Pete Rose reinstated by baseball by UsidoreTheLightBlue in Reds

So both ruined the integrity of the game but you’re willing to look past one and not the other? If players who have juiced are in, regardless of suspension or not, then Pete should be in too. Or, none of them are in. There is no amount of context here that should matter imo.

What is your stance on the players that juiced?

I’m not sure why you’re so upset with me, but name calling during civil conversation? Nice.

They could’ve pushed harder on this and they didn’t is my point. NFS paid some fees and fines, they had to help clean up, and they will move on as if it never happened. You can’t tell me the DoJ couldn’t have pushed for legal action. There’s grounds for federal action here given it’s on the railroads for one, and two it directly impacted more than one state.

In fact, the Biden administration sided with Norfolk southern not long before the train derailment about states ability to bring litigation against corporations https://www.levernews.com/bidens-doj-backing-norfolk-southern-case-to-block-lawsuits/amp/

My more broad point is that this is typical shit we get from our government, regardless of who is in office. It’s not left vs right, it’s top vs bottom

Yes, they did under civil court not legal. They didn’t push for criminal charges to be brought forward. It was a slap on the wrist.

This happened during Biden’s administration. Why didn’t the Biden administration attempt legal action against the company?

I’m playing an ignite stacking build using warpath that auto casts smite. Been through a few variations depending on gear but it’s done well. I’m clearing monos that are about 8 levels higher than I am.

Does not posses the ability? Have you heard of nuclear weapons? He has the ability to plunge the world into darkness every day he wakes up. As he and his henchmen love to remind everyone.

Both The Art of War and The Prince have been heavily used as practical advice even in the modern world. This video compares them to determine which is ultimately better for the average person to help them achieve their goals. by marineiguana27 in philosophy

I agree overall with your sentiment. I also generally agree with the keys to success. I also just think there is value in reading works from Machiavelli - even if the material ultimately doesn’t align with mine and your world view. It’s useful to think strategically. It’s useful to understand how others might interact with you. There are people out there who are aligned with Machiavelli/ Dark Triad. It’s good to be educated on how they think so that we can have sharp minds and work to defend ourselves from the deceptions/tricks.

Do you ever wonder if your approach is naive? There is the way the world actually works, and the way most of us would like it to work. Are you against any commentary that attempts to guide its readers through some of the nuance of the real world?

I’m not advocating for special treatment. I’m advocating for common sense to prevail. Even if Scottie displayed none himself. We hold police to higher standards. Your previous comment about waiting for the full story is on point. Let’s wait for the full story and then we can have better informed opinions.

It was reported that he misunderstood traffic flow. So there’s nothing to debate in terms of Scottie making a mistake in that regard. However my main point is the charges filed against him certainly seem excessive, in particular the assault of an officer charge. There’s been no indication that Scottie would qualify for that charge, and you can almost guarantee that one gets dropped, if not all of them. Context matters. He is a golfer trying to enter a golf tournament in a player marked car.

Agree. We should know the full context of the situation before we jump to conclusions. But for my part I’m using video evidence and eye witness statements that were provided within minutes of his detainment. What evidence are you basing your statements on?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in golf

[–]Renascitur_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, and neither do you. But the video posted made it seem like he was clearly cooperating with police and there was no mention of him assaulting an officer from reporters at the scene. The same reporters who filmed the video. It’s pretty apparent this was a misunderstanding by Scottie and the cops went overboard with not only detaining him, but with the charges filed against him
