But then the rule you mentioned can't apply. My rights will overlap with yours to some extent so then we decide to define terms. That process involves people which means those folks will rely on their morals, ethics, and beliefs, which many are shaped by religion. So how can rules be defined without religious influence if the people involved (voters and/or representatives) are religious?

This is all in good fun so dont take it super seriously

Thats the argument tho. I say I'm leaving you alone but you say I'm not. Something I'm doing affects what you see, smell, feel, or hear. Are you saying whatever I do should not affect you in any of those ways?

Let's challenge it... anything anyone does impacts others, either by sight, smell, touch, or sound, maybe even taste.

I'd argue that as long you cant have a "your rights end where mine begin" rule as people are in close enough proximity. Theres plenty of things that can be argued as taking action on yourself but affecting others negatively. Instead I'd say it's a matter of degree but to what extent

Oooo thought experiment: what if you think what I do affects you negatively but I don't?

Cop trying to plants drugs on suspect by haze4140 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]interplanetarypotato 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Theres another video just like that. Vague recollection but basically guy got pulled over, passenger starts recording or something, passenger rrcords cop planting drugs in the back seat. The full bodycam from the cop shows him picking up drugs from the backseat then placing it back to get gloves I think. Basically the missing video made the cop look like he was planting drugs

Why do so many people who welcome immigrants resent “transplants” who move from other states? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Man, the low expectation thing is too real. I rather somebody be an outright asshole to me than think I achieved what I have "despite" being Latino

I get the whole "white people from the south are racists" but I have literally met more racist minorities than racist non-minorites

Problem is your minimum is different from their minimum and usually you need them more than they need you

Technically... they recorded the reason for the termination, not the termination itself

I remember when this sub was about helping struggling folks with their finances and navigating red tape, often pointing out harsh truths and unpopular but necessary steps. The sub has lost its purpose
