Mainly I pay a lot of taxes to cover the settlements from the inevitable lawsuits these kinds of incidents cause.

Looking at the video I’m not seeing the ‘put herself in harms way’ part other than in the ‘you put your face in front of my fist’ sense

The only people who can do anything about this are either actively involved or allied with these groups, so no real surprise it sank.

> Would a reasonable jury determine this to be Attempted Second-degree Murder?

No, because it’s a law enforcement officer doing it.

Not sure what you’re talking about, most of the real criticism of EA came in the wake of SBF and that was across the political spectrum; if you look at the ‘Debate’ section of the Wikipedia entry the critics and their positions are very grounded. David Brooks is not a ‘literal extremist.’

Look up ‘earning to give’ and think about the implications of that when a few thousand worth of mosquito nets buys a human life.

A big part of EA is earning to give, i.e. making the big bucks at Torture Nexus, Inc. so you can buy more mosquito nets than you could as an EMT or whatever. It’s not hard to see how this can excuse some pretty terrible behavior, especially if you never actually get around to the buying mosquito nets part.

The case centers around a road rage incident in which the defendant claims to have shot the victim in self-defense, with contradicting eyewitness testimony and prior issues in the trial over texts which indicated the victim had severe anger issues and was suicidal.

Gen Z men are having less sex than ever, so not sure this is making the kind of point you think it is

Redpill is ‘working’ as it always has, as an obvious red flag

We had two amendments to the constitution about exactly that lmao. Alcohol is highly regulated.

“Very little of the economy belongs to people who are ‘born wealthy.’ They’re actually just born into wealthy, connected families.”

Have you ever ridden an Uber? Then yes, they absolutely can. You agreed to it when you installed the app.

When I saw Ratsphere types pushing these kinds of markets years ago getting insider information was the primary selling point.

It’s not inherently stupid - I’d much rather that some lowly analyst sell out an impending stock hit for a few grand than well-positioned insiders soak the market for 10,000x that. There’s obvious moral hazards, though.

‘It’s different today.’ Buddy, the Me Decade was 50 years ago.

If you go far into the user you’re replying to’s post history, you’ll find them unambiguously referring to the Jan 6 crowd as terrorists. They are very aware.

I know there’s a pretty strong norm against dragging people for their posting history here, but that’s in service of maximizing light vs. heat and I feel like pretending to be ignorant of recent events in order to relitigate something unrelated in the comments is wholly unproductive.
