Not nationwide. Started Friday night in Atlanta.

It's an accumulation of incidents, this hasn't been a one time thing. It has happened for years and gone unchecked. It's funny that you are surprised that people are upset.
 
I thought those protests had more to them than just a gas tax?

Sure. The average frenchman is feeling the squeeze for a variety of factors, and of course, they just have revolution baked into their national identity (like actually, not just pretend, like the americans). But I doubt you'll find anyone who thinks that ''when the looting starts, the shooting starts'' is awesome, was saying the same thing about the yellow vests.

I wonder what the difference could be. If that's not convincing, boogaloo. Member that? I member.

I mean, if you’re okay with rioting.

Most protest movements are fueled by many grievances but are set off by a specific event or policy.
So you can’t use those as excuses for rioting.
They got arrested two months after the fact after the DA tried to cover for them because the dad was a retired cop, its a perfect example of what I was talking about. If anything it shows that the legal system will try to avoid holding cops accountable even after they've retired and aren't acting as an officer.

To me the boogaloo thing was always a joke/meme. At least the firearm pages I follow generally treat them as such.

There is a time in my view to stand up and "put a foot down" where armed resistance is necessary. Rooftop Koreans as an example during the race riots of the 90s.
 
Yea, I think most people agree that the looting and property damage is bad

I'm not sure how true that statement is. A week ago, I'd believe it without blinking. Now? Not so sure it's true.
 
@Andy Capp in a sense most machine learning methods are bayesian. You are trying to find the conditional estimate of some parameter, given a bunch of observations and beliefs about the problem. For example, let's take searching an area. Let's say there's an object that is in one of a few different bins, and for each bin you have a prior probability that the object is in it, and there's a probability that you will find it if you look in the bin, and then there's a probability that you'll look in that bin. You can pretty easily construct a bayesian rule for searching this space. This could be your state, action pair at each step, just so long as the markov property holds.

Please don't take this the wrong way, because I'm sure it's just me and the mood I'm in lately (honestly), but through this entire exchange, it feels like each of your replies are agreeing with me but are worded like you are arguing against me. Things are seriously fucky inside my head in general these days so take that FWIW.
 
Welp, my day is ruined.

I just learned about something called Ug99 rust stem, which is a fungus that has the potential to ruin the world's wheat supply. Apparently its starting to rapidly spread outside of the ME and East Africa. We might be looking to check off "world wide famine" as part of the 2020 Biblical Plague checklist.

There's always a time to stand up and fight, people just disagree when that is. I said to the poster JoneBones that, if push ever came to shove, all these boogaloo fuckers would turn into black hundreds in a heart beat. I'm a lot closer to the mark on that one than he was.

I think you injected the wrong marijuana. I'm not arguing with you, I'm expounding, because you asked me to.

What makes you believe that most people want to see cities burning?
