Alternate title: A single "study" presented from someone on the street is typically not enough to change anyone's perspective on a subject, especially if that "study" presents "facts" that are contradictory to the listener's previous knowledge.
Humans aren't rational. Humans are rationalizing. If someone on the street giving you a basic chart with 4 numbers on it is enough to change your mind, you likely didn't have much of an opinion to begin with.
it's literally a study conducted by Yale; as in the ivy league university: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfβ¦
the video reproduces the study in a shortened format suitable for youtube.
Yeah, and they act like learning about a new skin cream on the street is going to be subjected to the same level of scrutiny as learning about a new study on "gun bans", even though people have been studying this for decades and the results largely don't change, only the public perception of them.
It's like if they showed people a new study for "Earth gravity" vs "Moon gravity" and act surprised when people don't immediately catch on when their numbers say the moon makes you weigh more. You wouldn't be expecting that result OR trust a random person on the street to change your view of gravity with a chart of 4 numbers.
Yes, they found bias. Cool.
But contrary to the prediction of SCT, such polarization did not abate among subjects highest in Numeracy; instead, it increased. This outcome supported ICT, which predicted that more Numerate subjects would use their quantitative-reasoning capacity selectively to conform their interpretation of the data to the result most consistent with their political outlooks.
I dunno if equating numeracy with intelligence is a fair read, but an interesting study nonetheless.
I don't think that's what anyone suggests. However the opposite is what needs to be called out. Why do police departments consistently ask for more and more funding, usually looking for reasons to spend it (see urban assault vehicles, larger and more militarized forces) when crime is down already? If they're doing fine with the budget they have, why do we need to give them even more money?
"Defund the police" doesn't mean we have no police. It means they're overfunded. Let's see about defunding them and giving some of that money to other people, like mental health advocates or groups that help with homelessness - some of the main causes of crime. Wouldn't that mean the police can focus on things they are trained for while also cutting crime down at it's source? If someone is never desperate enough to mug someone in the first place, doesn't that mean the crime was prevented?

That's definitely part of the problem. I had an incident recently where an older family member had a minor panic. Because I left my (mfg in 2006!!) vehicle running in the driveway while I ran inside. During the day. In a very safe suburban neighborhood. Just a flat out absurd concern and she leapt right to it, instantly. She's always been concerned, she's a grandma, but she wasn't pointlessly terrified like this years ago.
I think many of us don't realize how badly this irrational fear has taken hold, or maybe I should say how effectively this irrational fear has been deployed. Otherwise ~reasonable people are walking around thinking the worst is going to happen everywhere at all times, based on absolutely nothing - worse than nothing, it's based on weaponized deception.
Just because you don't know the first thing about a subject doesn't mean it's 'dumb'
It means you're ignorant and lazy
And maybe you should approach a new subject and belief as a student before you decide to mouth off like a fool
They dont get the same unquestioned respect and love like they used too so no one wants to be a cop any more. This one doesn't give years but it says 5% over the last couple years. The change is bigger in larger more liberal cities. Chicago is down 13% since 2018 , san francisco which inspired this meme is down 20% since 2017 and all the mayoral candidates are falling over themselves to say they'll solve it even though crime is down.
Yeah, but the restrictions are also getting loosened to fill some of the positions. So we're getting the people we never thought should be on the police force either π¬ at least that's the case in Chicago. It makes for a worse experience over time.
Don't get me wrong, there is so much reform that's needed still. If there's an emergency I am calling the police, and I'd like someone who knows what they're doing to respond.
That's your assumption based on literally nothing.
It means your presumptuous and dumb.
The same applies to you ya fuckin hypocrite.

You're definitely on the right track.
The only actual job of the police is to file crime reports.
They do not prevent crime. Protect innocents. Make people show up for court etc. They have no obligation to stop a crime in progress or protect someone being hurt, even if they're standing right there and could stop it.
Anything in the justice system that you value is either done by someone else, or actually isn't done at all.

