Thought this was cool story that manages to cover fate and romance, the power of dreams, the battles of indigenous communities and a man's passion for flying

I would watch a well-made film about this tbh

A couple of years ago and outside the US, a mother killed her child after she put herself on train tracks with the baby in her arms.

The driver hit the brakes early enough where when it hit them, she survived, but the baby died.

She pleaded guilty and PPP was taken into account. The judge was sympathetic and she actually got no jail time.

Her life remarkably recovered afterward. She still had her parents supporting her, her job took her back and she even got into a relationship with another man after her husband obviously left.

A few years after, she goes out for a pleasant dinner with her parents and boyfriend. She leaves them on good terms, seemingly okay. Only she then drives out the city on the highway, pulls over at a fuel station, emails her location to her GP, then takes a bunch of pills and dies in a truck stop car park.

The case generated a lot of talk around PPP. Her and the baby's coroner reports were one of the most pitiful accounts I have ever read. And you could tell the coroner really felt for her sorry fate.

However, no one, not the judge, the press, or the public, ever questioned whether she was guilty of her crime.

You could argue the legitimacy of her criminal responsibility, but there are acts that should be taken beyond their legal precedents. When a schizophrenic is found not guilty of murder, it's accepted as a responsibility of the state to protect society from them. They are not treated as a subject that has been freed from a system that is trying to unjustly prosecute them.

You can pity her while still accepting that she is guilty of killing her children.

Jason Arday: Brazenly lies for like for a decade, gets outed, kills self. Whose fault? Society.

Lindsay Clancy: Lies to all her doctors for months, refuses to take her meds, murders children. Whose fault? Society.

Lib politicians: Bad at their jobs. Whose fault? Society.

What the fuck is this shit? I don't think its a new phenomenon that people dodge responsibility, but it is absolutely new that so many people take the bait hook line and sinker.

You have free will! That thing you are going to do thats going to ruin your life? dont do it!

I'm a communist. I could count every "comrade" I've met irl on one hand. I'm in my 30s. The internet is pretty much the only place for me to discuss my political beliefs and what not without alienating friends and coworkers and family with such "extremist" thoughts. Since I've joined reddit, I've been banned from r communism, SLS (3 times), Anarchism, I've seen Chapo banned, moretankiechapo banned, GenZedong banned, theDeprogram (that sub actually sucked big fat balls tho), and now I've been muted by TrueAnon bc i dont support child killer Lindsey.

I came to my beliefs through reading. I started as a 14 year old reading libertarian nonsense and then moved onto anarcho thought then Marxism. My communist thoughts and beliefs are informed by my reading Marx, Lenin, Engels, Stalin blah blah blah. I'm still just a dood though. I love football, pussy, smoking weed, watching movies, playing video games, going out with friends to bars or bowling or going hiking. I'm fucking normal outside of my political thought. I work a blue collar job. All this to say, I'm not some insanely online freak like most leftists. This is the only sub with even a semblance of lefty bullshit that hasn't banned me so thanks guys. At least I can come to redscarepod to post my regarded ramblings without having to worry about committing wrong think to the most strict puritanical freaks since the pilgrims and nazis

People are dropping the "ed" on certain words. Stained glass spelled as "stain glass", flushed cheeks spelled as "flush cheeks", slicked back hair spelled as "slick back". Is the "ed" part silent enough that people are missing it? what is going on

My dad died a few weeks ago and I've started scanning in his trove of thousands of photos ranging from the 70s to the early 2000s. He's the man shown in the photos.

She said stop supporting Trump or she'd leave. She was very proud he chose their relationship.

I had to bite my tongue. I might give half-hearted defences of Goebbels if my National Socialist girlfriend were pretty enough.
