PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. Our own Aeronmelon is going through some shit at the moment and could use some help. Check it out here and consider an upvote or a comment to push it into activity. Sorry, not something I do often or will be spamming. But I care about my friend and if I can get a couple more eyes on his situation then I’m going to try to do what I can. (Last one I promise. Just twice. Not going to spam but dude is a big part of the Lemmy community, especially with Trek, and he deserves the help. And to the mods, if this doesn’t fit and you want to remove? Go for it. I completely understand it and I am sorry)
Edit: Oh wait I’m the mod here. Well, I say it is fine
That does not invalidate the point made in the post though. They’re two different discussions.
[off topic?]
Crime writer Karin slaughter is very familiar with the criminal justice system.
In one of her novels, a character points out that pedophiles are endangered in prison by the other inmates. This isn’t because most prisoners are moral and hate people who prey on the weak; it’s because many of the prisoners were sexually abused in childhood and want payback.
