  • The issue is with the initial search. They can only search after they have the warrant, and they allegedly made the arrest knowing they would find a gun, and then got the warrant, and then “found” the gun again.

    Even if they claim that as long as they did find the gun, it means they were right - the problem is that, had they not known about the gun, they wouldn’t have had grounds to arrest him, and therefore they wouldn’t have a conviction. That sounds fine as long as you do find a murderer, but not for everyone else they search like that with no warrant.

    Even assuming the gun was real and not planted, the legal issue is that they can’t be allowed to fish for anyone they want, even if they happen to land on the right guy - after countless other innocents. Forcing them to let an actual murderer free would, presumably, push them to think twice before violating random people’s rights.

    And after that, they have to prove somehow that the gun wasn’t planted while they had the bag and the owner couldn’t check on them.



  • Rebirth lays the groundwork for Shinra starting a world war to generate more lifestream material (anguish of war victims) and “replenish the planet” so that they can pump out more Mako, it seems to be going pretty hardcore about Shinra being pure casual evil ultra imperialist capitalist, with the side of growing religious takeover with who believes or not in the Promised Land (and I forget what they call the huge materia in Rebirth - magister? Magnus?) as a land of infinite resource to sell as electricity. Scarlet salivating at the Weapons, literal harbingers of the end of the world, for the giant materia they’re made of is pretty on point.

    Also they made massive efforts on the worldbuilding with all regions each having their History dominated by their local war with Shinra. I’m eager to get Wutai and the revamp from the war in Crisis Core, and possible new mentions of the new Ever Crisis stuff like Rhadore and that recent pre-Wutai place. Shinra has been going from cartoon villains in the OG to openly pure evil of mankind.






  • How about

    Middleman anonimizer, pornhub sends the message to a middleman, the middleman puts its own token on the request, sends that to the gov, the gov responds yes/no to the middleman on the authenticity of the message, the middleman forwards the response to pornhub. The gov doesn’t see pornhub, pornhub only gets the yes/no response, the middleman only sees the message with no ID and the response as well as the site.

    Requires a separate middleman maintained by who the fuck knows. Pornhub keeps your IP, the gov keeps your name, the middleman only knows the number of visitors on pornhub.










  • Thing is, the Republicans are lying. So when you quote their excuse verbatim and put them on the same level of truth and representation, you are spreading a lie / propaganda.

    Republicans are not doing gerrymandering to counter Democrats gerrymandering. They are doing it to silence opposition, over-value their voters, steal power, and abuse the law-making and law-enforcing system. And they claim that they are following the law.

    No, Democrats removing undue power by placing equal representation back on top is not the same thing. They are saying the same thing on the surface, but one side is obviously lying, and when you say they use the same thing, you ARE acting like the excuse has the same value as the truth. And if you wanted to spin it as “they both makethe same claim / use the same excuse” , now you’re casting doubt on the veracity of the Dem’s argument, which is also inappropriate. The only spin that would make sense is to say that Dems are correct and Reps are lying by making the same claim.

    That’s why you get downvoted.
