You fucking dick head. Can’t you people just not assault women? Is it that fucking hard?

Edit: and I get these are just allegations - innocent until proven guilty… But like damn dude. 3 women?

solsangraal ,

if someone had to sign an NDA, then that’s pretty damn sketchy

sgibson5150 OP ,

Three more women for a total of five, the way I read it. Original allegations arrived last month.

Fun fact. That was in Grafton, NH. NH doesn’t have sales tax. Instead, there’s a correspondingly high property tax.

At least they get good value for it. The schools aren’t terrible, and the roads are better than the much wealthier state of MA right nearby.

Does North Dakota have the same tourism industry that New Hampshire has?

TransplantedSconie ,

Lol. One of the “must see places” was the state capital. Which is a 21-floor art deco style sky-scraper.

Woop-dee doo.

What a weird-ass state.

loie ,

Definitely not. There’s Teddy Roosevelt National Park, which is gorgeous, but it doesn’t attract nearly as much tourism of all the stuff that’s four hours south…

South Dakota has Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, Mammoth Site, Black Hills National Forest, Deadwood and Sturgis, a couple good private zoos in Reptile Gardens and Bear Country. All of that stuff is within a 1 hour drive of Rapid City, which has plenty of good hotels and restaurants and just generally what you’d expect from a modern midsize city. Rapid City is honestly worth the trip for anyone, but If you’re a real outdoorsy person then you could easily enjoy a month out there. Oh and then not that far away (relatively speaking - 2 hours drive) is Devil’s Tower in Wyoming.

So no… NoDak is comparatively sparse. And they probably like it that way.

Gonna get even more sparse when they eliminate running water and sewage service.

AbidanYre ,

NoDak is comparatively sparse. And they probably like it that way.

And therein lies the problem. New Hampshire gets away with it because they have money coming in people visiting the state (and the state owning the liquor stores).

For anyone wondering why “Liquor and Beer” doesn’t say tax at the end like tobacco, every liquor store in the state is run by the state.

tyrant , in Neil Gaiman: Three Women Accuse Author of Sexual Assault

Damnit. This always sucks to hear but it sucks even more when it’s someone who’s work is (was) enjoyable.

citrusface ,

The work can still be enjoyable - you can separate the art from the artist.

solsangraal ,

lol this argument just happened in a thread about jk rowling.

enjoy your rapist stories

tal ,
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

I dunno about him, but I have. I really like Sandman. American Gods was okay, but nothing that blew me away.

considers

Come to think of it, I’d probably enjoy a work coauthored by Neal Gaiman and JK Rowling.

tyrant ,

I don’t enjoy supporting the artist even if the art is good and don’t buy into this argument. If you support the art, the artist is still making money off of it. Unless they are dead I guess…

floofloof ,

It’s possible to enjoy the art without giving material support or publicity.

citrusface ,
some_guy ,

I choose to continue to enjoy the work of people who turned out to be shitheads from before learning that they are shitheads. Michael Jackson, Phil Anselmo, now Neil Gaiman (actually, last year for him). All people who created great art that I enjoy and whose future work I will not consume (for the ones that are still alive). To be clear, MJ is only before the allegations. Thriller still kicks ass.

solsangraal , in Neil Gaiman: Three Women Accuse Author of Sexual Assault

jesus fucking christ does everyone have to turn out to be a fucking asshole?

massive_bereavement ,

My reaction as well. At least Terry Pratchett left us too early but he is not touched by any of this shit.

I meant it as him and Gaiman being friends.

Locking Trump up in the same cell as Elon would be not only so immensely gratifying, but would probably be fitting and almost unbearable for both of them.

Infynis ,
@Infynis@midwest.social avatar

Unfortunately it would be unconstitutional, because locking either of them up with anyone would be considered cruel and unusual

CaptainSpaceman , in Study Finds Faces Evolve to Match Names Over Time - Neuroscience News

Based on the methods, seems a stretch to say this isnt correlation alone

Gsus4 OP ,
@Gsus4@mander.xyz avatar

I don’t care which way the causation goes or whether it comes from the name choice and preferences of the parents (yea, bad title), what surprised me is that ML can predict a name based on a face at all, there should be no correlation in first place.

Windex007 ,

I disagree. Age biases the statistical likelihood of a name. Features that hint in any ethnic direction. Also some visible features might bias towards urban vs rural upbringing which also would also lean names in another direction.

Gsus4 OP , (edited )
@Gsus4@mander.xyz avatar

Oh yea, baby name trends, ethnicity, I don’t know how heterogeneous the datasets they are using are when they mention the strength of the correlation, I was imagining it would distinguish a John from a Peter, but there could be a much lower correlation in that subset.

givesomefucks ,

Yeah, just the wording of the title is a huge red flag.

I’m curious if “faces” are really just faces or shoulders up where hairstyles and clothes give clues.

Like, an a adult that goes by Bob, Bobby, or Robert looks different. And people would subconsciously account for age and what names were popular.

A lot of shit goes on behind the scenes and sometimes the conscious brain doesn’t know and makes up it’s own reason for why it decided something.

cygnus , in North Dakota voters will decide whether to abolish property taxes
@cygnus@lemmy.ca avatar

They’re replacing it with Land Value Tax, right? Right?..

Rhaedas ,

Or sales tax, or something else. High taxation and misuse of taxes is bad, but taxes themselves support the infrastructure everyone uses. So if they get rid of this, something else is going to have to take its place unless the property tax was way too high.

Brkdncr ,

I thought we’ve seen what happens when you don’t have blended tax sources.
