Anti-Defamation League. They’re a non-profit political group that state their mission is to combat anti-Semitism. They’re mostly a pro-Isreal group.

What the accused has told the police will be usable by all sides equally in court.
And the side arguing against you will use your words to assist you?
German courts aren’t special. All courts work the same. You are innocent until proven guilty. You do not need evidence of innocence. All evidence is to prove guilt. The prosecution is attempting to prove guilt. Police collect evidence to prove guilt because proving innocence is not required. Both sides can use evidence collected, yes, that’s the same everywhere, but it’s not collected to prove innocence. You are assumed innocent. No evidence required. If evidence is being collected it’s specifically to be used against you to prove guilt.
It makes zero sense for police to collect evidence of your innocence, the state to charge you with a crime, and then argue you are innocent of that charge. You are assumed innocent. Arguments that you are innocent are not required. Evidence that you are innocent are not required. Statements that you make can’t be used to prove you are innocent. You are innocent by default. Statements that you make can therefore only be used prove guilt.

This site says:
One of the most critical measures in the preliminary proceedings is questioning the alleged crime participants and witnesses to what happened. No statement should be made without legal counsel at this stage (especially when the police open up to the suspect to interrogate them as an “accused”). Investigators are trained to ask questions that could put the suspect in a bind and are increasingly success-oriented. This often results in hasty, ill-considered and incriminating statements, which can be used against the accused in the main proceedings.
Which sounds an awful lot like German police can and will use your words against you in court.

Every country on Earth? Is there someplace police accuse people of crimes and then argue why they’re wrong?

Cops don’t collect evidence to prove your innocence. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Never for you. You and your lawyer provide your own evidence. The cops won’t be collecting it for you.

Who would people buy cigarettes? Who would people buy a Cybertruck? Who would people buy meat? Just because you wouldn’t choose it doesn’t mean it’s a choice that must be banned.

Would you rather buy a game that you know is going to die in a year, or the same game but that can be played for as long as you want?
I would rather I get to make that choice instead of it being imposed onto me. You can make your choice. I can make mine.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Petition to UK Relaunched 6 days ago:
Companies dont tell you beforehand that they are going to shut games down. They usually dont even know they will, so I dont see how your example holds up here. Maybe you could explain.
But what if they did? Some places have already put laws requiring sellers to inform purchasers if they are selling a licence instead of ownership. If the terms were clear at the point of sale, and I agree to the terms, what’s the issue? You’re allowed to think it’s a bad deal, but why does that mean I’m not allowed to accept it?
Its like if Samsung would remotely lock your TV making you unable to turn it on again because they stopped “supporting” it.
Right. If they explained that at point of sale they would be doing that, and I was alright with it, what’s the problem? I understand you wouldn’t accept that deal. That’s fine. You wouldn’t buy that TV. I don’t see why I must be prevented from buying it too.

The government should update consumer law to prohibit publishers from disabling video games (and related game assets / features) they have already sold without recourse for customers to retain or repair them.
If a company says they’re going to disable a video game a year after I purchase it and I won’t be able to retain or repair it and I agree to those terms, can I still buy it?
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Petition to UK Relaunched 1 week ago:
It’s not going to get the signatures because the average person does not care about this. I play a lot of games and even I don’t care. If you don’t like the game, don’t buy it. Why does there need to be regulation to stop me from buying it too?

- Comment on How do prisons handle people with peanut allergies? 1 week ago:
Depends on the country. The Canadian government lists several special medical diets for prisoners. Food allergies is one but they list quite a bit like diets for diabetic or pregnant prisoners. For all these diets the prisoner must be diagnosed and can’t simply request it because they want it.
A diet of conscience is a requested diet for religious or moral beliefs. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms requires prisoners recieve a diet that conforms to their beliefs should they be able to adequately describe and demonstrate adherence to them.
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 week ago:
Im going to assume OnlyFans doesn’t do that because they want to. They’d likely be harassed by government if they didn’t.
Pornhub had to remove all unverified videos (which was most of their videos) and now anyone who uploads must follow similar rules that OnlyFans has. Pornhub posted an announcement saying they reported 118 instances of child abuse materials while Facebook reported 84,000,000 but that somehow they’re the ones being threatened to be shutdown unless they implement more rules.

There are dietary laws for Catholics, specifically about fasting and abstaining from meat consumption, but they vary wildly by region. For example, Canadian Catholics are permitted to eat meat on Friday if they perform an act of charity, read the Bible, or pray more than usual. Just make sure you’re Canadian or else God will be mad.

- Comment on If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal? 2 weeks ago:
Theoretically, the ship could be seized by the military of any country. Not following international laws means not being protected by international laws.
- Comment on If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal? 2 weeks ago:
Casual Navigation talks a bit about this: What Law Applies In International Waters? Essentially, the ship needs to be registered to a country and the laws of that country apply while on the ship. Most ships register themselves in a country with very lax laws, known as a “flag of convenience”. The laws of Libera, Panama, and Marshall Islands must be pretty convenient since those are countries most ships get registered.
What happens if you don’t register your ship? It’s the same as not having a passport. You’re going to have a hard time when you want to dock at a port.
- Comment on Palworld Lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
It’s a Japanese patent. I’m not sure how it would hold up internationally, but Pocketpair is also a Japanese company and this lawsuit is entirely within the Japanese legal system. That probably gives Nintendo a bit of an advantage since they’re such a large and iconic Japanese corporation.
- Comment on Palworld Lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
The “update” is from a month ago. Pocketpair shared the patents they are accused of infringing and the payments Nintendo wants.
The patents are for “throwing an object in 3D space to capture a target” (throwing a pokeball) and “moving characters to a virtual field when an event is triggered” (entering a battle) the payment requested is 10 million yen or 64,000 USD. A paltry sum for a billion dollar company suing over a game that made tens of millions.
The patents were awarded to Nintendo after Palword had already released a trailer for their game showing gameplay. Pocketpair also released an earlier game called Craftopia which is Palworld but the pals are just straight up animals. It has the same systems Palworld does but didn’t sell very well.
A newer update is that Palworld has since released a patch that modified how their capture and summon system works, likely in an attempt to make Nintendo happy.
Palworld Update v0.3.11 Notes:
Player: Changed the behaviour of summoning player-owned Pals so that they are always summoned near the player
UI: The reticle will now only be displayed when aiming

I said bond but I didn’t mean to imply it actually binds people. If two people work at the same place they also have a bond, but that doesn’t mean they get along. Unlike coworkers, family can’t really become not family, but again it doesn’t mean they get along.
The only reason OP wants to talk to someone who shares none of their interests is because that someone is family. There is no reason they’d talk otherwise. I was trying to say they need to have a reason to talk besides being related.
