A quick definition of inference:

Term: Inference

Definition: Inference is when you use facts that you know to figure out something that you don't know. It's like putting puzzle pieces together to make a picture. For example, if you see a wet umbrella and wet footprints on the floor, you can infer that someone walked inside with a wet umbrella. Inference is often used in court to help figure out what happened based on the evidence presented.

A more thorough explanation:

Inference is a logical conclusion that is drawn from presented facts. It is a rule of logic that is commonly used as evidence in a trial. Inference is made when a fact is proven by examining other facts that lead to a reasonable conclusion. This process is known as deductive reasoning.

  • If it is raining outside and you see someone carrying an umbrella, you can infer that they are trying to stay dry.
  • If a person is sweating and has a high temperature, you can infer that they have a fever.

These examples illustrate how inference works. In the first example, the fact that it is raining outside and the person is carrying an umbrella leads to the reasonable conclusion that they are trying to stay dry. In the second example, the fact that the person is sweating and has a high temperature leads to the reasonable conclusion that they have a fever.

Overall, inference is a useful tool for drawing logical conclusions based on presented facts.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
