- Comment on Do Prosecutors or Defense Attorney's or lawyers really care for their client? Or are they just more concerned about their stats and screwing over the opposition? 5 days ago:
About 95% care for their client. About 5% don’t, and those care for stats, screwing over the opposition or even just money or doing the least amount of work.
Though specifically criminal defense is such a thankless job because everybody hates you and even the court is often subconsciously biased against you, I can imagine people specifically in that role tend to be more idealistic, so that would mean maybe 98% of them care for their client.
They I should also say, attorneys generally only care about doing a good job, only a very tiny fraction would care enough for their client to get them into trouble with the state bar.
But yeah, I feel like lawyers get a bad rep because you gotta fight for your clients as written in the fifth amendment even if they turn out to be douche bags.
- Comment on Who came up with the phrase "coming out of the closet" to describe homosexuals admitting they are gay? Why not coming out of the kitchen or coming out of the bedroom? 1 week ago:
To add to that, phrases like “monster in the closet” or “cleaning out the closet” all relate back to this.
The idea is a closet is a great way to hide things quickly but also not really the way to deal with things long term. You just stuffed it away, you didn’t properly think about it and remedy the issues. That’s why people who have something to hide metaphorically speaking stuff these things in their closet. And that’s why when you’re a child the closet is the big unknown, as in you might find things in there you didn’t expect. For example, maybe there are monsters in there.
I would also say there’s a chance that’s why to get to Narnia, in the books, they would go through the closet. But there might be other reasons too ofc.
So yeah the closet has a deep connection with hiding secrets. And if that secret is your homosexuality, which is a common story that’s why it said “coming out of the closet”, which means finally addressing something publicly. And now we’re shortening that to say “coming out”.

- Comment on $1.8 trillion was wiped out from the US stock market yesterday, where did it go? 1 week ago:
Usually what happens is more akin to the market “correcting” the price estimation of shares of a company.
- Comment on How do people "hack" websites like to shut them down or whatever? Is it as simple as learning C++ and Java? How do people take credit for what they did without being arrested? 2 weeks ago:
I’m gonna dumb this down for people like me: if a user does unexpected things in a program, sometimes it can abuse the program so that it allows the user to do what it shouldn’t.
Most software nowadays is incredibly attuned to this so there’s truckloads of things that have already been brushed over in a software but software always has remaining holes in it.
When you develop a software, you have to make it work in the right way, and then you have to stop it from crashing when used in the wrong way. But if you “hack” some software, you only need to find out how to use it the wrong way. That’s why software development and red teaming are very very different fields. Though generally cybersecurity (at least in my eyes) is considered one of the most difficult fields in computer science because of the broad base knowledge required.
- Comment on Are there world laws? Where if you violate them a group of soldiers will come to your country and take you to the ICC? If the ICC is moot then why have it? or for that matter the UN? 2 weeks ago:
A few things to add to that:
- not all crimes qualify for extradition, it’s usually to do with the severity of the crime
- some international bodies may be involved iirc, like interpol and Europol etc
- it can also be done by three letter agencies or even just normal police. The extradition is usually just burocracy that slowly escalates up the levels of justice and finally to the indicting country
- geopolitics can make this extremely complicated, because countries never cooperate out of goodwill, usually there’s underlying treaties that bind a bunch of them to commit to extradition
- usually criminals get away with something, because the countries they live in don’t cooperate with an extradition in various ways
- because it’s international and countries act in their own best interest, jurisdictional boundaries are sometimes extremely weird and assumed jurisdiction can make things difficult (multiple charges for a crime, countries not extraditing because they don’t trust the judicial branch of another country, weird quirks of things like law in space and maritime law, …

These are definitely some of the words one can write.
Not quite the right order, not yet a sentence but you’re getting close. Be careful or I might even comprehend your communication.
- Comment on Did 9/11 cause a statistically visible "anti-babyboom"? 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t know that.
And that’s insane if think about it - the fact we can link birth complications to this specific event is a rare insight into how many causal links we are embedded in on a societal level.

- Comment on Christa Pike at 18 years old when she was sentenced to death. She is now 50 and they are supposed to kill her this week 5 weeks ago:
That’s the whole issue. It’s like 50% actual narcissists without remorse and 50% just sad circumstances all around.
The death penalty is an extremely cruel way to “get rid of the problem” by fighting the symptom. But to get there, so many things would have gone wrong, and we should always prioritize fixing those things before ever thinking about punishment.
People love retribution but the truth is you can torture a murderer and that still won’t bring the victim back and even then that’s not satisfying to the victim’s family.

Wouldn’t it even help to just do the basics like MFA or maybe OTP?
The issue is not that they’re not meeting special authentication requirements, they aren’t even meeting basic safety standards for any web app.

- Comment on The irony of arguing with someone who read about it in a history book vs. you having lived it 1 month ago:
You make a great point. In court cases human memory is notoriously unreliable (any lawyer will probably tell you this) and usually lead attorneys on cases rely on evidence like logs, communication, photos, videos, etc. to make their case.
And I am guilty of thinking highly of my memory as well, I really ought to be more critical of my memory.

- Comment on Mayor says he heard gun shots as he saw a black man running. He jumped in his pickup, chased him down and pointed a shotgun at his chest. Cops came and said it was fireworks behind the library 2 months ago:
Not great that Fetterman never apologized, but it does look like even the “black man running” (Christopher Miyares) is endorsing Fetterman. In fact the article I found mentions his district is majority black and he is polling at 61% still so a majority of black voters seem to still accept him.
Apparently this incident was also propped up big time by the “Republican Jewish Coalition’s political action committee” during an election. So there’s truckloads of bias floating around.
Not saying this video is wrong and I actually didn’t know about this incident but it seems this whole incident was him genuinely making a bad mistake.Though he most certainly should apologize.

- Comment on People after discovering that you don't automatically get a good job after graduating from college: 2 months ago:
Literally wrote more than 100 applications and only one in-person meeting. I am more qualified than the average person in my field with more than 10 years of experience already.
Ngl I hate posts like this because it feels like talking to me as if I’m a big dumb dumb. But I did the calculations and the only thing I can conclude is a combination of bad luck and an extremely hostile job market. I had friends literally shocked I didn’t find a job. It’s awful and it strips away my confidence that took me a decade to finally build up.

- Comment on What is with alot of movie or tv torrents being in Russian all of a sudden? 2 months ago:
Takedowns are the bane of piracy. Russian domain owners don’t get as much legal pressure by the state to act on takedown notices, therefore Russian domains bring a little bit of resistance.
Sidenote, .su used to belong to the ussr but it was never really released and it’s assignment is in a geopolitical limbo, so that domain is even more shady. It’s an interesting story.
P.s. If I got any of this wrong please correct me.
