Yeah, but not worse than just “bad”, whereas “evilness” sounds worse compared to just “evil.”
My point is that it might not the most colloquial of English use, but MLK Jr didn’t exactly speak vernacular either.
So just because something sounds a tad off doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong. And in a lot of cases it’s the opposite, because languages just keep evolving.
I thought exactly that. Opened the post, upvoted this thread.
However couldn’t not Google it, and it may be on purpose.
evilness
noun
evil·ness
: the quality of being evil : badness
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evilness
While it does sound better with just “evil”, I wonder if they wished to exactly convey that what is being created is the quality of being evil in some people. All in all, that goes under the umbrella of evil, sure. But if we replace “evilness” with “badness”, it no longer sounds worse than the alternative, just “inequality creates bad”. Ofc you can’t compare directly like that, I’m just trying to make the point that black civil activist haven’t historically been that bad at language use, so perhaps we’re just feeling the more colloquial version but that this may be prescriptively better, idk.

Two day old account doing a little “look look Ukraine is doing something I’ll imply is bad.”
Many of them falsely think that Santa Claus lives on the north pole
Hehe. Dummies. He obviously lives at Ear Fell, every Finn knows that.
Nr 4 sounds just like tobacco companies questioning if smoking causes cancer.
Yes, I think it is. But not the one where he actually does become the ECH?
The Doctor has added a daydreaming protocol and some aliens who have an AI overlord (they can’t do anything without asking it first) manage to survey the Doctors daydreams but not the inside of Voyager, so they believe the Doctors daydreams to be real.
I think Voyager’s more musical episodes (and Robert Picardo himself) have at least a little to do with SNW eventually getting the musical episode.
Fun Voyager openings, I hear you asking.
This is probably my favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIjOifRG-u8
This strawman isn’t even properly put together; it’s falling apart. If English isn’t your first language, skip the following: Write better.
I really wouldn’t talk with that sort of syntax. “They” became “they’re” due to my fat thumbs, not because I meant it to. I write pretty fast on a phone and like we all (should) know, the predictive algorithm sometimes get stuck with the wrong word, and I don’t really care yoo much (see, now I have to fix “yoo” to “too”. Better to remove “yoo” as a prediction really, but who’s got time for thay).
I’ll bet my left nut that if we both tested our English skills, I’d have a larger vocabulary and better syntax. More than ten years ago I surpassed the average native speaker in vocabulary size.
Cops should use their own moral judgement to selectively enforce the law, but also, cops should not use their own moral judgement to selectively enforce the law.
No, you’re just a dummy. There are laws in place which allow cops — just like soldiers, to not do what they’re commanded to do. They’re called “illegal orders”. So for instance if I were at war (and I am a sergeant in the reserves), I would never hesitate to question a direct command… unless it broke the core principles which are not my personal morals, but strict rules which are in place. At that point, if it’s murky if it is a legal order or not (as superiors officers often do give them, to both cops and soldiers), the first step is to ask it in writing. Then you can show that you protested, but as it was unclear, you did it anyway. However if your superiors officers tell you to do something clearly illegal like torturing people and kidnapping children, you don’t need to hesitate, and even getting it in writing wouldn’t help, as any reasonably well trained person should definitely understand the immortality and thus refuse to obey.
I’m not a Harry Potter encyclopedia so maybe your perception of Harry being a loose cannon is much more arbitrary than mine,
See what did I tell you about the syntax. Gjeoddamn.
But also, vocabulary. My definition isn’t arbitrary in the least. Are you sure you know the meaning of the word?
but in the context of someone refusing to enforce a law on moral grounds, you’re making zero sense to me.
Probably because you have zero actual understanding of the topic…?
It seems like you’re assigning “willy nilly” to selective enforcement you disagree with and “refusal” to selective enforcement you agree with.
Yes, you keep repeating your asinine and completely wrong argument. Did you just forget the other times, or do you repeat it so that you’ll remember it? Either way, kinda weird, and super wrong.
Let’s start small and check this out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_order_(international_law)
There’s a lot of language that uses expressions that have something to do with sight. I noticed that when I used to drive this one blind kid to school.
because I offered my best take at what might have been going through this person’s head
Empathy…?
“No but you have to understand, All Cops might Be Bastards but they’re could be way worse bastards!”
Wow what a magnificent argument.
How do you feel about ICE arresting people for immigration offenses?
How do you feel about the DEA prosecuting people for cannabis?
Do you not understand that things are clearly immoral should lead to law enforcement refusing to enforce the laws. It doesn’t mean they get to decide which laws to enforce or not, willy nilly, but if someone says “go an arrest every minority out there” they can say ‘that’s unconstitutional and I won’t do it, you can fire me and then I’ll sue you’ or whatever it is you do there.
What you CAN’T do is become law enforcement and then use that authority while being completely arbitrary about laws.
The only reason I’m not a cop is because drugs are illegal (and some other laws but mainly those.)
TL;DR: Harry would be morally upstanding and a loose cannon (assuming he doesn’t mature past 18), therefore a “good” cop
“Loose cannons” are never good as cops. No matter how much you delude yourself they’re completely moral and even if that were 100% true they wouldn’t be good cops. Cops aren’t justice. They’re law enforcement.
Someone applying their own morality all the time instead of laws should never ever be a cop. That’s why ACAB.
I got banned for low key implying there’s a genocide going on in Gaza.
Not even stating it.
Just implying it.
“antisemitism, permaban”
That was in 2023 iirc
Murder and slavery are common practices in the US.
Not legal for eveyone, but cops can murder people without worry, just like ethnic minorities have to live in fear of being kidnapped/murdered on the street/enslaved.
Oh god I fucking wish I had a phone to call back in time to some debates like 15 years ago when people were saying to me that I worry too much or that I must hate the US because of I criticise it so.
Then five years later Trump becomes president even though he lost the vote and it’s been a downward spiral ever since
First off, ACAB.
Secondly, in a lot of stories Batman defeats city-wide or even nation- or global-wide threats. Kinda like Harry. And whatever Batman happens to do, because it’s somehow justified, it ends up being good. Because he’s the hero. Like Harry.
But like the earlier dude said Harry hasn’t even got an understanding of the wider world. He would be much better at being a professor, because it also includes studying instead of just enforcing the rules.
Even if you imagine a perfect cop, he wouldn’t be acting like Harry. Harry constantly breaks some rules or laws. Not what cops should be doing. Yeah you need some of the virtues Harry has but Harry is also inpatient and a large risk-taker. Neither of which are particularly good characteristics in cops except in media. A perfect cop would be someone slightly autistic about the rules and literally doesn’t do whatever they feel like, but defers to the rules.
Which Harry most certainly doesn’t.
Imagine if the magical world was (for this analogy) the US. Some who grew up in another country and hasn’t even lived in the US, just went to a mostly American school, wants to be an American cop? Even when they go through a necessary training (and we know the wizarding world isn’t big on credentials or experience) to become a cop, he’d still have very little understanding of the actual law with just some weeks of training, and wouldn’t have grown up hearing about the constitution of the US let alone all the amendments to it.
Shortly? They were polytheists. Christians weren’t.
"The Paradox of Tolerance, articulated by philosopher Karl Popper, argues that unlimited tolerance leads to the disappearance of tolerance because if a tolerant society tolerates the intolerant, the intolerant will eventually destroy the tolerant, ending tolerance itself. "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine.

I know mostly not my own word but should be plenty of explanation my hands are freezing ask more if you feel like it
It’s not specific to a language and most PIE languages and even non-PIE euro languages use a version of “elite.”
English didn’t come up with the word, you know?
