dying on an an hill made of data chosen in piecemeal by news outlets that profit off of your attention.

mk bud. i cant believe you still dont understand why those rates are misleading. good luck out there

Your statistic doesn’t support your conclusion. His statement is not contradicted, and is in fact true.

Several articles about how poorer taxpayers are significantly more likely to be targeted:

An article about how audit rates are dropping in general, and dropping fastest for those with the highest incomes:

I never said to ignore it for low income taxpayers, but the statistic you provided is incredibly misleading. Plus the IRS would recoup far more money by auditing higher income taxpayers at much greater rates.

the misleading thing about that statistic is that there are far, far fewer wealthy people than there are normal. even with the rate of audits technically being lower, the number of audits of normal people is still far, far greater, and is where the IRS’s focus truly is

being justified or not has nothing to do with whether something is violent. if someone is getting hurt, maimed, or killed, that’s violence, no matter how much they deserve it.

they just pop out of holes in the ground

Meta/Facebook and Google/Alphabet are very different from Twitter/X. The first two created parent companies under which their large brand names still exist, but are now managed along with their other properties (Instagram, Snapchat, Waymo, Deepmind, etc.) Musk, meanwhile, is trying to completely burn down the Twitter brand for some incomprehensible reason.

Actually it’s worse than nothing. Youtube promotes comments based on engagement, so while only an upvote increases the tally, voting at all still makes it more visible.

I got here after they announced the API changes. Took about a week for the reddit posts to slow down at all but they’re back in full force now that the changes have been implemented.

It’s just people discussing something that’s relevant to them. It’ll go away eventually.

It’s a bug. I’ve been getting it too, pretty sure it’s related to how much stress the server is under. Give it a few minutes and refresh the page.

A month or two ago I got a bunch of downvotes for explaining why I didn’t like a game. The people responding said it was because my comment was “too long.” It was like six sentences. Why are these people on Reddit instead of Twitter?

Allegedly, but reddit also spent tons of money on stupid shit. My favorite example is their braindead stupid million dollar Superbowl ad, but they also doubled the number of employees to 1400 in 2021. And all they have to show for it is a slow, ugly website and a trashy, extra-monetized mobile app. Fuck em.

Damn yall must have the shittiest popeyes, the biscuits at the one near me are so good

Peacock straight up disallows anyone running Linux from using it, regardless of what browser they’re using. Guess I’ll just pirate lol

Doing some quick searching, I don’t think SAM (AMD’s name for resizeable BAR) is available on the 5000 series, just 6000 and up. You’d need an AMD CPU as well.

I’ve been running a 6700XT with an Intel CPU and it hasn’t been bad, but not great either. I’ve had trouble with the most recent graphics drivers; I tried to update in May and had to deal with a bunch of blackscreens before finally reverting to November’s drivers. Luckily AMD has old drivers available directly on their website.

Messing with the GPU’s performance settings within Adrenaline (AMD’s version of geforce experience) is also super buggy, only working for a few hours at best before crashing and reverting. I’m talking anything physical, from overclocking to just increasing ambient fan speeds. Their bug reporter is also terrible! Changing render settings for specific games has worked fine, as well as deactivating the ingame overlay, but while I think you should play with it just to see how it works for you, I can only recommend using Adrenaline as a temperature monitor.

At the end of the day though it’s not much buggier than my ancient dual 680 setup was lol, and it’s like half the price of Nvidia stuff so I’d say you probably won’t regret the purchase
