Appealing to the slippery slope is itself a fallacy. "While this image may be insightful for understanding the character of the fallacy, it represents a misunderstanding of the nature of the causal relations between events. Every causa

Not at all! Courts are a joke. You still need to know the process, though. Images of police officers are not being used to convict CP charges.

I'm happy to have that discussion, I think it's critical and we need to update laws to protect privacy. You still don't get to be technically incorrect, though. You still need to know how courts work, if you want to participa

Yeah, which is irrelevant to the discussion. This thread is about photos of law enforcement and politicians used to convict people on CP charges. Let's stick to the topic of discovery and how courts work.

Do you know how discovery works in court? I'm guessing not. Once a hash matches, law enforcement would need a subpoena to access the raw image. If a person were to be arrested, that evidence would be turned over to the defense. It woul

Expressing preferences is great! Why do you equate that to whining, though?
77.
by midev 5y ago
Like I said, it's ok to have a preference. People that whine about it are toxic.

I've found the WFH debate to be a great proxy for finding people I definitely don't want to work with. Everyone has a preference. But in my experience, the people that whine the most about having to go to an office are generally t
