Does this confirm that giraffes are brown with yellow lines, rather than yellow with brown spots? This could be huge for the giraffe community.

I am not sure how this relates at all to the “justice system”, however. Are private organizations only allowed to part ways with an employee because they committed crimes? This is not really about “guilt” that can be proven or disproven in a court case, and there are already mechanisms in place for people to be compensated if they can show that they were unfairly treated or if contracts were violated.

It wasn’t a fully formed proposal, honestly. You make a very good point.

Alternative take: Piracy is, at worst, morally neutral, and does not have a significant adverse effect on the profits of the people who produce media.

Calm down.

It’s so cute!

If Reddit had been any indication, the debate around Roiland’s culpability seems to polarize around the idea that since the charges were dropped he evidently must not have been guilty, and the idea that even though the charges were dropped, we have, through sheer coincidence, just now decided that his various past behaviors warrant immediate cancellation anyway (and that he’s totally guilty no matter what, either way).

I feel like the justice system needs to evolve in a way that protects people against social ostracism of this sort, should they turn out innocent. Even if Roiland himself is truly guilty, the fact that we live in a system where someone else who is innocent could feasibly end up in similar circumstances is unacceptable in a society as connected as ours.

This is your world on late-stage capitalism.

Paying for her cab fare home sounds reasonably polite.

I think they make a good point, regardless.

Elaborate.

When not even the companies take these massive documents seriously, it’s clear that we need to rethink how this all works.

That’s not great, but I don’t think it would be utterly terrible.

Anxiety issue tbh

That is a fair point. But, on the other hand… More holidays for everyone would also be great!

You will own nothing, and you will be happy.

Surreal Iran W. If only the United States followed suit with this.

I suspect your story is not unusual. Piracy is, at worst, a morally neutral action.

I found this extraordinarily unhelpful article:

Many dogs, including Labradors, were specifically bred to retrieve certain items for their human owners.

I guess precisely what those objects were was not of paramount importance to the author.

But I also found this, which suggests the answer is no:

Whether it was fetching ducks, birds or other game, these dogs knew their job. They were also bred for an attribute known as ‘soft mouth’, a combination of physical traits and attitude that meant they could carry the game without damaging it. If you have a retriever, you’ve probably noticed how gentle they can be during fetch.
