Laws cannot afford to have loopholes. Laws cannot afford to be ambiguous. Laws cannot afford to have room for misinterpretation, especially if the lawgiving book in question claims to be perfect and timeless, on the basis of which the lawgiver will decide who's to burn in hell for eternity. Morality aside, it's honestly equal parts funny and ridiculous that the laws of a modern day civilised society are more comprehensive and clear in its meaning than those authored by an omniscient God. Isn't it unreasonable for God to judge Man on how well he's adhered to his commandments when it's so easy for Man to misinterpret said commandments?
Who's to decide which "interpretation" of the Quran is the right one? Sometimes when the literal meaning of a verse is too bitter a pill for Muslims to swallow, they resort to the usual "it's metaphoric! don't take the meaning of this verse on face value! this Arabic word in xyz verse has multiple meanings! the meaning got lost in translation! you do not have the wisdom to understand the depth of these words!" rhetoric, when what they're really doing is admitting that their perfect book–on the basis of which their merciful God will decide who's to burn in hell for eternity– is apparently so flawed as to have a dozen different interpretations. Shouldn't a book, that has to be followed by the entirety of humanity, be straightforward and easy to understand and follow?
Now before a Muslim jumps at me with the “Quran is very clear in its meaning” argument I'll quote one of the many verses that are highly debated amongst scholars: verse 4:34.
>Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
If the Qur'an is so clear in its meaning, then the obvious "interpretation" of this verse is that wife beating is a perfectly acceptable “punishment” in the eyes of Allah. If the verse can be interpreted in any other way by a Muslim, it only means that God failed as a legislator, or that God knowingly made ambiguous laws, and then didn't feel the need to intervene when Man misinterpreted them, a

So powerful, in fact, that his true form could not be contained in a single manga, but had to be split in two and be released in two different series so that it would not break reality. His two halves are shown below. You can see that both share the same general form, but both possess something the other lacks, clearly indicating that these are but imperfect halves of a whole. If these two forms were to combine, the resulting being would have a disaster level of at least Above Peak God.
Take a few minutes to process this information, and you will see that I'm right.

(I asked this in r/askscience but I guess that was the wrong subreddit for this type of question.)
Most non-insect animals have two eyes, two nostrils below and between the eyes, a mouth below the nostrils, two ears on the side of the head, etc. Obviously there are a lot more common traits that we all have. And it would seem like a huge coincidence if all these species evolved the same sensory organs and they organized them the same way. So does that suggest we share a common ancestor? And I'm not referring to a single cell organism, rather something complex enough to have all of those things developed.
Edit: to clarify, I'm referring to a species that we all evolved from, not a specific creature.
Please tell me if I’m reaching or getting some sketchy info in here
Epstein starts off as a conman climbing through lying, blackmail, etc.
Ghislaine’s father was very likely a part of the intelligence community and after he died, Ghislaine got some life guidance from his colleagues as an intelligence asset.
At this point Epstein is likely blackmailing wexner, some people in high places and gets noticed by the intelligence community.
If he’s working solely for mossad or with US intelligence as well is impossible to know imo.
Ghislaine and Epstein get together, with support/planning/money from intelligence work into real influential circles.
Basically Epstein was blackmailing people throughout NY and Wexner on his own separately before state interests might’ve hopped on the gravy train. It’s a small step from blackmailing billionaires for money to other prominent figures for influence.
This is how Epstein flew under the rug and with such confidence.
Alex Acosta, the prosecutor who basically let Epstein off in 2007 said it was because Epstein “belonged to intelligence and he was told to back off.” He also dodged reporters asking the question instead of just saying no?
This would explain why the fbi and police were in disbelief. It also explains why the PI constantly reporting Epstein’s probation violations was ignored.
Eventually the government probably realized the extent of his depravity vs the value of his intelligence and cut him loose to get burned.
and his “suicide”? Broken cameras, extremely small jail, only on suicide watch for 7 days, the broken neck bone.
And that’s why we’ll never see the extent of the cds, black book, figures etc.
The blackmail material is still valuable, but is now managed by actual gov orgs instead of a rogue contractor.
Basically an intelligence version of 3rd party contractors fulfilling roles in Afghanistan because of “optics” (ethics).
I can’t stand podcasts with more than one host who banter about their life for 15 minutes before getting into the crime they’re meant to discuss, does anyone have any recommendations?
He cannot meet this burden
Muggins' "Evidence" of Planting That He Claims the Court Found:
>He's cooperative with Colborn on the 3rd.
In no courtroom outside of Muggins' deluded mind is being cooperative with a police officer evidence of planting.
>He's cooperative with the police and allows a search on the 4th.
See above. Example: Chris Watts was cooperative with police officers from the first meeting, and even after his conviction. Sure he lied, but he allowed a search of his home and willingly participated in all interviews. Was his confession planted?
>David B describes him as calm, concerned and forthright on the 4th.
In no courtroom outside of Muggins' deluded mind is being calm in front of police officers evidence of planting. Dylan Roof murdered 9 people and was described as calm, collected, and forthright with interrogators. Was his confession planted?
>He doesn't burn or destroy where he had TH's phone number written down.
In no courtroom outside of Muggins' deluded mind is not destroying evidence considered evidence of planting. Again, Chris Watts did not destroy the sheet on which he murdered his wife in their bed. Were the sheets planted?
>He had an actual vehicle for sale which is unnecessary to lure and kill someone.
In no courtroom outside of Muggins' deluded mind is selling a vehicle evidence of planting. Also, Muggins' claim is false. Steven Avery was facilitating a sale for his sister, not selling his own vehicle. Add doubly so, the loader he claims he called Teresa about was not his. Was this imaginary vehicle planted?
>Barb was trying to sell the van.
In no courtroom outside of Muggins' deluded mind is another person selling a vehicle evidence of planting. Was Barb's van planted?
>He made no effort to hide the murder weapon.
In no courtroom outside of Muggins' deluded mind is not hiding a murder weapon considered evidence of planting. Also, according to Muggins and other Avery supporters, the state cannot prove Teresa was shot with that specific rifle. How do we know as fact that he did not hide the murder weapon?
>Fabian doesn't smell the distinct odor of a tire burning which was allegedly how the electronics were burnt.
In no courtroom outside of Muggins' deluded mind is a person's nose evidence that electronics were not being burned. Was the tire planted?
>John L saw a green SUV leaving the ASY.
In no courtroom outside of Muggins' deluded mind is a random car similar in color to the v

For example Steven Lund, the founder of NuSkin is Young Men's General President. These businesses are (in my mind) fundamentally immoral. It amazes me that no one has an issue with it.
I know you have your pride up in Yorkshire, but come on, lads and lasses.
Was watching Brandon Sanderson's watch along of the finale, and caught two bits of information that point to her not simply being shielded from the power like some people suspect.
In this clip: https://youtu.be/94ixaQcA-Sw?t=3931 Brandon is adamant that Moiraine was stilled when his co-host brings up the possibility that perhaps she was shielded.
On its own, this can be interpreted as speculation. However, later on in this clip: https://youtu.be/94ixaQcA-Sw?t=5766 Brandon says he has read the scripts of the FIRST SIX EPISODES. Maybe he's misdirecting us, but I don't think that's something he would do for no reason.
So, I feel like we can extrapolate that the show goes on to maintain that she is stilled for at least the first six episodes of next season. This raises a ton of questions, and unfortunately makes me think they will find a way to heal stilling/gentling much sooner than in the books.
