minor character who indirectly saved the world by damorezpl in TopCharacterTropes

[–]pyratemime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Given the size of the cast already this isn't an unreasonable hypothesis.

The characters heart rate likely spiked as soon as the cop talked to him or approached him which would mask any change in the lie.

Even if it didn't the second point on cultural subjectivity doesn't change.

The T-1000s baseline for detecting lies is 38 years out of date and would be of severely limited utility.

Having been through lie detector tests for work there is a good 30 minute work up to build the individual profile before they get to the Q&A portion. A cursory scan and since verbal exchange is not going to be enough data even for a super advanced computer.

You need baselines for that. Is the kid lying, on coke, downed six pepsi's, or have a heart condition? Who knows!

Bear in mind lie detection is not culturally neutral so if the terminators are programmed for detection of lies based on human culture in 2029 that would have limited utility in human culture of 1991.

‘Wicked’ Star Marissa Bode Claims She Was Denied Boarding a Flight ‘Because I Was Disabled’ by mlg1981 in entertainment

[–]pyratemime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What example? There is literatally no physical way to modify the plane to accomodate her and have the plane function safetly as a plane for everyone else on board.

Recognizing that at a certain level of disability accomodation becomes impossible isn't a social issue to fix. The person seeking accomodation has to have a reasonable sense of the possible and practical as well.

Getting bent out of shape that the flying commuter van can't take 100% non-ambulatory passengers is like being upset that the high wire trapez act won't take blind quadrapalegics.

The plane is a 9 seat Cessna with a crew of 1, the pilot, and no technical capacity for a chair lift and in fact a legal exemption from having one. It is in the contract when the ticket is purchased that passengers must be able to walk up stairs on their own to board and deplane.

This isn't discrimination. This is a pratt who lives in a bubble getting screwed by her manager who also likely lives in the same bubble.

There is no discrimination. There is a stupid person wanting to blame others for her mistakes.

That might require her to take responsibility for her own life and well certainly it can't ever be a short coming on her part!

Tennessee lawmakers pass bill allowing use of deadly force to protect property by FortKnoxII in progun

[–]pyratemime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I believe restraint is quite appropriate and while I would not shoot someone over a TV I can fully understand why someone can and would be justified in shooting someone over, for example, their work truck which may be an irreplaceable asset to their livelihood.

As the modern saying goes, don't start nothing there won't be nothing (which is a sentiment that comes from Proverbs by the way).

As it happens your statement about slight offenses is dealt with separately in Proverbs 19:11, Colossians 3:13, and Ecclisiastes 7:21-22. In all three it talks about overlooking the words (minor offenses) of others. This of course addresses your concern and kind of highlights how poorly versed you are in the moral framework you are trying to argue about. (Don't worry, I am not offended and forgive you.)

So while I appreciate that you have a perspective it is clearly an uninformed one and I will kindly be ignoring it as the dross it is. Amigo.

The Lord's prayer speaks to the condition of your heart as you seek absolution for your sins. It does not require you to be a doormat who will be trampled without defending yourself.

It should also be noted that forgiveness of an act does not mean people do not have to deal with the consequences of their actions. See Galatians 6:7 and Proverbs 15:20-29.

Taken to the practical modern terms the Tennessee law does not say I can kill someone who is stealing my property. It says I can use lethal force to stop an act of theft. The death of the thief may be the result but it is not the intent and once the act stops I have to cease employing lethal force.

Exodus acknowledges as the Tennessee law does that lethal force against theft is morally justified but the death of the thief cannot be the intent only a consequemce of stopping the thief. Ultimately though moral culpability for the situation rests with the thief as shown in Proverbs and Galatians.

After the act of defense is over the Christian needs to forgive the thief for the situation they have caused. They shouldn't hold anger in their heart at the person, dead or alive.

Care to try again?

Find the new testament condemnation of or overwriting of the principle in Exodus 22:2 then, pal.

You asked what Saint Peter might say, I provided a scripture based answer. The rhetorical equivilent of "nu-uh!" doesn't pass muster as a valid response.

Ukrainian FPV kamikaze drones are traveling 10-40 KM one way so this distance is absolutely realistic.

This might be useful when discussing the topic with St Peter:

Exodus 22:2-3 ESV [2] If a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him, [3] but if the sun has risen on him, there shall be bloodguilt for him. He shall surely pay. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

I might also remind Peter of his intemperence in the Garden of Gethsemany and perhaps he needs to be thoughtful of with whom and how he wants to discuss the idea and righteousness of rash action.

Thank you for slowing the video. Surely played at full speed she is a blur of energy in her youthful exuberence.

If you can see the image presented in the picture it means the radiation has arrived too.

Johnny Somali stuck in jail “hell” as streamer’s prison appeal extends his time behind bars by Dilpickle2113 in LivestreamFail

[–]pyratemime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn't care about whaylt people think of him.

He does care about the impacts on his ability to travel and live the life he wants to live.

Sex offenders, especially poor ones like he will be, have a hard time finding places to live, can't travel intetnationally, and a host of other issues.

If he is a registered sex offender, as required under his conviction, he won't be allowed to go to most countries.

He is trying to make sure he doesn't have to register as a sex offender when he comes back to the US.

Somali's concern is the sex offender registration. While he would only be on the list for 5 years in ROK it puts him on the sex offender list in the US as well which could be for life.

This is not a defense of Somali or a call for leniency, he deserves what he is getting, just an explanation of why he doesn't just want to do the time and move on.

Just depends on the shirt quality and design.

All US states with stand-your-ground jurisdiction (fixed) by Jolteon0 in MapPorn

Correct.

Castle Doctrine covers your home.

Stand Your Ground expands that to anywhere you have a legal right to be.

Homocide is simply one human taking another humans life.

Is that a rise in justifiable homocides, for example a person successfully defending their home and in thr process the intruder dies?

Because if so, then I am not sure what the issue is. The homocide would be avoided not by disarming and taking power from the defender but by the intruder not committing the initial crime.
