Hello, I want to make it clear that I know how to use my raspberry pi 3b+, I know how to torrent, and I have a general idea how to bind qbittorrent to a VPN on linux....
Even if someone refuses to change, the permission of murder in the vague view of justice is wrong. Killing a serial killer doesn’t bring their victims back, killing a rapist doesn’t undo the rape they committed.
In America, our thing is “We’d rather have 8 guilty men walk free than 1 innocent jailed” (supposedly), yet there’s been more than zero people who did not commit any crimes, yet were killed. You can’t undo murder. At least if someone is given life in prison, you can set them free.
Let’s not forget that we’re more prone to give the death penalty to BIPOC inmates, not white.
And it costs more to kill someone, than to house and feed them.

The “FedNow” service, which has been in the works since 2019, will seek to eliminate the several-day lag it commonly takes cash transfers to settle, bringing the U.S. in line with countries including the United Kingdom, India, Brazil, as well as the European Union, where similar services have existed for years....
Like yeah I understand congressional gridlock can really hamper shit, so we need to often rely on the SCOTUS to permit actions. Try getting Congress to pass a bill for gay marriage when "Obergefell v. Hodges" was ruled.
But it's incredibly frustrating how Democrats refuse to push for bills when they have the change to actually have them pass.
When republicans control congress, with a democratic president: "If we get enough people in, we'll make abortion and weed legal!"
When democrats control congress, with a republican president: "If we get him out, we'll make minimum wage higher and help fix immigration!"
When democrats control congress and the president: "We gotta work on compromise, we shouldn't be too mean, we need to secure votes for next election cycle! Maybe we can start a small test on if maybe lowering cannabis from schedule 1 to schedule 2! Anything else is too unrealistic!"
When republicans control congress and the president: "Fuck you, we're pushing for as many things to hurt as many people as possible. We don't give two shits otherwise. We'll never stop."
If the democrats had half the effort of republicans, but actually helping people and pushing for bills, we'd probably actually have something change in the last 10 years.
Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Somehow everytime I watch it, it sucks me into its world. The comics are better, but it's much easier for me to rewatch this every year than the comics every few years.
Oh no, the email I sent to someone didn't get removed from their inbox after I deleted it from mine!
Oh jeez, the post I made on a public access fourm can be read by some dude!
I find raddle so god damn boring. No app, the website is almost too plain to use, no third party API to do anything, and it also doesn't remove EXIF data if you post something, on a site that "cares" about privacy.
Like many, when the recent defederation went down, I decided to create a couple other logins and see what the wider fediverse has had to say about it....
I respect it. I saw someone who said on lemmy.world that Beehaw needing a "Why are you joining?" was requiring an essay. I typed in like 8 words and I got in.
I've been playing more and more magic recently, and have been even maintaining both a modern deck (izzet murktide sorry) and a pioneer deck (arclight Phoenix though it's not suuuuper strong rn) I don't really play commander because unfortunately none of my friends IRL actually play with me!...
I haven't been buying sealed product since WOTC sent the Pikertons to that one guy. But I am lately just Commander only, and my local shop has a biweekly tournament and I came in 4th place in the 1st of 6 rounds for a prize pool.
