    I just can’t believe his cognitive dissonance.

    I think your father thought about this for a long time. And concluded: His love for you is unconditional. He puts that above any and all belief he ever held or will hold.

    Maybe he’ll start to look at other things a bit differently, too.

    Maybe you’re making his life a bit more beautiful.










  • Someone once explained it to me.

    Some think the law should describe illegal behaviour. And that the law should apply the same to everyone. Those people are a minority.

    What happens in practice is that most people just want to be able to punish people they don’t like. So they don’t mind overly broad, generic laws, as in their mind it will only be used against the other. Especially in (former) high-trust societies.

    And in practice the selective enforcement can work for a long, long time, too. Until a shift of power occurs, and the same laws are enacted just as selectively, but directed differently. Then they surprise pikachu.





  • In Denmark, the “right of integrity means that even in cases where you are allowed to make use of a work, you are not allowed to change it or use it in a way or in a context that infringes the author’s literary or artistic reputation or uniqueness,” a resource for Danish researchers noted.

    Infringes reputation is so sooo broad. It comes down to who does the judge like the most, no? Reddit mods will always be way down on the list, as the judicial inclined tend to be technologically illiterate.

    Also, the reddit mod is not jailed. In most of europe “prison” sentences like this are conditional sentences.
