TOS was pretty goofy— ya know, when it wasn’t pure sci-fi horror. it was also gruesome and scary as shit sometimes! SNW does a good job of capturing the goofy tone specific to TOS, although Trek has always had a pretty goofy streak. You can easily find it in every series!

willingly and knowingly breaking the law is a crime, regardless of if you agree with the law.

even our founding fathers said that unjust laws shouldn’t be followed… and here you are, commenting all over this post about how much you disagree with this legal ruling… it seems you’re only happy when it’s laws you happen to like.

but thc concentrate and opiate derivatives should be illegal.

why? because you personally don’t like them?

even hard alcohol should be regulated.

it has been for over a century. you know what has, consistently, decreased the consumption of alcohol (and opiates, btw), specially in minors? Legalizing cannabis… in all forms. It’s even caused a drop in use of cannabis in minors due to regulation and education in places where it’s been legalized.

when you make something illegal, it doesn’t stop people from using it. it just pushes it onto the black market where impure versions are distributed without care or concern for who buys it. and that’s dangerous.

not according to the law. it’s uncommon for those convicted of murder to get life sentences. a life sentence is only available in almost all states for First degree and Second degree murder cases when aggravating circumstances were involved and when a plea-bargain wasn’t reached (rare), and most muted cases, themselves aren’t first-degree murder anyway.

most people convicted of murder serve between 20-40 years.

it’s called Justice.

no, that’s vengeance, and that is not justice.

cool, thanks!

I’d offer some suggestions re: adding search and sort, but I’m not familiar with the api (and I’m about to go to bed), but best of luck!

I hadn’t really considered that, however I could see a convincing argument being made for that… such as:

people are incarcerated not only as a punitive measure (which I disagree with; prison should be rehabilitative and to serve to protect society form dangerous criminals, not simply to punish). doing incarceration, certain rights are severely curtailed to this end, but what purpose does it serve to suspend the right to vote other to disenfranchise what are primarily people of color? when this result is highlighted (ad the majority of this who advocate for this right to be withheld also happen to hate PoC) the dots are easy to connect.

~~how tf is it missing the #2 lemmy instance but somehow has every other one? also, so search, so sort…~~

~~not to mention, there’s no link to the site here~~

edit: these are fixed!

good start!

well… it’s not a good strategy if you’re lying your ass off, it happens to be true, AND you conspired with your lawyers to commit the crime you’re accused of.

now, Jack Smith (and every reasonable person on earth, the more clever dolphins, cetaceans, chimps, corvidae, octopods, and a couple of transdimentional mice) knows this is the case, so this is definitely a terrible strategy. It’s also patently Trump to blame anyone else for his own actions but himself. Predictable, even.

it’s not a matter of what you or I want; it’s a matter of justice, of what’s fair and what’s right.

murder? yeah you lost your rights to vote, deal with it.

and why should they? they’ve paid their debt to society.

oh, I know— it’s the last ass-fucking on the prison pipeline— and why it’s so important that people who have paid their debt to society get their lives back afterward.

oh, wait… I guess I misread that part of Trump’s indictment…

you have to admit, this whole this is pretty... baroque in its complexity. pardon me for tripping over a few of the details!

indirectly, they already are

it must be a lemmy.wold thing. each instance does things a little bit differently, but, hey, at least you found a shortcut with the app!
