I listened to Serial as well, and am unsure whether or not he is guilty, but I believe that due to the absolute farce of a trial based solely on circumstantial evidence, and an incompetent defense attorney, he should not have been convicted. His guilt or innocence is immaterial.

It's not an outrageous guess. However, it wasn't a guess, it was an assumption. And that's a pretty outrageous assumption.

People are not nearly as impoverished now as they were in the late 19th century when they were striking for an 8 hour day.

I listened to Serial and came to the firm conclusion this guy is guilty as sin, and that those who believe otherwise are naive as hell and unfamiliar with lying sociopaths.

It wasn’t rape as it was consensual (they were the ones who invited the men and allowed them in). Notice how the article never mentions the “rapist” being arrested, they definitely did everything they could to make sure the police never caught the guy involved so that the police wouldn’t have his testimony exposing them.

What they did was LIE, make a false report, frame and defame the woman.

There was no rape just tons of deceit to ruin someone.

We have no idea of what actually went on. For all we know the guy off Craigslist double checked with them first and made sure they wanted a hoax rape before “starting.” Everything we know about the incident came from known and convicted liars.

This is so complicated I couldn't even follow it. Is there a tldr?

It's like "a few good apples" continues to be the excuse in America to do nothing to improve our policing

Let's hope all that is, like this move sounds dangerously close to double jeopardy. Like, sure, the thoughts and notions of a victim and their family should play a role in the justice system but that role should be small enough as to not infringe on the rights of the accused.

You know we have control over all those regulations right? If they're law and it's okay for a relative few to be randomly caught and published, it should be okay for 100% to be punished, or it should've never been law in the first place. And the proper avenue is repeal rather than just trying to ensure most laws aren't enforced most of the time.

Thank you. Was hoping there would be a TLDR.

Enough people care to vote in corporatist and/or fascists into office because the people are constantly bombarded by corporatist propaganda.

Also, you should add what is the true driving cause of NATO "expansion" (there is a reason I put them in double apostrophes): Russia's treatment of its lackey countries.

With the exception of Hungary, whose prime minister went from "russians go home" to "we must protect russian oligarchs from sanctions" by the good old Hungarian tradition of institutionalized corruption, every ex-USSR member either became a NATO member, wants to be or became like Belarus with dictators.

What you say is true, but humans are actively and knowingly creating an extinction level event that is going to bring the population down fast, and there will be wars over water, possibly in our lifetimes.

Man, I love talking about history. A town that I'm close by, there's signs everywhere that tell the story of how this was a boomtown during the Industrial Revolution. Due to the location on the river, it became a major producer of lumber from the sawmills. It gets even crazier, when they were fighting for worker rights, most of the politicians were sawmill owners.

> They faced many hazards like injury and death without compensation, as there were no workmen’s compensation or death benefits available.

> Several months previously the men who controlled the lumber trade had formed the Lumbermen’s Exchange, a cartel set up to control and monopolize lumber affairs with one voice. The Lumbermen’s Exchange answered this threat to their power by refusing to negotiate with the workmen but instead, started retaliating against them.

They eventually got a 10 hour day.

We owe so much for the few labor rights we do have today, that Republicans are constantly trying to repeal.

The numbers on people not wanting to die? Probs around 7 billion. The average person is not gonna confront someone with a weapon without any kind of safety assurance. This doesn't change just because they put social worker on their resume. They already get paid shit wages and Redditors are now speaking for them saying they should be thrown to the wolves.

Probably the same source you're using. Your asses.

> So English defaults to the us, even if the majority of people on here from all over use it to communicate?

In the absence of any other information about location, is it that outrageous a guess?

I don't think poster was being americentric, but patiently just saying "No, actually I was speaking of a flight between Stockholm and Paris" would have been kindly informative and helpful, without the "stupid Americans, think everything is about you" comment.

But as always you're free to be as triggered as you wish here.

It’s not just that.

• heavy duty work do not qualify anymore for compensation which is why bin men are striking
• to get your full pension, you must work without any stop from your 20s to your 60s. No illness, break, year off whatsoever
• point 2 implies you must make a choice very early in life wether you want an under educated job or a masters degree and so forth.
• all of the above with no guarantee that it all won’t happen again while you’re not even yet 64. Since the reason that cause it haven’t been adress.
• edit: and AI is brining a lot of uncertainty into the job market. If you are about or graduate, I’d be worried to death about my future
• all whilst the rich got richer, threaten to take their wealth away, if you wish to tax them and the larger companies get record profit even as the economy slows down.

For sure most people are in the streets for the extra 2 years but there’s a lot more going on.

Not really. They wouldn't have elected Macron a second time otherwise.
