Are people really so dumb they believe that's a decision directly form the police department? No wonder you suck at elections...
Is this 4chan now?
I feel the issue of false accusations is only brought up when it is a woman falsely accusing a man of rape. No other type of false accusation gets that much attention, it's own Wikipedia page, multiple blogs, etc. etc.
I would like someone to make a study about how much false rape accusations are talked about on social media like Reddit, Lemmy, etc. in comparison to, for example, rape cases that never get any conviction. Or convictions for rape that got laughable sentences.
For some time it was. People wrote longer, more elaborate posts and were overall a lot less aggressive.
I only lurked on a smaller Lemmy instance before the great Reddit exodus, but even in the first few months when people started pouring in, it still was like that. It became more and more like Reddit over time.
I wonder what exactly makes internet communities turn like that. What is the connection between having more people in one (online) space and it starting to get more and more toxic?
You also wouldn't be able to post about an actual rape case from 13 years ago and get 600+ upvotes. People aren't interested in that.
They exploited the communication feature and are basically acting as one huge server wide guild of jobless arseholes having nothing better to do than ruining the fun for everyone else all day long.
RuneScape, Ark, ... DOTA2 (especially with that cry for help).
Some people get lost for thousands of hours in grand-strategy games like Europa Universalis. Or MMOs like Eve Online.
But feeling like the game consumed you is grinder and MOBA territory.
What a dishonest bs. It's not the scientists who communicate these dumbed down "theories", it's journalists and trivial science books and shows.
Makes me loose all respect for the author.
At the university where I studied professors were constantly talking about what we don't know. Formulated every theory extremely carefully, there was no "it is like that". What kind of scientists is he talking about?
Katsura da!
You actually believe the solution is that there are no police officers? And that would help poor people?
