I can agree with that.

Yeah nothing has come out showing it has any tangible positive benefits. Shocking I know haha.

I appreciate your points and they are valid.I agree with you for the most part honestly. If there was video evidence of them committing the crimes I could see expediting the process. But with AI now even that isn’t 100%. The most reasonable argument for it I’ve heard goes something like the following. The person being put to death should never have the opportunity to experience happiness again. Which they will have the opportunity to do while incarcerated. They will enjoy a book, make a friend, have a good conversation or enjoy drugs/exercise. I don’t really have any empathy for a serial rapist and I don’t personally believe a person like that deserves or is capable of any type or rehabilitation.

I recognize that sentiment. I’ve heard arguments that a person can/will eventually find a level of happiness/contentment while incarcerated. They will eventually enjoy a book or have a friend. Same can’t be said for their deceased victims.

B and E are the strongest cases against it in my opinion. I think C could be mitigated with new practices. A is arguable dependent on the individuals morals, ethically, youd have a better argument. D feels like we just haven’t tried, what about a FAT dose of fent or a gunshot to the head. I’d be fine with killing convicted serial rapists, serial murderers and serial pedophiles. But that brings up B, wrongful convictions happen all the time and you’re right, it is final.

Yeah, its tough because I feel like if we KNOW a person has commited atrocities, kill em. But, there have been so many cases of wrongful conviction it gets messy.

Wow, thats pretty sweet.

I get the question is kind of nebulous. I’ve gotten some great answers though!

That’s an excellent answer I respect the engineering a ton as well.

That’s a pretty reasonable answer haha.

For the most part yes. But when I didn’t have much money cars were like my enemy.

Hopefully with a metal back that doesn’t hurt all the time.

The competition aspect makes alot of sense. Especially when I consider both the preparation and execution go into it. I think if I was the builder I’d HAVE to be the driver/racer too though.

Yeah, thats the main understanding I have of it. Just seems like an odd way to express your personality.

That’s true, both can be used as status symbols. At least with a watch, once you buy it, mission complete. No need to go throwing new gears in it to make it tick louder.

I’d be careful throwing diagnostics around. Last thing you want is the individual doing some internet doctoring. Could lead to them excusing their behaviors due to self diagnosed nonsense or self medicating based on an uneducated hunch. Not saying you sound wrong necessarily, just dont wanna add fuel to the fire. The person in question should ABSOLUTELY seek professional help and ask these questions as soon as possible.

No that’s extremely not normal. I’d also heavily question someone like this. Mostly how they genuinely feel about their romantic partner. Typically a romantic partnership is built on a type of friendship. It sounds like the person doesn’t understand platonic relationships. I’m extremely skeptical they would be able to have healthy romantic relationships without that understanding.

Yeah, unfortunately it could not have waited as my start date at the new job is too soon. My current boss was great and I learned so much from him. Felt wrong to do it over the phone but I couldnt think of a better alternative.

Never heard of it, but, I am dumb…

I used to love the ratchet and clank series. But I haven’t had a sony console since the PS2
