So true. I had a similar sensation when I had cancer a couple of years back. For the longest time, the doctors couldn’t diagnose what was wrong with me. On top of that, I had professional obligations that I had to handle even though I felt like shit.

What I found most unhelpful were people chiming in with advice, or…

When you’re driving around on the street, people may admire your car, but they probably aren’t going to go nuts and track you down at home. But when you publicly flaunt your vehicle on the internet it could be a different story, there are a lot of crazies on the interwebs. People could decide to come to your house,…

People can track you down through the minutest bit of data they can get on you, why hand people any more than you have to? To see your license plate, one has to be physically there, right next to you (well, behind you). That is not easy to do. And just because 100s of people have a certain piece of information about…

The original comment mentioned the inside of a person’s home.

Less than two minutes of googling brought me to this: www.carloft.de . The video seems to be filmed in Berlin, one of their developments is in Berlin and some of the pictures I found online look pretty much like the same setting. It’s not like there are tons of lofts with car-elevators in Berlin.

He naively said on a car site that routinely tracks down vehicles used in unsolved crimes through the sparest of evidence.

The pixellated license plate is the only thing that keeps me from stalking that 911.

I am with you on this. I see vehicles for sale on every platform on the internet with (name ridiculous item) placed to block the tag. Every day we are all passed by thousands of license plates, criminals are passed by that same number. What is the point in covering it online

It would be much harder to figure out where someone lives based on an interior photo.

Torque at the wheels, to be specific, but that’s a product of the horsepower from the engine and the gearing ratio.

First, no one is presuming guilt based on gender.

It’s the same issue but in reverse. Their point is that false rape accusations are rare. This means that, using your reasoning, it would be easy to presume that if someone is making rape accusations they are probably telling the truth.

That is precisely the reasoning used to claim men are necessarily guilty in these cases. Men are usually guilty in these types of cases so it is, apparently, safe to presume that this man must be too. That is deeply flawed reasoning. We are all deserving of the presumption of innocence... regardless of our genitalia…

I didn’t imply that it was. I was making an explicit claim about the underlying reasoning used in both cases.

To illustrate a little further... do you think it matters that black people in some communities are more likely to commit crimes? Does that inform your decision regarding their guilt when they are accused of a…

I’m suggesting neither of those things. I’m making an explicit claim about the underlying reasoning propped up as an excuse in both cases.

Let me illustrated further... you’re explicitly claiming that statistics matter (women don’t usually lie about being victimized by men, a true statement)... so you would also say,…

So no, no one is guilty until proven innocent, but statistically when a woman says she was abused by a man your best bet is to believe her. So I’m going to believe her, and express my belief by not participating in whatever projects Depp and Yates create, and encouraging other people to do the same.

Whatever makes you feel better. That is what really matters, right?

So... we’re just throwing that whole “innocent until proven guilty” thing right out of the window whenever the claim or charge is abuse of some form, huh?

I have a couple of innocent male family members we can start with whose vindictive exes made similar claims and since a claim is now apparently all we need to…

Wait... are people no longer innocent until proven otherwise, now? Yates is making a rather simple statistical claim about the veracity of multiple claims of wrong doing as weighed against a single claim of wrong doing. The presumption of innocence necessarily implies some level of skepticism regarding claims made on…

So, let me get this straight, Depp and Heard settled their divorce and each have moved on, but a bunch of people who have absolutely nothing to do with the situation and who the situation has no personal effect on do not feel sated, and as such the issue is not resolved until some form of public mob shaming is done to…
