the 8th Amendment leaves "cruel and unusual punishment" up for interpretation. if the court decides something isn't cruel and unusual, then according to the law, it isn't. it doesn't matter how much evidence there is to the contrary because court rulings like this don't have to be based in fact.

Alabama got snow yesterday. Well, it was more like tiny hail, but that's something at least.

It would be more fare if it was 50% up to 100M 75% up to 1B , 90% >1B. Does that include wrongful convictions and drug possessions? The death penalty is not a good deterrent for crime and is inhumane no matter what method is used. Might I suggest abolishing slavery in prisons instead?

Jesus. I have 125k on my spotify wrapped. only 8.7k is my favorite band, though. I've been branching out. It's nice to see I'm not alone in being over 100k minutes.

I listen to music anywhere from 5-9 hours a day. It's mainly while I'm at work, since I work in a library annex building and it gets pretty boring, or doing school work. I listen to CDs while I'm driving most days, so that doesn't even contribute to my spotify minutes.

vibes and energy are synonymous in this context. she thinks it's more about the energy aka vibes of the candidate than their actual policies
comment in response to post
Voting because someone has better vibes ain't it. Harris doesn't even actually represent those things. She said she would "follow the law" when it comes to trans people. That isn't advocating for progress. It's advocating for the status quo, which is historically oppressive.
comment in response to post
I am aware. I don't think you understand that Trump wants to commit genocide here, too. My entire point is that if Harris had denounced Israel, she probably would have won.
comment in response to post
I honestly don't even know what that last line means. If you're trying to say that Palestinian Americans shouldn't stand a hard line on the genocide of their people, then you're wrong. Would you be willing to overlook the genocide of trans people because the other candidate wants more genocides?
comment in response to post
I hate Harris. She supports genocide overseas. I hate Trump even more. He supports the genocide of my people in my country as well as genocide overseas. Trump wants to put undocumented immigrants into "detention camps" until they are deported. The waitlist for hearings is years long already.
comment in response to post
I think they did vote based on their heart. Their heart opposed genocide. If Harris wanted to win, then she should have done what the majority of Americans wanted: opposed Israel. Surprisingly, funding a genocide puts you on a lot of people's bad side.
comment in response to post
So, all the people who didn't vote for Democrats were actually supporting genocide by not voting for either of the candidates who support genocide? Bullshit. If Harris had come out and said she would stop arming Israel, she would've had a better chance. This is the fault of the genocidaires.
comment in response to post
Don't blame people who oppose genocide for the actions of racist white people who would rather put people in prison camps than have a black woman in office and the consequences of said black woman's refusal to revoke support for the genocide of Palestinians.

Oh, don't be disingenuous. "Stars and Stripes Forever" is the name of an American patriotic song. You also used the American flag emoji, and the picture has an American flag turned into an infinity sign and a quote that is specifically talking about the United States.

Nationalism and American exceptionalism are in contradiction with the values that Star Trek advocates for

yes. that was the joke
comment in response to post
As someone who's lived their entire life in Alabama, I will say that while people here are poor and uneducated, it isn't entirely their fault. It is the fault of the rich businessmen who pay politicians to defund education so they can have mindless workers for their low wage labor.

At least he ain't hiding behind a Warhammer-esque AI generated picture of Donald Trump. Surely, the fascist imagery isn't lost to you.
