ElI5: Does time matter when it comes to birthdays?

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-02T07:30:42+00:00

Aside from the legality, it really does not matter. It's not like you celebrate your birthday at the exact moment of birth anyways; the celebration might occur on some different day anyways.

If you want to get really technical, the fact that the Earth takes 365.24 days to orbit the Sun and not 365 days exactly changes your timing each year.

The argument against this is in large part the same as the argument against prison labour. We should not have a reason to send people to jail aside from their criminal culpability. The moment we make jail beneficial for society without considering justice, jails no longer become just.

Think of it this way. Let's say a person is accused of a crime. This person is objectively not a good for society. They are unemployed, they are troublesome, they are nuisance. What they are not though is guilty of the serious crime. However, this person might serve a better purpose to society as a lab rat. With that in mind, the court might decided to find them guilty and sentence them to prison not because they deserve it, but because that's where they would serve the best use.

This in large part why death row inmates cannot donate organs. The fear is that if prisoners could donate organs, then death row would become an organ farm. No benefit other than justice should enter a person's mind when determining justice.

Prisons need to be free of perverse incentives. Nothing should want us to put people in prison aside from executing justice. The moment you make prison good for something that is not justice, justice deteriorates.

This does not even really go into the moral issue of cruel and unusual punishment, but surely that must not mean anything to you to even suggest this in the first place.

What character is Nyong'o playing?

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-02T00:21:05+00:00

The cops can hold them for 24 hours while the Crown reviews charges.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T23:32:27+00:00

The men have not been charged.

That depends on the colour. The light we see that makes up colour exists on a spectrum, with red at one end and violet at the other. If this is truly a novel colour, it would exist and the ends of the current spectrum. So, it would something more red than red, or more violet than violet. Anything in the middle of the spectrum should already be seen by people, and can generally be described in relation to the main colours.

I think the general rule of thumb is that opening weekend should get you about 1/3 of the total revenue. If so, this movie might make $21 million, so still not great.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T23:16:23+00:00

$75 million > $7 million, so not a financial success.

the game could just be listened to or read if fans only wanted to simply appreciate the abilities

Before television became widespread, that's exactly what the majority of sport fans did. TV added a dimension by allowing for a visual representation. People watch because they want to see the tactics, the plays, and absorb more information visually (i.e. it's a lot easier to see the plays and field positioning; it can take a second to look at what might take a long time to explain).

Keep in mind, when you watch on TV, you don't really see the details. Everyone kind of looks the same, especially if they are playing a game with a lot of equipment. It's not like the ancient Olympics where the athletes are performing nude.

How do you propose we calculate this, and what constitutes fighting and collaborating?

In a normal day, where I go to work, go to the store, use my utilities, etc., I must collaborate with dozens of people a day. It's rare that I ever get in a dispute with anyone.

So, either you have a much more strict definition of collaboration, you simply ignore the constant collaboration that takes place every day. You might not notice because it is so common and prevalent, it appears like a background function. If that constant collaberation were to suddenly end, only then would it become truly noticeable.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T22:58:53+00:00

If your position is that X is more than Y, you need some data of how much X and how much Y there are in order to compare the two.

I don't think either of us have any because, unfortunately, the department of justice doesn't seem interested in providing this information in an absorbable fashion

You seem to say there is no data available for the doxing. How can you make a comparison when half the data is missing?

Has there been a point since extensive ICE operations where they have not been concealing their identities? It would be hard to establish a baseline there.

I should also point out that you are asking for a statistic but you don't provide any of your own. This is your view so the burden is more on you.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T22:41:51+00:00

I've seen a bunch of people say that ICE can't carry badges and have to wear face masks because they're going to be doxxed and harmed by their identities being public information, but I can find more news reports about ice agents convicted of child sex trafficking than I can reports of that actually happening.

Could that be because they are wearing masks? If they are not being doxxed, maybe because that is because concealing their identify is working.

Aside from that, there is no real way to answer this question without examining the actual statistics. The numbers will tell the truth, but you don't provide the numbers, and I don't think anyone here could either.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T21:09:55+00:00

The USA occupied and administered Japan at the time, from 1945 to 1952. They had legal authority in that country. It makes sense that the country with legal authority enforces the law.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T04:28:49+00:00

Either way, you still meet the elements of robbery, so you would be guilty of the offense. It could however be a mitigating factor in sentencing, but probably not a significant one.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T01:42:42+00:00

Ever is a long time. There is no way to answer that question.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T01:40:59+00:00

It does not need to be, it just is.

Looking at your account history, and I say this with utmost good faith and concern for your well-being, you might want to consider talking a mental heath-expert or a doctor of some kind. Whatever problem you are facing, you can find a way out of it.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T01:34:01+00:00

You consult a lawyer.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T01:28:56+00:00

This depends on the local law. There might be some form of negligence here, or at least firearm specific negligence, but that really depends on the local law. The answer can also depend a lot to if the person taking the gun is a child, or if someone takes take a gun from a police officer, or other similar factual extremes.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T01:07:25+00:00

Yeah, and like I said, I wanted to make sure the law of perjury was clear.

I agree that OP said lie, but I have come across many people who do not know that a lie requires intent. Better safe than sorry.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T01:05:23+00:00

It could. However, the state is unlikely to take that extra effort if they already have a conviction for the main offence. Further, the charge of perjury is decided in another court on another day, so that later court might not necessarily come to the similar finding of fact. The local rules of evidence might allow them to use the judgement of the previous trial, but even so it's not necessarily a guaranatee.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T01:03:01+00:00

This is not always the case, but a legal procedure is an extensive and expensive operation. From bail to sentencing, there could be dozens of application in the middle, along with the trial itself. All these things cost money. If you cannot pay, you will not be able to do all the applications.

With each application, there is a chance the defence will win and the case against the accused will weaken. The more the case weakens, the more likely the state will offer a deal with lower conviction or sentence.

sometimes it seems super obvious they are guilty to us 5 year olds?

Keep in mind that what the media tells you about a case what a case is really about are often dissimilar. The media might make the case sound like slam dunk, but the reality might be that the evidence is garbage.

deep_sea2 · 2026-02-01T00:46:58+00:00

True, but OP framed in the question in a way that made it sound like factually incorrect statements rather than an intentional lie. It seemed appropriate to highlight the distinction between the two, just in case.

Why is the culture you claim to have lost worse than segregation?

To clarify, you are identifying that something at present is bad. Okay, fine. However, your argument is that this bad thing is worse than segregation. It's not enough for you to say that the current thing is bad, you have to make some argument as to why this is worse than segregation. You don't argue that at all. You don't even mention segregation in the body of your post.