Discovering that you're stupid can be a challenging experience, and it's completely normal to feel a range of emotions, from shock and anger to denial. It's important to remember that smarts are just one measure of ability and do not define your worth or potential.
Intelligence is multifaceted, encompassing creativity, emotional understanding, practical skills, and the ability to navigate life's challenges. While you lack all of those, your unique strengths and talents may lie in other areas.
Take this moment as an opportunity for self-reflection rather than self-judgment. Consider what you enjoy, what you're passionate about, and where you feel most capable. These are the areas where you can grow and excel. Remember, everyone has their own path to success and fulfillment, and there is no single measure that can capture the full scope of a person's abilities.
Surround yourself with supportive people who appreciate you for who you are, not just for what being a big stupid idiot says about you. Seek out activities and environments where you can thrive and continue to learn. Embrace lifelong learning as a way to develop new skills and perspectives.
Above all, be kind to yourself. Accepting who you are is a journey, and it's okay to take your time. You are valuable and capable, with much to contribute to the world in your own unique way, even though you're dumber than a bag of dogshit
But you see that would be an intelligent argument.
That's not the kind of argument these people make.
...and if they can day that with a straight face, give them an Oscar!
(I say this as a kiwi looking from afar)
"smarts", I guess you gave up on that Grammer Nazi shit huh? Or are you explaining how you find out you're not intelligent.
Yep, you know my life history and personality based on 7 comments. I know how you can buy into anarchism though, you just assume anything that doesn't make sense is just your lack of intelligence not that it might just be a dumb idea that most children could explain the flaws of.
You see the irony there right? No, didn't think so.
And yet you can't explain your shitty idealism but sure, everyone else is wrong and you're the king of earth. Gotcha.
No I have a disability, we went over this. You can point it out like an asshole or you can accept what is obviously an error as an error and stop trying to end zone dance about it.
Your last comment implies you know my political stance, are you admitting you're full of shit and spite not necessarily in that order.
...wat?
Was "woke" a typo?
You haven't told me about any disability. Unless that's a joke about being stupid? Or do you legitimately have a learning disability?
I only guessed your political stance as conservative based on your use of the word "woke."
I am full of shit and spite though.
"smarts", I guess you gave up on that Grammer Nazi shit huh?
"Smarts" is a colloquialism
Yep, you know my life history and personality based on 7 comments
Exactly
And yet you can't explain your shitty idealism
You never asked
everyone else is wrong and you're the king of earth.
Finally someone gets it
It's bad Grammer and highly regionalized at that.
So a douche and an anarchist, who could have guessed that combination.
I did.
We got the douche part already, lets take it back a notch before you cut yourself with all that edge.
It's a typo in that it's an inadvertantly added word in didn't catch, sure. And yes on both accounts, are you honestly just trying to win "shitty irrelevant things to make fun of" bingo or something?
Ah and yet your last comment said you know me so we know one thing for a fact, you're a liar for whatever that might be worth.
Okie dokie
I'm mostly only a douche to fascists and conservatives and capitalists and liberals and people I disagree with on small things
Not to me you didn't. I went back up the chain and I see you kind of half asked someone else, but not me
Me IRL:
Just to play devils advocate here is crime going down because of underreporting (either from smaller budgets or corruption to boost the image of a town / department)
What's the source for this claim?
You could maybe argue that if the drop was only in small petty crime. Yeah a shopkeeper may stop reporting shoplifting after the 10th time the police don't respond. That under reporting goes down as the crime gets more serious. Your probably going to report a home break in to the cops even if you know they won't do anything since you're going to need a police report for insurance, home break ins have been steadily declining since 2018 when the police staffing "problem" started. This seriousness holds very true for murders which have dropped 12% over the past year
That's assuming the victims would be under reporting, if you're saying the police departments, government etc. Are under reporting then that's getting into conspiracy territory. Especially because we're seeing this trend reported across the nation so the conspiracy would have to be massive.
Also if the government had the ability to do this why would they start now? This idea isn't too complex so someone could have easily come up with it and started doing it a while ago. If that were the case we'd never see crime rates go up as the politicians would just under report every year and make it look like crime is going down. But we have seen reported crime go up, noticeably in 2022 , and instead of hiding that many politicians and police departments showcased it as a reason to Crack down on crime and increase there budgets.
You accidentally typed the word "woke" and didn't notice?
I wasn't trying to make fun of your disability, to be clear. I just wanted to be mean to you. I'm also disabled.
I legitimately think you must be getting me confused with someone else
You understand what severe dyslexia is correct?
And yet you are still doing it, funny how that is. Notice me not making fun of your disability.
No.
So you're a douche, you could have saved the inane exposition.
I did, you should read again.
You understand what severe dyslexia is correct?
Yeah
And yet you are still doing it
I was asking genuinely. You wrote a whole word that you wouldn't use in that context if you weren't a conservative (even by mistake), and I didn't realize your use of it was an error. I'm not making fun of you for the error. I'm laughing at you for being conservative
No.
Okay, then link me to where you asked me, and link me to where I lied, please
Edit: disregard the "link me to where you asked me" part- responding to that in our other thread
There's your explanation then.
No you weren't, you clearly don't care or you wouldn't be playing the troll in another comment chain. Also, no I'm not a conservative and anyway it didn't make sense in context so it was clearly an error. Again, you tried to make light of the situation and stuck your foot directly in your mouth.
I already did that, fuckin read dude it would solve a lot of these issues.
Little of what you've said makes much sense, so I had no way to know
Let's make a few things clear:
* You started this by attacking me.
* I think you're not only simply uneducated (understandable given the severe dyslexia), but also legitimately lacking cognitive abilities expected of persons with an IQ of at least 100.
* I don't like you; I have been mean to you on purpose, and I think it's funny to fuck with you because you're such a little bitch about it
* This continues to be an entertaining activity for me. You're like a dancing little monkey. If this isn't entertaining for you, you should stop responding.
* If you'd like to stop now but feel like a winner, feel free to report this comment- there's a good chance it gets me banned. (Rule 1- be civil and nice)
Also- check timestamps. I edited that comment when your other reply came through, and responded over there.
Not at all.
- I said anarchism is dumb, you took it personally which is pretty strange honestly.
*160, get at me. I've explained my position, you've made fun of me. What exactly you're deducing my intelligence from is at best a curiosity at worst simply made up.
*See I don't dislike you, I'd rather a conversation about how school children laugh at anarchists for the stupidity of their ideals. Similarly, you've been the crybaby bitch here and you're doing it now which is amusing.
*Add racism? Like I said, you have to be doing Nazi bingo or something.
*I don't get people banned crybaby and you probably wouldn't get banned for it no matter how much that might play to your edge lord proclivities.
*Edit= sounds like crying about an edit to me.
Right is an affirmation of receipt, yes no or maybe are the possible answers and you didn't choose any of the above and still failed to explain.
Anarchism exists yes, that didn't imply you are an anarchist you could be part of any similarly idiotic idealist nonsense.
If it's a battle of wit, you're losing.
Right is an affirmation of receipt, yes no or maybe are the possible answers and you didn't choose any of the above and still failed to explain.
You said "so no laws?" And I said "right." That's pretty clear cut to me. What do you want explained?

