Does the governor's daughter have nice tits?

No, what I'm telling you is it collects everything ORrelies only on those things that have predictive value.

No one doing data analysis is going to just use whatever Bubba from accounting thinks has value unless Bubba can use the data to show it has value.

The selection issue you are harping on just isn't a real issue.

That our entire society is built on inequality is.

That seems very counterintuitive, but I don't know anything so I will take your word for it.

Off with Their Heads!
 
There's this.

But then, that's why we refused to become a signatory on the ICJ. We knew this would be the outcome, and we were just saying "fuck you" in advance.

Or we feared that some ambitious German (or whatever) would do this even without the obvious war crimes that were committed here.

We might want to move such cases to the ICC rather than have them heard in, say, Mongolia or Yemen at some point in the future.

How do you feel about the police work slowdown?

Does it make any difference?

Ah, but to have a say, we really should be a signatory.
