A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Even if we take into consideration that 90% (out of 25) could be lying (they aren't), that's still ~3 women he assaulted.

Edit: Damn y'all, thanks for that old internet feeling I keep coming back to Lemmy for. Not a girl in sight in these comments.

Is testifying under oath not considered evidence? There have been so many credible lawsuits against this guy for sexual assault. Honestly what are these files going to prove that we don't already have plenty of evidence for?

And lastly, do you have any idea what going after a rich powerful man for sexually assaulting you does to your life? Why the fuck would anybody put themselves through that if they weren't absolutely sure they had a credible case? Some of the plaintiffs in these cases had their lives and their family's lives threatened and disrupted.

Welp, to the bottom with me I suppose.

You wanted an example of where the accusations of rape directly led to ruined lives, and I gave you one.

Sure, in the example I gave the motive behind the accusations was racism, but the accusation was still about rape. The original commenter was pointing out that any and all accusations must be met with suspicion in order for "innocent until proven guilty" to function.

What that doesn't mean is that any and all accusations of rape should be dismissed because the accuser is a woman. There's a difference here

Should the police believe someone when they claim they've been raped and should the police investigate? Yes.

Should the police, court of law, court of public opinion believe a rape accusation purely because the accuser is a woman? No.

They should believe it long enough to investigate! That is what the saying means.

At this point I'm wondering if your National Reconnaissance Office mission patch profile pic is supposed to be ironic or not. It shouldn't take an intelligence officer to discover literally the sentence before the one you quoted.

And you're awfully active for an account created 5 hours ago. How's that for intelligence gathering

Got a 7 day ban from reddit for BE after making an alt to be safe from the ban-crazy mods. Decided to hop ship to something else.
