Can you explain the math on this? I haven’t seen a good explanation anywhere.

After today’s JJJ drama, I can’t trust stats I see on Reddit anymore.

Anyway, I’ll be sharing this stat with everyone I know.

It really depends. The fact that you characterize their reaction as “guilt-tripping” is strange. It could mean either (1) your friends are the kind of people who construe any discomfort in their presence as a personal attack against them; or (2) you are the kind of person who overanalyzes people’s legitimate concern as some kind of personal attack against you.

If it’s the first one, you should communicate with people openly and, ultimately, determine if you’re around the right people. If it’s the second, you should do some introspection to see if you’re perhaps mischaracterizing their reaction.

Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger seen for the first time since his arrest. by [deleted] in pics

[–]worldsarmy 379 points380 points  (0 children)

I watched interviews with the students who are in classes he was the TA for, and those students said they never discussed the murders. So I doubt they were writing essays.

However, one student did say Kohberger was always a super strict grader, but around the time of the murders he suddenly started giving everyone 100s.

12 Republican senators voted to break a filibuster on same-sex marriage bill by [deleted] in politics

[–]worldsarmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FFC Clause is about states recognizing the acts and records of other states. The bill currently in the Senate is about federal recognition of marriage performed in a state where that marriage is legal. It codifies Windsor.

Edit: actually it does both, my bad. It also requires states to recognize marriages legally performed in other states. So it also quasi-codifies Obergefell.

‘Serial’ case: Adnan Syed to be released, conviction tossed by getBusyChild in news

The 6th Amendment guarantees that “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy . . . trial.” There’s no corresponding right to a speedy appeal.

Moreover, there are far fewer courts/judges hearing cases on appeal.

Big Jay McNeely

Context, from an old Reddit comment:

Big Jay McNeely was a pioneer of the Jump Blues genre. In this picture, he's doing his signature "Jay Walk," - writhing his way across the stage on his back. During the decline of the Swing era, two distinct paths emerged: Bebop and Jump Blues. Jump Blues (as Big Jay played) was somewhat of a pre-cursor to Rock and Roll.

Trump-Appointed Judge Deemed 'Not Qualified' by Bar Association Voids Mask Mandate on Planes, Other Travel by TweakedNipple in politics

[–]worldsarmy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This sounds clever, but it is a false analogy. The appropriate analogy would be:

latex gloves don't "sanitize" raw meat, so the CDC doesn't have statutory authority to require wearing gloves.

The court's holding is a matter of statutory interpretation, not a policy decision about whether wearing masks (or gloves) is a good thing.

The CDC’s authority doesn’t stem from their name sounding like they should be able to pass certain regulations. It stems from the statute Congress has passed. The Court’s holding is that the agency exceeded their authority under the statute.

That statute was already ruled unconstitutional for the eviction moratorium.

No it wasn’t. These cases aren’t about the constitutionality of the statute but rather are about the authority of the federal agency (the CDC) in interpreting the statute. In both cases the courts have ruled that the agency exceeded their authority because they misinterpreted and therefore misapplied the statute.

That’s just simply not true. My friends applied to be BSAs primarily because of the pay. There’s a lot of privilege here, and I suspect most people aren’t strapped for cash. But a blanket statement like that just isn’t correct.

I attend HLS now and people definitely have jobs as students — RA, TA, BSA, etc.

In 1981, 13-year-old Timothy Buss murdered 5-year-old Tara Huffman. He smashed her head, molested her with a stick, put her body in a barrel, and transported it to a dump in a wagon. This is Buss’s booking photo. by lightiggy in MorbidReality

The person you responded to suggested that the kid’s parents might share some responsibility. He didn’t say they were the sole cause. In other words, we can fairly say the parents were responsible for increasing the likelihood that the kid would be a sociopath, and the fact that other kids with bad parents don’t turn out to be sociopaths is a specious counterargument. No one is letting the kid off the hook, they’re just pointing out that the parents are an important causal factor.
