The purpose of humane executions is to relieve pain and discomfort to capital punishment supporters. It’s not a worthy goal.

If you oppose capital punishment, then you should prefer the most horrific and cruel methods because that at least forces the public to face the cruelty done in their name.

If Presidents are allowed to declassify documents with their mind, why cant they pardon with autopen?

After watching the latest Atun-Shei video, I’m using burger instead of bourgeois from now on.

Like many people of a certain age, I feel like I owe Monica Lewinsky an apology.

We learned about a study in Psych class where the researchers asked elementary school students what their favorite activity was. Drawing was the popular answer. So the researchers paid the kids $8/hr (even 6yo get better than Min wage) to draw. Then they would poll them again about their favorite activities. Guess what was on the bottom?

To be fair, abortion mostly effects young women. While Medicare and Social Sec touch the lives of nearly every American family.

If they make cuts, the backlash will come from the left and the right. Significant cuts would be an indication they’re not concerned with elections at all.

Dowd is right. There should be some kind of standard so you understand dosage. When I try an edible, I eat a tiny amount and wait an hour. This isn’t because I’m smart, it’s because I’ve had bad experiences with potent stuff.

I know how many beers or shots I can get away with. With edibles, it’s a gamble every time.

These devices are a great help to the elderly and disabled, and Amazon’s offerings are the least expensive. My buddies Mom can call emergency services from anywhere in her home with just her voice. I don’t think that’s foolish at all.

Yea, even after 48hours of 'Fuck 'Chuck content, what the President said was beyond the pale.

That’s some of the most totalitarian bullshit I’ve ever seen come out of 'big 'tech. I’m not even sure Joseph Goebbels tried to control metaphor. This is 1000X more granular than the CCP banning Winnie the Pooh.

It’s always been this way for the cheap speakers. They’ve no processing power on-board and need the cloud just to tell you the time.

There is an excellent Science channel on Youtube and Nebula with a Physics PHD who’s made some eye-opening content about harassment and misogyny in STEM and Academia.

The best way to burn off bad faith is to ask them to affirm their standard: “so you think it’s dishonest to intuit intention when you have no proof”? and if they’re stupid enough to claim they believe that, hit them with something like:

“What do you mean video games have a woke agenda? You can’t know the intentions of game designers”. “How do you know that the media is biased against Trump”? “You can’t read their minds”.

EDIT: My point is that debate should cut straight to a question of values, not argument. Talking about values (which cannot be disputed or proven with “facts and logic”), divides good and bad faith like a lightsabre.

Grandad was a pimp? Checks out.

Well, according to my ex, even 30 or 90 seconds is an interval unworthy of consideration.

Betar USA is notorious for spreading hatred against Palestinians and has explicitly and directly incited the mass murder of Palestinian babies.

It’s ironic that the headline charge against this group of Zionists is based their speech. Their possible role in Khalil’s kidnapping, and their likely illegal activity is burred below the flimsy accusation of “incitement” which I’ll remind you is also the rational behind the recent Luigi censorship.

Scribes and the whole Priest class

I believe Dashbo is referring to the original painting.

To be fair, that’s an insignificant distance for light to travel.
