People always point to the worst of the worst to justify the death penalty, but it’s not about them. It’s about us. I just picture people who support the death penalty the same as medieval peasants cheering on the gruesome torture and execution of a criminal like its some kind of entertainment. People need to do more introspection about what part of their personality they are feeding when they give in to the desire for vengeance. That’s not even taking into account that no justice system is perfect.

Yeah. Mainly I go for the “what are you watching this week” stickied post to get an idea of what new shows might be worth trying.

Yep, unfortunately I still have to go to r/television on reddit to find good recommendations because the television community here is dead.

While you might be right, it is a civic duty to vote. Your mindset is too dangerous, which is why the right-wing trolls try pushing it. Voting even why you know it won’t make a difference is the most basic thing you can do to push back. Who knows what could happen if we get enough people out of that mindset. Simply voting, regardless of who for, is an event that every American should take pride in.

I mean it is an accurate description of it, so that might be a connection… but if you know the actual history of the term then please share

I don’t know why, but I never made the connection of this pose to the term “reared-up” (meaning ready to go/launch) until recently.

I don’t know much about investing, but i wonder if it would it be a good time to short those companies?

I wonder how much more energy it took to accomplish that compared to just shooting a rocket. Last I had heard railguns weren’t really feasible because of the absurd amount of energy they would require even with perfect efficiency.

For me, every time it suggests the correct base word, it gets the ending wrong, so I have to type out the whole word anyway. For example, if I want past tense it’ll suggest the present tense of the word.

Maybe I remember wrong, but wasn’t he coordinating releases of leaked dnc data with Roger Stone? I’m gonna assume anyone dealing with Roger Stone is not on the up and up…

They found classified documents at this location. Why the hell would they leave without opening every door? This seems very basic to me…

• goes to auschwitz
• talks about himself

He clearly learned nothing.

I doubt he would have said anything unless it matched the party line, so its not completely uninformative. The problem I see is that I’m pretty sure that this peace solution has been proposed in the past, and it was the Palestinians who rejected it.

If there was porn in libraries, then you would see a whole lot more teenage boys hanging out there.

Tolerable work environment is at the top of my list. If I were to even consider working at an intolerable business, I would need to be paid enough to retire after a year. We have made it so that work is life, and also now retirement is very uncertain for most young people. There’s no way I’m gonna take an intolerable job that will go on indefinitely.

CFPB is a policing body. I guess they don’t count as part of the “Back the Blue”. Look who’s defunding the police now…

We all know the only difference here…

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Just finished the audiobook and thought it was fantastic. It could be technical at times like The Martian, but I find that stuff interesting.
