or even pardoned if they suffered greatly

Uh, no.

I think you may be underestimating the types of people on death row and the crimes they have committed. Which is understandable as most people don’t really encounter people like that and don’t really consider the true horror the crimes committed

These people (and I’m assuming guilt has been correctly assigned here for the purposes of the argument) have committed horrific crimes. Raping and murdering children, wiping out entire familys, abudction then torture then murder, those kinds of things.

For example, the case of Johnny Johnson: https://youtu.be/ntpK9D3935o (warning: this crime is about as bad as it gets and is described in detail here). I won’t describe the crime here. The video is worth a watch if you’re curious but you have been warned.

There is no pardoning that. Ever. Under no circumstances should they ever be allowed to walk among us ever again. Even under the strictest possible supervision.

These crimes are so awful that we simply cannot forgive, and these people cannot be rehabilitated, and no second chance should be granted.

Death penalty or not (to which I can see both sides of the argument and is probably still something to be debated but isn’t the point of this comment) I can’t envision any solution of pardoning these criminals is ever acceptable.

Never said I was smart. I just paid attention a little bit.

The point being made is the fact that you not knowing is on you, not on anyone else.

No need to choose to be offended by that.

I didn’t read them and I still knew.

The new headlights “blend in” for me: they look like they could be from any manufacturer.

They are not ugly and it wouldn’t stop me buying the car, but it looks like the Tesla has lost some of it’s soul.

What might stop me buying would be the removal of the stalks by the steering wheel.

And yet anon’s girlfriend still cheated…

• It yet another step along the ever increasing march to enshitifaction where everything on the fucking internet wants to collect data about me.
• It’s utterly pointless and is ergo wasting system resources.

Succulently put.

Purchasing a new car recently, and the Polstar 2 which I liked the look of was taken off my shortlist the femtosecond that I learned it came with Android automotive.

Google’s track record is appalling. This is somewhat okay if you’re getting it “for free” (yes yes, “you are the product”, I know), but it’s wholly unacceptable if I’m paying for it and I risk Google weaseling out of updates after a couple of years.

Apps cannot install other apps without your permission.

You probably just have a shit phone with loads of shovelware on it.

No, they don’t.

These “people” have no empathy. They literally don’t care, and nothing you can say or do will make them care.

They are scum. Simple as that.

• Adding options

• Gnome desktop

Pick one.

I got two crucial SSDs recently.

The first one was DOA and was so broken that the two motherboards I tested refused to power on with it installed.

The second one was a replacement for the first and exhibited the exact same behavior.

I did not get a third. Maybe their HDDs are better, but I’m not planning on finding out.

What if they leave an anonymous tip that you’re distributing CSAM?

The second trial, set for early October in a Florida state court, arose out of a 2019 crash north of Miami where owner Stephen Banner’s Model 3 drove under the trailer of an 18-wheeler big rig truck that had pulled into the road, shearing off the Tesla’s roof and killing Banner. Autopilot failed to brake, steer or do anything to avoid the collision, according to the lawsuit filed by Banner’s wife.

Is this the guy who was literally paying no attention to the road at all and was watching a movie whilst the car was in motion?

I legit can’t find information on it now as every result I can find online is word for word identical to that small snippet. Such is modern journalism.

I know people like to get a hard on with the word “autopilot”, but even real pilots with real autopilot still need to “keep an eye on things” when the system is engaged. This is why we have two humans in the cockpit on those big commercial jets.

I’m not taking about damage repair, I’m talking about maintenance.

They are two different things.

If a rock smashes through a panel, then of course that would require intervention. Of course it would. That’s common sense. I’m not claiming otherwise.

I’ve had my panels for a while now, and I’ve done nothing to them. The manufacturers of the panels AND the people who fitted them both told me they were maintenance free. Which they have been.

You are calling “bullshit” on something you’ve never used or apparently understand. Please stop.

Well I’ve done literally zero to my panels since they were installed and they are working just fine.

I was in fact told they were maintenance free when they were installed unless they get exceptionally dirty, which they haven’t as the rain cleans them.

So maybe calm down with your “bullshit” emotional responses.

My money is on sabotage on the plane itself, not a missile or suchlike. Some kind of bomb or device which caused the wing to break off.

Footage shows the plane falling vertically and seemed to be missing a wing.

If you absolutely want to crash a plane and kill everyone on board, deleting one of the wings is a pretty surefire way to do it.

They have already left.

It was a hit and run thing.

Unless you live in a very dusty area with no rain, there is literally zero maintenance on a modern domestic installation.

If you appease the Nazis/Russians, all you tell them is that doing what they did was okay, and that they can do it again and again.

Invade, treaty, break treaty and invade again. Rinse and repeat.

Sometimes they have to be told no and be told very loudly that “you’ve gone too far”. Just like the playground bullies they are. This is that moment.

You, and people like you, were part of the problem when the Nazis were invading their neighbors. You’re part of the problem now.

Shame on you.

There were Nazi appeasers back in the day as well.

You are no better.
