UK politics - not inspiring but effective
karaddin replied to BigFatCoward's topic in General Chatter
I looked at something on twitter and saw King Charles trending and was surprised to see its actually the conspiracies smoothly switching from Kate missing to Charles dead. We could package these up together, William decided he'd get immunity for killing Kate/that other guy I'm forgetting the name of if he's the King so offed dear old dad too. Potentially on St Patricks day no less! -
The sexual violence being increased (from an already somewhat high level in the books) was the thing that had me stop watching GoT in early S5 and that's the big one I hold against D&D as a result. I haven't read TBP but I have the impression that this is probably going to be safe on that front, so between that and having the full story already in book form rather than needing to write the ending themselves I'm hopeful this can pull it off.

I didn't know anything about Kingston's but had run through a similar scenario where it was Kate that he'd killed and actually wanted to ask you something as a result: If you were instructed to investigate William over something like this what would you do? Because I'm pretty sure the very next thing I did would be handing in my resignation lol -

That is a compelling counterpoint. -

The only thing that's making me think there's anything going on is the palace being weird when trying to convince people there's nothing going on. Did they fire Liz's people or something? I swear they were better at their jobs than this. -

I started this and immediately binged all the current episodes and I'm loving it. Anyone still smarting from Counterpart not getting a 3rd season should give this a try, it's a completely different premise but as of the 5th episode there's a few things scratching the same itch. -

The Uvalde investigation determining the cops followed policy there is about as damning of their policy as I can think of. Our policy is to be useless shits and that's what we achieved. -

I think it was another "The Volume" style set up? But with bonus green screen right behind the actors for the bending shots. I've got to say on the whole the Volume isn't working for me most of the time it's used. It has some merits, but the limitations it comes with seem to wind up outweighing the advantages most of the time. The Batman is the exception but that had more money to play with and did a lot with lighting separate from it. I don't think "lazy" is a reasonable critique for it, even for using the same music - I think that's based in believing that would work better for fans since the original score is great - even though that choice didn't work for me.

I don't think intent is part of the Australian racial discrimination act, just whether a reasonable person would view the speech as harassing/vilifying/intimidating groups xyz or something along those lines. Perhaps I'm misremembering as its quite a few years ago that I remember it being discussed and definitely not a lawyer, it could have been "whether a reasonable person would believe the intent was to <list of stuff>". I don't think "I was drunk" is the defense being used with respect to intent here though, I agree its a not a good one. -

Are you actually interested in understanding a potential rationale for what he said*, or is this point scoring in an argument? I don't agree with him on that so I'm not interested in defending it, but if the goal is understanding I can take a crack. *Was it ever confirmed those comments were definitely him? -

Bolded is what I would have thought and why I posted, the second bit does make sense though if this isn't actually indicative of the standard turn around on something like this. The year wait for the court booking still isn't good, but that's a pretty straightforward explanation of the courts being overburdened/insufficiently resourced. That's not even a question of the law though. I don't find what she said offensive, with the disclaimer that her general tone and demeanor could dramatically change how I'd feel about it, but that's the precarious nature of making most of your income from sponsorships. If you do something the sponsors don't like you'll lose them. The only reason I gave any weight to what I'd read on Reddit about it requiring intent was that the reporting indicated that a lack of intent was the defence her lawyers were going with, that seems a poor angle if that's not even a component of the charge.
