And if we're being honest, they probably also know the right has a very short memory when it comes to stuff like this. So there's probably more than a little bit of "playing for time" going on.
the whole debacle has been pretty unusually memorable, though. I cant imagine anyone picking a can in a year's time asking themselves "why did I quit buying those already?"
I'm pro not letting criminals walk free to murder dozens of innocents. I'm still anti death penalty, and anti executing innocent people. Both can be true.
You cant have your cake and eat it too. an imperfect judiciary can be either too cruel or too merciful. in the former case innocents sometimes get executed, in the latter innocents sometimes get murdered by people wrongfully released from prison. Both are equally the fault of the judiciary, but in the latter case, the state is almost never actually held responsible. In the former case, it is much easier to have the state accept fault and pay compensation.
suppose we lock them all up instead, theres no guarantee that some moron politician isnt going to try some "rehabilitation" crap down the line, voiding decades of social cleanup.
Then we could talk about the costs of locking people up, and how those resources could be used to save innocent lives too. by investing in healthcare for example.
Though I guess that part could be solved by using labor camps. somewhere on Mars.
again, all this getting hung up on maybe a couple people wrongly executed every decade is missing the forest for the trees. how many people died of the state's incompetence during covid? Wrongful executions wouldnt amount to a hundredth of that in a century.
i'm not attacking you, i said the argument is disingenuous, not the person . "muh wrongful conviction" is always the first argument to come up in any discussion about death penalty. People think its some kind of gotcha no one supporting the death penalty ever considered before. its tiring, its a bad argument, and the people who thought it up (which I assume you're not part of) were extremely disingenuous.
We all heard that "better 10 criminals walk free(and murder a couple dozen innocents) than an innocent man be sent to the gallows" crap a hundred times already.
And if that person happens to be wrongly convicted?
people die of government/judiciary incompetence all the time, and no one cares. this focus on hypothetical wrongful convictions is extremely disingenuous. Especially when the discussion is usually around getting rid of biotrash caught in the act.
found the following video that plays an alledged recording of the ceo saying he doesnt want to hire "a bunch of 50yo white guys."
Worse, they sell this as an "experimental" thing implying its something no one has done before. But manned subs that go to these depths do exist and have a ton of thoroughly tested safety features. (see: Alvin). how can someone pay 250k for a tour in this coffin without doing any due diligence is beyond me.
this is fake, right? no male can be such a mop, right? oh well. Hans? Hans!!! Work's waiting ya lazyfuck!
Seriously now. Want your son back then fight for it. Along th way, you might even learn a thing or two about how and why you're not a girl.
I think its more of an immaturity thing than a gender thing. ask a 12yo boy to write some adventure story - he'll write a stand-in too. Perspective-taking comes from experience and experience comes from having the world not match your expectations of it. Some coddled people get very little of that.
I also could never agree with his final solution of destroying all the technology.
Its a very bizarre logic. "People's future looks unpleasant from my pov, so lets have them not exist instead.". Its the vegan pov on farm animals applied to humans.
How much soap you need is directly proportional to surface area, so clearly fatties are the key market demo for a soap company.
some of that extra surface is unreachable, though. so it only increases soap usage to a point.
they need more meat for the meatgrinder.
