In 1778, Court of Session judges ruled that slavery was incompatible with Scots Law. This ruling meant Knight could not be made to carry out tasks for Wedderburn or be taken back to Jamaica against his will.

Awesome. Knight is a hero.

I think that’s their point

All of them. Some are better at self control, but none of us were sane.

Whenever a genuinely obnoxious post is upvoted multiple times, I always wonder how many of those upvotes are from the pathetic author’s alts, and how many are from people who are just fellow assholes.

All Ukraine is asking is that we send them what they need to kick invaders out of their country. They’ll do all the hard work themselves. Shut the fuck up and get it done, Johnson.

Until reading this article, I never knew that Musk even had a brother. Considering the press Musk has gotten, though, that probably suits the brother just fine.

😂 good point. I’m just thinking that since it’s NK, the “manager” probably didn’t have much more freedom or authority than the employees did. I’d be very surprised if he benefited from the embezzlement. I’d expect the higher ups to take it all.

I’ve seen more sealioning than simple trolling. Sometimes, I can’t resist replying, because I’m not sure if they’re genuinely seeing things differently, or just because their games annoy me.

The only good thing to come out of this is that the cop quit. I hope he’s billed for the damage to the car anyway.

How are you not proving his point? The very first thing I said was “that’s unfortunate”, because I empathize. I also used the word “maybe” because I’m not omniscient and could very well be wrong. Describing my own experience is not “bragging” or “hostile”, and since it’s related to the topic at hand, certainly isn’t arbitrary.

Unlike you, I didn’t lead off with a paragraph of assumptions.

I’m not even touching that ridiculous “group dynamics” bullshit, or the personal insults. They speak for themselves quite well. Have you ever heard of giving someone the benefit of the doubt?

Don’t waste too much effort on your inevitable reply. I won’t be reading it.
