  • Click the column header to select the column, then click and drag the selected cells to wherever you want.

    Note that dragging cells in this way is the same as copy & paste, so it will not insert the column at your destination and move the existing columns along, it will leave a gap where you dragged it from and overwrite the column wherever you leave it.

  • I always find it kinda pathetic when people quote credentials in an anonymous platform. Like is it supposed to mean something that you're a military veteran, even if that is true?

    The phrase "my sweet summer child" does not refer to your age in years. I'll reiterate that you do seem to have the perspective of an innocent child believing that everything can be fixed by avoiding buying macdonalds for a day.

    As a military veteran your countless hours in armed conflicts would no doubt inform you that you can't just go charging off into the darkness with no plan and no support. You need to consider your resources, strategise your campaign, rally supporters, and adopt positions you know you can defend without casualties.

    Shutdown 315 will fail and most of the people who support it will lose hope and won't be involved next time round. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this type of thing were a project 2025 initiative. It would be a good move if it were.

  • I guess this is the core of the issue.

    I find it bizarre that anyone could honestly think that a broken system could be improved by allowing 12 random people to make exceptions in exceptional circumstances. Sorry but it's difficult to say anything charitable about that opinion.

    Every case is exceptional, and we have a complex process for weighing the circumstances and determining the least-bad outcome.

    You can look at Luigi's case and say "this victim deserved to die therefore Luigi should not be punished", but what is the consequence of that? How many people will be murdered that don't really deserve to die? How many murderers who deserve to be punished will not be?

  • Oh my sweet summer child.

    This is hyperbole which doesn't help anyone.

    "Fighting" at every opportunity just runs you down. As in all things you need to pick your battles and I fear that this isn't the right one to pick.

  • This is just more words saying the same thing - that jurors should just make up the law based on the vibe of the case. It's absurd to me that so many people in these threads complain that the legal system is unfair, and in the next breath propose that citizens should be able to set aside the law in specific situations because of the feels.

    That is the antithesis of a fair and just system and honestly it's exasperating rehashing the same concept over and over.

    The answer to why guilt is determined by a jury of your peers is that it avoids having a judiciary that can charge, convict, and sentence a defendant. That seems patently obvious to me.

    You need to be found guilty of the charges against you by a jury of your peers. The whole point is that the jury is not experienced in law, and interprets the facts and evidence as any reasonable third party would.

    Juries are not appropriately positioned to determine a sentence because they are not experienced and have no frame of reference.

    It's telling that in these threads my comments are awash with downvotes but no one can provide an actual rebuttal.

    Basically, people just don't want luigi to be punished for murdering a shitty CEO. Sadly, that doesn't make jury nullification a legitimate course of action.
