Another day another ruling by the supreme court to erode any confidence in their ability to do anything correctly. Rather than addressing a problem head on, we shall instead hyperfocus on the way it worked itself through our court system to avoid any responsibility at this time.
In college my friends and I had this epiphany about pregnancy. Under the (typically) conservative mindset, all life is deserving to reach birth and to prevent that is itself akin to murder. So with that in mind, shouldn’t we be putting fetus’ on trial when they absorb the other fetus in utero? I mean, the absorbing fetus is literally murdering the absorbed one. And we just let these murderers walk around free for their whole life?
It sure is fun taking bad logic and applying normal logic on top of it. The results are often as silly as the concept.
Take it to the extreme; most eggs fertilized in sex don’t result in pregnancy, they aren’t able to bind to the uteral lining and die. Anyone who has unprotected sex is very likely to cause the death of one or more “people.” Having children is now murder.
Or just let the mother-to-be charge her insurance at hospital rates for all the blood transfusions and other health care she’s giving the fetus.
(As a bit of completely unwarranted pedantry — and I’m not a lawyer — most crimes in the US and other common law countries have a mental component (mens rea). This means that e.g. to be guilty of manslaughter you must have chosen to do something willfully harmful or at least unacceptably dangerous, such as attacking someone or driving drunk. So fetuses and babies cannot be guilty of those crimes. Of course, the “charge your insurance” thing probably doesn’t work either.)
No. The court is ordering the state to allow the necessary medical procedure, NOT mandating to the pregnant woman that she must have an abortion. You either need to read the article more closely, or stop changing the words into different meanings, whichever is relevant.
No no no this is just a cover to be used when the 5G vaccines activate and start causing mass preborn child deaths. These good god fearing women are part of the silent majority and would never actually want an abortion, this is the deep state’s doing!
Oh and something something Jewish space lasers too
I think a nontrivial amount of people are essentially incapable of dealing with even a minute amount of social awkwardness or guilt and functionally cannot bring themselves to hit the zero button, so they'd rather complain about having been made to make the choice rather than accept the fact that they have zero willpower.
Maybe this makes me a selfish ass, but honestly, that doesn't bother me very much. If those people want to help subsidize my own purchases, I'm not gonna complain about it.
Yeah, I feel like the offense at the mere idea of a tip comes from the same place as people who get upset when they misgender me and I gently correct them. Or like, people who will call for a cab ride and then literally apologize the whole way because they somehow feel like me driving (which I like to do) is putting me out.
If people didn’t put so much emphasis on having to be perfect all the time, they’d probably be a lot less horrible when they don’t meet their own standards.
This fucking ghoul gets off with an apology letter and probation, meanwhile a mom in Alabama was forced to give birth in a prison shower and sentenced to 15 years for having an addiction that she tried to seek help with and was denied resources for (convicted of endangering the fetus). The legal system is a fucking joke
Supposedly this is part of how racketeering cases go. Those defendants who flip early get the best deals, basically little more than a slap on the wrist. The next ones get good deals but not quite as lenient, and so on. Because they’re not even the real target. The real win here is the “testify in future trials” part.
What the prosecution actually wants is to snowball a critical mass of the conspirators to all plead guilty and point their fingers at the holdouts, especially the kingpin. That’s how you collapse the whole racket.
If you don’t make them turn on one another then the criminal conspiracy club can hold together and protect each other with plausible and consistent lies. But when some of them start squawking “yep we did it all and here’s how”, the other crooks’ alibis start looking a whole lot less believable.
Oh I get the mechanics of it (attorney myself) but it still exposes a two-tier justice system where those with power and influence get overall better deals for much worse crimes than the poor and those deemed “useless” for future prosecutions. The system doesn’t care about justice but rather prosecutorial efficiency and conviction rates.
Ah apologies then, your awareness is well beyond what I realized when posting.
And yeah that situation is definitely unfair in the larger picture. I have no law experience and no idea how to make it better. Happy to read from experts though.
Right, but at that point how can you still claim support?
Israeli apartheid isn’t some hypothetical or imaginary situation, it’s what’s actually happening. Obviously the forces that uphold that apartheid are going to make a stink if anyone they think might be listened to blames the Israeli government for its result. Israel isn’t able to keep up this behavior because it’s weak, but because it’s powerful.
Bowing and scraping to the corporate elite who vaguely threaten their futures when they’re prompted to put their money where their mouths are shows the reality of their politics. Yes, apartheid might be bad, but it’s not worth pointing out if it means the loss of a hypothetical job that doesn’t exist yet at a pro-apartheid company. That’s their level of support. Nil.
Everybody’s all enthusiastic when speaking up doesn’t cost anything. Tell me what they’re doing when the chips are down.
When Israel continues to uphold and even ramp up the kind of policies they have been, they’re going to bring the most violent extremes in the population they’re oppressing to the forefront. The Israeli government may not perpetrating the violence of Hamas with their own hands, but they are every bit as much a part of its coming about as those carrying out these acts. And their retaliation is every bit as gruesome and inhumane, as is the constant ongoing violence perpetrated against Palestinians.
At any rate, those who excuse genocide while falling all over themselves trying to please their corporate masters show their political priorities pretty plainly.
I don’t understand how people can excuse Israel’s systemic violence and condemn Palestinians in the same breath. I guess it’s okay to bomb hospitals as long as you do it with a plane?
Shockingly, I am not from the one place on earth where mass shootings are a common occurrence.
Also, what doxxing? this is a response to an article about Harvard students discovering that employers don’t appreciate employees critical of the system.

Glad to hear it. No joke. Your opinion makes slightly more sense given that added context.
Also, what doxxing?
Doxxing is leaking someone’s personal information, usually to paint a target on their back so they suffer some kind of repercussions for a perceived slight. You see, these college kids didn’t just get a threat of blacklisting, the Israeli lobby paid advertising trucks to drive around displaying their pictures and personal contact information. They could very well be killed.
The questions is, why was he on house arrest after the guilty verdict? I could understand house arrest during the trial, but after the verdict is rendered?
There’s still a lot that we don’t know about UAPs. All jokes aside, there are academic programs in place that study this phenomena. I, personally, interviewed one of these academics and you can read it here: reddit.com/…/sebastian_oehme_answers_questions_re…
Nonhuman biologics on Mars or Europa? Discovery of the century (assuming they weren’t accidentally ferried up by a rover). But Earth? You have to go to a great deal of trouble to create a space without nonhuman biologics.
From the photos, it was a very crudely taped iPhone to a toilet seat, maybe enough to fool a 9 year old, but clearly not to fool anyone with more critical thinking, like the 14 year old who reported it.
What you should worry about, are the well disguised hidden cameras installed by professionals...
