Ultimately I was referring to your comment, in the context of criticizing the comment criticizing the comment responding to your comment. Some nuance and charity that I would normally apply if responding directly to your comment naturally got lost with the indirection.

To respond more directly to it, "reasonable suspicion" is a term of art in the law, and it's a term that explicitly refers to a lower standard of proof than probable cause, which is the term of art describing the standard of proof required to enter a house and arrest someone like this. It's not the case that police routinely arrest people on just this lower standard of proof (they're prohibited from doing so).

Interpreted charitably your comment was merely using the term in a non-artful way, to refer to the different higher standard of probable cause. However given the context of the thread, article, and the current US government's recent actions, I don't think the comment dang responded to interpreted your comment that way - rather I think they interpreted it as you advocating for the government arresting people under this (unlawful, lower) standard.

I don't think the comment Dang responded to strongly rebuking your comment under this interpretation weakened their argument - it's an interpretation that is out of line enough that a strong rebuke is the effective response. Hence why I objected to that part of Dang's reasoning in telling them off.
There's a whole Amendment about this.[1]

> support media, particularly local.

Agreed. No argument on that.

> there are protests to attend if that's your thing.

I'm afraid they're not. I'm happy to donate money to causes for people to protest but just being honest, I'm probably not going to do it.

> Tesla takedown is getting a lot of traction

I don't really want to damage strangers' property. I don't own any car as I just take public transportation, so I can't really say I'm "boycotting" Tesla any more than any other brand.

> Can you get folks to move off Twitter?

None of my family or friends were really using Twitter even before Elon bought it.

> To make a plan to vote in the next election?

All my family and friends vote in every election anyway.

> To themselves support local media or organizations?

Again, agreed on that. I'll mention that to parents next time I talk to them.

> Perhaps to run for school board or other local office?

I've debated it, but I think I'm a bit too eccentric to be a good politician. I am also afraid it would turn me evil.

I don't really disagree with anything you said, just that I'm already doing most of what you suggested.

One inferred point of the article is that eroding the first amendment makes the rest less imposing to circumvent.
Disinformation is not free speech.
I find it remarkable that Americans are ok with rule by executive order instead of rule by congressional law.

I also find it fascinating that no federal judge has held any Trump administration officers in contempt or imposed sanctions/bans on officers who are continuously hurting constitutional rights.

I assume that Americans have been sleeping at the wheel, unaware of the threat of slide into fascism. But is the voter-base and judiciary just unaware/unwilling to throttle persistent attacks?

The only reliable action by voters has been demonstrations outside Tesla stores. But look at Turkey, Serbia etc. - people have taken over their capitals and are striking en masse.

Are Americans unwilling to protect what makes America special?

That was just earlier today. https://apnews.com/article/trump-third-term-constitution-22n...

We've had ten years of "Trump can't do X."
The 22nd amendment was passed after that though.

FDR was seen as getting America out of the Great Depression and navigating America through WW2 successfully. Oh and alcohol became legal again so you could celebrate the roaring manufacturing economy and military victories with a beer. Trump is no FDR.
There have been some classroom studies in the UK showing a reduction in illness as well. They were a bit better run than this because they had some some pupils in filtered air and some not and even with the mixing at break time the reduction of illness met clinical significance. Given Covid is doing its thing all year around its quite an easy thing to do to drastically reduce the time teachers and pupils spend away from school and its a fairly easy measure to adopt. They do need to have the filters running however and that will involve explaining to the teachers how they work and why they are needed because in a lot of studies compliance has been a big issue usually due to misinformation rather than issues with the devices.
Me and a friend of mine are designing a HAB (high altitude balloon) payload meant to go on Hack Club's Apex: https://apex.hackclub.com. It's designed to measure how altitude, temperature, and much more affect photosynthesis, and in turn, chlorophyll fluorescence in algae. We learned a while back that when you shine blue light on chlorophyll, it fluoresces red, and it's really quite a cool phenomena. We're designing custom PCBs for powering and processing data, and even. It'll all go to a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W which will beam data back to earth over 915Mhz LoRa when it's 100k feet in the sky.

Regardless of "just-so" stories, there exists a physical truth of how our ancestors lived. Sometimes we can learn it, and should at least consider how it affects us, and pretty often (I suspect anyway) the optimal choice will be changing our habits rather than fighting our nature. (Though sometimes "considering" means figuring out how to do better).

