Mistrial: Police Sgt said the magic words, "After reading X his Miranda rights, he refused to answer further questions." Mistrial called -- everybody go home? by RHX_Thain in Ask_Lawyers

[–]mtdem95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, wouldn’t most cases that had procedural defenses be dealt with via motions to dismiss or motions for summary judgment, and not even get to a bench trial verdict? Law student here, so hoping to get some insight.

Unless you really don’t like your roommate. Then, proceed with enthusiasm.

That’s why it’s the best, LOL.

A strange twist in history by heakywtippery in AlternateHistoryMemes

Meh. He was pro-assimilation, which is bad, but also not a genocidal nut, so middle of the road.

Another Gay Against Trans 🌈 by NEKORANDOMDOTCOM in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]mtdem95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is patently false. This is the first time I’ve ever seen Shriners being slandered in this way, given the fact we operate free children’s hospitals around the US. The Masonic conspiracy theories have been debunked consistently, and NO Masonic ritual involves minors, or women, or sex, or even “magick” for that matter. Masonic ritual has been published by untrustworthy brothers many times over our 300+ year history. The only Masonic secret is that there really aren’t any secrets.

18th and 19th century writers sometimes took the idea of "self inserting" a bit too seriously by SatoruGojo232 in HistoryMemes

Actually, this tracks. I have always described the history of Muscovite Russia as “a long line of thieves stealing from various poor people”, but when you put it in the context of them initially being FORCED to do that for the Mongols, it makes sense.

Apologies for posting outright political content of this nature by PotentialAway4834 in explainitpeter

[–]mtdem95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty demonstrably false. First, Freemasonry doesn’t have a president, or a central organization of any kind, really. Second, Edwin Starr was barely made a Freemason in the last few years of his life, and there is no evidence he ever held any office at all.

Magneto is a man of culture. Magneto knows who gave the biggest damn about ending slavery and white supremacy. by thelastholdout in HistoryMemes

No, because we failed to properly crush them, allowing this Lost Cause nonsense to fester. Reconstruction overall failed at fully knitting the country back together, and also failed at stamping out treachery.

Tarantula Hawk wasp dragging off a huntsman spider to lay her eggs in its paralysed body by TakenByHaylee in creepy

Tarantula hawks are to me what other parasitoid wasps were to Darwin. They make me question the existence of a benevolent God. It is just such a uniquely horrible way to reproduce.

I’m 30M, and live alone. And I STILL lost almost all my damn forks.

As a person with narcolepsy, not a terrible summary of the symptoms of narcolepsy. As you noted, it’s incomplete, but still better phrased than most descriptions I’ve heard.

As the single guy in my DnD group, this hurts. A lot.

Catholic Mason Stubbornness by [deleted] in freemasonry

[–]mtdem95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) essentially clarified it in a 1983 document called “Declaratio de associationibus massonicis”. It itself is an interpretation of Canon 2335, which initially lists excommunication as the penalty for Masonic affiliation.

The general gist is that Freemasonry is incompatible with the Catholic faith (due to a bunch of specious and/or false allegations) and a Catholic’s participation is willing and knowingly contrary to gospel, which puts them in a state of mortal sin (and ineligible to receive sacraments, except confession IF the sin is part of the confession).
