I personally would be fine with life sentences in a better prison system, as long as they got regular parole hearings, but in this hypothetical, prisons would not be torture like they are now.

Oh shit discord's deal with microsoft fell through because Discord rejected the 12 billion dollar offer. That is... breathtaking. Imagine saying no to an overvaluation that large.

My dad changed all the sounds on my computer to Strongbad sounds one morning, I was sure my computer was hacked and I was freaked the fuck out.

My impression is that most people do not eat healthy, exercise regularly, maintain good posture, moderate their indulgences and vices effectively, avoid procrastination, sleep a full 8 hours every night as best they can, save their money, etc.; instead, they strongly tend to make choices that produce short-term benefits or pleasure at the cost of long-term unhappiness or even harm, even when they say they would rather do those good, wise things, even when they know they would be happier tomorrow having done them.
The people I do know who eat healthy, exercise regularly, devote themselves to long-term goals instead of playing videogames, and in all ways optimize for a wise lifestyle are anxious and miserable
I don't think you can take for granted that the things we think of as 'healthy' choices lead to happiness

The bad takes have started to roll in:
Tweeter is a Capitol Producer/Reporter for NBC..@SpeakerPelosi
speaking at presser with CBC: Thank you George Floyd for sacrificing your life for justice...Because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous for justice.
Jesus Christ Pelosi shut the fuck up. He didn’t sacrifice a damn thing, it was stolen from him. God damn it. Just fucking why.

The helicopters that were deployed in Brooklyn magically disappeared after the verdict was read.
Almost like the news doesn't want to cover people celebrating the jury doing the right thing for once, only if people take their rage into the streets.

Nancy Pelosi needs to resign. That statement made me ill.
George Floyd didn't sacrifice his life any more than the slaves did. His, like theirs, was stolen by white barbarism.

I think that they came back guilty on all three means that prosecutors have always been able to get convictions but have been tanking cases to not get any.
That is a hurdle that needs to be address in addition to making sure cops have their actions regularly reviewed and punished where appropriate.
