It created the federal sex offender registry and created a bunch of new stricter sentencing guidelines for domestic violence and sex related crimes - especially against children
I've not had ANY help from the Federal Government in regards to a sex offender I've been chasing. I'm in the process of trying to get a guy arrest for molesting his daughter and another little girl (4 & 7 years old). He's been bouncing statelines (Arkansas to Wisconsin to Oregon). There is absolutely ZERO federal help. The guy just moves state to state after it is discovered he isn't actually homeless and avoids being leveled because it's a state program. Here is the court case: https://caseinfo.arcourts.gov/cconnect/PROD/public/ck_public_qry_doct.cp_dktrpt_frames?backto=P&case_id=32CR-20-28&begin_date=&end_date=The arrest warrant is for only a 400 mile radius of Independence County. The dude bounced from Wisconsin after it was discovered he wasn't actually homeless (bad guys want to avoid giving their address and causing noise). The bad guy has been living in Eugene Oregon just like your average American.... He's told the Sex Registration people in OR that he lives in a Walmart parking lot, but Walmart assures us that isn't possible due to COVID19 restrictions. No one cares.  So the idea there is a federal system for this in place is absolutely laughable from my standpoint after actually having experience with this shit... Here is what they say:  No mention of pending warrants or ANYTHING helpful to protecting the public. It's disgusting and sad to the core. Multiple entries, missing information, not updated information and they all basically refuse to do their jobs while this guy could be legit killing kids in Oregon. I don't think the registry is intended to help civilians hunt them down since they've already been convicted and sentenced. And if you're LE you would have other resources that wouldn't be made available to the public for obvious reasons. But I digress. I was only giving an example of federal changes that have been made over the past few decades other than the only one you could think of, the ban on automatic weapons. |

Like? Can you name one lasting change from the federal government? Only thing I can think of is banning fully automatic rifles from poor people... I don't know how much that helped our country.
The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act from the 90s is one good example. Not all of it lasted, but most of the big stuff did. It created the federal sex offender registry and created a bunch of new stricter sentencing guidelines for domestic violence and sex related crimes - especially against children, authorized the federal government to hold local law enforcement accountable for civil rights violations via civil suits, made a bunch of federal crimes punishable by death, made a bunch of new laws to stop gang related violence, created the 3 strike program and a bunch of other stuff. Senator Biden wrote it. NOT a thing to be proud of. For Mr. Biden to win support from the young voters who were critical to President Obama’s election victories, according to activists like Jeremy Haile, he will need to show his views have evolved. “Any Democrat that is interested in gaining support among the current electorate, particularly the progressive civil rights communities, is going to have to say that previous tough-on-crime policies were a mistake,” said Mr. Haile, federal advocacy counsel at the Sentencing Project. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/22/us/politics/joe-bidens-role-in-90s-crime-law-could-haunt-any-presidential-bid.htmlThat's more of a fair point than 'Biden was in politics for decades and nothing changed, therefor if he's president nothing will change'. I don't see anyone that's involved in any sort of progressive group not voting for Biden at this point though. The only votes up for grab at this point are people that likely aren't going to vote and aren't really paying attention. Go right ahead with that, praise your candidate that was responsible for the "3 strikes and you're out" lunacy. The nutty ideas that put hundreds of thousands of minority men in jail for years each. It is what it is. But look at the upside. After the back room fat cats get rid of Biden, they'll have lots of negatives to pile on him as they give power to the real puppet. Wait, those negatives will keep him from getting elected in the first place... Huh? Go back and read the conversation you're responding to. |

"Trump encourages North Carolina residents to vote twice to test mail-in system" https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/trump-encourages-north-carolina-residents-vote-twice-test-mail-system-n1239140in memory of TECSHARE"President Trump encourages supporters to vote absentee-by-mail early, and then show up in person at the polls or the local registrar to verify that their vote has already been counted," Trump campaign official Tim Murtaugh said. "It’s amazing that the media can go from insisting that voter fraud doesn’t exist to screaming about it when President Trump points out the giant holes in the Democrats’ voting schemes.”He's gone and done something so stupid that nobody but him could get away with it and it surprised me yet again. Impressive. |

ANNOUNCING THE MICRO
BITCOIN SERIES OF POKER! I think you should make it really easy to figure out how the leader board works and what the prizes are. Make sure the way you calculate points isn't stupid or there will be nonstop bitching about it. If you want to do something gimicky and interesting you could have 50% of the rake collected go towards the leaderboard prizes. Also you really should address the rake increase thing before posting anymore big image promo stuff. It looks like you're trying to bury the criticism which will only make things worse. Increasing rake without announcing it is a big nono. You could've announced twice the increase and gotten half the pushback really. Poker players don't like to feel like someone is trying to pull one over on them. |

We have a lot of problems but I just don't know ANY cops that resemble your profile as described. ANY, anywhere.

