No, but I can almost always check the modlog ~~when~~ if a user complains
FTFY.
The authors of thoughtful, insightful, accurate, and reasonable posts and comments tend to be the kind of people who choose their battles, and quietly walk away from communities led by power-tripping dipshits.
I just know I am capable of recognizing a shit take on politics anywhere
Not when the "shit take" in question is the arbitrary, capricious, unjustified removal of thoughtful, insightful, accurate, reasonable posts and comments. You (generally) can't recognize the "shit take" of removing good content unless you spend all day reading the mod logs.
the hospital did a CAT scan of little Nikki and found a swollen, bleeding brain believed at the time to be a classic sign of shaken baby syndrome.
There are, indeed, conditions that will cause a brain to bleed inside the skull. Those conditions don't explain all the head injuries outside the skull: the hematomas and hemmorhaging between the skin and the skull.
If you want to argue against the death penalty, go ahead. I lean against it; you don't have to convince me.
But we do a disservice to every actual innocent convict when we pretend a guilty man is innocent just to avoid a sentence we abhor.
If you want to explain the myriad serious head injuries in some way that absolves him of responsibility, I'm listening.
subscapular and subgaleal hemorrhaging between her skin and her skull, subarachnoid bleeding, subdural hematoma, both pre-retinal and retinal hemorrhages and brain edema.
Translation: he beat the shit out of her.
Remove all the SBS testimony, and you still have him beating the hell out of her. He is not at all innocent.
You can argue against the death penalty in general, but there is no rational argument for his innocence.
There are laws against selling fake drugs. Why does he think your product is a drug? Has it been represented to him as a drug by you or by someone with whom you are conspiring to sell fake drugs?
He isn't. No sane reading of the 14th amendment allows him to run.
From wiki:
According to prosecutors, physicians reported that Nikki suffered and ultimately died of "massive head trauma". Prosecutors argued that in the emergency room, Nikki was found to have "[a] bruise on the back of her shoulder, a scraped elbow, a bruise over her right eyebrow, bruises on her chin, a bruise on her left cheek, an abrasion next to her left eye, multiple bruises on the back of her head, a torn frenulum in her mouth, bruising on the inner surface of the lower lip, subscapular and subgaleal hemorrhaging between her skin and her skull, subarachnoid bleeding, subdural hematoma, both pre-retinal and retinal hemorrhages and brain edema."[12] Additionally, four separate doctors testified Nikki had "multiple blows to different points on the head," which could not have been caused by falling off a bed.[13] At trial, Roberson's defense expert admitted that Roberson "lost it" and shook Nikki because he could not stop her from crying.[13]
That's a spider orgy.
Get off my lawn, young'n.
I think it correlates more strongly to the prevalence of pornography. Mainstream movie scenes look fake and contrived, because they are. As unrealistic as pornography is, that is actually a dick, and it is actually going in a vagina.
When your mainstream movie sex scene is going to be compared (unfavorably) to a scene of two people actually fucking, why bother even shooting it?
