Pretty much everywhere was founded on colonial genocide...
It's just how recent it happened.
Like, you're giving America shit for what the English, Spanish, and other countries did before America even existed. But it's hard to really blame even the English. It was the English people doing it, it was their royalty who were French.
For the vast amount of human history, some random group you may never have even heard about could just roll up and conquer you and take all your shit.
In general, any multimillionaire that gets off of a serious charge doesn't mean they're innocent.
It just another example of having ridiculous amounts of money in our legal system means it's really hard to be hel accountable.
Hell, trump got off of beating and raping his wife, because of an old ass New York law that said a husband can't rape his wife under any circumstance.
People can be upset at wealth inequality and the raise of fascism...
It's not even that unique of a combo, pretty much everyone I know is pissed at both situations.
Why do you think someone can only care about one?
Lupe something.
And he wasnt convicted, but was going to. The state had a "medical expert" show up and testify that there was no way an adult woman could look like that. Just 100% sure of himself and smug as fuck about it.
Then the defense called the pornstar to the stand and she was in her late 20s or something and working in the industry for over a decade.
It was something that never should have made it to trial, and gets used a lot as an example for how shit expert testimony can be. The prosecution doesn't try to find the person who knows the most, they find whoever can do the best job of convincing a jury that the prosecution is right. So the people who do it (some are professional "expert witnesses") are just the most overconfident people. Even if they're not sure, they play it up that there can't be any doubt.
It happened at least a week ago and the user was banned at the same time
OP is just reposting after the issue was already fixed.
He was just mad they were making money instead of him...
Everyone knew as soon as he started saying "pump the brakes" he just wanted a chance to catch up
Back in the day streets were for people...
Horses were slow and wouldn't run over someone, so it's less like driving down an empty street and more like driving through a children's playground
Especially with vote bots.
It's going to be mostly bots voting against each other
Lemmy is better on web than kbin.
But kbin lets you block entire instances as a user, which is worth the tradeoff for me.
There was a couple instances I just didn't want to see and blocking them by community was like whack a mole
Yep.
Never criticizing your own party is how the republican party became what they are today.
We might not be able to change that, but we can try to prevent it from happening to the only other option in general elections.
His first two years were held hostage by Manchin and Sinema
Yeah, but during the Georgia runoffs, Biden and party leaders kept encouraging people across the country to donate by saying "50 is enough to pass the party platform".
So either they had no idea Sinema or Manchin would obstruct, or they knew it and lied to voters.
So trying to blame those two now makes the party look inept at best
Nah, continuing a task while trying to process something like this is something the vast majority of humans would do.
I remember a common repost on reddit. A female reporter in the 60s asked businessmen on the street about sexual harassment and if it was ok to touch their secretaries. The ones that would say it was ok shed start sexually harassing them and they had no fucking clue what to do.
They reacted the same way, trying to continue the interview but obviously uncomfortable (even tho they had just been flirting with the attractive reporter).
I'm a guy (a pretty big guy at that) and I've had women grope me out of nowhere during my bar days. It's a mindfuck, and you just kind of go on autopilot while you try to rationalize what's happening.
The woman's reaction in this video is completely normal.
