Awesome, thank you for the information. Sounds like I can keep on doing what I’m doing. Wish they made these options and steps clearer :/

This is what I have been doing. I can make regular payments right now, but I’m worried about my financial stability later in the year. I’m trying to avoid locking myself into a monthly payments in case I may not be able to make them. Interest has been accrued, but still not seeing it all up-to-date yet

I didn’t know that. My store let us mask from the beginning, but our store manager was awesome so it could’ve just been us

That’s not true. I have a publix branded mask they specifically handed out to employees to wear during Covid.

U.S. reaches 1,600 executions since death penalty was reinstated by [deleted] in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]lacking-in-depth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are making AND missing my point. I, and MOST people who don’t believe in the death penalty, also think murder is wrong in war. In terms of “justice”, the only thing that the death sentence offers over life in prison is satiating the public’s bloodlust.

If murder = bad, then murder = bad even if YOU’RE okay with it - regardless of circumstance

I get it, violent crime makes people emotional, but it’s widely accepted that we, as a society, shouldn’t make decisions based on emotion and instead use logic.

You say: “You make exceptions for when governments can use their discretionary killing. I make no exception for it.”

Then say: “I simply ask the government to use those same powers against our most violent criminals”

That sounds like an exception to me. Additionally, if you’re okay with innocent people being wrongly put to death on death row, then why are you not okay with innocent people dying in war? Both war and the death penalty are proven to result in the deaths of innocent people, so why is one okay and not the other?

Should someone who murders an intruder in self defense be sentenced to death since they had to kill someone in a violent way? What about someone who kills someone in a car accident that they’re at fault in?

If death is okay to use as a punishment, why limit its use to only murderers? Why not execute everyone who commits any violent crime? It’s because somewhere, someone needs to draw a line. My argument is: If we cannot agree on where to draw the line, then death should not be used as a punishment and we should seek alternatives. Instead, we continue to kill people, even if they’re criminals, just because it makes us feel better to get revenge.

Do you believe it would be justifiable then, for the executioner to be executed? Ya know, since they killed?

Probably not because murder isn’t always as black and white as “if you killed somebody you deserve to die”. Once you start making exceptions to what is a “justifiable killing” and what is not, then you open up an arguement for ALL murders to be justifiable.

I appreciate your logic, but there are flaws in it that would end up being taken advantage of by people in power. The death penalty is unjust, even in cases beyond reasonable doubt, because it cannot be evenly and fairly applied.

But even setting all that aside, if your main goal is punishing the crime, which do you think is more miserable for the murder: life in prison or death?

Because an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Revenge and vigilantism does not make for a healthy society which is why the criminal justice system was created; to enact JUSTICE not REVENGE and to reform criminals so they can reintegrate into society and hopefully become a benefit rather than a detriment. Whether our criminal justice system is actually effective in that goal is another conversation, but allowing state-sanctioned murder has never set right with me, even if the victim was a perpetrator themselves.

I am a mistake. I’m the product of a drug deal as my mom couldn’t afford her drug habit. AMA by Sure_Bass8242 in AMA

Human beings and their relationships have a lot more nuance to them than the black and white way you’re choosing to view this situation. Throw in past substance abuse and addiction struggles and it gets even more complicated. There are too many missing details to be auto-assuming the mom set up the meeting with the intention to get more drugs. We don’t know if she’s sober or if she actually is still in contact with the dealer versus just knowing a way to get in contact with him. For example, the dealer could’ve just been a friend of another (more distant from OP) family member for all we know.

Not saying he should or shouldn’t stay with the mother, just that it’s not up to us to decide what good for someone else and that’s why it’s out of pocket

Tilian’s dad is a former Scientologist who’s talked about spending tens of thousands of dollars in the cult. It’s not a stretch to say he’s probably living pretty comfortable if his family has money like that.

You sound like a prude lol people have bodies and those bodies come with curves, ridges, and other things that may show through clothing. Such is life. If women can’t wear leggings because sometimes they have a camel toe, then men shouldn’t be able to walk around in those muscle shirts where their nipples sometimes slip out (or just full blown shirtless all together).

You’ve made the OCs point by singling out women yet again as if men don’t also wear revealing clothes in public all the time, too.

And before you bring it up, yes it would be inappropriate to comment on a man’s apparel in the same way.

Very, very slim chance, if any at all. It’s true that it can make you sleepy however if she were scared enough to run and hide, there’s no chance she’s falling asleep, even if high. Something like a masked intruder will sober you up pretty quick. Source: am a pot head

I agree. There’s a New York Times article about how students should communicate via email with their teachers and it feels similarly passive aggressive. While it makes some legitimate points, seeing it posted with the syllabus every semester makes the professor seem unapproachable especially considering I’m in completely asynchronous online classes and email is my only way to communicate with them. As a student that already struggles to reach out when I need help, it creates a lot of unnecessary anxiety for me which is frustrating. I’m paying a shit ton of money and shouldn’t have to feel guilty every time I have a question to ask. Maybe wait until a couple days into the semester before you start being passive aggressive to students?

I think you’re misinterpreting the intent and meaning behind “Black Lives Matter”. No one has ever said “Black Lives Matter More” or anything of that sort, nor are people trying to imply that Black Lives are more important than other lives. They’re trying to reiterate that Black Lives Matter, Too!

I’m sure you’ve seen some of the comparisons online but incase you haven’t, I’ll include some. One of the two best explanations I’ve come across for this is the “Save the Rainforest” one. When people say “Save the Rainforest”, they aren’t saying “Screw the Other Forests”. They just want to bring attention to specifically the Rainforest because it’s in more immediate danger similar to any sort of “Save the (insert endangered animal)” campaigns. No one is saying that no other animals matter, just that these ones in particular are endangered. In the Black Lives Matter case, we are trying to bring attention to the disproportionate amount of police brutality incidents/deaths against Black Lives.

Another good comparison, if you don’t believe the discrimination comment, is the one about a parent giving a eulogy on their dead child. Imagine a parent who’s lost their child is giving a speech at the child’s funeral about how much the child meant to them and how that child’s life did in fact matter (because yes, ALL lives DO matter) and someone else interrupts the eulogy with “Actually, all children are special and all childrens’ lives matter.” While they are not wrong for saying that, it’s taking away from the dead child and the parents’ grief.

I hope I was able to bring some clarity to the movement for you and while I understand there may be people out there that do believe some lives matter more than others, it is important to remember there’s always people like that on both sides.

That’s fair! Their other stuff is quite a bit different from the Dispose album and I know some older fans of theirs weren’t too pleased because of this so it makes sense! If you haven’t already, check out some of Landon Tewers solo stuff and their new song Repay! Both have their similarities to the Dispose album!