You are right if Trump wins many activists and grass root organisations will not take it well but let us not forget Trump has his own supporter base including evangelicals and the right-wing so this Presidential election will get messy.
Isn't that how it should be, Biden's supporters, the BLM and those who think Trump has had a bad four years as POTUS wouldn't celebrate if Trump wins, there could be maybe few riots here and there from members of the BLM, but that will be all, nothing significant, the U.S. is a first world nation and I think if there's any case of post election violence, it will be extinguished asap. Many of the postal votes will be counted after election day and both camps will definitely contest the result either through the media or maybe in the Courts
When politicians go to court after losing an election, it usually doesn't change the result at the end of the court hearing, sometimes I wonder why they still make that move of going to court. In some third world countries, post election cases can last over four years (adjournment upon adjournment) by then the winners tenure is already up, lol, it's a waste of time imo. It's definitely possible that what you're describing is what happens. But if it's even a somewhat close election and Biden is declared the winner, it's entirely possible Trump just says 'no, he cheated, I won'. or 'we need a do over, here's an executive order now you have to do it' or whatever. And then what. Trump still has a couple months with all the powers of the president. The entire Military reports to him, he's already demonstrated how easy it is to pretend like congress doesn't exist and manipulate the media, there are millions of Americans that actually believe the things he says - no matter how irrational or obviously untrue they are - and millions more that think it's funny when people get pissed that he lies so much. That's a shitload of power. As soon as we don't know who the president is, (half the country considers Biden President, the other half thinks it's Trump), we're no longer a first world country or the United States. |

I would say all of that was fine, the way I would expect a cop to behave. So then it dispels this myth that they were out there to harm him or evil spirited from the start. It doesn't prove that they didn't have evil intentions, but I personally don't think they did. None of the things you mentioned is being criticized, and none of them make the way Flloyd was treated a few minutes later acceptable. At this point all I can say is you should really go back and watch again, and try to forget about anything related to politics, or BLM, or anyone elses response or even the fact that he ended up dead. Just watch and listen and ask yourself if what the cop is doing should be considered acceptable in your society. No point in going back and forth anymore. |

What would you say when officer Lane took Floyd away from the road and put him on the side walk for his own safety (he even told Floyd this)? What would you say when officer Keung offered to roll down the windows and turn on the AC when Floyd was refusing to get into the car? What about when they called EMS immediately once it became apparent Floyd needed them? What about when one of the officers confirmed EMS was en route when it seemed it was taking so long?
I would say all of that was fine, the way I would expect a cop to behave. None of this points to this idea that he was treated terribly. Again, he was put into restraint because it's policy by MPD and because the officers thought Floyd was going through a medical distress episode.
This is why I still have to question whether you actually watched what happened. The reason for the outrage is that he stayed on top of him for 8+ minutes, 2 of which he was unresponsive - but all you keep going back to is 'cops are allowed to restrain people in situations like that'. Well yeah, no shit. For a few seconds if it's necessary to get someone under control, fine. Not for 8 minutes, that's cruel. Plus you might kill the guy. Flloyd was under control:   I'm just letting you know that there is, without actually exaggerating, probably a 90 percent shot Chauvin gets off these charges. You're trying to argue that the cop is innocent. There's a big difference. |

