Futuristic space-deadbeat. Timeless.

  • Thanks for your reply.

    We agree on the core principle: we shouldn't execute people when there's doubt. The disagreement I have is about whether the system can ever be certain enough.

    I'd argue that even cases that seem airtight at trial have fallen apart later (new evidence, recanted testimony, exposed misconduct etc etc...) If we acknowledge that human judgment is fallible, then a system with no "undo" means we're gambling with lives we can never give back.

    Maybe the real question isn't whether we could find enough people we're sure about but whether any government should have the power to make that kind of irreversible mistake.

    To be clear: I understand we're fundamentally on different ends of the table on this topic (and that's okay). I wanted to share my thoughts on it with you, not tell you you're wrong.

    I appreciate you hearing me out!

  • I watched this episode a few weeks ago. All I remember was it being the "Gong Show"? And a lifelong ambition for Homer (one of many!). The rest is lost on me lol.

  • Oh, I love this!

  • Spineless Starmer and his Tory Lite cohorts...

  • Same here. Looked up an old email and it wasn't my name lol. Good news I guess?

  • Asking in good faith: what happens when the wrong person is sentenced to death? It's happened many, many times before.

  • No apology needed. Have a pleasant Sunday.

  • Whatever helps you sleep at night, bucko.

  • Dominion.

  • Yeah, no joke lol. Jamie Foxx absolutely knocked it out the park.

  • Django Unchained too.

  • lol weird thing to get pressed over.

  • It's a bit like the 'Batman effect'. Is he the campy hero from the 60's or the dark, gritty vigilante?

    Both versions are valid parts of the character's history, but the one that resonates most with the current culture usually becomes the 'definitive' one for that era. It seems like we've just reached a point where we're more drawn to nuanced tragic backstories than the 'monster of the week' tropes of the past.

  • TBF I wasn't sure until I saw your comment and looked it up myself, I'm a total fraud!

  • Good to know but I’m not sure how that's relevant to the principle originally being discussed.

    The movement is about the legal right to keep what you paid for *period*. If you're "fine" with publishers killing service games today, you're just signaling to the industry that you'll be fine with them adding mandatory online check-ins to your favorite single-player games tomorrow.

    Apathy toward a principle usually ends with losing the privilege you thought was safe... Food for thought.

  • Yeah, that's the story. Medusa was sexually assaulted by Poseidon in the temple of Athena.

  • Nog makes Wesley look like fucking'... Shaft!
