I originally bought it because a german luxury saloon wasn't big and unpractical enough and I've dreamed of a pickup truck like that since I was a kid but then I started my own business and now I'm using it as my work truck, hauling tools and construction supplies.
After having done loads of heavy squats I had to stop wearing jeans entirely. I'd get about 4 months of use from a pair before they rip on the crotch due to my thick thighs and ass.
Innocent people will get sentenced. There's no way around that. Sententing an innocent person to death is among the greatest injustices I can think of so I'll rather have someone guilty walk free. Granted that sentencing an innocent person to life in prison aint that much better but this is where the second reason comes in.
I don't believe in free will. Punishing someone for something they did is not compatible with the way I see the word*. It's like punishing a grizzly bear for attacking a person. If you're danger to society you should be locked up one way or another but not as a punishment but to keep others safe. I think that even if you're a murderer you should be treated well and we should figure out a way for them to live relatively normal lives behind the bars. They can't help themselves. They didn't choose to be born that way and thus shouldn't be punished as if they could have acted otherwise.
* Risk of consequences still works as a deterrence and that "punishment" be it fine or jail time should still be carried out because otherwise it loses its credibility.
Related thing about extension cable reels that many don't know is that even if you need like 3 meters of cable you should still unspool the entire thing as otherwise it's acting as a coil and creating resistance heat. Most cable reels have different ratings marked on them for when they are spooled / unspooled. This is especially true when the device you're powering takes >1000 watts
To my knowledge, it was escorted to Finland from international waters by the coast guard, after which the police quick-response task unit stormed the bridge via helicopter. Had the ship refused to leave international waters, there’s nothing they could have done. I applaud them for their boldness and aggression, but luck also played a role. As far as I’m aware, the previous ships never entered any country’s territorial waters.
A contrarian isn’t one who always objects — that’s a confirmist of a different sort. A contrarian reasons independently, from the ground up, and resists pressure to conform.
The right as a whole tends to be much more accepting towards the death penalty. There's no hypocricy for me to criticise there. This is exactly what I'd expect from them.
Secondly, there are effectively no right wingers on Lemmy so criticising them here serves no purpose other than to fish for upvotes.
The left however is against death penalty in general but accepting of it when directed at people they don't like. That is being a hypocrite and that is what I'm criticising. Praising Luigi on Lemmy gets you nothing but upvotes.
Sure, it's acceptable to kill when you're defending yourself or your country but shooting a man on the street is a whole different case and who ever celebrates this kind of vigilante murder has no moral ground to stand on from which to criticise the death penalty.
One is either for death penalty or against it. Being for it in the case of CEO's but against it when it comes to convicted criminals is called hypocrisy.
I've been hearing quite a bit pro-murder sentiment coming from the left lately so I'm not sure what the issue here is.
EDIT: No amount of mental gymnastics changes the fact that Luigi is a murderer and if you think the CEO deserved to die for being "murderer" himself then so does Luigi.
They treated it as if it was not radio active only to find out the hard way later. Marie Curie is one example and the women with rotting jaws from painting watch faces with radium (licking the brush to get a sharp point) are another.
If it's so good that it's impossible to tell from human-made content then it literally doesn't matter wether it's real or not as there's no difference.
What the hell is wrong with the people here? Actual positive news for a while and what does Lemmy have to say? Complaining and cynicism. No wonder you're so miserable all the time.