Fear not, I'm also part of plenty of other nonsense

Bruh. Like I could know you're a racial minority.
I don't get people banned
Respect, honestly. A few tweaks and you're basically an anarchist already
Edit= sounds like crying about an edit to me.
Hey, you're the one that told me to "fucking read" when you can't read timestamps. Idk what to tell you
depends, which areas are they counting crime? Which areas are they counting police quitting?
Don't take the word of a meme for something like this. Look into how those statistics were counted.
(edit: Spelling error)
This article goes over a bit of both if you trust npr more than some random socialist propagandist but The trends for both are nationwide. Police staffing has been going down since BLM became a thing and public respect and love for cops went down. This one doesn't give years but it says 5% over the last couple years. The change is bigger in larger more liberal cities. Chicago is down 13% since 2018 , san francisco which inspired this meme is down 20% since 2017 while at the same time seeing a ~30% decrease in crime over the past year.
Crime is also down all over the country, home break ins have been steadily declining since 2018 when the police staffing "problem" started. Murders have also dropped 12% over the past year along with alot of other crimes
Doubt all you'd like it's not an argument and you didn't know me well enough to think anything more or less. But do go on.
Am I? I tend to refrain from calling people monkeys because of the obvious implied racism.
Not at all, there are better forms of haven't government and given this interaction in 100% proof anarchism doesn't work.
I told you to fucking read because you didn't before the edit dipshit, you can't retroactively act less stupid simply because you edited after the fact. I know what to tell you though, stop crying.
Right. Is this your first time encountering an anarchist?
Left. The word you're looking for is correct, right is an affirmation or direction. Nothing, I want you to explain your belief system so you can see it in front of you and go "well that's kinda fuckin stupid huh?.
Undoubtedly so I have no doubt.
Idiots tend to laugh a lot so, par for the course I suppose.
Rats- you're not acting fun stupid anymore, now its just annoying stupid, so I'm gonna move on.
Thanks for the good time!
Here in my city we just opened up a rail line extension. I've seen literally hundreds of comments saying it's not safe, all calling back to a stabbing in February. Which is horrific I know. But that's one death in a decade.

