The show was “Zombie House Renovations” in case anyone was curious.

[–] Hotdogman@lemmy.world 47 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Trying to make her a zombie for the show, what's the issue?

The fuck

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm guessing he had some other issues aside from that.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably some loose floorboards and bad sheathing.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And no hurricane clips. That one works as a mental health analogy, too.

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 10 months ago

I suppose if you know what hurricane clips are.

Sorry, while part of my state deals with hurricanes, I am VERY inland.

Now tornadoes? Yeah, when the sky turns green its time to go outside and meet your neighbors.

Wow. That is crazy. Glad he is guilty.

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

I think you mean, "Glad he was found guilty." I don't think you are glad he is guilty of killing someone.

[–] HerbalGamer@lemm.ee 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Glad he is guilty.

you're glad he did it or just that he was convicted?

Isn’t it the same thing? Innocent until proven guilty?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Being guilty and being found guilty are different things. One happens the moment the crime occurs, the other happens when a verdict is rendered. The law goes by the second one because it doesn't have a crystal ball to figure out the first.

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They’re identical in the eyes of the law.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

No they aren't. Even the law just looks for proof "beyond reasonable doubt" rather than saying it's objective truth. The law allows for appeals because it knows it's not right all the time. It'll deny bail if it believes a person is a danger or flight risk, despite having no conviction yet. It will release names of people charged with crimes, knowing that the public often confuses that with guilt. Prosecutors push for convictions rather than truth.

There's a lot of ways that you can show that actual guilt and lawful guilt are two different things, even in the eyes of the law itself.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

The full quote is "innocent until proven quilty in the eyes of the law." The court is trying to discover guilt or not, not actually creating it. If you killed someone you killed someone. Whether the court has enough evidence to convict you of it doesn't matter. You're either guilty or not of the act. The court mat not find enough evidence to convict you, so they'll find you "not guilty" (which I'll note is not finding you innocent). However, just like you might not find your keys, guilt or innocence exists regardless of the findings. Maybe the search just wasn't good enough. The law just may not view you as guilty if it couldn't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

And we thought the "dinner is pizza" ad was stupid.

[–] uranibaba@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What was that ad?

[–] Techmaster@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

The guy who got pissed at his wife for getting pizza for dinner. Any normal person would be like "hell yeah, pizza!"
