Read a random definition: judgment notwithstanding the verdict

A quick definition of woolferthfod:

WOOLFERTHFOD: An outlaw who was often called a wolf's head because he was seen as no more than a wild beast or wolf who could be killed and his head brought to the king. Outlawry is the last weapon of ancient law, but one that it must often use. To pursue the outlaw and knock him on the head as though he were a wild beast is the right and duty of every law-abiding man. Let him bear the wolf's head. This phrase is in use even in the thirteenth century.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Woolferthfod is a term used to refer to an outlaw who was often depicted as carrying a wolf's head. This person was considered to be no more than a wild beast or wolf who could be killed and whose head could be presented to the king as proof of their death. The term is also known as wolf's head.

Example: In the thirteenth century, the phrase "let him bear the wolf's head" was commonly used to refer to outlaws who were considered to be dangerous and could be killed by anyone. This shows how outlaws were viewed as threats to society and how people were encouraged to take matters into their own hands to protect themselves.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the term woolferthfod was used to describe outlaws who were seen as wild and dangerous. The phrase "let him bear the wolf's head" was used to encourage people to take action against these outlaws and to view them as no more than wild animals that needed to be eliminated. This shows how the law and justice system were not as developed as they are today, and how people had to rely on their own judgment and actions to protect themselves and their communities.

wow you guys really argued hard against that brick wall
20:11
Im sure many Nazis also joined for the money and stability, but you know as long as you’re “just following orders” yeah its the systems problem sure you’re totally absolved of perpetuating such a system
20:42
dude didn’t u say u were working for a defense contractor or something?

I think I'm mostly aligned with you/your views on this issue, nemo, but I don't see how being mean in a chat is going to change hearts and minds idk
20:44
I think there’s a place to acknowledge both that the military is an institution that preys on low income people and you should never have to see ur best friend die in front of you while also believing that we’ve engaged in a lot of meaningless wars and if you’ve participated you are complicit
20:45
We’ve lost a lot of humanity and depth in the way we approach subjects like this in the modern discourse

^^ I also second that (third actually)
21:17
my experience working with a defense contractor is exactly the reason I hold this opinion
21:18
I literally worked across the room from a team working on AI targeting software for drone strikes
21:20
and by AI targeting software I mean AI that identifies “high value” targets
21:20
aka school buses full of children or hospitals

22:14
yeah I mean if you wanna call veterans Nazis surely you’re on a pretty equivalent standing here
22:15
do you think it would be accurate or truthful if someone were to describe you that way?

i think he's worse actually. vets can be anything from infantry (probably kill one or two guys max) to support staff (kill nobody). if you make industrial weapons you are facilitating higher levels of violence
22:35
Fair, though I can step back and recognize my naivety and come to the conclusions I have. Rather than arguing that any attack against me in unjustified
22:36
But tbf I did get fired for being too politically outspoken
OlDirtyBtard
22:39
i mean honestly forget about attacking anyone. i think if you really care about these issues it's best to look at it from a systemic lens rather than spewing bile

also fwiw some of the biggest anti-war advocates are veterans. see the "winter soldier" protest movement during the Vietnam war
I wasnt infantry but every marine is a riffleman. I also didnt join for the financial need. I ended up leaving s footprint int he service by making policy to help service members with their immigration status/family member status for the DoD. Call it whatever you want but those are the meaningful things and experience I bring with me to Law School.
a* the* sorry lol

Sounds like you'll have plenty with which to dazzle admissions committees. Also sounds like nobody in here is a vet lol. Maybe try r/lawschooladmissions?

Or possibly even reach out to admissions offices at schools you're interested in. Often they have current students who serve as admissions ambassadors, and you can ask to be put in touch with someone who fits a specific profile (e.g., a veteran). Doesn't hurt to try, and showing early interest in a school is never a bad idea anyway (supposedly they keep track of contact with applicants/prospective students)
