    For the people thst practice law, it is not uncommon to have charges dropped even if the law was very clearly violated, because it just doesn’t feel.right to penalize them.

    E.g., a battered spouse kills their partner or a parent is caught stealing baby formula in small amounts. Such cases regularly get thrown out




  • Hi friend! You cant evolve out of a clade. Birds are dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are fish. Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans are great apes, which evolved from primates. Monkeys also evolved from primates. Humans and Dinosaurs evolved (skipping many steps here) from fish. Every terrestrial animal that is not an arthropod is a fish. Hope this clears it up.

    Edit: As far as your PS, crocodiles emerged at the end of the Permian mass extinction as pseudosuchians, diverging from the ornithosuchia and avemetatarsalia archosaur groups

    Edit edit: phylogenetic*








  • For context, there is a trend of correcting people saying scientists to “white man”, because articles frame discoveries as “scientists discover x” when “x” had been widely known by the local population since that population got there.

    However, this argument is fucking stupid because science has, famously, not categorized and described everything that exists, even if non scientists already know about it.
