Colombia's Medellín declares war on sex tourism after US citizen found with two little girls at a hotel
  • The arrest warrant and the 2 additional children were not in the original article

    Honestly if there's an arrest warrant and the dude fled it gets harder to defend a burden of proof that's hanging on a system that he manages to evade, though we've seen people genuinely just going back home and getting a warrant after but let's put that aside.

    On one hand i appreciate the deterrent that publishing his name is to other sex tourists, but on the other if he gets beaten to death because of it, or worse, some guy with the same name - I'm not fond of that either.

    All that while honestly there's already systems in place for fleeting criminals, not sure there's much benefits feeding his real name to the mob in a very well referenced newspaper.

  • There's confusion. I've maintained that to me, the goalpost is conviction. I cited an article that's less damning for sure but I still motivate my goalpost by principles, not examples. It's simpler to rely on an already established baseline, which is the justice system's convictions, and I'm okay if that means that sometimes, a very plausibly guilty man benefits from undeserved anonimity

    But you know, every time I say that homeowners should indeed face jailtime for shooting a fleeting burglar in the back I face the same people with the same arguments

    People like to be tough on crime, but I don't like people who feel the need to do justice themselves

  • I've never used archlinux

    People who use arch don't come here they roll their own instance

    Iusearch.fyi is speedy and blocks no other instance except the pedo ones so it's the best if you want a self-defined experience on the fediverse without rolling your own lemmy docker

  • Colombia's Medellín declares war on sex tourism after US citizen found with two little girls at a hotel
  • The man, who has been identified as [full name], was discovered thanks to an individual who alerted the police that he was with the two girls at the Gotham Hotel, which is located nearby Lleras Park. Although he was arrested and detained for 12 hours, authorities eventually released him because he had not been caught in the act of sexually abusing the girls. He was released on Friday, and boarded a flight to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. An image of his passport, including his data and photo, has been posted to social media after details of his case came to light.

    Maybe giving out his full name without him being caught doing anything illegal nor contacting him to get his version of the story is a little fucked up, El pais

    You don't do that if you're not 100% sure

  • No I strongly disagree on giving psychoanalysis that much consideration

    Besides the fact that psychoanalysis, new wave or not ; jung, freud, lacan, has only been demonstrated to work better than leaving the patient alone on a handful of illnesses and it's still unclear whether simply letting patients talk and air out their problems could be the main driver of that.

    It is fundamentally a discipline that is impermeable to science

    I've never heard a student tell me they've read Watson or Rayner or any of the founders of CBT because scientific disciplines are centered around historical results and not authors. They know about Rayner's results and it is enough, and if something better comes along later they'll switch. No one is a Raynerist.

    Psychoanalysis has gurus, and the beliefs themselves are built to be unverifiable

    I'm tired of lecturers who tell you that if you treat someone with it, it's proof that it works. And if the patient doesn't respond to treatment it's either the patient's fault or they just need more time, and nothing is ever proof that it doesn't work. And who are you to question <authority figure> anyway?

    If they suddenly start publishing reproduced results in reputable journals that do anything other than being less effective than the current state of the art, then sure, let's have them beyond history classes. Right now though? It's a load of bullshit

  • Sorry for the low quality post but nonetheless need some advice
  • I've had neighbors for 28 years and they've never been a significant portion of my problems. Largely nice, mostly indifferent, sometimes annoying

    Being close to things, short commutes, no driving and not being lonely though?

    Remove any of those and I'm instantly worse off

  • Not fun fact: 8 out of 10 shrinks in France use psychoanalysis

    Only 1 university in the country excludes it from their care curriculum (history modules non-withstanding)

    Only country in the world that hasn't booted that practice off along with argentina

  • USA vs Cuba
  • This is a Patrick Symmes's article I read a while ago

    https://www.patricksymmes.com/articles/publications/harpers/2010/thirty-days-as-a-cuban/

    The data you listed comes from IHME, Global Burden of Disease but there's nothing findable online as to how it's actually gathered

    I suspect they got it from the Cuban government

    It's not easy having a good nutrition in Cuba
