Amber Heard who is, ironically, defended for her case of domestic violence against Johnny Depp.

There’s a lot more nuance to it and both of them suck in the context of Heard vs. Depp, but she physically laid hands on Johnny Depp.

I think that’s the thing that pisses me off most. Zero accountability. Everyone is a kiss ass to Trump and although the law exists, no one is upholding it.

Seems like she’s unfit to do her job too. Get her out of there like Kristi Noem.

Ok

The act of being arrested is not particularly fun. You know, being restrained and walked off like an animal in some sense. Depends what it’s for in general. But it’s the public image of it. And then the repercussions of having to deal with follow up court work, possible jail time and it being a future talking point of a potential employer. It’s just not really something to be proud of.

That is a rule in general, with exceptions of course.

But my point stands, that the act is embarrassing enough already, especially if it’s publicized. So having your face edited to make it look even more humiliating is worse.

That is a fair definition.

Not trying to argue about anything. So I appreciate the civility.

What would you argue are the differences between rules and laws in society? I use the two interchangeably as I believe them to mean the same thing.

I’m not saying it’s perfect. It has its share of flaws, but rules and law create order. I’m not a simp for US law, but without it, injustice would run even more rampant. If you claim to love justice then you must also, by principle, be in favor of some sort of law system that enforces it.

Enforcing the law is embarrassing? Breaking the law is embarrassing.

And my point isn’t that she was necessarily breaking the law. I’m simply stating that it’s already an embarrassing enough act to be restrained and then on top of that have images of you in a vulnerable state circulate around the internet.

No I certainly would agree with that. But being restrained against your will and having your records publicized about being an offender of the law certainly doesn’t bode well for your own public image or on employment applications.

Why? It’s already embarrassing enough to be arrested

I wouldn’t argue capitalism is bad. It encourages competition and innovation. People who have good novel ideas and work hard, deserve to reap the fruit of their labor. I think the bad of it comes from exploitation.

Wasn’t there a study showing a large correlation between CEOs actually being psychopaths? Supposedly that’s the trait that makes them hyper successful since they only care about themselves?

The sarcasm flew over my head, I’m sorry 🙃🥲😆

Well you always have to help yourself before you can help others otherwise you don’t have resources or the capability.

It’s why they instruct you to put on your oxygen mask first in the plane before helping others.

I believe so. I guess a more appropriate one would be Textron since they still make helicopters?

Science and Religion can harmoniously exist.

Any company’s main concern is the company itself, why wouldn’t it be?

Damn. I remember seeing a Reddit AMA when I first came across Protonmail some 7-odd years ago with the Protonmail CEO saying something along the lines of “we don’t plan on moving out of Switzerland because other country’s intelligence agencies concern us more than the Swiss intelligence” and I thought that was a good take. Hell, I still do in lieu of everything going on.

I wonder what happens now that they will be “physically diversifying across Europe”.

Yea I’m an LGBTQ+ ally:
