Right that's the point. They are territory of the United Kingdom, but not kingdoms in Union. It is directly comparable to what you said.
The important distinction here is that it's the first time contiguous territory has been taken from a nuclear power.

This means they won't *exclude* someone for having a disability, not that they won't encourage disabled applicants to apply.

In the UK, we don't actually have incentives for prosecuting barristers to railroad people into false convictions in the same way as the US.
Barristers are self employed and take on a mix of defence and prosecution work. They don't control evidence in the same way as the USA.

And this is why they do the pedo hunting shit! So you see an article about him attacking a woman and assume it was justified!
She wasn't anything to do with pedophillia, not even accused or anything. It was an unprovoked assault.
@Schmae212
"As a woman" is an amazing little trick.
As a bigender person, that's not how it works. You don't get to just say teehee femininity is a shield from my opinions.
Like, it's fucking *actually* sexist for someone who has or does participate in patriarchy to use women as a shield.

Its ok to not feel comfortable because you fear catching it in spite of the science, but just, logically, think about this:
If a person is lying to you about their ability to infect you with HIV, why would they say they have HIV? Why *wouldn't* they just say they don't have it?

@benphillips76
His first name is Count. Count isn't actually a title of nobility here as such, for our equivalent to the European "Count" is an "Earl".
And yet the female equivalent is "Countess" lol.
This staged shit is a fucking mockery and insult towards victims of child abuse and exactly what you fuckers asked for by constantly enabling these weird pedo hunters (many of who turn out to be nonces btw) to turn this into entertainment.
As a CSA survivor, fuck you all so much.

We literally have a state religion and Bishops in the House of Parliament I'd maybe start there instead of being mad about people swearing oaths according to their tradition.
I just went into a bookstore, bought a book, then asked “hey I’m a local author, would you be interested in carrying my book?” and the way she brushed me off SO QUICK, asked no questions, wouldn’t even make eye contact with me 😭😭
I don't want shit in my bins. That's not unreasonable. If it's trash day and it'll be gone before I notice go for it. What I don't know won't hurt me. But if it's mid week and I'm having to use my bin and it's full of dogshit smell and germs that's not fair on me.

Manslaughter isn't murder. That's like saying rape is sometimes understandable if the victim consented. It definitionally wouldn't be rape.
@DDBoftheStars
@WolfBeils
I mean they don't generally have to be that vague?
The mothers of the children with canon male parents have to be vague and the fathers of characters with canon female parents are equally vague.
There are 7 canon fathers vs only 4 Mothers but still, its not like, a unique thing.
It's always "Kill Pedos" and never "prevent child abuse."
It's always "Kill Pedos" because for these reactionaries Pastor Bob isn't a Pedo, he's just "an honest man who made a mistake."
It's fascinating to me how many people in the replies feel a need to reassure Tom that Edd would have found it funny as though that isn't like why he's making the fucking joke lmao
@Pinkfairyadillo
@agraybee
Is the choice you're currently presenting a binary between "be ok with people getting the ability to finish their violence against women" or "Don't support bail funds"?
Why can't I like bail funds but also think this one made a mistake in funding violence against women?
@datcravat
@venusian_doll
Omg I'm gonna be kinda vulnerable and I feel awful about it but I had an ex transition and leave me when I was pretty young and I found one of those groups and started using that language cause it was made out to be normal. And then a friend of mine had ACTUALLY lost a partner...
@DaveyBiden2024
They weren't in government. You were. Lmao. There's a lot I'll take but it's ridiculous to claim you were the true anti austerity party when you presided over it.
@thenicestbirdy
ngl this seems like an incredibly reductive and harmful binary view of gender where you *have* to feel euphoria about one of two rigidly defined boxes. That might be true to *your* and a lot of people's experiences but it isn't true to so many others.
@jesterfaun
@vanillaopinions
Most people saying this aren't S/A victims just for the simple fact that most people aren't S/A victims.
S/A victims aren't a monolith and whilst I can see having been assaulted making you fantasise about violent revenge, plenty of S/A victims actually find this stuff horrifying.
@KaiDaigoji
@tc1415
You say that as if that isn't a valid consideration for a legal system.
By that logic why have convictions at all? If the gold standard is making it impossible to convict as opposed to, ya know, justice—convicting the guilty, avoiding convicting the innocent.
@JadeWatches
@parkinscroat
See the trick is you gotta make it ambiguous enough that the teller feels a need to show it to the candidates so they can agree its spoilt
Honestly if you feel a need to loudly and often talk about being sexually attracted to children I'm gonna assume it's because you're a nonce.
No normal person needs to loudly shout about things that are obviously bad being bad.
@agraybee
Yeah, it's bizarre that people are acting like you can't blame both the system that allows dangerous people to be released if they have enough money AND the people that gave a dangerous person enough money to be released.
@TheFaceOfAsa
@noodleshopkenz
Fascinating to me how some people have conditioned themselves to need to find something like this as an excuse not to sexualise.
Maybe just don't sexualise people because it's bad to randomly sexualise people?
I like how Americans can stare at direct evidence that European justice systems allow defendants rights and still come away with the conclusion that they don't.
Always jarring to see European criminal systems where defendants have few to no rights and the judges wear silly hats and then compare our incarceration rates to theirs

To be clear no amount of testosterone makes rape justifiable but the reason it isn't comparable is that HRT for trans men aims to raise T levels to a healthy normal in line with typical c*s male levels.
C*s men taking testosterone are abusing steroids. They have unhealthy excess.
Insane to see this and think its a "time to own the libs" moment.
Like you should be agreeing! You ahould be like, wow its fucked up this guy could get bail simply because he was able to get cash together! That decision should be made based on who is safe and who needs remand!
It is so cool how “””liberals””” drop all pretense of caring about rights, due process, criminal justice reform, etc anytime someone reports on one (1) unit of crime happening
When you post a racist cartoon by an actually full blown Likudnik level Palestine hater to epically own the VA who rejects Zionism and just doesn't want people to be held hostage
@Ian_Gay_briel
Genuine question why is it bad that 10 people thinking you are guilty can get you convicted but 2 more people thinking it means it isn't?
@datcravat
@venusian_doll
And they saw me talking about it and were super kind and supportive and like wow the hurt it did to them woke me the fuck up. I was never even like "anti" trans or anything but like that's when I learnt we need to be actively aggressively supportive of trans people or do harm...

Bitch it aint about "bad" or "Good" it's about you snarkily correcting my post whilst being wrong.
In the USA, you can only be tried once. In the UK, you can only be tried twice.
Being tried once is better, sure, but they can't just keep trying in the UK like was said.
the fact fire emblem fans are more mad about the example they gave not being “weird enough to count” and not the main point that fire emblem as a series has a blatant pattern of sexualising child characters for no reason is very telling btw
Ike isn’t real, unlike me. He can’t get hurt, unlike me. And now I am hurt and I don’t know what else to do other than apologize until people accept to see how much of a mess I am over this
You're so right! Antisemitism isn't a problem because I can just not wear any identifying Jewish garments.
Just like how transphobia and homophobia aren't a problem because my Fiancée and I can just go stealth and make sure we walk far enough apart we don't look like a couple!
As a southerner who was not really raised around Jewish people is hard for me to understand how Jewish people think everyone in the world can clock them as Jews. They just look like white folks unless they have on the hat or whatever.
This! 100% this. There *is* a male loneliness epidemic and its partially caused by patriarchal thinking that men NEED a woman to be that emotional relief and anchor.
Overcome your own internal bullshit and be a pillar of physical and emotional affection for your friends.
i don't mean to be rude but this sounds exactly like something they can solve themselves by hugging each other and making friends with each other and stuff?
To an extent, sure, but you have to draw a line somewhere, like when I hear people say games are racist or promoting pedophillia or something heinous like that I think its reasonable to at least ask why you'd fund that?
@Zorvyyy
@TrueSlazac
I mean, this is just any crime that requires intent as opposed to strict liability. Which is, AFAIK, most crimes in legislatures derived from English common law.
Mens rea is a basic building block of laws.
Rape is a very specific crime. The body is the crime scene. The victim cant leave the scene of the violation. The only complete escape for the victim is death. Victims live with it their whole lives. Perpetrators too should live with the burden of their crimes their whole lives.
@criticaltinkerr
@Owens_EFC
