[Eric Cartman]

From a thread about two twats who chopped down an old tree

They've been found guilty of two counts of Criminal Damage each, and the "value" of the damage they caused is agreed by all parties to be "at the top end of the range of harm caused".

Those found guilty of criminal damage with a value of more than £5,000 can face a maximum of 10 years imprisonment, according to the Sentencing Council, external, which promotes transparency and consistency in criminal sentencing.

However, longer prison terms are only considered when the guilty party is found to have a high level of culpability and their actions caused serious distress and harm.

It's completely within current sentencing guidelines for them both to get the full 10 years imprisonment for what is a heinous crime that has caused nigh incalculable financial and emotional damage.

They've shown zero remorse or contrition at any point. There are no mitigating circumstances beyond the possibility that one of the guilty pair may be suffering from some sort of mental health issue.

Suggesting this is some nothingburger worthy of only a slap on the wrist is not the enlightened moral or legal position you think it is.

Great, then they may get a sentence longer than rapists. Fantastic.

 

WTF.

With the way the people in our countries are (i.e. the public), there's actual bloodlust without much thinking about what it means because both sides are so convinced that they will steamroll the other side without taking any damage. We don't know when to stop unless someone intervenes.

Of course the most likely candidate to intervene that both sides would listen to and has historically in the last, is currently headed by a bunch of clowns that won't do anything.

"We want the USA out of our politics!!!"
also
"Please stop the war, USA daddy!!"


EDIT:
Things getting heated in this thread. Bdumbs will have to shut this down too because there is no clear side Era can take right now because the fighting is between brown people.  

When Era doesn't have a clear "Good" side to pick, things get confusing for the children's TV show watchers.

[killamajig]

ResetEra is like most dictatorships, they need a "bad guy" to make their bullshit more palletable. Era is having a hard time making Pakistan the hero of this story.

Mate, am chilling here, thank you for your concern. And thank you for going ahead and probing my personal history for me and laying it out here. Am unsure how germane that is for this discussion, so if you are insinuating something, at least be upfront about it. For the record, I have been a lurker on this forum ever since the split from Neogaf happened and decided to become a member so as to participate in this discussion. And for the record, no, I did not 'make an account just to post in this thread', nor am I a Modi supporter, so you may kindly get off your high horse with your unfounded assumptions. Unless you are an official moderator on this forum, I am unaware that new members are either prohibited from, or have to pass some rite of passage, before making posts on this topic.

And it is clear from your post that you have not bothered actually going through any of my posts. Request if you can cite from any portions of my posts to support your assertion that apparently, my 'views are focused on the defense of Modi'. For the record, I was calling out a post for citing unverified information, and being hyperbolic on certain claims and that was made clear in my last post. If that was a crime, am sure some moderator can feel free to call me out on it.

And by the way, I am certain that Neha does not need you as a white knight to stand up and post on her behalf. From her posts, she can clearly stand up and speak for herself and we had a civil discussion, so am unclear why you are derailing this thread.

Of course what the thread needs now is Nep's expert analysis on the situation

She won't. The mods have never been able to ideologically mod the India threads because it's too confusing to easily put sides on the usual oppression lader. There are no white people involved. There are muslims, but they've long been a US ally. Also did you know the indian state of Kerala is ruled by communists? Based, right?
Nep has probably rummaged wikipedia pages about India-Pakistan relations, and still can't decide who are the good guys.

You can't see how clueless the mods are by the fact that no one has been banned yet in that 12-page thread, which is completely unusual for a current event thread about two sides going at each other.

I've gone through leadership training for various jobs, and I came across this older article that reminded me of some of that and how it relates to mods on ResetEra. 

https://www.forbes.com/sites/lizryan/2015/11/25/the-five-characteristics-of-fear-based-leaders/

I don't believe there's a manager anywhere who would say "I manage my team through fear." They have no idea that they are fear-based managers -- and no one around them will tell them the truth!

