This is the International Red Cross. I haven’t heard bad things about them like I have about the American Red Cross.

“All of those people I ritually sacrificed to my gods were willing participants! Yes, they were previously prisoners of war, but they eagerly converted to my faith, repented their crimes, were released, and then volunteered their blood!

I think I’m missing some context, mind elaborating?

At the very least, this should have some sort of positive effect, right?

But yeah, otherwise we need to encourage more people to think critically about the media they consume AND the institutions spearheading humanitarian campaigns. 

*looks at my 502 hours played in Crusader Kings*

Yeah, it’s this exactly— like either make them pay this money and serve NO prison sentence, or do the opposite. Not both. It’s one of the huge failings of our carceral state where once a person is “rehabilitated” they have absolutely zero recourse or options to being accepted back into normal society most of the time,…

You want a lawyer who will do anything for you, but as a practicing lawyer, I can say that the ones who brand themselves as “attack dogs” or “slimey” and “badass” are, 100%, without a doubt, some of the most incompetent shitheels currently practicing. Those people are universally BAD LAWYERS who have BAD OUTCOMES for…

That’s the kind of advice people sitting in jail give you.

I said in a comment here a while back something to the effect that “any lawyer who says there is evidence that ‘proves’ his clients ‘innocence’ should be disbarred,” and a ton of people came for me like I spit on their grandmothers.

His lawyer is a moron.

Nintendo’s legal ethos IS petulant, petty, and cruel. Almost every stance they’ve taken on fair use, monetization on YouTube, use of their games at tournaments, public exhibition, etc. are regressive and draconian.

I have to wonder... compared to the $10 mil, how much money have game publishers (like Nintendo) stolen via wage theft, over a period of 7 years.
Just an idle thought.
Yes specifically I know of Nintendo’s reputation with regards to execs taking pay cuts to shield *regular* employees. I also know their reputation for…

Just another stupid way of punishing people, as it’s been stated. It’ll be impossible for him to pay this during his life time unless he wins the damn lottery or something.. So it’s way more likely he’ll turn to crime again just to make ends meet without loosing 25-30% of each paycheck.

There’s no “seems” about it. It is.

Team Xecuter specifically was known for being predatorial. They sold hardware in places such as Latin America (where I happen to be from) and preyed upon people who thought it’d just let them play Switch games for free, instead, their hardware was ransomware that would brick your Switch if you didn’t pay a monthly…

That is so fucked up. How do they even justify that amount, is what I’d like to know. And what clownass judge let them get away with demanding more in restitution than simply paying back whatever money he’d made from the venture? I seriously doubt—if they’d set restitution at $350k—his prospects for paying that off…

Sir, you don’t understand. He took MONEY. From RICH people.

Esp when the profit was 320K over 7 years, that’s barely over minimum wage? Wonder if he can declare bankruptcy over it

This man committed a crime and confessed to it. There’s no debate there, and he served an appropriate amount of time behind bars.

I think if it were heavier, an adhesive wouldn’t be enough to stick.