There is no allowance for "revenge" violence in law, and in the case of police there explicitly shouldn't be. The police need to be better than the rest of us.
fire emblem heroes i mean this sincerely. i am not playing FEH so i can see your OCs. i am playing feh so i can see fire emblem characters, from fire emblem games.
I still just feel it’s a very warped, broken mindset to think you’re some kind of traitor and opposed to the Palestinian cause if you view what happened on October 7th as a tragedy, and I have seen this view quite a few times.
If you think rehabilitation is for things you do accidentally you just straight up don't know what rehabilitation is.
If it was an accident what's to fucking rehabilitate the person doesn't want to do it!
Rape is the ONLY crime that you CANNOT do by mistake.
It is a deliberate, calculated and violent act.
If you have committed it, you cannot be rehabilitated.
@bitsofwords
I'm incredibly pale and white, yet I have Sephardic ancestry.
And to throw in another curveball, I am part of an Ashkenazi community, not a Sephardic one.
They really just aren't skin colours.
A lot of people misunderstand how Paladin oaths and powers work.
A Paladins power comes from their oath and is an *internal* thing (thus the Charisma). A cleric prays to a deity and that deity grants a miraculous boon.
A Paladin channels their power.
No oath, no power.
@Uglidoll2
@coolfest1999
I think it could go either way, like you're not wrong and I can see how you'd sing it beastie boys style but I can also map a Lin Manuel Marinda song onto it.
Hate posts like these cause if "gender affirming care" is just "I kind of want to look a bit different" like nose jobs or this weird height thing then it shouldn't be covered by insurance or Universal Healthcare like they aren't.
I actually think trans people deserve healthcare.
Look i understand how, if you have a certain kind of baggage, you could take this in a way it wasn’t intended, but it’s so depressing to watch these incel echo chambers feed each other the same insecurities that caused the misunderstanding in the first place
I like how really these two images are made by fundamentally the same process (taking something other people made and editing/manipulating it together) but one is supposed to be the morally clean version.
It's know the work rules but for using other people's ip lol.

@PetreRaleigh
Because meat has bones in it.
I'm not saying companies shouldn't be held to standards, but it's just a practical reality of food manufacturing that bones will sometimes remain, whether that's machined deboned food or by hand.
You need to be aware of that because you could die!
@Dollydealer
@BarristerSecret
For me there's two possible things to consider:
If the person you're defending is innocent, your defending them to the best of your ability is necessary for them to be found not guilty.
If the person you are defending is guilty, they can't be convicted without proper defence.
Being disabled is not a scam or red flag.
Every artist I have worked with that takes frequent health breaks (also side note artists deserve a decent work life balance even if healthy) has been 100% transparent BEFORE payment about it.
Being disabled is not a scam or a red flag.

You aren't entitled to stay on other's property. They aren't entitled to assault you if they do. Any sympathy I have for the landowner is lost when they show that they don't respect the law and the proper way to trespass someone from your land.
@auburn_flwers
Yup. It simply isn't how breaking a Paladin Oath works to lose what is, as described by the game, essentially a racial feat from her being essentially a demigod.
Either Selûne is being malicious (which would make no sense) or it is a bug.
It is NOT a function of oathbreaking.
