Although Serbian law allows prison sentences of up to 12 years for human trafficking – the penalty sought by prosecutors – the court opted for a shorter term. In its reasoning, it cited “all circumstances,” including the defendant’s family status.

Family status is exactly the kind of thing the law should be blind to. It is completely inmaterial to the crime or punishment. Should have gotten the maximum sentence.

And after the war USA nudged Japan right with anything they could think of for good measure, to shape it in their own image.

Now don’t be so negative, the number of lives this will improve in the world may be up to three digits.

Well if it is was that one he’s a complete piece of shit if he got Republicans.

Filled the quiz and treating people with the bare minimum of their constitutional rights still tilts heavily Democrat.

Well if he really wanted he could sign blanket pardons like his predecessor, though obviously rank and file need not apply.

I really do not care about the specific excuse christians use to excuse being hateful bigots.

The objective is that when you champion pointless torture you’re for torture, you’re just thinking you stop at the right point. You’re no better than a bigot who only hates a certain nationality. As long as circumsion is legal this isn’t a moral stance, it is a cultural preference, bigotry.

And you’re a piece of shit who champions child mutiliation of your own free will. A born monster just like him.

Plenty of them have, for the last century America has just swooped in to install a dictatorship favorable to them anyway if they couldn’t sabotage progress beforehand.

The American flavor of freedom did spawn NAMBLA as an out and proud organization.

Well they wouldn’t want to be politicians if they couldn’t be corrupt shits in it to line their own pockets and hurt people they dislike. Of course they don’t understand why someone would work for the goverment for any other reasons.

? They are Christians. Christianity actually is mostly like that.

For Dummies? That’s ableist. Then again I don’t think the presses will cool before whatever new word they choose is done going trough the euphemism treadmill.

Google Photos be like bet you certainly don’t want pictures you’ve recently taken or downloaded on the front page. Like what the hell if you don’t give me folders at least offer me the most likely things I’d want to do things with up front.

I wonder if it is the IT magic. Recently I needed a group to fill a table with values from a test that produced a radar chart. Click on the point, get a numeric value, not too hard. The only complication was that it was a “totally legally disctinct”-test so translated differently and truncated from the proper test. So I worked out translations and a table in order.

My instructions was that you start at 9 o’clock and fill in the table clockwise.

Cue constant question regarding translations and where whatever value should go, while I had done the work and all they needed to do was follow a simple instruction to fill it out as directed. I did that work for them, I don’t even remember the translations, that’s why you should follow the simple instruction.

Group of all ages, just somehow unable or unwilling not to try and express themselves in that was supposed to be 30 seconds of data entry.

Phones are aggressively hostile to any file management. Many apps just straight up don’t give control of actual directories to end users. Manually modifying the directories of software at all is effectively hidden under an exploit and outside legacy ported software it is hard to meaningfully change anything even that way.

So I would not blame youngsters that don’t have personal computers. Mobile OS obscure the use and neuter the potential of learning the file system, there are massive hurdles for fringe benefits, completely different from especially PC use in our time where this was fundamental knowledge and enabled doing all kinds of interesting and useful stuff.

Trump would have won a straight up popular vote for this term.

Funnily gaslighting wasn’t really a big independent job. In London where there were actually enough public gaslights for it to be an endeavour policemen who were walking around the streets at the crack of dawn and setting of the sun anyway were often made to do this while at it. And several other minor tasks like waking up subscribing citizens, it was good that those patrols weren’t typically busy in regards of actual policing.

So professional gaslighters, not much of a thing, their poor reputation very much a thing.

If deployed in significant numbers those skills are almost as useful in a modern military as a century or two before. An Ukrainian or the Russian soldier didn’t need those skills in the barracks or having guard shifts in well supplied garrisons, but it is sure nice to know now.

Well yes, because all of those are certificates of auxiliary training befitting a soldier.
