Sexual assault and related crimes are already difficult to prove due to lack of evidence, victim's trauma, arguments around consent, etc. This is made even harder when considering many rapists are better connected and richer than their victims, they can afford better lawyers and can drag cases out.
So in the case of a legitimate crime, a rapist can get be declared not guilty because of the aforementioned reasons. The people in here who want to punish false accusers will now be enabling the criminal to then go after the victim and force them to have to defend themselves and relive their own rape in court again due to some misguided belief about justice.

Apparently not hanging the accused on the weight of an accusation alone is a "misguided belief about justice". People like you generally operate under the assumption that "if he was accused, even if this particular event didn't happen he probably did it before and never got reported".

Neither of the accusers I discussed in #56 were criminally charged in any way; the one at Walmart was fired but no legal action was ever taken. The second one didn't even get that. Apparently you're fine with that, but the rest of us are not.

Proving malice is too far, because motivation is nearly impossible. Proving the accusation fictitious is a reasonable standard to set. That isn't the accuser not being able to prove the accusation true, but the accused being able to prove that the alleged event did not and could not have happened.

Two cases I'm personally familiar with: one was a guy accused of assaulting a woman in a Walmart break room. The entire incident was recorded on security cameras from multiple angles and did not in any way resemble the attack she alleged. The second was a guy being accused by his ex of constantly harassing, stalking, and assaulting her. He'd been accused so many times, each time with absolutely no proof, that he requested the police put an ankle monitor on him so he could prove where he was when the inevitable next accusation took place. Within a week she's accused him of raping her while his monitor and other evidence proved he'd been more than a hundred miles away.

What you really learn when you get into junctioning is that ff 8 is actually a card game wrapped around a jrpg. You need to be able to win and game the system so that just the regular rules appear and not the BS rules; the AI already cheats you don't want to give them any more advantage

I never had much problem with it and quite liked the odd rules, even Random.

That's a whole new level of fucked up.

As long as they're paying for the set as well as me getting $650, sure. Will I spend my own money to buy the set first? No.

Ofc. Just reset, start anew, and keep your posts protected.

They still see no problem with creating a list aimed to harass people.

They still think that they just did some mistake, but are still 99% in the right, so they can go on like usuall.

Of course, because she thinks she is the victim here.

It was already their business to spy on you. Now it's just made law for us to give it to them.

That and it puts a really fucking big wall in front of any competitor that would ever want to challenge them.

Getting rid of freedoms to secure our social media and online services from Russia,China worth it or not the propaganda is killing America

I guess it's time to update my usual take on this sort of law: Would you still support it if you knew that Marjorie Taylor Greene would be in charge of implementing it?

My previous take was Dick Cheney being in charge of it, but that was nearly a generation ago. Damn, time flies.

I am not sure. But they may actually have to demand ID from US citizens. I heard some people claim this could impact the entire world because a lot of the major sites are all in America

Almost all major media sites are based in either the US or China. China because they want this shit, and the US because we (didn't) have it.

The closer your hue selection gets to Blue/Violet, the more Photon Energy is in the WaveLength.

Red is the weakest one

It's more to do with human perception than actual photon energy, but yes the same number of lumens in blue light is perceived to be about 40% brighter than redder light.

There's a reason why we use red lights to preserve night vision.

The cost of childcare is more than rent in some places.

And mathematically has to be. Each worker can only take care of a certain number of children - varies by age but say 6 as an average - so for those workers to earn a reasonable wage the daycare has to charge enough per child to pay the workers with the proceeds from 4 children, with the other 2 children paying for overhead.

I don't really know what the solution is. It's a systemic part of social media at this point that has completely pervaded almost all types of discourse. A part of me wonders if young people enjoy stuff like TikTok so much because they have an easier time just getting positive viral video clips and not just dramatic hot takes.

Really no different than Romans cheering as Christians were eaten by lions.

It might be hard to find someone to do your nails, but if you DO FUCKING NAILS for a living, then you can command a higher rate.

I don't see how less workers is bad for the workers at all. It makes us more valuable as a commodity.

This has happened at least once before in human history. You may have even heard of it: the Black Death. It turns out for it to be better for the (remaining) workers it requires about half the work force to die off.

Because incels intentionally use "the females" as a derogatory term, so your argument is pointless unless there is a sizeable amount of people saying "the males" in a similar fashion.

The same population use "the males", only they'll add modifiers such as "beta" to it.

Even if he's right, it's on queue for willy to get involved the moment the owner class is criticized.

Interesting that there's an even split between both "jan 6 but worse" and "jan 6 but not as bad" options, both far outstripping the "jan 6, again" option

Personally I think it'll be jan 6 but not as bad, a ton of those fuckos are doing hard time currently and others have taken notice. What was that other riot that was supposed to happen but didn't because they feared the same sort of prosecution jan 6ers received?

I expect there to be large, highly visible national guard presences at the sorts of events that could result in another January 6th. Prosecution will be the least of their worries.

Tl;DW: Some numbskull left the physical safety lockout on the landing lidar system enabled. The flight team was able to kludge together an improvised lidar feed from one of the secondary payloads and integrate it into the lander's computer system in two hours, but the lander hit with too much lateral velocity and tipped over on its side.

I agree, they could do an incredibly compelling story about the women who acted as spies, communications, medical, resistance, etc...

If they made a movie about all female frontline commandos in WW2... obviously that would be to either do a weird history subversion like "Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" or they would do it to piss off conservatives for all the publicity it's worth.

I mean ultimately do I think an attempt at a serious WW2 movie about conscripted female ground troops would make a good movie? No... would I watch it? Probably not... Will I get super upset and scream that it's part of an attack on my conservative, Christian, masulinity? ...lol no.

I think the bigger issue would be the ALL-female part. Could someone do a good movie about the ghost witches? Absolutely. Would it work with an all female cast? Absolutely not.

I remember it being pretty meh but that was at least 10 years ago.

More likely he's one of those wheat farmers dependent on water from those reservoirs and removing the dams will bankrupt his hundred year old family farm.

Surely no one here has anything against this, right?

Deliberately sabotaging 40% of the country's wheat production sounds like a bad idea.

For international competition they take out the home country's judge I believe. Or it might be the judge of the country the athlete is from. Something like that. I don't think anyone's watching gymnastics for the judges tho. -_-

They discard the highest and lowest score, then average the rest.

That's extremely smart if true. Not saying I don't believe it. But much better that trying to communicate that in real time.

Trying to land a rocket by remote control with nearly 3 seconds of lag sounds like a recipe for failure. Apollo 11 would have crashed as well if it had followed the automated landing sequence because it was heading straight for a boulder.

Besides the conversion issues already said, dont forget the companies that own hundreds of these properties need to hoard them so they increase in value. Thats more important than giving people a roof over their heads. We need to consider corporate needs for a change.

The thing is - and those same corporate owners are even more aware of this than you are - is that those properties will not increase in value, at least not on any reasonable time scale. The next five years of commercial real estate is going to look like the 2008 crash did for houses, with many owners underwater on their loans and simply walking away, allowing banks to foreclose on buildings worth far less than the mortgages on them.

Not just brighter but bluer. Even at the same brightness, blue lights hurts other people's night vision more than redder light.

This is actually a misconception. The majority of office space in most major cities are not suitable as residential living space. Many of these have to fully gutted in order to convert them back as residential apartments.

Also, many of these commercial districts don't have enough facilities to deal with actual residents. We would need to put in more supermarkets, hospitals, medical facilities, transportation, etc., etc., etc.
