I haven't gone terminally online in depth, but there's too much doubt about her insanity to confidently say she didn't know what she was doing as far as I can see. It looks obvious to me, idk.

Jury left basically guessing at Lindsay's mental state during the killing. And there are no good options for a verdict. Probably why insanity should be proved as opposed to vice versa.

The whole case boils down to whether or not she was psychosic during the killing, which basically we only have her word for. There's no conclusive evidence of psychosis. Massachusetts law is rather binary when it comes to insanity as culpability has to be proven beyound a reasonable doubt and that you can be aqcuited just on doubt of one's sanity. Your either guilty or not. Ideally, a sort of compromise would be ideal in my opinion, like guilty but insane, but that's not on the table. This article discusses how Massachusetts law is outdated: https://www.thefp.com/p/law-inadequate-lindsay-clancy-trial

Nordic model is just a progressive twist on when religious states ban prostitution. The goal is essentially the same, to make the problem go away. They don't want prostitution to be a thing in the first place, but with a layer of plausible compassion. It fails because it's wrong on multiple levels. It's impossible to ban prostitution entirely. It's a form of labour like any other. Women are fully capable of choosing sex work. The belief that women can't choose to become sex workers willingly on their own acoord is sexist to a mythological degree. Laughably wrong. Ensuring labor rights is a proven way to tackle fairness, abuse and safety for all types of work in general. There's no reason why sex work should be any different.

There's some truth to it because the overall market is smaller than if it would be legal. Germany is pretty bad with trafficking I believe. You need to regulate the market itself with labor rights as a start at least. But I always felt that the nordic model was motivated more by puritanical ideas of sex and a woman's worth more than anything else.

Nordic model is just a soft ban on prostitution. On a side note, I've started to really notice this sexist cultural attitude of women not being capable of being responsible for their actions. It's silly. If you don't think women choose to become prostitutes you haven't met any hookers. It's telling when the le feminist are the managerial class HR types in that video.

Anonymity makes you less personable. You have to just about overcompensate to overcome that, which isn't realistic to expect of people.

No it wouldn't 😂 You'd have a nice deep discussion in person and then go straight back to arguing about women on the forum.

I think around 200 is the upper limit. Lots of generational games where made with around 200 devs, like Skyrim and Halo.

Gameplay looks like Uncharted. Nothing to cream your pants over.

Because all that matters is good graphics apparently. Gameplay looks cookie cutter and the humor is lacking from what I see. I'll buy it for a dollar 7 years from now.

Quality posters are generally a minority, so having a bigger glut of overall users should result in more quality postings. As long as general discourse is sufficiently constructive an non-toxic via moderation. Could always consider tightening moderation around low-quality postings. There's no squeezing more juice out of a fruit than there's juice. You need a bigger fruit. That's why promotion is the most straightforward solution imo.

Awards and likes incentivize popularity seeking. Inveriably people are going to give likes based on their biases, not on truthfulness or even quality. It's slopification as you make the discourse here more algorythmic.

I was many years ago member of a Star Wars Facebook group that held a tournament to decide which was the best character in the entire series via votes. The character with the least votes would get terminated round for round (that purple haired lady got deleted after one round lol). The character who ultimately won, best Star Wars character of all time, was the fucking kid from Revenge of the Sith that begs Anakin for 6 seconds.

Isn't like every single sentence in episode 3 a meme? 😂
