She took a plea bargain. Without her as a witness, SBF probably doesn’t get convicted of nearly as many charges. If you read the article, there was a distinct possibility that she wouldn’t do any jail time at all. The judge was relatively harsh with the 2 year sentence in this case.
So this sentencing has essentially nothing to do with her wealth.
This is some baby back bullshit.
The judges fucked up and didn’t give her the appropriate difficulty score for her routine. Her coaches realized this and challenged successfully, raising her score to win the bronze. And then they decided to revert to the original score because the coaches didn’t challenge within 60 seconds? Even though there’s video evidence showing that they actually did?
Ffs give her the medal already, she earned it fair and square.
It’s all about the marketing. They probably wanted German audiences to know its a romantic comedy and not just an action movie

That one. Glen Powell actually showed some serious acting chops in that movie, I really enjoyed it.
Wow, I never would have considered that this stuff would distort the stats so massively. But it actually makes a lot of sense and he seems to have some very damning data points. Very interesting.
It’ll be huge in the context of Lemmy, despite only representing a small percentage of Reddit’s total userbase.
Yeah the more I look into it, I see that it takes direct inspiration from Total Annihilation and SupCom. I messaged my friends who used to play Forged Alliance with me and at least a couple of them have already played this game.
I’ve been waiting for over a decade for a new game in this mold. It’s not just an RTS, it’s a very specific kind of strategic RTS that has a much greater scale than a tactical RTS like Starcraft. I like that it’s more focused on macro than micro.
And the fact you can do 16 player matches is just epic. Supreme Commander was originally limited to 4v4 and then they eventually modded in the ability to play 6v6, but it would frequently cause the framerate to drop to slideshow levels. Can’t wait to try this game out!
Wow this actually looks amazing. Reminds me of Supreme Commander, I used to play Forged Alliance Forever back in the day. Good times.
A) It’s not literally every post
B) Stop using reddit. Problem solved.
Lol. Nice one, I never heard that line before.
Ok I didn’t realize you were just a troll. Good luck with that.
If this is your definition of “objective”, something you can say about the books in the Bible, sure bro I guess.
Seriously? What a ridiculous, intellectually dishonest false equivalency. Why not respond to the remainder of my argument? Do you actually doubt whether the Ancient Greeks existed?
To me objective means it can be empirically proven: 2+2=4. Earth is the third planet from the Sun. Water at sea level boils at 100c. Etc.
Pure empiricism is pure nonsense. Objective truths exist independently of individual minds, while subjective truths exist within minds.
History is composed of a series of events that physically occurred on Planet Earth within the past ~5k years, and were recorded in written form by human beings. Human beings were born, did certain things, wrote them down, and died. We can dig up their remains and verify many of the things they wrote via empirical, scientific methodologies. You can choose to doubt various interpretations of the facts, but your delusions cannot change the inherent reality that lies within.
Your choice to contest the validity of history is demonstrative of a profoundly irrational mindset, because you are rejecting verifiable information in favor of your own subjective assumptions. You would prefer that history not be objective, because you wish to believe your own subjective version of history as an emotional coping mechanism.
You don’t have to imagine what a Kamala Harris presidency would be, because you’re living through that nightmare right now. And it is a nightmare. It’s a nightmare. And you’re going to stop inflation, but we’re going to have a crash, and we’re going to have a crash like a 1929 crash if she gets in. You saw a gentleman yesterday who got up one of the top analysts in the world, frankly, and, said that if Trump is elected, he predicts and he’s predicting you have a stock market crash like 1929. He also said the only time and the only reason the stock market has gone up, even though it had some bad moments recently. But I think we’ll take, I think we’ll take a substantial lead.
So embarrassing.
There is nothing “objective” about History, it is an educated guess.
A lack of absolute certainty does not equate to a lack of objectivity. You’re right that history is necessarily written by individuals who have biases. But it is also written by many individuals from different perspectives and correlated with a variety of other sources of knowledge, such as archeology, geology, etc.
For another example think about what the Greeks wrote about the Persians during their many wars, and vice versa. They are conflicrive accounts. Both biased and political. So again, what history is correct, objective?
They are conflicting on some things, but they also agree on many things. For instance, I’m sure we can agree that the Greeks and Persians existed, controlled large empires, fought wars against each other, etc. Historians are trained to analyze all of the documents available from all perspectives and arrive at the most objective conclusion that they can muster.
I strongly oppose the postmodern attitude that everything is subjective. It’s good to remember the limits of our knowledge, but to completely discard an academic field such as history as entirely subjective is quite absurd.
Cheating in professional sports with insane sums of money on the line is one thing.
But cheating for women’s soccer in the Olympics, when you literally won the gold medal 4 years prior, is just pathetic and shameful. I’m glad they threw the book at them.
Nah, I bet he’s faking it. Continuity error
