The image made it sound like she killed him after the court let him go. That’s what I commented on. If she killed him in self defense, that’s fine. Everybody is entitled to defend themselves.

That victim-blaming label is something you pulled out of a dark orifice. I am not blaming anyone. I am just saying that we as a society don’t let victims dole out punishments. No matter how satisfying it sometimes might feel.

In a civilized society we don’t let victims pick the punishment, because we want to apply rational laws that are not based on vengeance. I’m not saying it always works, but it’s the idea we should strive for.
I mean, that’s very biblical justice and we moved away from that on purpose.

Why the fuck would you do it any other way? A teacher once called me a minimalist, because I always did the bare minimum to not fail. I still don’t see that as a negative comment.

Is it “in another continent” or “on another continent” or are both fine?

4·4 months agoI don’t think you understand how evolution works. There is no evolutional pressure on humans to run long distances, jump far or high. And even if there suddenly were, it would take generations for noticeable changes. It’s much more likely that some parents let their kids be CRISPRd to create more red blood cells which would grant them an endurance boost or other such changes. That will probably happen in our lifetime.
Besides, your ostrich example is not helpful. A snow albatross is as tall as a small human and also has two. Maybe we will grow wings and fly!

7·4 months agoWe do know what human bodies are physically capable of. You can literally calculate that. With genetic outliers you can push this slightly, but not by a huge margin. There is a reason why so many records are still standing after 30-40 years. For a marathon, 2 hours is about the limit of human bodies. We reached that in 2023. Maybe someone can eke out a minute or two more, but without genetic manipulation or doping that’s it. The world records for long jump were set in 1988 for women and 1991 for men. The record for high jump was set in 1993. For these sports we have reached what human bodies are capable of. If they are ever broken, it will be by a few centimeters. No human will suddenly jump 10 meters.

7·4 months agoWe are very close to the limit of what human bodies can do without cheating. Genetic outliers who can slightly push these limits might exist, but they won’t suddenly jump 10m, rather narrowly crack the 30 year old record of 8.95m, for example. And someone might run a clean 2 hour marathon, but there won’t be anyone running it in 90 minutes. Until we do genetic manipulation or allow doping, the old records will stand or will only increase marginally.

20·4 months agoHäagen-Dazs was founded in New York, I never thought of it as European. But it’s produced by Nestlé, which is based in Switzerland but still evil. Milka and Toblerone were produced by the same company, but have been owned by US companies since 1990. Same for Côte d’Or. These are all owned by Mondelez, which used to be Kraft, a US company. If you want to avoid Nestlé and Mondelez, which you should, you basically need to buy from small local shops (expensive) or just make everything yourself. That is cheaper and you have full control over the ingredients. And because it takes time you’ll eat fewer unhealthy snacks.
Haute means high.

Oh fuck off with your what aboutism. I commented on the text in the image, which made it sound like someone murdered their rapist after a court let him go. And I will disagree with that kind of vigilante justice on principle. It might be understandable, I might not even be sad, but it’s not something a civilized society can tolerate. I hope you finally understand that.