Had a few life events happen recently, most significant was 7 year relationship breakdown 2 months ago.

It’s sucked the joy out of life if I’m honest.

I’ve done everything recommended - weightlifting x3, cardio x6, no social media, eating healthy, sleeping healthy, going into the office 5days a week, reading books, being active on weekends, seeing friends.

But I feel like I’m just ticking boxes. I’m sure I’ve made progress, as previously I saw no point in anything in life, and now I’m just sad instead.

But I’ve lost my passion and joy for anything and lack purpose. Can’t enjoy video games, books, outdoor activities

Any ideas? I’m open to trying anything except drugs or alcohol.

Not just an inferred point, it's been explicitly stated before. In the longer form interviews (can't find everything in full at the moment), the context is the news media in particular, but it applies to the general public as well.

Ya, the current students do not, but future students do. They're the ones who will take their business elsewhere.

Schools with slipping standards may not see negative effects in the short term, but people are waking up to the fact that a lot of degrees are nowhere near worth the tuition, and the first schools to go bust will tend to be the ones with the worst cost/benefit ratio.
One problem with nutrition based science is it suffers from nutrigenomics bias. It’s possible to study small cohorts of similar genetics and come to conclusions which fail to extrapolate to larger populations.
It’s possible that this same problem does not apply to air filtration.

A bit more locally; my wife is Mexican and as such I have a lot of Mexican in-laws. I have been helping my brother-in-law deal with immigration lawyers (and paid for them) in hopes that he might be able to get his citizenship soon-ish.

If I felt like anything I did in the grand political scope would do anything, I'd do it. I used to be a lot more active in this stuff, but it's pretty easy to get disillusioned and cynical with this stuff.
Did people get deported for that?

The article has plenty of examples that go well beyond calling things “disinformation”
Both of these things can be true: the administration can fire people responsible for FOIA while fast-tracking requests they consider high priority with the remaining staff.
> I wonder if they actually were following "Aviate, Navigate." end of checklist.

“Communicate” means communication with air traffic control

They did that.

Communication with the passengers is good, of course, but optional, if they have time

> Welker mentioned a possible plan in which Vice President JD Vance would run in 2028 and then “pass the baton” to Trump

Curious how they’d do this. The Twelfth Amendment states that “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States” [1].

Simplest would be to elect two randos, have the House choose Trump as Speaker [2], then have the randos resign [3].

The firehouse is also a deliberate strategy:

> The firehose of falsehood, also known as firehosing, is a propaganda technique in which a large number of messages are broadcast rapidly, repetitively, and continuously over multiple channels (like news and social media) without regard for truth or consistency. An outgrowth of Soviet propaganda techniques, the firehose of falsehood is a contemporary model for Russian propaganda under Russian President Vladimir Putin.

No, they won't adjust.

The students won't watch the recorded videos or do the readings. That's why we have to lecture live.

Then even if we get great students that will do the readings and watch the videos so we can do a flipped classroom; the students will complain that they had to teach themselves and tank the student evaluation scores compared to the lecture version.

Students expect lectures and dislike more active forms of learning even if they learn more. This is not their fault as it's what they've been trained to expect from K-12.

At some point every dictator was more popular with a crowd, sometimes even the moral crowd (Mugabe was aligned with liberating Zimbabwe from colonial rule). Who's to know what FDR would have become if biology hadn't saved him from extended exposure to power.

Trump merely happened to be far gone prior to stepping into office for the first time.
It can also fail outright if voters and Congress pick up the scent of Emperor at midterms. History does not always repeat. If it did, we would not have had democracy to begin with.
> I don't really want to damage strangers' property. I don't own any car as I just take public transportation, so I can't really say I'm "boycotting" Tesla any more than any other brand.

Divest of Tesla. In a 401k move from index funds to other funds without or less TSLA. Or invest in inverse EFTs that essentially short Tesla - TSLS, TSLQ, and TSLZ. Not buying a Tesla or torching a Cybertruck are not the only options.
True, famously, this administration is strictly bound by laws. Don't worry guys, we're safe.
Actually government officials started ignoring the FOIA, firing federal oversight employees, deporting students, and cutting federal funding for colleges that have protests the administration doesn’t like.
On paper he can't do a lot of things but the amount of gutting and cutting that's happened in the last two(!) months makes one realize the laws aren't worth the paper they're written on without a proactive congress interested in keeping the executive in check. Suspending birthright citizenship as established in the 14th amendment is a big one that "he can't do." Challenges to E.O. 14160 are going through the courts right now so we'll see.

