Have you ever heard the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

In this thread: people who don’t understand what power is.
Cool, but don’t try to make the legal argument that the Constitution says so and so when it doesn’t. It’s a giant waste of time and money.
I mean…it doesn’t
Who thinks it does? What a silly idea
Exactly. I’ve been playing Bethesda games for ages, news like this makes me happy they’re keeping the stuff that works.
Because - and this is the only real answer you’ll get - Starfield is “cool” and “normies” are looking forward to it. Therefore, the “real gamers” must hate it, ESPECIALLY before actually playing it.
Same shit you see in any niche community. Buncha nerds hating on anything too big or popular.
Hey look everyone, we found someone who knows him personally and intimately!
Tell us more!
I heard - purely rumors - that he had been subject to tons of racism from the South Koreans and finally snapped one day.
Or more accurately, the military wouldn’t want you if you are too smart.
You’re mixed up, that’s US police, not US military.
It’s the half you probably don’t want to be on anyway. Automated censorship is shitty.
That’s why it’s so juicy, they’re all such terrible people we don’t have to pick sides
MintPress News (MPN) is an American far-left[1] news website founded and edited by Mnar Adley (née Muhawesh) which was launched in January 2012[2] and also publishes the MintCast podcast. It covers political, economic, foreign affairs and environmental issues. Editorially, MintPress News supports Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and the governments of Russia, Iran, and Syria.[3][4] It opposes the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia,[5] and reports geopolitical events from an anti-Western perspective.[6] In one contentious article, MintPress News falsely asserted that the Ghouta chemical attack in Syria was perpetrated by rebel groups rather than by the Syrian government.[4]
Tankie propaganda. Ignore.
Does the presumption of innocence still apply even if the crime has already been confirmed to have happened?
Yes. The crime (and the criminal) legally hasn’t been “confirmed”. The point of a trial is to “confirm” it.
For example, there’s probably at least 50 million people who believe no crime occurred.
They’re WRONG, of course, but the point of the trial is to prove them wrong.
There’s no such thing as pleading innocent. The court will either find you guilty or not guilty. The court will not, and in fact cannot, find you innocent. Only not guilty. Or in most cases, “not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt”.
Everyone pleads “not guilty” the first go around, even clearly guilty people, even people who plan to plead guilty.
You can always change a “not guilty” plea to “guilty” (ie, plea deal, etc). It gives your lawyers more time to get a handle on the case, get paperwork together, work with the prosecutors, etc.
Great, but that’s not why they were banned. I was talking about the US though, where a great many jurisdictions are totally banning vapes, or banning all flavored vape juice, due to this hysteria.
Nicotine addiction is not a PROBLEM though, no more than caffeine addiction. The problem is when the only legal way to get caffeine is by a cocktail of red bull and arsenic.
Nicotine is not the issue. The delivery method is the whole problem.
Sounds perfectly fair.
It’s the basis of law and order. You can’t just do whatever you want, that’s a dictatorship.
