Ah, the resident troll

If they want to beat the charges, they need to announce their own AI trained on the data several billion in Series A investment funding.

Dude…It’s a hypothetical

Okay, you got me. I don’t need a condom to have hypothetical sex.

China’s HSR network is (largely by necessity to make sure there is a large enough migrant workforce available to break any worker organizing)

Is there any actual correlation between HSR and labor organizing? It seems like you pulled that out of nowhere.

I don’t care about your insults

Keep saying that. Maybe you can get someone to believe it

You are literally angry that no one is gonna let you argue in bad faith

Nothing “Bad Faith” about it. You’re presented with facts, you reject them for propaganda.

The conversation dead ends as people downvote anything that rattles their priors.

Because the US is shit, doesn’t mean China can use that as a standard

Because the US is ideological, you reject that any other county might be doing better.

What if China’s domestic policy is centered on public high speed mass transit, not individual car ownership?

Given the high number of school shootings and political shootings and general stocastic violence in the states, it’s more surprising that this doesn’t happen as frequently.

Kirk getting got in the middle of Gun Nut Apologia was certainly a cherry on top, though.

It won’t work. But it would be extremely funny if he’s able to wiggle out of this due to the sheer tidal wave of incompetence at all levels of government.

You only get called a wumao if you parrot the official CCP line

Anything that isn’t reactionary propaganda against China is “the official CCP line”. You can say the most inane shit about their high speed rail network or post pretty pictures from the fucking Panda Sanctuary and it’s CCP propaganda.

Also trying to paint China and it’s government as flawless or deflecting any criticism

You’re just proving my point. How can you engage in any kind of serious discussion when the rebuttal is “You think China is perfect!” and “Stop talking about non-China countries for comparison!”

How do you have a serious discussion when even the most minor concession is met by “So you admit China Bad! I win!” Nevermind when there’s actual criticism rather than paranoid bullshit, and its just ignored because it doesn’t sound critical enough.

Didn’t Weiss round up all the people with scruples and fire them already? Or was she just firing people at random and hoping the ones with scruples would catch strays?

I care quite a bit. But, like, in the same way I care about Charlie Kirk’s neck wound.

Why you want their to be only two genders, mate? You want to be around more men, issit?

Your insults mean nothing to me.

Spilling a lot of ink to suggest otherwise

Sadly, any serious analysis is meet with “Wumao Bot Tankie” on reflex.

More than two word of a post that don’t begin “China Bad” bounce right off the mental deflector dish reactionaries shelter under.

If you look at the wikipedia page on defensive gun use, you see that since it’s not centrally tracked and many go unreported

The definition of “defensive use” ranges from “discharged weapon at assailant” to “announced possession of weapon at scary noise”. So much of it relies on taking police reports at face value, no questions asked.

But the real issue IMHO, which is unfortunately not tracked AFAIK, is how many gun crimes are committed with legal guns. IE, legally purchased/owned guns by a non-prohibited gun owner. That IMHO is some data that would really help settle the issue.

I haven’t seen anything to suggest legality of ownership translates to defensiveness of use.

And none of this addresses the central problem of gun ownership - suicide. You are the person most likely to be killed by your own gun.

it’s better than the rest of TX that I can find. I’m open to suggestions.

Texas Tribune is still good, even if they’ve been on the downswing due to budget cuts. Houston Landing might have been good, but it flamed out when they couldn’t find enough advertisers or build a subscription base fast enough. I enjoyed City Cast Houston from time to time, but they’re gone now.

sigh

I forgot Propublica

They’re definitely good.

All the other times you attacked your allies?

It’s sort of our thing

This has got to be the stupidest comment you’ve said in our entire exchange

Brother, if you don’t want to learn about this country’s history, that’s on you. But your need to scream “Stupid!” every time I say something you don’t want to hear isn’t an indictment of my intelligence, just your maturity.
