liberal interpretation

Read a random definition: pour appuyer

A quick definition of liberal interpretation:

Interpretation is the process of figuring out what something means, like a law or a document. It's like solving a puzzle to understand what the writer was trying to say. There are different ways to interpret something, like looking at the words themselves or comparing it to other similar things. A liberal interpretation means trying to understand what the writer meant, even if they didn't say it exactly. It's like guessing what someone meant to say when they didn't say it clearly.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Liberal interpretation is the process of determining what something, especially the law or a legal document, means by interpreting it according to what the reader believes the author reasonably intended, even if the author failed to think of it.

For example, if a law states that "no vehicles are allowed in the park," a liberal interpretation would allow bicycles and wheelchairs to be used in the park, even though they are technically vehicles. This is because the author of the law probably did not intend to ban bicycles and wheelchairs from the park.

Another example of liberal interpretation is when a court interprets a law to apply to a situation that is not explicitly mentioned in the law. For instance, if a law states that "all dogs must be on a leash in public places," a court might interpret this to also apply to cats, because the author of the law probably intended to keep all pets under control in public places.

Liberal interpretation is often used to ensure that the law is applied fairly and justly, even in situations that the author of the law did not specifically consider.

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.
Cant imagine being the guy to be like "hey so to keep your neighbors house from burning down we are going to bulldoze yours and then catch it on fire"
