I used to be a proponent of the death penalty. Someone shoots up a school or is a serial rapist, they forfeit their right to live and are beyond rehabilitation
But the book "The Chamber" by John Grisham completely changed my mind. One of the only books to ever make me cry, I realized what an awful responsibility the state has when deciding what to do with the worst of the worst. It's so easy to lean into retribution but I decided that day I don't want to support legally sanctioned murder. I'd rather my tax dollars go into keeping prisoners alive than for them to be spent on taking lives for no other reason than blood lust.
Then of course you start digging into all the problems with criminal justice; innocent prisoners, corruption, racism... it's wildly irresponsible to trust any justice system to be so infallible as to decide who lives and dies.
I loved elden ring but you're right, it's not as hard as people say it is. I never got gud but was able to beat it by pulling other people in or over leveling.
After I beat it I figured I was ready for other souls games so I got into sekiro. Fucking loved that game but there is no getting around the difficulty. I finally gave up on young Owl.
My brother got on a kick where he spent a lot of money and energy growing mushrooms and his first batch was a total waste. He went back a second time with some distended techniques and got some product but not much. How 3rd try was better but still not a lot of product for all the effort.
This is a wildly incorrect assessment of the situation. If you think AI is going anywhere you're delusional. The current iteration of ai tools blow any of the tools from just a year ago out of the the water, let alone tools from a decade ago.
For about the same price as it currently costs to bundle all the major streaming platforms. Plus, cable never had anything near the amount of content we have now on streaming.
I think people who compare cable to streaming don't remember what it was like before streaming
I've completely given up doom scrolling on reddit for lemmy, but I'll still use the vast resource that is reddit when I need to learn something. I just have to stick through the mobile browser since I refuse to download the reddit app
I don't think these 2 things are the same. They have a US soldier that voluntarily went to North Korea. Think of how much publicity they can get for that. As long as he follows the rules he will likely be set up nicely
Lol I like that you talked shit about their lack of understanding of the criminal justice system, yet you clearly didn't understand how bail works. Please try to do better in the future
What does this mean? If I'm on a small instance will I still see the same posts if I filter by All as of I'm on a big community?
