the best answer I can find is that the Olympic committee protested that it would affect whether the Olympics would accept attendance in that city if they allowed it, maybe someone can do a deeper dive.

Of why it’s coming back - a) Trump repopularized execution, b) Pfizer caved to public pressure to stop producing lethal injection drugs and c) electric chairs aren’t humane and suffer the same issue as firing squad that executioners suffer PTSD, it’s not very humane - being painful, long and often taking multiple attempts until the victim has a heart attack, which they of course experience and then die.

It seems like the answer I can get is that nobody really likes killing people, those that do suffer PTSD, and the messier the method the more unpopular it is.

Probably, with a bit of reflection, many people don’t actually like the death penalty when it comes to being present at it.

Wouldn’t a kid just not understand what’s happening though? We’ve all experienced watching something again as an adult and being like “ohhhhh THAT’s what it’s about.”

And/or most kids recognize “this character is doing something bad,” even if they don’t understand the context, aren’t we just talking another satanic panic here? Like how it was false alleged CoD or D&D makes kids into serial killers.

Due to blood being produced I believe that’s disqualified. Otherwise a .22 caliber bullet followed instantly by a .22 hollow point to both the brain and the heart simultaneously would be the fastest and most humane experience for the victim.

However, very few people want to build and operate such a contraption.

my wife got a few hundred bucks from a feminine hygiene product, unless you count that as “cents on the dollar” meaning a percentage of the final amount - in which case, that’s the case in every settlement.

let me say it real slow

gaaaaay

yeah. 5 mins. Thats all you play. Definitely not 3 or 4 hours just disappear the moment you load it up.

The war on drugs is a euphemism. Ending It doesn’t mean stop drug legislation, it means stop putting parents in jail for 10 years and putting their kids in care because they smoked weed and the kid accidentally told a cop when the cop visited their school and told them if they didn’t rat out their parents something worse would happen.

In fairness I haven’t seen the show, I’m seeing a lot of parents say it’s for 13+ teens, and some say 8+.

It has swearing and jokes about sex. I was raised in a household where I couldn’t say “Damn,” “Fart,” or “Ass.” Two close friends of mine don’t care if their 6 year olds say “fuck.” And honestly, it seems like they have a closer relationship to their kids than I do to my parents (I love them and care for them, but our mode of communication is pretty formal).

Also, I was watching Urotsukidoji, Battle Angel Alita, The Guyver around 11-13 years which is probably way worse.

it’s also like 2 hours compared to 2 minutes.

I mean lots of things can make things “awkward” for some people that shouldnt be banned - disabilities of all kinds, holding hands with a same sex partner, piercings/tattoos, blue hair, short skirts, farting, pregnant women, in some countries having your hair/shoulders/face/cleavage out…

Some people think kids shouldn’t be exposed to Harry Potter, D&D, rock music, seeing people drink alcohol…

I just don’t think it’s that big a deal.

It depends on the panel, but what if you don’t agree with age ratings board decisions and think it’s OK to bring your kid, shouldn’t their parent do the parenting? And why should it make anyone uncomfortable?

I mean the cast have been doing them on socials

I mean in English it’s

Sun

Moon

Tyr (Mars)

Odin (Mercury)

Thor (Jupiter)

Freya (No roman counterpart, arguably occupies the same function as Venus)

Saturn

ex Londoner here, I can plot that route in my head by walking around Clapham Common station where I used to live.

People wanting to kill themselves probably take care to do it.

Anesthesiologists won’t do it. That’s why they had so much trouble executing the guy in the first place: its not a doctor doing it, just a prison guard.

I’ve come to realize that a significant portion of people just think other people should die and that’s fair and they’re OK with being the ones to do it.

I saw an Instagram reel the other day of someone in the military describing the best way to decide who to kill and who not to as you storm a civilian building, plus the latest Behind the Bastards about Yarvin’s affect on JD Vance and their belief that violence / killing and enforced poverty / slavery is not only a necessary but desirable method of governmental change - not as a reaction to oppression but as administrative.

what hasn’t been mentioned so far is that his main business plan is get little children into gambling

I think the issue was making it usable / marketable without technical knowledge.

A better path would have been to keep it as a technical ML tool where the LLM is only used to interpret unstructured data.

Automated a copywriting gig on an extremely locked down terminal entirely in Excel VBA.

It would open my email, download the list of tasks, open a browser, extract the official product copy, RegEx it into bullets, I would add a few verbs and conjunctions, hit a button it would upload it to the CMS. Turned an 8 hour day into 30 mins.