Nobody thinks they're a fear-based leader, and yet there are fear-based managers everywhere.

People misunderstand what the term "fear-based manager" means. It's true that these managers wield a big stick and use it to club their employees into submission. They use fear to control people instead of trusting their teammates and inspiring them to do great things.

Yet the term "fear-based manager" doesn't only refer to the fact that these lousy managers threaten their employees and keep them on edge in order to keep them compliant and docile. The term "fear-based manager" refers to the manager's own fears, as well.

The reason so many managers treat their employees as badly as they do and keep them in line with unnecessary rules, policies and punishments is that the managers themselves are in a state of fear. They don't know who they are behind the business card.

Their professional identity is their only source of personal power, and they more than anyone else in their sphere know how fragile that power is.

They don't feel whole and healthy. They don't have the self-esteem to build anyone else up and make the people who work for them feel strong and capable.

You can easily see how fearful people put into management positions would not only devote their lives to pleasing their 'superiors' by becoming almost machinelike in their devotion to the structure of business -  the rules and punishments and obsessive measurement - but also take pride and almost delight in treating their employees like dirt.

The false sense of bureaucratic power conferred on them by higher-level managers becomes a substitute for self-esteem. Healthy people grow their muscles throughout life, but unhealthy, fearful managers get their fake self-esteem by hitting the marks that other people tell them to hit.

The traditional top-down business framework substitutes made-up and often arbitrary goals (and associated punishments and rewards) for authentic muscle-building that comes from inside, the personal growth that healthy people develop naturally by trying new things and learning from their experiences.

That's why fearful managers can get pretty high up in organizations without having any self-esteem at all except the phony kind that other people bestow on them.

Hello, a thread of mine was locked while I was a sleep last night, but there is no reason given for why it was locked which I've not seen before. Is that normal?

[Taco Bell Tower]

Admins and mods are used to Echos making embarrassing threads to where Echos always requests backfired threads so likely assumed Echos was gonna request the locked thread they're gonna cry about.

Just report and move on. It is quite clear this is an alt, and I have reported it as such. Mods can decide what to do here since this poster continues to derail the thread. This account even accused me of being a "White Knight" because the poster I was talking about was a female.

Abby has been through so much by the end of the game. People voting to kill her should do a psych eval lol.

Ask the same forum if they support the real world killing of a heath insurance CEO.  Somehow they root for that but would be sad if Abby were killed.

At first, Jazz’s surgery seemed to have gone fine, but soon after she said experienced “crazy pain.” She was rushed back to the hospital, where Dr. Jess Ting was waiting. “As I was getting her on the bed, I heard something go pop,” Ting said in an episode of “I Am Jazz.” Jazz’s new vagina  — or neovagina, as surgeons say — had split apart.

My rudimentary understanding of vaginas says that they're meant to split apart. Therefore it was working as intended? 

Only the best ones pop when they do, though.

It's okay, they're one of the "good ones" like how it's not sex slavery:

Despite a Jan. 21 memo from the federal Dept. of Justice directing U.S. attorneys to crack down on state and local officials seen as uncooperative with immigration enforcement, Barnstable County Sheriff Donna Buckley’s office will not participate in a 287(g) contract or any other voluntary agreement that deputizes her staff as immigration officers, she told the Independent last week.

Buckley, who was elected sheriff in 2022, campaigned on ending the office’s 287(g) contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Those agreements authorize state and local law enforcement agencies to interrogate and lodge official detainers against people suspected of immigration violations and to access ICE databases to determine the immigration status of people in custody.

The Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office was the last sheriff’s department in New England with an active 287(g) agreement when Buckley ended it on her first day in office in January 2023.

“I have complete respect for the role that ICE plays,” Buckley said last week. “My decision to end the 287(g) agreement was not an indictment of the work that they do; it was related to the operational capacity of the sheriff’s office.

When inmates are booked into the county jail, the sheriff’s office is notified if ICE has issued a detainer for that person, Buckley said. The current policy of the sheriff’s office is to notify ICE when that person is ready to be released.