Legally speaking, I think an outright challenge to the 22nd amendment will be interesting. As a 20th century amendment the language is pretty clear. But once again we look to what would actually enforce it?
When if ever did the "screeching about disinformation" turn into actual legal or physical threat against Americans or residents?

I generally think this is another of many absurd case of cry bullying, that there's basically no problem here, just that people want to feel bad for themselves & to excuse actual bad acts.

I just don't see that real problem or harm was done to people over disinformation. Meta talked with some people at HHS, and people are flipping their shit that the government talked with social networks, but it seems like a grade a nothingburger from cry bullies, with the big fat 0 of actual interesting claims that the incredibly shallowly obvious manufactured outrage that the Twitter Files amounted to.

Its just so pathetic.

The US Navy has other, very high priorities to balance against cost - national security, global security, freedom, peace, trade, the lives of billions, the lives of its own personnel. The US military may the largest budget of any organization in the world.

At the same time, they invest in those mobile nuclear reactors only for specific needs: attack submarines, ballistic missile submarines, and aircraft supercarriers. They calculate that the benefit of effectively unlimited fuel supply is worth the cost for those ships. The submarines can stay submerged for months at a time and have extensive range, and the carriers can move through the ocean, displacing 100,000 tons of water, to anywhere on the globe without worrying about the logisitcs of the enormous amount of fossil fuel it would require.
They themselves might be “simple” but every real usage I’ve seen has been an impenetrable shitshow.
Yes, misinformation won. But when Trump actively cuts benefits, cuts jobs, cuts research, asks for bribes openly, quid pro quo everywhere, town halls unanswered - do voters in America feel willing to change their votes?

Are voters willing to strike until the President resigns? Or are people ok with the country being sold to third world style corruption that is happening right in front of their faces?

I thoroughly enjoyed them! I think I have both in paperback, though as a teenager, I managed to read them out of order.
My recollection is that the height of the "disinformation" screeching was... the COVID pandemic in 2020 (and subsequently issues around the election itself, in late 2020). Which was while Trump was still president.
That they released a set of pretty inconsequential documents and might release some info on political opponents doesn't make up for gutting FOIA!
Americans allowed Congress to cede a lot of its power to the President after 9/11. That has been a slow-roll towards "rule by EO" since then. In addition, the processes Congress creates are somewhat sclerotic for several reasons; there's a relatively good book out recently by Ezra Klein titled "Abundance" on the details.

Federal judges generally don't prior-constrain the Executive. Hypothetically, the flow of control should be Congress restraining the Executive if it fails to do Congress's will; The judiciary steps in if the Executive tries to do something unconstitutional, but that's restraint of the action; punishment for continued bad behavior should flow from Congress.

Americans are still, overall, quite personally comfortable. I don't anticipate actions at capitals until that comfort is en-masse threatened.
My school made it a rule that any book required by the professor had to have at least one copy in the library system. The book could only be checked out in short increments and wasn't supposed to leave the library. Also it may be in 1 of 14 department specific libraries.

I figured this out freshmen year, and didn't buy books the last 3 years. I would just copy pages as needed for homework/readings. I think I probably looked at 10% of the total pages I was told to buy. Most classes would use less than a hundred pages a semester. The best classes the professor just skipped this rigamarole and handed out packets copied from various books directly.

Only very basic 100 and 200 level classes would stick to a standardized curriculum that followed hundreds of pages in a book. Anything challenging used dense material from real technical books or academic papers.

It might be better to say “Republicans” instead of “Americans” as you do. Americans are a deeply divided group of people: one-third republicans, one-third democrats, and one-third apathetic.

The one-third of Americans who are republicans put Trump in power, and are indirectly responsible for what’s happening — and the vast majority of them of course wholeheartedly fully support these violations of the First Amendment.

The democrats of course oppose all of these things.

Please stop using “Americans” as if this were one solid group of people who share the same views.
