has to stand up to scrutiny

But to what scrutiny, precisely? If a judge decides that certain specific problems with the evidence are inadmissible (including police misconduct and chain of custody issues), what other scrutiny could be given to the evidence?

Judges already have a lot of leeway over how they run trials even within the law, and we’re talking about a country that has removed even the pretence of rule of law in the past six months (more, if we go back to the Trump v United States ruling last year).

This is assuming that everything you’ve just described is permitted into evidence.

But a strike can’t bring back in someone who has been eliminated. You can use your strikes to whittle away people who have a property likely to be bad for you, but you can’t use it to include people with a quality that would be good for you.

The jury will be told that they have to find according to the letter of the law, and they’ll almost certainly be screened by the prosecution during jury selection to avoid people who know nullification is a thing.

It’s certainly possible that it could occur regardless, but they’ll do everything they can to avoid it.

lemon stealing whores …

Dare I ask for context?

My theory is that it’s because people who are into it must be really into it, but people who aren’t into it are very good at ignoring the fact that it’s titled like that or that there might be one or two throwaway lines implying it (especially when it’s “step”). So there’s an incentive for uploaders to title things like that and for creators to add a little nod in the video towards it (without adding too much incest roleplay) because it draws in a large audience and actively turns away very few.

For the non-Americans in the audience, what is White Claws?

😂

Ok that was clever, actually.

I’m confused. Are you suggesting that this is a bad or unnecessary law?

Wait, puppy play would get you banned? Isn’t that just, like, wearing funny ears and walking around on hands and knees or whatever? Maybe at most a tail buttplug? I don’t really get the appeal myself, but it seems pretty damn benign.

I can’t imagine buying a porn game on Steam. And even if I did, incest holds no interest to me.

Even so, I absolutely fucking hate this crap. Payment processors are killing off content despite the producers and consumers of the content being completely fine with it. This should be a Net Neutrality issue. But I’m not seeing anywhere near the same outrage over it that there was over ISPs doing the exact same thing.

Usually if you publicly declare you won’t do your job, you lose that job within the day.

Maybe she’s just an urbanist? !fuckcars@lemmy.world

More often than not I’ve seen these metal guard rails put between the road and the footpath, to be honest.

To be a little more precise, it’s not that Lemmy “defends Nazis”, it’s that some of the mods on lemmy.world (and possibly the admins of lemmy.world) take a ridiculously extreme view of the rules on not condoning violence. According to some of these mods, even saying “[blank] should be punched” is against the rules, no matter what the [blank] is.

It’s one of the reasons a lot of people recommend avoiding lemmy.world when possible, and sticking to more niche instances like sh.itjust.works, Blahaj, and the various national instances.

Place your granary, sire.

The only one I played as a kid was Stronghold Legends, the one based in Arthurian mythology. That game’s beefy 3D engine could just barely run on my computer at the time. It would take so long to start up that the loading screen music is burned into my brain even today, and in bigger games it would stutter quite badly.

Plenty of mods here on Lemmy who’ll do the same…

Mainly on your home instance, too.

So, I just finished writing a rather lengthy comment about why you’re so obviously wrong to say it’s not about Gaza.

But I did also add that there are other equally valid possible interpretations because it’s about applicability and metaphor, not direct allegory. Even so, I find your attempts here to compare it to China to be rather tenuous. The fact that the country produces “silk” and did a massacre is pretty much the only parallel. To me, the silk thing is more about adding to the obvious aesthetics of WWII French Resistance, with the silk thing tying in to France’s famous connection to high fashion. I’d say the fact that Tiananmen Square was crushing an internal resistance, while on Ghorman, as well as in both WWII France and in Gaza it’s outsiders seeking to invade and kill the locals, makes the Chinese connection especially weak.

They look pretty much the same in terms of skin tone. It’s not whites vs browns. They all just look Mediterranean

Who? Israel’s dominant sociopolitical group are Ashkenazi. They’re white. Pretending it’s Mediterraneans vs Mediterraneans is playing into the Israeli lie that Jewish people are the true native people in Canaan and everyone else is an outside invader. When in reality some Jews are native to the area, just as the Palestinians are. But certainly not the 20th century neocolonial supremacist state of Israel.
