Because it's not a conspiracy theory - there was an impeachment trial about this.

Surely they don't only discipline cops when it affects the royals... right?

I remember I got into an argument on reddit awhile ago with a person over Italian food. It got to the point they were following me into other subs to harass me. I clicked on their profile to block them and their most recent post was them drinking their own piss on r/piss. At that moment I realized I had spent so much pointless time arguing about the taste of food with someone who drinks their own piss as a hobby. This site is a shit hole.

Yes, keep reporting them. If their instance admins don't act, your server can defederate from spammers.

It's often not the judge's discretion, is the thing. Any person duly convicted of crimes under xyz statutes (i.e.: public indecency/public urination) shall be listed, so the court/prosecutors can massage it to disorderly conduct for a cooperative defendant or whatever.

Legislatures are encouraged to make sure the line is as broad as possible, because there's frequently stories of actual rapists and child abusers pleading out of sex offender registration. When the evidence is muddy and the prosecution doesn't want to chance it at trial, but has enough to nail them for something, frequently sex offender registration is a big bargaining chip.

Thus in many states, public urination is a sex offense.

The US subsidizes fossil fuels to the tune of 600B per year. You pay for pollution with your taxes.

I think consequences accruing to bad people for the wrong reasons are still worth concern, personally.

I don't really like this- for one, it's based in the fact that homophobic people who also engage in queer behavior in secret tend to be outrageous in their hypocrisy. Thus, because it's such juicy news people tend to assume it's more common than it actually is. This is called the availability heuristic.

For another, it individually pathologizes the condition of being homophobic as being rooted in psychological reaction formation- thereby denying that homophobia is something encultured by the broader homophobic social system that we live in. The condition of being a gay homophobe isn't a psychological one but a sociological one- it's not (just) shame but a very real fear of the very real consequences which recruit them to uphold the very system that oppresses them.

Corporations are spying on you and governments are using your tax money to buy the information from them

We are not going back to nuclear energy and we are going towards renewable energy more and more and it has already proofen that not even a war in Europe can change that.

Yeah because America opened our strategic reserve wide open to keep you from freezing to death last winter.
