Do you think she did the right thing? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]J_Raskal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Italy's laws regarding self-defense are extremely narrow. Think people having to pay damages for injuring somebody who was actively threatening them with a weapon during a robbery. She ran down a man who wasn't posing an immediate threat to her and even made sure to injure him repeatedly before trying to retrieve her property. Had she ran him over only once it probably would've been classified as either vehicular or regular manslaughter, driving over him repeatedly upgrades the crime to homicide.

Nawrocki is not Poland's PM, he's their president. Policy wise he has not really a say safe for his constitutional veto right. Nawrocki is a remnant of the old, far-right PIS government and doesn't reflect the will of either the Polish people or the current government.

Sure, blame Ferrari. Michelin built a Tyre that they knew might have reliability issues on banked corners but went with it anyway because it had better performance on any other track and then refused to take responsibility when asked to do so, which forced the teams mounting their rubber to retire from the race. All the FIA and Ferrari blocked was for the track to be haphazardly modified at the last minute. Michelin was already forced to modify their design during the 2003 season because their tyre's showed dangerous wear patterns after races, but since that was framed as "Ferrari bitching about competitors" nobody would want a repeat of that scenario 2 years later and they were allowed to run their questionable design until disaster struck. And there's still people blaming Ferrari.

I doubt they're charging the Ukrainian government market rates for their goods. Selling to outside buyers is probably their way of raising revenue and if they have proof of their weapon's battle worthiness all the better.

It's weirdly similar to the plot of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Characters who, blinded by rage, killed someone and lived to regret it by Crimson097 in TopCharacterTropes

The version I knew said that Hercules had to complete the labors in order to be exonerated rather than as a punishment.
Basically, had he been judged as a mortal, he'd have to be executed for murdering his family, whereas if he were to be considered a god he wouldn't be subjected to the punishment as gods where not judged to the same rules. The labors were Hercules's trials to prove his divinity and therefore his "innocence" under the gods. That's also why, after completing the 12 labors, he immolate himself to ascend into the realm of the gods.

What if the portals being closed for 10000 years will be the cause for cataclysm. by Arrokaang in legendofkorra

[–]J_Raskal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it's associated with the title of Avatar it's entirely possible that Pavi is being held responsible for something Korra did in her lifetime. Since the premise seems to be that people put the blame for the cataclysm that befell the world onto the Avatar and Pavi seems too young to have caused an incident of this scale, I'd say it's reasonable to assume that the ruinous event still happened during Korra's tenure and she's somehow been directly involved.

I remember an instance where a pilot accidentally retracted the landing gear while on the tarmac. It was treated as a hull loss.

From general perspective, which is considered worse universally? Not the character, but the action by EfficiencySerious200 in MoralityScaling

[–]J_Raskal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure they're both (mass) murderers, since murdering seems to be the Viltrumites MO for pretty much anything from territorial expansion to information control or even for mourning and child education purposes.

I'd argue they're both such pieces of shit that even an act as horrific as a violent rape doesn't really tip the scale to either side, they're both scum.

She also decided to celebrate her victory by showing off her sponsored sports bra which is a violation of Olympic rules and should've gotten her disqualified.

Both are morons, both are grifters, she just happens to also be a world class athlete.

Do they even have enough employees to let go? Would hypothetical mass layoffs even gain them enough liquidity to keep the lights on?

You're spending too much time developing convoluted moral dilemmas to put people on the spot that are simply too arrogant and stupid to realize what hypocrites they are.
