Facts matter.

The fact is that while we know Trump raped at least one woman and it was proven in court, and we have every reason to believe he raped more (as well as children) he has not been CONVICTED of rape in court. And we should take care to state these facts correctly.

With that said, I have zero compunctions about stating that he raped women and children as facts. If he hadn't raped children he certainly would have sued about it.

We're going to go back to a model where we only trust word of mouth, because any other way of discovering things is too fraught.

The clever way to technically enable this would be through a cryptographically backed web of trust layer which could be applied to the top of web browsers, news readers, and email clients to provide trust scores.

There seems to be little interest in providing this. There's no money in it since nobody will trust such a system if it's monetized. So the community will have to do it. I don't really see another way forward that doesn't basically amount to giving up on self-discovery.

Why would she need to move to a different neighborhood?

Because she knows for sure that the policing is shit in her neighborhood? She knows for sure that the police will go off half-cocked and fuck up her life with assistance from the shittiest towing outfit in the city, which they contracted with because they would work for bottom dollar? Because every time she walks past where she was parked she has to think about the abusive policing she was subjected to?

This whole story sounds fishy from the start anyway.

He has a conviction for sexual abuse, not rape.

He wasn't actually convicted of that either, but the judge was clear, what he did was rape. (See sibling comment.) He also has a history of making settlements when he was accused of sexual assault; these also do not constitute a legal admission of guilt, but if you don't think he did those rapes but paid for them anyway, grow the fuck up.

Did the politicians YOU voted for before that, the party you support, hold ALL the power to release the files and prevent future victims of molestation?

No, stupid fucking coward maggot child rape enthusiast. Those files were sealed by a judge, and Democrats respect judicial decisions, unlike rapeublicans.

Nice straw hobgobblins you have created for yourself there. Education loans help everyone, education helps everyone.

No. Education grants help everyone. Education loans help the corporations that service the loans. Joe Biden led an effort in congress to make education unaffordable by making it impossible to default on student loans. This led to pushing more student loans so that corporations could get more interest payments. He then ran on ever-decreasing amounts of forgiveness for all borrowers (starting at $150,000, a promise originally made on his campaign page) before watering this down to $50,000 and then $15,000, which was eventually granted to less than 50% of borrowers. That was a successful bipartisan attack on education and the middle class. Anyone who still thinks education loans are good when we used to have education grants instead and the boomers rugpulled that (even the late boomers didn't get it!) is obviously a product of a failed public education system. You're celebrating your own abuse.

Why not here? Because for starters, humanism isn't a religion (and I say that as a humanist). It's a philosophical stance within atheism.

Religion is a philosophical stance that you should believe unproven ideas because someone in power said so, and they make you feel better about eventually dying. There's no reason why it should give someone rights over not being religious. If it's valid to say you need to be able to wear a funny hat at work because you have positive beliefs about religion, it's exactly equally valid for me to say I cannot be in the presence of funny hats because I have negative beliefs about it.
