For those confused: it was the Dutch that placed the display panels about African American soldiers.

It was removed on orders of the Trump administration.

The evidence isn't just weak, it's practically non-existent.

A handful of tweets and some company sales? Come on. This is baseless conjecture at best. There's not a shred of technical evidence presented here.

Election experts have peered over the "statistical anomalies" this article highlights. Afaik all were debunked. The election result was within the polled margins.

I mean, the article even tries to make it suspicious that voters swung more in swing states... Like, duh? That's where the millions of campaign money were poored in.

There was also no evidence of vote flipping, there were a lot of ballots with only Trumps name ticked. But that was a purposeful campaign strategy ("don't worry if you don't like the local R candidate, just make sure to vote Trump"). They didn't flip voters, they managed to mobilize non-voters.

It's also no secret that Biden wasn't popular and Harris didn't meaningfully distinguish herself from him (would have been hard to do anyway). Many voters were also very poorly informed, some only finding out that Harris was the D candidate and not Biden on election day.

I understand the result was disappointing but unless there's some hard evidence of tampering, I'm not inclined to believe the election was tampered with.

I have to disagree a bit here, the recent writing has tried to very heavily shoe-horn it in, whereas in the past it was much more naturally present.

I think the worst one for me (before I quit watching) was with the enormous spiders in the hotel run by a very Trumpian figure.

"Trump" wanted to just shoot the enormous spider, but the Doctor stopped him saying "no weapons, ever". The spider then died an agonizing death caused by suffocation on-screen mere seconds later. Her offspring was lured and locked into a storage room with food, after which they would surely either cannibalize themselves or starve. Actually shooting them would've been a mercy at that point.

When presented with the Doctor's solution versus the "Trump" solution, I felt more sympathy for "Trump". And I fucking hate that guy. That's when I knew the writing just wasn't for me anymore.

There's a reason even the more diehard Whovians, who are very much considered "woke" are tuning out. It's not the cast, it's the writing.

If there's anything Europeans know to be true, it's that Paris is a giant tourist trap. Not worth it imo.

Not sure it's that bold even. Chrome has approx. 10% more lines of code than Linux, and even for Linux 60% is just drivers.

Flawed metric, sure, but it at least shows that they're probably similar in complexity.

It's less antisemitic though. Please don't conflate Jewish people with Israel, it's caused enough problems as it is.

Trump was officially nominated by the RNC as their candidate. Biden hadn't been nominated by the DNC yet, that was supposed to happen at the conference in a couple weeks. But now that he has pulled out, he will not be nominated and thus not be the official candidate.

It can't be effective. The risk of false-positives is huge.

I'm going to ignore the incredibly horrifying insinuation that all Palestinians are Hamas-terrorists, and fix your analogy: what if the school shooters were a group of parents, whose children (who didn't do anything wrong) are also in the same school. There's also a couple teachers who can't do anything against the school shooters out of fear of being fired.

How many innocent teachers and children have to be in the school before bombing the school becomes morally wrong?

It's about Hitler somehow travelling forwards in time and ending up in the present. It's a comedic social commentary. Think Borat but Hitler.
