I think in the context of the OP, not all donations have strings attached in the sense of trying to exert control. Maybe smelting orphans is undesirable but for donations previously received there's nothing the donor can do about that other. And picking and choosing who you donate to isn't a form of exerting control either.

Whereas large university donations do usually have agreements signed that could drastically change school policy. These are "donations" to exert control in some form or another

the article is about the Haitian Bridge Alliance filing criminal charges because of the effects the "Haitian immigrants eating our dogs" lie has caused. This has nothing to do with party sides and everything to do with cause and effect. Jd vance openly said on tv that if he has to lie to get people's attention then he'd do it, and now we're seeing what happens when you mobilize a large part of the country to harass and discriminate against legal Haitian immigrants who are just trying to live their lives like anyone else.

Now as far as slander goes, the courts would need to decide if malice was involved in the statements that at least one of them has openly admitted to being* false.

Of course this could all just be avoided by not telling lies.

So? Sunk costs

I heard Mormons are also known as LSD cuz they use so much. Amish going to wipe the floor with them.

Also the Amish have horses

This gives some better context. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21553327/why-is-except-pass-a-bad-programming-practice

But essentially ignoring every single error a program could generate is not great. It'd be better to know what those errors are and fix/prevent them from occurring in the first place.

I wish there was one about vegan pizza 69 though

Hello, I'm well aware that there can be good-intentioned people in the mormon church, however, I'd ask you to consider what it means to stay a member of an organization whose teachings lead to LGBTQIA+ youth committing suicide at a prevalence higher than other states? How can you be a member of an organization that doesn't, really, treat women equally when you stop to think about it? There are a lot of warts in the mormon church, and they have rewritten the history and have been gaslighting their members about it. You've been told that people will just try to spread lies about the church, and that the church is true so you don't need to question it. But if the church is true then it should be able to stand up to scrutiny of your own research.

Just because you think you are doing some greater good by trying to change the mormon church from within doesn't mean you're not oppressing LGBTQIA+ directly or indirectly. Consider this-- does someone joining the KKK with the intent to change it from within make them not a racist? How many years can they be part of that organization before they are complicit?

I'm sorry if any of this seems too harsh, these are just things I wish I would've thought about a few decades sooner. Best of luck in whichever path you take.

I have a whole note of memorable ones i keep, but the one that i come back to the most is riker's "i dream of a galaxy where your eyes are the stars and the universe worships the night" and the following exchange.

Hackers didn't hack roku. They "hacked" people who were dumb enough to reuse old, compromised passwords from other services. That is a very big difference from OPs title "roku got hacked".

It is good for roku to disclose this, but the issue is that people reused passwords.

I had a falling out with a friend but apparently he had listed me as a reference. Now if we were on good terms i mightve lied for him, but he had terrible work ethic and i watched him get fired from one job to the next on repeat for years. So when they asked if i would consider him a good worker i told them frankly i thought he was a terrible worker and how he had been terminated from half a dozen jobs in the 2-3 years i had known him.

I have no idea why i was listed as a reference and i especially don't know why he wouldn't tell me he was using me as a reference. But yeah he for sure didn't get that job.

found this in the article
