They simply do not pursue a case if they don't have water tight case. […] That is where you are misinformed.
Ah, I understand what you're saying, and you're right: the articles I've read recently (and over the years) never made that distinction. What you're saying explains why the stats point to victims seemingly being less favored in these cases. Appreciate you taking the time to spell that out, and so patiently.
P.S. My RES tag shows me that about 7 years ago I gilded one of your comments about Japan. That was on a now-ditched account, but it's funny how all these years later we've met again in a completely different thread. :)
Keep being awesome! 👍
OP, just wanted to empathize with you because the way new.reddit.com
works for me has been hit or miss for quite some time.
Using Firefox on both Windows & Mac OS, new reddit will sometimes load with a borked layout - which looks like the CSS (stylesheet) didn't fully load. This makes the layout itself almost unnavigable.
I found that going directly to https://new.reddit.com
and waiting for everything to load solves the issue - and then other subs on new reddit will load without issue afterwards. Hope that helps you in some way.
P.S. New reddit will be axed later on this year, so when you have problems with new reddit again, you might want to try https://sh.reddit.com
(which is going to completely replace new reddit down the line).
they only go forward if they are absolutely sure to win.
Assurance of a win is not a sign that due diligence was done to implicate an accused person beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Laughing out loud because it's 8 seconds of an intro that gets your hopes up,
but then…
Whingers will whinge about terms that refer to marginalized groups though those terms do not affect the whingers' lives.
The absolute cleanliness and public decorum? Yes please.
However, the stigma surrounding r*pe survivors and their treatment by law enforcement; the 99.9% conviction rate that persists due to the accused not being treated as "innocent until proven guilty"; blatant bigotry against outsiders, et cetera, are all big nopes.
If there's a video of him getting even a nibble of the baked chicken, I need to see it.
Jessica, they know; they just don't want to acknowledge it.
I have a strong feeling that people in this thread are attributing certain characteristics towards anyone who brings up 'echo chambers' (due to the types of subs in which that phrase was often used by hateful individuals to 'cry victim') - though those perceived attributes don't apply.
As I said a moment ago here, I've witnessed the same silencing of ideas when fighting against the rampant bigotry on this site - and I'm talking about doing so in the most generic of subs.
Once again, the echo chamber effect that exists throughout reddit is not, nor has it ever been restricted to specific subs; it occurs in the comment sections in subs where you'd least expect it. For those that didn't want to address another point that came up earlier in this thread which they didn't like, I'll say it again:
Sub-wide karma does NOT always consider site-wide karma; you can have a million points but still have your comments collapsed (therefore hidden) in the sub where your account dipped below that sub's requirement - and yes, fighting bigotry can land you in the same bucket as the bigots.
Sometimes, the people who are considered to have "obnoxious posts unpopular opinions" are the ones fighting AGAINST hate and bigotry - in generic subs that were never dedicated to those topics.
All it takes is to address a single so-called "joke" that denigrates a specific, marginalized group before being bombarded with, "Lighten up!" or "Grow a thicker skin!" and next thing you know, the visibility of your comments is virtually nil because your account no longer meets that sub's karma requirement.
Yes, lol! You see that little eye a-peepin' at the journalist around 15 seconds into the video. :D
According to The Washington Post, the elephant's name is Kindani, who was 4-years-old when the recording was captured in 2022. She was rescued in 2018.

I made this effect with the FadeWorkS script: https://i.imgur.com/1kAsfqt.mp4
You can get it here - http://unanimated.github.io/ts/scripts-manuals.htm#fade
If you need help with the script, let me know. It's pretty easy to use.
Handbrake can encode .ass files with effects. If you want to add the .ass file to Handbrake, use version 1.3.0 or higher.
Older versions of Handbrake (below 1.3.0) will burn .ass files with the effects (like karaoke, etc.,) but only if the .ass file is embedded in a .mkv file.
Whoa, that is so fascinating! If you find that show again, please let me know where I can see it.
During my search to find it, I ended up down a rabbit hole and learned an interesting fact:
African savanna elephants have about 63,000 neurons in the part of their brain that controls facial movement. Humans only have about 8,000 to 9,000.

I think you can watch it on YouTube
Right, I already said, "the whole movie is on youtube!" 🤪
"…and your little face, too!"
Right, I'm aware of dust bathing. :) That's why I wondered if their apparent coloring was from the soil or if it's their natural color.
Lol, I just looked this up and the whole movie is on youtube! Anyway, found that scene, so thanks for the title! I have to watch the whole thing now.
You know what… if a compilation video of multiple baby elephants pranking him is ever released, the internet will never stop laughing.
Also, I need that video RIGHT NOW. 😍
Their color is really unusual to me, too. I saw a pic from the same elephant shelter - https://i.imgur.com/YOvdoDl.jpg - and it looks like the elephants are very similar in color to the soil. Made me wonder if they covered themselves in the soil or if that's their natural coloring.
Source for the image above is from the Amboseli National Park website, and it was taken in the same shelter as featured in the video, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust In Nairobi.
I nominate the imagery from this post to be /r/NatureIsFuckingLit's official banner.
Mods, please make this happen.
Lol, what is this from?
Such a perfect word. This is why I appreciate the ever-evolving nature of language.
Aww! Your comment is lovely, too. Thank you! 🥰