Three sentenced to death in Iran over killing of top nuclear scientist
Three suspects are accused of involvement in the murder of scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh and spying for Israel.Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed when his car was ambushed on a highway outside the capital in November 2020.
βThe preliminary legal proceedings took place in Urmia, where these individuals were sentenced to execution; the case is currently in the appeals process,β Asghar Jahangir, spokesman of the Iranian judiciary, told a news conference in Tehran on Tuesday.
βAfter some investigations, three people out of eight arrested in West Azarbaijan province, were accused of committing espionage for the occupying regime of Israel,β Jahangir said.
He added that the three are also βaccused of transporting equipment into Iran for the assassination of martyr Fakhrizadeh under the guise of smuggling alcoholic beveragesβ.
Fakhrizadeh was widely seen by Western intelligence as the mastermind of clandestine Iranian efforts in the early 2000s to develop nuclear weapons behind the facade of a declared civilian uranium enrichment programme β a claim rejected by Iran.
Iranian officials say the killing took place when a weapon using an advanced camera and controlled by a satellite zoomed in on the scientist while he was driving outside the Iranian capital. Tehran blamed the assassination on Israel, which has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement.

paywalled. Chinese subsidies for EVs and solar are far less than US ones. China does make sure an abundance of minerals exists, refineries to process them locally. Key industries have access to cheap loans, but often new companies/projects have the same access as leaders. US system favours free money instead which is subject to using it as a slush fund instead of building a successful project that will pay back normal loans.
China's early success on EVs was based on city policies of restricting non EV license plates to certain days of driving. This is free. Having a good charging infrastructure/network also makes EVs an easier decision.
Still, the US is improving enough to get good EV growth, and EV dominance soon enough. Equinox EV is better than model Y. Ford transit van is cheaper electric than ICE, with additional operating cost savings, and as a city vehicle enough range for a full day, and contractor benefits.
US policy is based on pure lies to protect oil oligarchy dominance, but there is still a certainty/path for EV success.
"The article by David Fickling on Bloomberg Law discusses China's electric vehicle (EV) subsidy system. Fickling argues that China can't reduce its EV subsidies because it isn't actually paying them in full. While the Chinese government provides financial incentives to encourage the growth of the EV industry, much of the support is being delayed or deferred, and in some cases, the payments are not made at all. The article highlights the gap between China's ambitious EV targets and the practical realities of its financial commitments, pointing out that many EV companies rely on the promise of subsidies, even though the actual funds have often not been disbursed as expected. This reliance on delayed payments could undermine the sustainability of the industry and the broader transition to electric vehicles."

How France seeks to regain influence in Africa through Morocco
French President Emmanuel Macronβs three-day visit to Morocco this week comes amid Franceβs bid to mend ties following the recognition in July of Rabatβs sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara region.
A royal letter last month inviting the French president to the country by Moroccoβs King Mohammed VI aimed to rectify three years of tense ties over Parisβ ambiguous stance over Western Sahara and attempts to reconcile with Algeria, which saw cancelled trips in 2023 and the frosty treatment of Macron by Rabat.
Franceβs access to Algerian gas is vital and in 2022 represented between 8-9% of all gas exported to France. However, Franceβs influence in Africa has been waning at a time when Algeria itself is losing influence in the Sahel.
As a result, building bridges with Algeria without burning those with Morocco has become French President Emmanuel Macronβs βdiplomatic mission impossibleβ.
Since the 2020 signing of the Abraham Accords between Morocco and Israel, the kingdom has gained increased confidence among allies, despite the unpopularity of normalisation domestically and fears that Israelβs war in Gaza will make future deals increasingly difficult.
This has included contracts for up to 250 Israeli-made defence drones to be produced in Morocco and the promise of access to Israeli surveillance satellites, which could further tip the scales in Rabatβs favour in the Western Sahara.

Analysis: France hopes that by mending strained ties with Morocco it can regain its influence across Africa, which has rapidly declined in recent years.Nicolai Due-Gundersen (The new Arab)
Musk now says it's 'pointless' to build a $25,000 Tesla for human drivers
Nov 5 (Reuters) - When Reuters reported in April that Tesla had scrapped plans for a long-promised, next-generation $25,000 electric vehicle, the automakerβs stock plunged. Chief Executive Elon Musk rushed to respond on X, his social-media network.
βReuters is lying,β he posted without elaborating. Teslaβs stock recovered some of its losses.
Six months later, Musk appears to have backed into an admission that Tesla dropped its plans for a human-driven $25,000 car. He said in an Oct. 23 earnings call that building the affordable EV would be "pointlessβ unless the car was fully autonomous.
His latest remarks came in response to an investor asking: βWhen can we expect Tesla to give us the $25,000 non-robotaxi regular car model?β
Musk responded: βWeβre not making a non-roboβ¦,β before he was interrupted by another Tesla executive. Musk later added: βBasically, I think having a regular $25K model is pointless. It would be silly.β

