  • There are plenty of reasons to make up a story.

    Like being targeted for harassment and possibly get murdered? This is not a typical rape accusation, it is made against someone who has been carrying out extra-judicial murders abroad.

    And I bet she took great effort to gather evidence

    This is classic rape apologetics. It is not the victim's job to collect evidence while they are distressed, that's the job of the investigators.

  • There's another report in the files where a woman did report her rape to the police and she was later found dead with her "head blown off". Under a functional justice system that would be thoroughly investigated, under our system it was quickly ruled a suicide because she took "bad cocaine".

    These papers are being released because our justice system did not protect these victims. It is up to the public to ask questions and we need not presume innocence of the powerful as they failed to protect the vulnerable.

  • I mean chattel slavery requires rape at some point and the vast majority of the Founding Fathers were slave owners....

  • Not true, there are dozens of people who changed their mind, dozens!

  • Ehh, we don't know because where is that 20 minute conversation she had with a detective documented? Also, if the intention was to harm Trump's image or whatnot, wouldn't a media circus be where to go with the story?

  • But maybe if I use AI I can be wealthy. Sure it is accelerating climate change and will undoubtedly cost lives, but that is a small price to pay for me to horde money like a dragon.

  • I'm skeptical they could do it in a way that meaningfully inherits stability from Linux. Imagine bolting on their service control on top of systemd or map their registry system to /etc. They either bring all the bad over to Linux or write something that doesn't support the windows ecosystem.

  • "We need to suspend the law to save the law order few privileges I have left"

  • She didn't even use the Bible as a source - did not mention a single verse. She basically using herself as the sole source because there are 0 citations.

  • She didn't even quote the Bible, just asserted that her interpretation is the right one without mentioning a single verse.

  • Oh I didn't mean that I am a contrarian, obviously we are the exception 😉

  • More like Jesus became a big problem for people with power and was made to suffer for it. Bonhoeffer was not saying that we should conceal our suffering in a way that it isn't a problem for others. This was is in a larger essay about how people cope with Nazism at the time, very clear-headed but was calling out those who did little because they didn't want to suffer and how we judged harshly those who lost everything.

  • I prefer Bonhoeffer's take: we should judge people less by what they have or do and more by what they are made to suffer.

  • Lots of people on the internet are competing for who is the most contrarian.

  • Didn't see that in the article, is there a link you can share?

  • I'm going to call a spade a spade.

    In the same spirit, Americans are more interested in telling themselves they are right than recognizing what is good.

  • If you don't like the competition then don't participate in said competition. Other people don't agree with you that it is an arbitrary rule and that's okay.

  • So you would say a godot competition is silly because it restricts developers from using other game engines? Now you're just being silly.

  • People say the same of giving people a living wage. If we can't do good things because bad actors will take advantage of it, the solution is not to stop doing good things but to punish the bad actors.
