We just need to bring equal awareness to the term DARVO

if the founders had sold the company to its employees and made it a co-op!

So perform magic? Do you know how the company transferred ownership?

I very much remember this being an issue a couple years ago

It'd be like them finally getting doctors to make laws around medical shit but they just pick the ceos from big pharma

People kinda suck. I've never met a dog I didn't like. (this is slight sarcasm)

“As I explained in the book, it wasn’t easy,” she said on X. “But often the easy way isn’t the right way.”

Excuse me? You're trying to convince me that training aggressive behavior out of a dog is the easy way and you chose the high road by killing it??

It isn't though.

the president could not be prosecuted unless he is first impeached and removed from office by Congress

How convenient for Republicans who said "don't bother with impeachment, just try him as a criminal in 2 weeks"

First of all well done at posting an unpopular opinion. Are you aware how much you've contradicted yourself?

If lawyers are scrubbing Lemmy posts for jury selection I'm sure they will find more reasons than "this dude might pull jury nullification."

Lazy Susan?

"Science Made Stupid" the title is in the top right

Reminds me of The Los Angeles Angels. Or The The Angels Angels.

And murder is the intentional killing of a human being.

I looked it up and every definition website includes that it has to be illegal to be considered murder. By your definition every instance of self-defense is murder.

Why would the crime committed have any bearing on whether the defendant should be tried as a minor or adult?

Because our legal system is set up to stroke justice boners and not to rehabilitate criminals.

If that were the case, the opposite should be possible too, like an adult that commits a crime so dumb or so poorly that they should be tried as a juvenile.

That'd be an insanity plea.

The distinction is (or should be) about the mental capacity of the perpetrator. Prosecutors just love to do it so they appear to be "tough on crime" for the next election.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Personally I'm not a big fan of children being tried as adults in general but that's not really relevant I just don't want it to seem like I'm defending that. Being tried as an adult doesn't mean "this child has the mental capacity of an adult and should be treated as such," it's about the crimes he committed. If he was emancipated I could see your argument being a defense for the parents but he wasn't.

Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?

Don't buy gas from places that do this. Hasn't failed me yet and if more people did it maybe they'll stop.

People lock their door when lock picks and axes exist. Making criminals work harder to access your belongings is pretty important in a lot of aspects.

That's typically how cause and effect work. How astute of you.

Not trying to change your mind but if the general public has internet it's definitely just intranet. There's no way they're getting anything close to what we would recognize as the internet. Maybe I'm buying propaganda but I just can't fathom the possibility.