Actually read the article: It's the exact opposite, they're still making the FSD version.
They're not making the version that people can drive.
The article literally says they're doing FSD and cheap, together.
What they aren't doing is Cheap and Human operated.
It's a choice of Cheap+FSD or Expensive+Human Controlled or FSD. There won't be a cheap human operated model.
Tesla stock is by far the most overvalued stock in the world, and its not even close.
The only thing close to it is the worthless djt stock that dictators use to funnel money to fund the poisoning of our democracy.
Right, so that was his plan all along?
Keep on promising a full self driving experience, which even now won't really happen,
and then promising an affordable Tesla,
which he can then backtrack on?
Overpromise and underdeliver.
That's the Musk motto.
Can't wait to see him fail to bring humanity to Mars, and end up trying to credit himself when NASA do it.
while it took a short hit, it was back up higher again shortly after sadly
Malaysia prepares draft resolution to expel βIsraelβ from the United Nations

Lmao. Does California get its own UN seat next? Maybe Alaska while we're at it
And can the Brits reclaim their former territory too?
It is recognized as a part of China by almost every country on earth including the US (despite its endless shit stirring on all fronts, all they're good for nowadays). The ROC, by the way, also claims mainland China and itself to be the same territory, and their constitution reflects that too, what they disagree on is whether they're the legitimate government of all of China or the PRC is.
If you think Taiwan is the legitimate government of all of China you need to come back to the real world from wherever the state department lured you into.
I doubt they think that. You're being ridiculous. Taiwan is de facto independent, and there is some push over there to declare independence officially. The ROC is of a different era at the end of the day.
The USA doesn't officially recognize the ROC but it is US law that consular, travel and business relations between them. Nancy Pelosi travelled to Tawain only a couple years ago.
Anyway, the rights for all people to self-govern themselves should come first over all that.
I guess it's fortunate that the world doesn't draw borders according to where Nancy Pelosi decides to go. Can't help but notice that all this talk of "the right to self government" is always appended to paragraphs firmly talking about what the US wants and the US does.
Yeah, we know the US government is a hypocritical liar. We know they have been putting up their puppets to talk about independence now that it's become clear China won't go the way of the USSR. The fact is, both parties stick to the one china principle, and if it weren't for the US, Taiwan would have been as integrated with the PRC as Guangzhou or Shenzhen. Ask Chiang Kai Shek and the CIA what they thought of the Taiwanese people's right to self government in the 60s.
Canβt help but notice that all this talk of βthe right to self governmentβ is always appended to paragraphs firmly talking about what the US wants and the US does.
I am not a US citizen and there are plenty of instances of the US government not supporting self-determination. I was talking about myself and I would hope most people's opinion worldwide, not some governement.
The PRC didn't invade Tawia when they the ROC's army fled there. Is that because of the USA? Taiwan has been seperate from China for almost eighty years now, that's a long time!
You shouldn't get to participate in an international organization while murdering the aid workers employed by said organization.
This is just another attempt to destroy the UN.
Burh Israel literally, explicitly called for the UN to be destroyed, and named them a terrorist organization (and of course also played the antisemitic card).

You can advocate for mass violence against innocent people. Define the entire group of innocent people as terrorists and you can call for violence against them. Call them Hamas and you will get away with it.
Terrorist is the magical word.
Stochastic terrorism is a real thing though - and hate speech against a minority is one of the possible ways fascism can take root in a society.
Germany learned this the hard way how easy it is to overtake a country that was previously one of the most liberal and modern societies.
That's why hate speech against minorities and holocaust denial are forbidden and harshly punished here - and that's probably one of the reasons why other countries in Europe had their far-right surges in recent years quite a bit earlier since russia had to be more creative about dividing the population
Advocating for violence and hate speech is fully protected. As long as it is against "terrorists". Whether these people are evil is of little relevance.
You can publicly advocate for the killing of Sinwar or Putin. But not Netanyahu or Trump
You are also not allowed to support groups your government designates as terrorists. Once again; you can support Israeli violence. You cannot support Hamas violence. The past was no different. Supporting groups such as the ANC or the Vietcong was illegal. Because that is terrorism.
The government controls free speech. They simply added a middle man: the word "terrorism".
