A quick definition of legal benefit:

A legal benefit is an advantage or privilege that someone receives, such as owning a car or receiving financial assistance from an employer or public program. It can also refer to profit or gain received from a sale or life insurance policy. In the context of eminent domain, a special benefit is a benefit that only accrues to the owner of the land in question, while a general benefit is a benefit that benefits the whole community.

A more thorough explanation:

A legal benefit is an advantage or privilege that is recognized by law. It can also refer to profit or gain that is received as consideration for a promise. Legal benefit is also known as legal value.

  • Death benefit: This refers to the sum of money paid to a beneficiary from a life insurance policy when the insured person dies.
  • Fringe benefit: This is a benefit received by an employee from an employer, such as insurance, a company car, or a tuition allowance.
  • Special benefit: This is a benefit that accrues to the owner of a land in question and not to any others. It justifies a reduction in the damages payable to the owner of land that is partially taken by the government during a public project.

These examples illustrate how legal benefit can take different forms and can be received from different sources, such as insurance, employers, or the government. They also show how legal benefit can be recognized and protected by law.

ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalgona I just learned about these things. Apparently they’re featured in Squid Game, but I think Squid Game is just a ripoff of the original Mr Beast Games
I learned today the term fight fire with fire comes from the early day of fire fighting when departments would just bulldoze buildings and then burn them in an attempt to stop a fire from spreading. So to stop fire from burning shit they would burn down other buildings in a more violent and destructive way thus lowering the fires moral so much it refuses to spread and work.

that's like basically how wildland firefighting still works
I did wildland and most of the time it was controlled burns but it is pretty funny to imagine doing that in a city/neighborhood.

The Santa Ana winds kinda helped with that because it pushed the fire back to where it had already burned despite the news media saying everything was going to get worse like the idiots they are.
