Why?
Why?
Serial expirements lain is the anime
This is what’s known as ‘anecdotal evidence’
The fact of the matter is that we can never be 100% certain 100% of the time that only the actually guilty are being executed.
No innocent people should be killed for a crime they didn’t commit and therefore there should be no death penalty.
As long as the death penalty exists then innocents will be killed.
The solution is simple
I’d frame it as an off-the-wall question and post it on an anonymous social platform.
I like the way it tastes/feels so much that I prefer it over any other drink.
I came around to it while cutting soda. It went like this: soda -> diet soda -> flavored sparkling water -> plain sparkling water.
It’s relatively cheap, waaay healthier than sodas, and helps me stay hydrated. I love it
I used to get them all the time. I’m basically addicted to carbonated water and these offer tall can versions vs plastic bottles or smaller cans.
Eventually I just switched to a sodastream though, waaay cheaper
I prefer to think of it as “the only way out is through” or “the only path is forward.”
For some problems it won’t matter how people feel or even who is at fault. What matters often is how you begin to work through it. Once you’re out of the hole you can reflect.
Legal Eagle is great at explaining current events and their Legal implications, he also does reviews on movies or shows to explain how they portray law vs reality.
Ordinary Sausage makes sausage out of everything and generally does cooking experiments in a quick and humorous way
Bobby Fingers is a mix of artisan videos where he expertly hand crafts dioramas (mostly) of events while making funny and interesting comments, but he adds some pizazz and production to the whole thing that makes it very engaging.
What if we stop executing people entirely?
Edgrunners, FLCL, and Cowboy Bebop
Virtual lamps use real electricity and produce real light, so even if though they are virtual they are also real
Its not made up lol. Its the system thats in place. Alex Jones and his legal team had to play ball, thats how the legal system functions. He not only didnt do what he needed to, he actively lied and ignored the process so the judge used their existing powers to punish him. Its not just made up in this instance, these are existing powers within the legal system when the subject of a trial decides they just ‘dont wanna’.
Legally you can say almost anything you want. But you still have to work with the legal system. Whats even more ridiculous is that legally speaking these defamation cases were almost certainly going to found in favor of Jones but he bungled his defense so bad hes being punished.
to quote that video I posted “He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory”
After rewatching the video the fines arent just for the defamation and libel. Its because he basically never fully complied with the courts in multiple ways so eventually the judge just said ‘F it’ and gave a default judgement which is basically saying ‘you give up your right to fight this case’.
This article is for both CT and TX.
Here is a video explaining what happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSm7sRx-0hA
you seem to not understand the legal aspect of this, which is understandable considering how dense and nebulous the law is and can be. That video breaks it down.
This isnt just a situation of Jones going “hey, maybe this is fake” and getting a billion dollar fine. This fine is in response to YEARS of lies, doxxing, and inciting his fanbase to harass people.
The initial suite being for some massive amount is par for the course in litigation. Parties ALWAYS ask for some larger amount than they expect to get. Its like haggling and the initial amount is almost always meaningless for the reality of the case. Thats just how the system is for now.
You asked “at what point should we stop” and my answer is when he is destitute.
The fine is punitive. Its a punishment and a deterrent to other charlatan shock jocks who would like nothing more than to use the suffering of others as their ramp to fame and fortune. Im not sure its ‘special’ but he is one of the most famous of these modern day snake oil salesmen and has a massive fan base.
When he’s destitute. What he did is completely abhorrent, disgusting, and detestable. To target the families of school shooting victims is just unconscionable. He knew he was lying but he did it to profit off of the controversy. He absolutely should lose everything.
fair enough
