Nothing fancy, some generic 2560x1440 Acer IPS

I have a 4k OLED w/ HDR for gaming or whatever my main activity is, a second 2560x1440 for background videos, but I want a vertical monitor for terminal outputs and documents. Also just more space when I’m juggling a lot of windows

just bought a third yesterday…

Some do

You are twisting words beyond recognition here, and for what? The guy was an IDF soldier. How is that not “working along IDF soldiers”? It’s not saying “working for the IDF”, which seems to be your criterion.

Next you’re going to complain that it says soldiers, plural, I assume? That would at least be a valid criticism in your quest to… archive what, exactly?

Many students, specifically PhD students, also work for the university. I didn’t say “work under”, I said “work with”, as in, work at the same faculty, i.e. they are coworkers.

She called him out publicly for volunteering for a foreign military currently enacting a genocide. It’s a big stretch to call that “outing” or “public harassment”.

And nowhere does the headline claim something different.

I genuinely don’t understand what point you are trying to make.

He volunteered for the IDF. That makes him an IDF soldier.

He’s a Professor at her medical faculty. That means she has to work with him to get her degree.

She refused to do that.

The university suspended her.

If NASA was in the habit of exploding babies, you’d’ve been well within your right to not want to have any contact with your HS teacher either.

It’s gambling. Highly complicated strategies exists, but at the end, it’s gambling. And somehow we’ve let ourselves get convinced that’s the way the world should be run

“defund the police!”

AI slop, sadly

I mean, sure, but what else? I wouldn’t call ‘not voting for a candidate you don’t like’ a movement

If they get life without parole they can’t, either. But if in ten years you figure out they were actually innocent, you can release an inmate. You can’t unkill an executee

The deterrent argument usually goes “people are more afraid of dying than of getting imprisoned, so they’ll not commit that crime”. This probably doesn’t work. Because even if the basic premise was true (it likely isn’t), the consequences are bad anyways. You need to draw the line somewhere. Let’s say murder gets you the death penalty, and so does rape. Now a rapist has nothing to lose, might as well kill the victim to hide the evidence.

As you said, the standard for evidence needs to be very high. That means long and protracted trials, multiple rounds of appeals, etc. You’re condemning the loved ones to years upon years of proceedings, having to face the perpetrator again and again. This is not a gut feeling, there’s empirical studies about this.

Reduce that time and barrier of proof, more innocents die. What percentage is acceptable?

There is no rational reason to use the death penalty over life without parole. The only reason is the base, if very understandable, instinct to have people that did unspeakable things suffer. But if suffering is the point, why stop at executions? Why not first torture them for what they did?

I firmly believe that the carceral system should serve to rehabilitate those that can be rehabilitated, and for the worst offenders, isolate and protect victims, their families and wider society from them. Putting punishment over the well-being of victims and co-victims, and over the risk to innocents, is not something we should want from a civilized society.

The death penalty does not work. Not as a deterrent, not as closure for the families, not even to reduce costs. Even if you think there are acts so vile that someone forfeits their right to life, there are many reasons against the death penalty. For example, what does rock-solid evidence mean? There have been cases with good evidence, multiple witnessed and a full confession, that later turned out to be wrong convictions. What percentage of innocents among the convicted is acceptable?

Here’s a great video by Shaun that goes through the arguments better than I could: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L30_hfuZoQ8

What movements? As an outsider watching the US, are there any notable workers’ movements over there at the moment?

Any word can be used as a slur? Really? Please explain what a slur is to you. I agree that every word can be used as an insult, you absolute Brokkoli, but that’s down to tone and context, more than anything, isn’t a slur more than that?

I don’t want to piss in the All-Nations LGBTQ+ Peace Garden tho :c
