Would be funny if the last panel had George Lucas in the turbolift with a knife

A percentage is a ratio of two numbers, in this case you are trying to compare

^People who engaged in violence and were convicted at one protest^/~People who were at that protest~

with

^Number of protest events that became violent^/~Number of protest events for this cause~

To compare that you will have to wait a few years for all of the court cases to wind down. Hope that helps.

EDIT: Format

And trying to conflate a percentage of protests with a percentage of people at one particular protest. The two are not comparable.

As millenials I think the best thing we can do for the later generations is to just take a back seat. Thanks to boomers our generation has never held political power, and if we accept that and immediately pass to the younger gens instead of trying to make up for lost time I think we will leave them in a better spot.

Everyone else: This bank is directly invested in manufactoring illegal weapons.

You: Blaming bankers for the direct obvious result of their investment sounds pretty antisemetic

You're mostly right, but I would say that Obama is not who people remember here when it comes to the water crisis. It was a ridiculous overreach by a Republican Governor and as someone who has lived in the area since before the crisis I still hear Rick Snyder and the emergency managers overwhelmingly. Obama barely gets mentioned

It might have encouraged you to notice that they are saying that the increase you are talking about is likely a statistical anomaly caused by the depressive effect sex work being illegal has on victims coming forward.

Put simply, sex work being illegal is beneficial to human traffickers because it keeps victims from seeking help. If you are a victim of a crime you're more likely to come forward when you are not likely to get charged yourself for the trouble of being trafficked.

After reading the article it seems likely this is still the case. They said operating system links still open in edge even when you have another browser configured, so Microsoft is still putting Edge in a privileged position. I guess we just have to wait and see how privileged it ends up being.

Closed source software has the exact same bullying issue, the difference is instead of the bullies being random people on the internet, they are managers with power over you. They are at least as likely to make you do something dangerous as the randoms, but they don't have to try as hard to hide it.

I hope that her defense also makes the argument that there is no damages because online reviews have zero value when the majority of them are fake paid reviews.

Its a good time and seeing the beavers doing their cute little thing never gets old. That is sadly a double edged sword because if you're bad like me it is quite possible to have your beaver community fall to famine

Making a game mod friendly is a pretty challenging task IMO. I understand why its not a priority for day 1 because first it adds no value on day 1 generally, since it takes time for people to play and then design and implement mods. Second, if your game is barely getting over the finish line, as many AAA games lately seem to be, then you should probably have allocated those resources to making sure basic functioning is good before you add mods.