That notification would take place whether ICE had proactively asked about that person’s release date or not, Buckley said. “We are doing it in both circumstances,” she said. “We did that before the 287(g) agreement existed, and we will continue to share appropriate law enforcement information with ICE.”

After speaking with reporters last week, the sheriff’s office sent a clarifying statement to the Independent. “We will, to remove any ambiguity concerning the legal responsibilities of our officers, respond to DHS/ICE informational investigative inquiries in the same manner as we do for all law enforcement partners, including providing DHS/ICE with information concerning an already incarcerated individual’s scheduled release from BCSO custody,” the statement said.

“We communicate with ICE when we have an ICE detainer on file when individuals are leaving our facility. That is all they are requesting from us,” Buckley wrote.

Buckley also said that a very small number of people in the jail are subject to detainers — as of Feb. 3, five of the 270 people imprisoned there.

Scroll down, Echos failed us but others are taking up the baton:

The thing is I assume that the versions of these characters won't be the main canon versions of DC and Marvel. So whatever we do with these characters won't matter unless its an alternative universe thing.

If it does count as canon, then I would like to put Cheetah and Wonder Woman (please let her be lesbian for fucks sake DC)

Make them Queer or Trans so the chuds get angry

I bet you if Abby's crime was being a homophobe or transphobe they'd be so incredibly mad at the videogame asking the player for forgiveness.

A personal one for me is Wonder Woman, mostly to address a bit of pet peeve.
...
I'd instead move their island into the middle of the Black Sea so it's near where the actual historical town was (why do so many assume Themiscyra was made-up... And an island, is it just because of DC Comics?)

For a guy obsessed with canon he doesn't know the Wonder Woman canon. They fled man's world for the island and named it after the city they fled.

It's also not a real island that went missing, it's some other dimensional god shit.

Also comic authors generally don't understand geography very well, it's typically depicted like it's out in the middle of the Atlantic away from everything. Which considering it's an island made by gods and designed to never be found by humans may have been a reasonable place to put it. It's rarely explained what in the fuck Steve Trevor was doing and where when he lands on it. (Which considering it may or may not have been something done by the gods specifically to bring Diana to man's world may not matter.)

Lastly, at this point there's like six different Amazon tribes or some shit so it's only the original depictions of them that fit his complaint, a more Black Sea or Turkish tribe could easily fit into the existing canon but the dude wants to overwrite the original for his personal interest instead of adding to it of course.

edit: AND ANOTHER THING, Diana is bisexual in the DC canon. She's commonly depicted as having wlw relationships, especially while on the island. It doesn't get attention because it's been done so many times. Speaking of Echos fetishes, she's ascended to godhood (and therefore become a GODDESS) I don't know how many times.

Speaking of the Wonder Woman canon and trans fetishes. Typically in the canon, something awful will happen if a man sets foot on their island. All the Amazons will die, the apocalypse, maybe just the men will die, whatever. But in the Nubia comic not too long ago there was a brave and stunning trans woman on the island and everybody spent time talking about how they're a woman. 

Checkmate, Joanne, your bigoted fears and hate to promote genocide were debunked by data and science yet again.

Sounds like somebody put the cart before the horse.

back taxes and fees: $59,075 (assuming I can correct an inaccurate audit from 2019)
credit debt currently in collections: $18,957.93
loans from loved ones: $9,331.25
total: $87,364.18

If you have back taxes you either own property or have had some level of income...

Looked at his channel. Good number of views in the 150k-400k range with a couple bigger outliers but he puts out about 2-6 videos/year. No livestreams.

Doesn't seem like he tried very hard to be a YouTuber.

His Patreon also sits at 3k per month. Wonder if he reported that income. All in all it looks like they guy had a pretty comfy gig but somehow messed it up big time. 
Though his go fund me is already at 50k so no worries for him I guess

Update, the GoFundMe is now at 140k.

People really have nothing better to do with their money
