if you're too much of a feckless hand-wringer to do anything to defend your community from predators.

Unlike you, I do things that work instead of just putting myself in jail. I was lucky to grow up in a household with education and without violence, so that's why I'm more likely to make correct decisions.

the will of the people is ignored

News to me.

your advice

is to call for his resignation, raising embarrassment until he does. I'm active in local politics, so I know what works. It's the people who aren't active in politics who think action movies have all the answers. Rand Paul is still in office. Tony Gonzales will not be.

Whatever you say, Batman. Are you the one who's going to deliver the punch?

Plenty of other countries have more vigilante justice and still have corrupt leaders, so clearly that doesn't work either. Maybe instead work to make your government better. In a democracy, it represents the will of the people.

In the video, ChatGPT was actually being used as a stopwatch instead of a countdown timer.

This will actually be solved in a week. All it takes is to add the current time to each input.

It's never "bothsidesing" if you take a position.

Responding to your opponent's strongest argument is steelmanning, and it's always good practice if you want to convince people instead of just get clicks.

The person I replied to said that the US vetoed the Resolution. I pointed out that it did not and cannot veto the Resolution. It passed.

[–] pfried@reddthat.com 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

No, it's not. Your confusion probably stems from the fact that the US has veto power over UN Security Council Resolutions. It cannot veto Resolutions passed by the General Assembly. This was a General Assembly Resolution.

No, it's not. This resolution was adopted with a vote of 186-2-0. https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3954949?ln=en&v=pdf

The article would be better if it linked to the reasons for the no votes and critiqued them. Otherwise, it's just low effort outrage bait. To be clear, I don't think the no votes were justified. I just don't like low effort outrage bait.