What worries me is that it looks like the U.S. is headed for a civil war. ...
I'm not seeing any rationale for a civil war, except on the part of the Democrats and Left: "We want power! We want power and it doesn't matter the people won't give it to us!"  That is quite usual in the left. In fact, that is how Lenin came to power.
Sure, revolution is the product of a radical, violent small minority. But Russia had had a long history of fascination with communism.  |

just to bump, still cheating
why, oh why, didnt I check NitroDice for scam. Thinking they are legit, cuz few sites listed them. Next time I'll know better!
using dicebot, I got 13 red ones, twice in 1000 bets, on 1.25x payout. I mean, wtf man.
Tried to get that streak in varius programs (online/offline). Highest I got was 10 reds (Excel 1.05 million numbers).
everything was fine until I didn't raised the bet
I know we've been through this, but it's been a while so.... They're provably fair, meaning if they're cheating you, all you need to do is post the player seed/hashed server seed/server seed/nonce. If something funny is going on they will get caught. Until then most will assume that you're mad bc you lost. |

Did you watch the 10 minutes of him on the ground or not? Assuming they did not. Because even if some is going through a manic episode due to the use of drugs, that does NOT in anyway justify putting your KNEE and your ENTIRE BODY WEIGHT on someones neck. No one has an issue with restraining someone who is manic and is a threat to those around them. But people do have an issue with what happened in that video which CAUSED the death of Floyd. Right? Putting it into words doesn't come close to accurately portraying how fucked up the situation was. Assuming anyone defending the cop actually watched it was my bad. Reminds me of the Mueller report. |

Good example of why people who support Trump think the polls that don't look good for Trump are fake.  "NO INFORMATION about the sample"   "R or D"  "or anything else" The survey was conducted using KnowledgePanel, the largest and most well-established online probability-based panel that is representative of the adult US population. Our recruitment process employs a scientifically developed addressed-based sampling methodology using the latest Delivery Sequence File of the USPS – a database with full coverage of all delivery points in the US. Households invited to join the panel are randomly selected from all available households in the U.S. Persons in the sampled households are invited to join and participate in the panel. Those selected who do not already have internet access are provided a tablet and internet connection at no cost to the panel member. Those who join the panel and who are selected to participate in a survey are sent a unique password-protected log-in used to complete surveys online. As a result of our recruitment and sampling methodologies, samples from KnowledgePanel cover all households regardless of their phone or internet status and findings can be reported with a margin of sampling error and projected to the general population.
The study was conducted in both English and Spanish. The data were weighted to adjust for gender by age, race/ethnicity, education, Census region, metropolitan status, household income, party identification, race/ethnicity by gender, race/ethnicity by age, and race/ethnicity by education. The demographic benchmarks came from the 2019 March supplement of the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS). Party ID benchmarks are from recent ABC News/Washington Post telephone polls. The weighting categories were as follows:
Gender (Male, Female) by Age (18–29, 30–44, 45–59, and 60+)
Race/Hispanic Ethnicity (White Non-Hispanic, Black Non-Hispanic, Other or 2+ Races Non-Hispanic, Hispanic)
Education (High School graduate or less, Some College, Bachelor and beyond)
Census Region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West)
Metropolitan status (Metro, non-Metro)
Household Income (Under $25,000, $25,000-$49,999, $50,000-$74,999, $75,000-$99,999, $100,000-$149,999, $150,000+)
Party ID (Democrat, Republican, Independent, Something else)
Race/ethnicity (White/Other Non-Hispanic, Black Non-Hispanic, Hispanic) by Gender (Male, Female)
Race/ethnicity (White/Other Non-Hispanic, Black Non-Hispanic, Hispanic) by Age (18-44, 45+)
Race/ethnicity (White/Other Non-Hispanic, Black Non-Hispanic, Hispanic) by Education (Some College or less, Bachelor and beyond)
The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, for results based on the entire sample of adults. The margin of sampling error takes into account the design effect, which was 1.17. The margin of sampling error is higher and varies for results based on other sub-samples. In our reporting of the findings, percentage points are rounded off to the nearest whole number. As a result, percentages in a given table column may total slightly higher or lower than 100%. In questions that permit multiple responses, columns may total substantially more than 100%, depending on the number of different responses offered by each respondent. https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/2020-08/topline-abc-ipsos-poll-aug30.pdfhttps://www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-polls/abc-republican-national-convention-2020"I've been getting some really good polls, some over 50%, except one"      ...etc https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/national/ |

Posted in other thread last night, just saw this thread. I see the goal being scored at 14:36:34 on the archived live feed you linked, which I assume after adjusting for time zone was 8 or 9 seconds after the bet was accepted.   |
