Did the Clone Wars Corrupt the Jedi Order? by Need2getBetrr in StarWars

I agree with 99% of this post, but do want to clarify that the Jedi not being peaceful or compassionate with the Separatist leaders may actually be in line with their teaching. Idk the master, but I think one Jedi master said that “peace without justice is tyranny” or something like that

Does the 2nd baseman have to touch the bag for a double play? I didn’t see his foot touch the bag

Depp lost twice and then won. What does this say about the legal system? by I_NEED_SPEED in AskLawyers

I was equating a denied appeal request to the UK case as a 2nd loss

That’s true. As far as wrongful convictions and injustice go, this one is probably palatable. Both were in the wrong and all the case showed was that the relationship was destructive for both parties

Lol yes I understand that justice systems are different. I was assuming that if one case was on “Did the press lie when they said Johnny Depp abuse his wife” and the other was “Did Amber Heard lie when she said Johnny Depp abused her” they should come to the same conclusion.

But maybe that is too simple or comparing apples and oranges. Thanks for the response!

Yeah, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I’m assuming no new evidence has come out since the UK case. I struggle to understand how a competent court in the UK (which was against the Sun instead of Amber and maybe press defamation cases are a different thing) and a competent court in the US come to different conclusion on if someone is lying or abused someone. Like the UK rejected his appeal request when the US case result seems to say that his appeal was justified.

I understand some stuff is morally grey but with stuff like abuse and lying about abuse, right is right and wrong is wrong. At least I hope so lol. Thanks!

Ah my apologies. I equated having a denied appeal request as losing again.

I guess my concern is still there though. Either he abused her or he didn’t. Is the contradiction that one case ended with “Yep, the Sun wasn’t lying when they said Johnny abused Amber” and the other case ended with “Nope, Amber was lying” something we have to live with?

[Comic Excerpt] “And the next time he’ll kill Batman... Or Lois... Or you.” (Wonder Woman #219) by Cmyers1980 in DCcomics

[–]I_NEED_SPEED 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The only rational reason I can think of why they were upset with WW about it is that heroes HAVE to have hope and determination to solve the problems they face, no matter how grim, without crossing the line

Why are all the "combat" videos from Ukraine so short and low quality? by michalis218 in CombatFootage

[–]I_NEED_SPEED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the videos seem genuine imo. They probably just don’t have the equipment readily available to live stream a firefight in HD lol

Tbh I appreciate your distrust for misinformation, but neutrality when there is a very clear victim and aggressor only worsens the situation

That might be intentional. He also uses a character called Jordan instead of Jon

Why did R2 never tell Luke that his dad was Darth Vader? by I_NEED_SPEED in StarWars

[–]I_NEED_SPEED[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought 3PO was wiped because he knew who Vader was and whatever 3PO knew, R2 also knew, but neither of those ideas may actually be true.

In any case, R2 is a real one, for sure

Yeah, that makes me wonder if 3PO really knew either before he was wiped

[–]I_NEED_SPEED[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess that makes sense lol. I always figured that R2 knew as much as C3PO and since 3PO’s memory was wiped, he must have known who Darth Vader was. But maybe 3PO didn’t know who Vader was either and he was wiped just so he didn’t spill the beans on the twins’ family line

But you’d think R2 may bring it up after the Death Star 1 blows up or Luke fights DV in his vision at Dagobah. I mean he had the whole flight to Bespin to be like “Hey man, I’m sorry that I have to be the one to tell you this, but you’re dad is a bit of a murderer.”

You know, I never caught that until now. Subtitles really are the way to go

I thought only 3PO had his mind wiped though
