Warehousing a person for decades as just a vessel for the life you intend to eventually take is competitive with the brutality of any torture I’ve ever heard of.
I don’t read my replies

They share a dormitory with other inmates in a prison notorious for bad conditions. By American Standards.
I love you Philip Morris this is not.
The individual explosives were probably 15 or 20 grams of material that could be disguised as part of the case, components, or battery. Plastic explosives can be molded, painted, and wired to resemble almost anything.
IDK for sure, it could be as you describe, but I doubt it because the pagers were in place for months and many of them were likely disassembled/repaired in that time.
If you think people are stubborn for sticking with Youtube and Reddit, just think how many people cling to the belief that customers control corporations by voting with their money.
What toppings? Are we talking fresh Moz? White sauce? This is very important.
Too many innocents go to jail behind false arson accusations. You never know if the building was into it at the time, but then felt ashamed later and cried arson. And then it’s just your word against the fire investigators. Just the accusation can destroy your reputation, no trial or nothing.
There is no amount of training, experience, or ability that can prevent gun accidents.
Other activities that are life/death like surgery or airline piloting use checklists because they know that training, experience, and ability are not enough. Making rules like “a gun is always loaded” or “careful where you point that thing”, are not sufficient because instead of solving human fallibility, they ignore it.
I’d go further and say that these “rules” are more mantra than procedure. A kind of protection spell that’s spoken more than it’s followed. These spells are cast in a flurry every time someone has an accident. Not to reinforce the lesson, but to reassure that we’re not going to get hurt.
This isn’t a partizan issue, just like immigration, Democrats are fucking horrible on homelessness too.
The problem with this “econ101” thinking is that it insists that the whole system runs on the choices of actors in a deterministic system.
MURICA: Civic pride in the local shooting.
I’d rather have an Israeli pager than an NFT Tamagotchi.
When are publishers going to realize there is only a market for like 2-3 Live service games at any one time?
You cannot underestimate the stupidity of games publishers. I’d be willing to accept that sunk-cost alone is the explanation for this outrageous budget. It probably started out as “what’s $200m for the next Fortnight?” and just went in $5 or $10 million dollar increments from there.
At the bottom of the article it’s speculated that he was mistaken for a spy which is the obvious likely answer. But maybe he fucked the wrong commander’s girlfriend, we’ll never know.
Did anybody look at the reporting CNN did? They linked his email, real name, and a favored username all across his socials. Other details like his age and location further confirm the user on the porn site was him.
Honestly, it’s scary to think if someone did this to me. Even if you had good opsec, with the help of AI, you might be able to correlate online accounts through writing style alone.
I just want to point out that recent court rulings on Alphabet’s business may threaten the future of Mozilla because they may not get revenue from making Google the default search engine.
Classical cynics loved to ridicule society and exalt nature. Modern cynics ridicule society and exalt themselves.
A cynic that owns a mortgage and a 401k is a bigger imposter than the tourist wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt in the Mall of America.
There was a time when feeling suspicious about your victim was a defense called “gay panic” and several murderers got off that way.
The national suicide prevention hotline is almost always too busy and callers often need to wait on hold. They’ve calibrated everything from the hold music, the script, and the recorded voice to keep callers on the line.
This factoid splits people pretty evenly between those who find it horrifying and those who find it hilarious.
I should say that according to the hotline, the changes made to the hold system has resulted in 100,000 fewer hang-ups per year.
I think this should be the standard for all gun usage. You must have a licensed armorer present before anyone can handle a firearm.
Think it’s funny? The entire American Film industry has only lost three people to firearms accidents. Anybody using firearms in law enforcement, military, or even just privately should be embarrassed by their pitiful attempts at safety culture.
