Graffiti artist banned from 20% of US after Reddit users' investigation

I absolutely cannot stand people like that. we go onto federal lands almost daily, and if you wanted to follow us, it would be like looking for the klingons when they are cloaked. We always pick up trash when we are out, so you could probably track us by following the cleanest trails. The only real trace we ever leave is little stacks of rocks. Not in places where anyone is ever likely to see them, but on top of peaks. My kids love to climb to the top of everything, as I did when I was younger. I always left a little cairn up there, so the next person, years or centuries from then, would know that they were not the first. Of course, usually there are tool flakes up there as some Ute kid probably had to stay there and watch for herd animals.
I am of course not talking about popular National Parks or maintained trails.

The court of public opinion is not your business, though.

I got five years of probation for having a pot pipe.

Sorry. I just see this as a slap on the wrist.

The court of public opinion is literally everyone’s business. But that’s not my point. I only meant to disagree with the way that journalists often present accusations as fact. Please note that I do not mean this to be a reflection on this topic, but as a general concern of mine (which is why I said it’s only tangentially related).

I hear that…as far as the prison complex, and overcrowding. But, I stand by my previous staements.

I should’ve been a judge. Maybe if I had gone to college… ha ha

there’s pictures of her actually drawing on rocks.

Yeah, good on you. However, and just in case you were wondering, that’s not also how the legal system works. If you ever have a trial attorney ask the jury or the judge, “but how can we trust the evidence when reality is ultimately unknowable?” during closing statements, you’ll probably also regret not taking the plea deal.

So you wouldn’t have to google it later, obvs

Based on what evidence? Is it complete evidence?

Banksy has talent. One the evidence presented, she doesn’t.

Generally when I’m walking up the stairs, > 2 sigma will do for the probability that the next step hasn’t been removed by invisible elves.
Years ago, my philosophy of science supervisor remarked that most people got over philosophical uncertainty in about a term. After all, the entire visible universe consists of things that either don’t know where they are or don’t know how fast they are going, and once you’ve grasped that, everything else is just an anticlimax.
