@US_Macauley @estherzelda0514 Yes, and they did do that.

@audragabrielle_ The likelihood of being attacked by a bear, when actually in the presence of a bear, is much higher that.

It’s like saying the odds of drowning in the desert is very low and the odds of drowning in the ocean are high, therefore deserts are safe and oceans are dangerous.

@NJBeisner I heard Brett Kavanaugh was there.

@krishitchcock fails to produce the intended behavioral shift and can worsen outcomes.

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@krishitchcock Treating people as presumptively guilty or suspect on the basis of category membership typically triggers:
• Psychological reactance — people dig in when they feel their autonomy or identity is under broad attack rather than specific, evidence-based critique.

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@krishitchcock • Strengthened in-group solidarity and defensive identity — the accused category becomes more cohesive in rejection of the accusation.
• Reduced cooperation and increased polarization — the message is often received as an intergroup threat rather than a call to improve, so it

@LkeyWdlndMenace @honeyybomb @pitp23_kim That was the end of me arguing with you! Lol

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@krishitchcock Treat a category of people as presumptively guilty and suspect and they always improve their behavior, that never backfires.

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@LkeyWdlndMenace @honeyybomb @pitp23_kim The guys shouldn't be called rapists and she shouldn't be called a liar. Yes, 100%

You mean actually waiting until the facts are sorted before making a conclusion!?! Crazy talk!

@JeannieTita @estherzelda0514 The op said that giving out drugs and hosting a gangbang “consensual or not” is illegal. That’s what I was referring to.

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@JeannieTita @estherzelda0514 In a criminal case the defense doesn’t have to prove anything.

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@katiewr31413491 @JoshMcLevy @LocasaleLab 100% correct. My view is that the case doesn’t look good even in civil court under preponderance of evidence. The attorney wants to leverage some Danegeld out of Cornell from the media firestorm. That’s the realistic legal strategy.

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@LkeyWdlndMenace @honeyybomb She has not recanted her earlier statement with a new sworn statement. A civil lawsuit is not a statement by her under penalty of perjury.

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@elegationvain @sattrsats “I know that’s not how it works, hence it’s not rape. But it was majorly fucked up.”

Exactly, I think this whole thing is between one person who says the first sentence and the other person hears “not rape = perfect behavior.”

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@Amy_Siskind So there were drugs in the house they were doing drugs in. Got it.

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@LkeyWdlndMenace @honeyybomb It would have been better if the DA had the whole thing. Even then, there isn’t a viable charge unless she is prepared to recant the story in her statement and attest to something different.

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@LkeyWdlndMenace @honeyybomb But if you were “100% sure” you’d been raped, and felt that you could name the person who did it and when, it’s unlikely you’d omit that in your sworn statement. She had the opportunity to review and sign it with advisors present.

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@LexiconLass @Walter3061 @emilykmay And if he opened the door and was like “sure, have sex with me!” It would be consensual. So, the fact that someone said “go over there” has no bearing on whether the actual act was a crime.

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@LexiconLass @Walter3061 @emilykmay Yes, if a horny man showed up and that guys house and had sex with him without his consent it would be rape. But that would be on the guy that actually did it, not the person who said “hey go over there!”

[PrimaPrincipia @Mechanism1st]

@LkeyWdlndMenace @honeyybomb DA offices don’t routinely wade through hundreds of pages of interview transcripts. The point of the statement is pare it down to something that is workable and can be supported by the facts and sworn to. It’s not a scandal.
