They are distinct things that are interrelated. Like the pressure and temperature of a gas. Distinct things to measure and understand, yet one tends to affect the other unless you’re very careful. In the topic of this thread, it’s very important to make the distinction: an accusation is not a false just because it doesn’t follow the stereotypical definition. So we need to be clear when we’re talking about false accusations, ie if we’re not talking about incorrect definitions - but real malicious or erroneous false accusations. And that’s an important facet of this discussion because although it’s quite small and similar to other crime accusations; this particular type of false accusation is very hard to defend oneself against and it can ruin lives. And even more importantly, can make it harder for real victims, especially when you add on the problem where different people have different definitions of the crime.

Yes they are intertwined, but still there’s an important difference and I think it’s useful to be clear. But apparently we can’t talk about it here or messages get deleted. Oh well, enforce the hive mind at all costs, I guess.

1·1 day agoNo, sadly he doesn’t. But it would be good if it was somehow made to work that way.
Probably for the best
This would actually make sense if it was two cyber trucks.

7·2 days agoThat would be interesting - if he could pardon the crimes but he’d first have to specifically detail them.

31·3 days agoEbola is bad - so bad that it doesn’t actually spread very well - people die too quickly. It only spreads when lots of people cuddle up with the infected dead corpses - which they happen to do in that part of the world.

This bugs me in so many shows. Like I was just watching Daredevil and there’s this whole theme about him not killing Fisk even though Fisk is killing people all over the place while Daredevil is dropping Fisk’s henchmen like flies. Oh so it’s fine to kill lots of people who got a job to work for Fisk (who is the elected mayor), but not Fisk himself?









Two. You were supposed to vote today, btw.
