Another great example of how lies propagate on Reddit

If Turner violated his probation like the pot guy, he would face more time than him.

No he wouldn't. Turner was sentenced to three years probation (among other things); Worsley pleaded to five years probation. If you violate probation, you can't go to jail for more time than your probation was for.

That's one of the several things that stand out in the self-described lawyer's reply that pretty clearly implies they're not actually a lawyer.

He chose to go to trial and a jury convicted him on three counts of felony sexual assault. He appealed the case to another court, which reviewed the conviction and upheld it.

There were not "bullshit charges".

So if someone drinks so much they pass out and then someone else comes along and has sex with them then a) that's not rape, and b) whatever it is is the fault of the passed out person?

That's absolute lunacy.

Another great example of how lies propagate on Saidit:

Self-described lawyer doesn't mention the part where first-time possession of marijuana for personal use is a misdemeanor in Alabama, but the cop decided - based on nothing - that the marijuana in the car was for more than just personal use, which is a felony, and the prosecutors have continued with that line of thinking ever since.
Self-described lawyer doesn't mention the part where Worsley is mentally disabled and not able to make decisions for himself without a guardian present, which he did not have when, faced with jail time or a plea deal, he signed the plea deal.
Self-described lawyer doesn't mention the part where Worsley, having returned to his home state, later became homeless and had no money to pay either the court costs in Alabama or the renewal fee for the card he needed to legally possess the medicine he needs.
Self-described lawyer, having thus left all of this out, paints a pretty picture of a man who only has himself to blame for now facing a five year prison sentence that, however you want to slice and dice it, is still ultimately the consequence of a simple marijuana possession arrest.

Because this is what happens all across this nation, every single day, more often to black men than anyone else: an arrest for something minor leads to an impossible choice to either rot in prison until your court date - which you simply can't afford to do - or accept a lesser charge so you can get on with your life, and ends up ballooning into a felony prison sentence over bullshit like simply not having enough money to pay up when the court says you must pay up. Added bonus in this case: not having enough money to renew the card you're required to have in order to legally possess your medicine - a requirement that doesn't exist for any other medicine.

It's absolute bullshit and OP's post is frankly no better than the original one. The only difference is the original one is missing out information so that it can vilify the white dude and self-described lawyer's response is missing out information so that he can vilify the black dude.

Yeah, if black people changed their behavior, racist cops would magically stop pulling them over for no reason, racist landlords would magically stop refusing to rent to them when they hear their accents on the phone, racist employers would magically stop tossing resumes into the trash can when they see names like Washington, Jefferson, etc.

I doubt they are doing that because it would impact the success of the platform.

I don't get how you can think this while at the same time agreeing with the argument that they might be showing insufficiently "woke" people fewer matches...which would also impact the success of the platform.

Those two things don't go together.

Humpty · 2020-07-15T16:07:33+00:00

All BLM is is a collective expression of: "Please stop killing us for no good reason. Please treat us like you treat white people." I really don't get what's so awful about that.

It's just simple human decency to not treat people like shit because of their skin color.

It's a dating site. Its entire purpose is to link people together who will ideally get along with each other. It's trying to make sure that it doesn't match someone who thinks racism is bad...with a racist.

Humpty · 2020-07-15T16:02:42+00:00

LOL, no it doesn't.

Humpty · 2020-07-15T15:57:20+00:00

This is the kind of LUDICROUS SHIT that makes normal, unassuming and non-politically oriented folks seem racist by ignorance.

I don't think you seem racist.

If your immediate reaction to being asked questions that revolve around whether you think racial inequality is a bad thing that ought not to exist is to get angry and offended, you're clearly racist.

It's a dating site, FFS. Its entire purpose is to link people together who will ideally get along with each other. It's trying to make sure that it doesn't match someone who thinks racism is bad...with a racist. That algorithm appears to be working, as you've ably demonstrated for us.

Humpty · 2020-07-15T15:45:14+00:00

It's also possible that you've lived in echo chambers where any "wrongthink" is strictly banned and censored...I suggest you go back to reddit where you can share your deep insights into how everyone is magically biologically 100% completely the same and whatever else nonsense the leftist echochamber propagandamachine produces for the masses.

I suggest you stop making idiotic assumptions about what people think.

Whites are more intelligent than blacks. This is both a scientific fact and scientific consensus.

It is neither.

Your previous echochamber bans any actual science because its "racist".

Translation: "I think 'actual science' means stuff I google from provably garbage 'journals' that agrees with my preconceived opinions about black people. So when people disagree with me, that must mean they're wrong."

Fuck that ignorant, bigoted bullshit.

I hope for your sake you're still a child.

There appears to be a strong correlation, though, between people who make a point of saying, "all lives matter", and people who think that some lives matter more than others on the basis of ethnicity (or some other inherent factor).

Which is basically another way of saying, "A lot of people who say all lives matter are liars."

Humpty · 2020-07-15T07:22:38+00:00

for pointing out George Soros is...a Nazi collaborator

Dear lord, not this nonsense again! :sigh:

Humpty · 2020-07-15T07:19:38+00:00

In summary:

"Reddit is too one-sided. I observe that this place is also too one-sided, but from the other side. I think it would be better if it were more balanced."
"Go back to reddit"

Do you not see how idiotic that response is?

Humpty · 2020-07-15T07:15:28+00:00

In the 30 minutes or so that I've been on this site, checking out the top links on the front page, I've seen:

"Zionist conspiracy", "kikebags"
9/11 was a Mossad job
COVID-19 is a Jewish hoax
Blatant racism
Blatant misogyny
Blatant transphobia (as in, hatred of trans people generally, not just confined to TRAs)
Articles from objectively laughable sites like GatewayPundit and TheWhiteHouseInsider being posted as inarguable truth
Pizzagate being posted as inarguable truth

Something tells me this isn't quite the high quality content that will draw massive amounts of readers in!

Humpty · 2020-07-15T07:11:09+00:00

If this were actually true it would be huge news and would be all over the mainstream press. But it's not.

Do you guys ever consider that just because [random site] posts [thing I like the sound of], that doesn't automatically mean it's true? I mean, TheWhiteHouseInsider is laughably terrible! You can't be falling for that, surely, can you?

Humpty · 2020-07-15T07:01:16+00:00

If you’re mad and find yourself yelling that you want someone launched into the Sun, take a moment, calm yourself, and remember that it takes a lot less Delta v to launch them out of the Solar System instead. You can be mad, but that’s no excuse to be inefficient with propellant.

Humpty · 2020-07-15T06:55:51+00:00

Sure it has. And ever since then we've been regulating it with laws, because it doesn't work otherwise.

Humpty · 2020-07-15T06:48:39+00:00

Raises the inevitable question: who will fact check you?

Humpty · 2020-07-15T06:44:10+00:00

Marxist

LOL, what?

PJ Media (originally known as Pajamas Media) is a subscription based "opinion and commentary outlet of Far-right politics," which is part of Salem Media Group. It was founded in 2004, with its majority owner being software entrepreneur, billionaire, and angel investor Aubrey Chernick, founder of Candle Corporation (acquired by IBM).

So, rich fascists making shit up for gullible people. Got it!

Humpty · 2020-07-15T06:35:04+00:00

Go fuck yourself, Catshit. Fuck GenderCritical, fuck censorship, fuck Reddit cancer, your little narcissistic feminist hugboxes, your constant belly aching about patriarchy and victimhood.

Gee, I can't imagine why they banned you!
