Or really, just ban the entire site altogether. Why do we need to gamble on all this stuff in the first place? It puts in a lot of perverse incentives and it's not good for our society. It's especially toxic in that it's advertised to our teenagers/young adults who's minds are not yet developed and struggle to make informed decisions.

Alcohol isn't good for our society, so let's ban it. Neither are cigarettes. Neither are Doritos, Tostitos, or any other itos. Same with chips. High in fat and cholesterol. Certainly they aren't good either. While we're at it, let's ban cocaine, methamphetamine, ketamine, marijuana and all other such drugs.

... start a betting pool for how long Haim will be imprisoned?

In Israel, about the only thing which will put you in jail is killing the Prime Minister. Not raping prisoners until they bleed, not stealing someone's home from under them, not being filmed driving a bulldozer onto another nation's land and killing a citizen.

In fact, the Israeli army will even help you destroy someone elses crops.

As for Haim going to jail, not gonna happen in any situation.

Actual, flesh and blood, human beings actually bet on carnage and suffering ?

JFC the human race spawns some disturbingly fucked up pieces of putrid garbage.

Seriously, find these abominations and force-sterelize them all, along with their entire families and anyone who could potentialy perpetuate their genetic filth.

You have to understand, these are the same people who cheered and supported soldiers who raped a prisoner which was caught on video.

Those same soldiers had the charges dropped against them because, according to the court, "the video did not show abuse violent enough to merit a criminal conviction and had been improperly leaked to the media."

So there's your answer.

Just require 1 in person interview before hiring and the first day you have to come to the office and personally take the computer home.

I said the same thing in one of the stories posted on here about this issue, but apparently that's too difficult. People don't even want to work in the office. Why expect someone to come in for an interview?

Robots don't take away livings, they grant livings. It's called production, they produce stuff we can use. Do YOU take away someone's living when you do your job?

No, because I filled the open job the company had. If a robot takes my job and I no longer have a job, who are the robots producing stuff for if I can't buy it because they took my job?

"It's like, what was I doing here? And what was I doing there?

And this, kids, is why documentation is important. It doesn't matter if you think you'll never work on something again, if any maintenance needs done or updates or someone comes back twenty years later to see what you did, the documentation will tell you.

Now all you programmers can go about your business and ignore this bit of common sense.

a very experienced person with law and law-language trying to poke holes in a person's story who might or might not be very experience.

Yes, that's the job of an attorney in cases such as this. Find holes in a person's story. No legalese is needed to ask if a person was at a location on a certain date and time. It's a yes or no question. Nor is legalese needed to explain your side of the story. You said you were doing Y and here's what I did.

Go watch My Cousin Vinny. The courtroom scene is used insome law schools for how a question and answer is done. You'll note there is no legalese present except for the voir dire part. Just simpe questions about what people supposedly saw.
