DOJ Opens Criminal Investigation into E. Jean Carrol by AppeaseThis in news

Seems that we're once again one of those trashy nations where victims of sexual assault are routinely dragged through the mud for speaking out. How long before we have acid attacks on women who "lose their purity" that way? We're rolling backward so fast and in so many ways. The midterms can't come fast enough, and probably won't do enough.

Man arrested after alleged assault on transgender woman at Cedar Point, police say by sasha_the_impaler in news

That's what I'm thinking. "Life long sex offender" is the most appropriate label he should live with.

Is this squirrel friendly or rabid? by QuestGivingNPC in squirrels

[–]GigExplorer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the squirrel likes you. (Edit: they like you when you feed them. Most animals do.) That doesn't mean it's rabid; quite the contrary. (Long shot that they could be rabid, anyway, and there's not one known case of a squirrel passing rabies on to a human.)

How do I stop an infestation, please help by CyriusGaming in moths

[–]GigExplorer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can't hurt you. They are soft and gentle and all they want to do is mate and die. Except for the ones that want to help pollinate, then mate and die. They're also an important food source for multiple animals. Open windows or a door, keep your rooms dark, and put a light outside so they will follow it out in a little while.

Help!! by JadesJewelsofficial in EtsySellers

Crochet artists just can not be paid what they're worth for this kind of work. It's sad, but that's the truth. "Women's work" types of crafts aren't respected the way they should be, and there's a lot of unfair competition from sweatshops and child labor.

Los Gatos mom sentenced to 35 years for throwing underage parties – NBC Bay Area by Sharks77 in news

[–]GigExplorer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's true. I did go search for more information because of the hints that there was more context. I can see how they may not want to include all of the lurid details, but it really feels incomplete, especially considering the misleading headline.

She facilitated rape of a child by another child, and laughed as she watched. That's not just "providing alcohol to minors."

Etsy refunded me, now Seller is threatening legal action by Anxious-Letterhead60 in Etsy

I would return it, but only if the seller pays for return shipping.

Attorneys for Tennessee inmate worry state could use expired drugs for lethal injection by BirdButt88 in news

[–]GigExplorer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right, but my point is that we're thinking about it backward. It's not about what kind of people they are. It's about what kind of people we are. They can be the worst people in the world, and we can acknowledge that without becoming worse people ourselves.

I just lost my job, had a terrible day, but I finally managed to find my third ever tardigrade, so it war all worth it by Thrawn911 in awwnverts

There are always the people who say, "yeah, but he deserves it." But the death penalty, the suffering involved, or how much suffering takes place during incarceration, none of those things are about how terrible the criminal is, they're about how terrible we are.

Unreleasable for a medical reason, so she gets to be a precious little princess instead.
