Enjoy? sure.

Legitimately and wholeheartedly defend, even to yourself? Less sure.

Inb4 he gets caught on camera doing something morally reprehensible and uses this as a defense

Remember when they were called “rare earth metals” before he called them “rare earths” in a demented stupor that one time. And now it’s just accepted terminology. I hate my country

“The aforementioned case” just means “the case that was mentioned previously.”

Yes, it is 100% in the public interest to break confidentiality to report instances of egregious bodily harm to other human beings. The confessional seal should not be more important than justice for victims of crimes. This is why many countries have mandatory reporting requirements.

It is not for the priest to decide whether someone is at risk of reoffending. We should not trust bad people to police themselves. And if the situation is someone confessing to hurting another person, they have already breached the trust placed in them by society. If you just ask them to turn themselves in, they will often breach that trust again.

Well, I’ve been a paramedic for a long time, a paramedic instructor for half as long, and a firefighter longer than either of the other two. Your friend sounds like a pompous dipshit, and his attitude is the reason we keep killing ourselves.

The ones who think they’re coping just fine are usually taking it out on their body or their family, in my experience. If you are exposed to shit like that at work, it always catches up with you eventually. Some people last years, some last decades, and some last one call. It’s the nature of the work.

Which is why you should always provide those resources. It saves lives. I really don’t see anything to suggest that the plaintiff is lying about having PTSD or is just trying to make money; I think that’s just the social stigma of PTSD providing you with rationalizations for your own problematic beliefs.

I mean, by that same logic, we shouldn’t offer mental health counseling to first responders because they knew what they were getting into when they signed up for it. You can say there’s a difference between naiveté and stupidity, but it’s entirely arbitrary.

Idk man, I feel like you’re really missing the point here. If you’re going to hire people to do a job that involves exposure to traumatic material, you need to provide resources for them to process and recover from it.

Y’all’d’ve (YAWL-duh if your drawl is heavy enough): You all would have

Well, it’s impossible for anyone who owns a red sports car to become homeless, so he must have been lying.

Yep. It’s quite literally an expression of power for them. Pointing it out does nothing but feed them.

By calling it “[your] expected outcome” I believe you’ve answered your own question there.

Consent is important, dickweed. Cry about it.

Why would you assume it to be appropriate to attempt humiliating someone, even as a joke, just because you happened to discover they were into consensual practice of the kink? Super fucking weird bro. Would you just tie a random person up without asking them if they mentioned they were into rope bondage?

They don’t really mean the exact same thing, or at least not in my dialect. “Fixing to” implies that the thing will happen imminently, not just in the future.

A few cheap laser pointers from Walmart or the discount store and that thing will either be landing immediately, leaving the AO, or crashing violently.

But, you know, you should never do this. Or whatever I’m supposed to say here to prevent the secret police from kicking my door in.
