Yes, the crime was horrendous. But if society just gives up on the idea of rehabilitating criminals that’s not going to bring anyone back. It’s just going to hurt more people unnecessarily, innocent and otherwise.

Obviously the murderer should not be released until they are adequately rehabilitated (if they ever are). But in a just society prisons are for rehabilitation.

And what exactly does voting third party do about the genocide, other than put Donald “Finish the Job” Trump into office?

I always loved the Kokiri Forrest in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It’s so cozy, so quaint. I just wanna live there in real life, but with like internet and videogames and stuff.

He’s admitting to brutally oppressing people. Unfortunately, there are enough hateful/stupid people in the (heavily gerrymandered) key voting districts, it doesn’t matter.

Nah that’s was like 40 years ago now /s

I mean, block chain does have some actual uses, definitely more niche than LLMs though.

That makes sense. It isn’t really super different from a Cincinnati style five way.

Realistically like $35/hr. Honestly I probably make a lot more than that for the company I work for. Considering the abysmal hours with absolutely no consistency, that should add atleast another 10$/hr.

A couple of years ago my (now ex, for urelated reasons) partner got ahold of some molly. I was pretty new to drugs, but trusted her to keep me safe. We tested a small portion of it, and it came back clean. That night we took it with us to some club and did some lines in the bathroom.

Unfortunately, I was unaware that the chemicals in those test kits have expiration dates, and no one had ever explained the chocolate chip cookie effect to me. Either we just missed the chunk that had fentanyl in it, or those expired tests just weren’t accurate, but either way I ended up overdosing.

I’m told my heart stopped for about ten minutes. Fortunately for me, the boyfriend of one of the performers had narcan with him. I had collapsed in front of the bar, and woke up laying in the parking lot with a bunch of strangers crowding around me. My partner ended up bundling me into the car and driving me home. I’m pretty sure I ended up with some brain damage. Years later though, I feel like I’m pretty much recovered, fortunately.

That’s what the alcohol is for: to sanitize it.

That’s a whole fucking meal.

Science also tells everyone they are pointless pieces of dust

Can you cite any studies? Because that sounds more like philosophy territory.

The United States of America National Anthem.

So, not a programmer, just a rando on Lemmy. There are racist programming languages?

First time I’ve heard veganism used to justify the death penalty.

Eggs existed long before chickens evolved.

You’re getting down voted, but you’re right. The actual lawmakers are probably more racially motivated. But based on my experience growing up in Alabama, most of the regular “pro-life” voters seem motivated by a genuine belief that abortion is murder.

Unfortunately, it’s really down to the residents of like 7 states. Residents of the other 43, functionally don’t have a vote.

I need to find myself some non-native English speakers 😋

Turkey, sharp cheddar, pepper jack and pepperoni on toasted whole grain bread with spicy brown mustard and just enough hot sauce to add some bite.
