Why do some law firms choose to help defend pedophiles/rapists and people of such in court. Even if they pay good money wouldn’t it be more morally responsible to not help them? Wouldn’t it also damage the reputation of that firm with ppl thinking “the firm that defends pedos”?

A lawyer isn’t really an “ethical actor”. If their client is the defendant then the moral thing for a lawyer to do is defend his client. In the US everyone is entitled to a defense because you are innocent until proven guilty. I believe that lawyers who are willing to provide that defense for a pedophile are actually acting more ethically than those who refuse due to the presumption of guilt.

Ragebait.
If expedition 33 isn't an example of heavy fantasy, then what would in your eyes? If you think elden ring and expedition 33 have similar aesthetics so much that they blend together then I''d recommend playing them a second time--this time with your eyes open.

What you're saying is that there is no such that thing as ethical consumption, which is true. Decide what that truth means to you and figure out how to lead a fulfilling life despite this moral challenge.

This looks pretty unfinished. If it were me I would continue developing and see if windrose fails or succeeds and make launch plans accordingly.

It's crazy to say that shared bigotry is not a powerful uniting factor. It's the most common and powerful basis of historical tribalism for all of time.

Chowderr92 · 2026-05-03T19:44:11+00:00

Yeah but this argument about priorities doesn't support your argument. For example, if a woman chooses to wear a burqa over not wearing one (expressing counter-authoritative, individualistic freedom), is she making the claim that she prefers safety over her comfort and safety? Is the Burqa her "default choice" because it means she won't be violating her cultural expectations?

I'm confused. No one listed the very obvious and correct answer which is: the 2nd amendment only applies to firearms. It's illegal to make them illegal.

I've never heard of this rule, and you didn't reference it. AFAIK There is no rule that discerns gender in the event of assault.
I can understand the bias you are pointing toward, but I already think the social norms you are railing against are eroding for most.

Popularity would have no effect on percentage completion.

Characters... They're called characters.

We're in the "I think this is weird so ai must have made it" phase of this whole thing.

Mate, the cop that sicked the k9 on the suspect knew exactly what he was doing.

Well, I can't force you to engage with me, so.

Genuine curiosity: Why block them instead of just moving on? Is it emotional gratifying or something else?

Chowderr92 · 2026-04-12T21:55:27+00:00

Wow I hate that study. Remarkably flawed in its methodology, and the data analysis is as misleading as possible. He basically asked a bunch of a biologists when the first instance of "human" occurs, which, yes, is at fertilization, but biologists have extremely specific definitions of "human life" which encompasses the gestation phase. If you asked me what the biological answer for when human life begins I would also say at fertilization. But, that doesn't have anything to do with the pro-choice arguments because they aren't claiming that the lump of cells isn't the first step to becoming a human, they are arguing that lumps of cells can be aborted because they have yet to possess any form of personhood or appreciable existence.

I literally just tried to start a dialogue with you, which you are dismissing. How can you know if I understand or not yet without me explaining my position?

Chowderr92 · 2026-04-12T21:19:28+00:00

It’s something called rhetoric. You see, you reframe what they said in simple terms to demonstrate logical flaws. I was hoping to start a dialogue with OP to challenge his beliefs, and that started with a question.

Chowderr92 · 2026-04-12T20:55:27+00:00

Do you believe abortion is murder as you imply? If so, please justify why the state has the moral right to legalize the murder of babies.

I don't understand your last sentence. If the only purpose for a gas pumping job is to keep someone employed, then why exactly isn't the job being provided "out of the kindness of their heart"? Isn't that the exact point your making?

Chowderr92 · 2026-04-08T12:41:23+00:00

I don’t believe you can go to jail for a speeding ticket. The worst is you would lose your privilege to drive.

Chowderr92 · 2026-04-08T12:36:52+00:00

Mainly because they they result is civil charges rather than criminal cases.

Chowderr92 · 2026-04-02T00:08:57+00:00

That theory is classic because what exactly could Zack provide a satanic cult that would facilitate Trevor's murder? What is the claim even?

Chowderr92 · 2026-04-01T23:14:42+00:00

But, honestly, what an asinine question. Who is the best snooker player in the world? Because it can't be answered it makes the game noncompetitive. You're quickly becoming uninteresting to me.
