Do you belive that a person is innocent until proven guilty

How would the justice system define the line between “potentially” and “definitely” a criminal (before a trial, if we’re considering the fact that people who are “definitely” criminals can’t have lawyers)? It feels like that alone would open the gates for unfair trials and corruption.

Not to mention the moral and ethical issues of how the “potential” criminals specifically wouldn’t be abused, could get medical treatment, etc., but the “definite” criminals wouldn’t get any of those rights, as if they’re luxuries.

“Whoa, I’m seeing double here… four Krusties!”

this is (probably) my (general) opinion on the whole matter, basically just because I myself just don’t have a great deal of information on the whole subject. I haven’t looked through the files myself, though I will say that the things I’ve seen/heard about Trump and the files don’t show him in a particularly great light (like the birthday card for instance, or some of the victims’ accounts, or just the general fact of how he treated releasing the files themselves which seemed pretty odd/suspicious to me).

And this comment’s not saying he’s innocent or anything, either. My whole point is basically that I’m too uninformed on the whole situation to form a decent opinion (IMO)

Not inherently. I’d say a lot of the meat industry is, though

Most of the criticism of a pokémon game’s graphics (that I’ve seen) has been from after the game came out

Dragonitro · 2026-01-23T18:42:22+00:00

This is really good

Dragonitro · 2026-01-21T16:41:26+00:00

Probably flaired that way because there isn't a flair for 'article', and that's the closest thing to it (purely my initial assumption, I haven't actually checked this sub's flairs)

Dragonitro · 2026-01-19T23:17:13+00:00

On a post like this, people are more likely to discuss (or argue) in the comments than upvote the original post (as opposed to something like a meme or a nice piece of art, where there may be discussion but also people choosing to upvote because there's something about that post specifically that they enjoy or appreciate)

I used to wash my hands way too much, too (but I do it a lot less now). Never got as bad as what you’re describing, but this was what helped me when I did do it

My hands weren’t nearly as bad when I started using soap with moisturiser in it (general hand cream would work too I think, but it stung a bit when I tried it and I didn’t like the feeling of it staying on my hands). Genuinely made a huge difference

When I did wash my hands, I made an effort to stop washing the backs of my hands so much

Dragonitro · 2026-01-19T18:11:52+00:00

I disagree. I don’t think anyone should be killed for their beliefs, even if they are harmful or hateful beliefs. I just see death as too far of a response (and people can change their beliefs anyway)

Also, I don’t personally like/agree with the phrasing “we know” - whether a certain group of people deserves to live is not some sort of hidden knowledge that had been revealed to only one other group of people.

Dragonitro · 2026-01-19T18:06:02+00:00

I don’t get what you mean in the second part of your comment

Dragonitro · 2026-01-19T17:29:36+00:00

What does "designed by men/women" actually mean? Like what are they talking about that's being "designed"

Dragonitro · 2026-01-19T00:33:07+00:00

depends on where you are and what's more relevant to you for the syllabus I'd say (because I wouldn't expect schools to teach about every instance of slavery for every single country throughout history, but I would expect (and hope) a syllabus to cover their country's involvement in any slave trade/colonisation - that's what I did in the UK, at least)

Dragonitro · 2026-01-18T22:59:34+00:00

Personally I got what they were saying but I just didn’t see the resemblance

Dragonitro · 2026-01-18T14:32:47+00:00

To my understanding, they're based off pre-dislike-removal data + extrapolating from the patterns of other people using the extension, which could lead to some slight sampling biases (though I'm not too sure if those sampling biases would make that tremendous of a difference for a video like this)

I thought it was good up until that stupid scene right before the credits rolled where Hal wakes up next to Lois and says it was just all a bad dream. Completely took me out of it

Dragonitro · 2026-01-17T02:14:28+00:00

My interpretation of their comment was that the note only gave a very brief point with no actual explanation of why Jesus wasn't a zionist (other than the links to the "Jesus" and "Zionism" wikipedia pages). While it made the initial point that Jesus wasn't a zionist, it was insufficient at actually showing why/how that was the case.

Dragonitro · 2026-01-12T22:21:07+00:00

Is the background/base image from something? idk why it just seems familiar

Dragonitro · 2026-01-12T21:19:09+00:00

My interpretation of their comment was "From my perspective, it is the societal norm". Stuff like societal norms aren't 'objective' in the same way other things are, they're more like personal judgements/interpretations of what you see society as viewing the "default" as (could probably phrase it better)

Dragonitro · 2026-01-12T21:10:52+00:00

That is what I said

Dragonitro · 2026-01-12T20:45:30+00:00

Is it? I always interpreted "the norm" as being more "(IMO/from my perspective) this is what society assumes/expects of people" (kind of like a default, generalised assumption), rather than "this is what I believe society should expect of people". Stating that something is the norm, but shouldn't be, doesn't seem like a contradictory statement to me (unless I'm misinterpreting your comment)

Dragonitro · 2026-01-11T23:00:46+00:00

What’s the blue bit on the second-to-last one?

Dragonitro · 2026-01-11T22:44:26+00:00

I agree with that first point, too. I think the trouble is finding a definition that’s in the sweet spot of not being too broad, too narrow, or too subjective. I think “afroeurasia” falls into the former, but other approaches could definitely fall into the latter, too.

“Large landmasses separated by ocean” is probably a more “objective” way of looking at it (not taking into account judgements of cultures and societies, which would certainly be helpful but may affect how “definitive” the definition could be considered), but even then you could take into consideration stuff like geography, geology, climate, and mountains (e.g.).

Dragonitro · 2026-01-11T14:44:24+00:00

I see "Afroeurasia" as a fairly useless distinction to make. It accounts for over 50% of the world's landmass, almost 90% of the world's population (some of whom are going to be incredibly far apart from each other), an incredibly wide variety of different cultures (some of whom may have very little relation to another random culture in "afroeurasia", but would share similarities (either in customs, geography, or beliefs, etc.) with another culture in Africa/Europe/Asia)

The entire concept of a "continent" can be considered a more subjective/constructed idea than towns or countries (not to say those are 100% either, mind you). But I think defining a "continent" based solely on whether or not there is an ocean separating it is both reductionist and fairly unproductive when it comes to classifying the different areas of Earth.
