As she confessed to the murder of her three kids, it's just a question if she goes to jail or the psychward. There's a strong argument to be made that she's basically insane but also mishandled as mental patient (IE. her carers are responsible for the incident is the argument they want to make). That said, I don't think being able to plead insanity should relieve one of culpability. It feels like a loophole to get away with murder, and it does get used like that broadly speaking. I also think that because she's a women she gets treated with kid's gloves, as if women aren't capable of responsibility. It's weirdly sexist and infantalizing. Like, they want to make the case that it was largely the fault if bad psychiatry and that she's basically not culpable. Idk man. A man in the same court room would have a much harder time garnering sympathy. Sorry for going there.

Millennial soy boy bait game. Refer to the chart:

This is another OJ case, where the defense has effectively shifted the blame to a systemic issue, with on demographic focusing on the systemic issue (psychiatry and post-partum depression) and the other purely on the crime. It's a bit silly though. Getting emotional over systemic issue, be it psychiatry or racism, doesn't change the fact if you murdered someone or not. It's like ragebait.

Corrupt judges are a problem regardless if you have the death penalty or not. Getting caught in 4k murderizing is an acceptable standard for capital I think. There's no doubt that Breivik or most school shooters aren't guilty. We aren't gaining anything by treating the unacceptable with kid gloves.

Billionaire epstein class. You can just pay off the people you wrong and you have so much leverage over other elites via blackmail and sheer power. The problem with being above the law however is that you have to deal with other people who are also above the law. People will send assassins to kill you if it makes sense to for their survival. Your political success might be directly tied to your life. You probably don't really want to be above the law. Life is a lot more chaotic without a sovereign power over you.

The forum design itself is perfect in my opinion A search function would make the blog 10x better. Trolling through pages to find what you want sucks.

Most people don't even know what an epistemology is and are doing just fine. Just reading/watching plenty of self-help and Actualized should get you ahead. Anything beyound that is for mastery.

I was convinced. I used to have the same cookie cutter bot libtard attitude to the death penalty. I'm being less ideological about this now than before. I don't see any convincing arguments for why not anymore. That's just a technical question. A high burden proof would solve that. Do you doubt Breivik is not guilty of mass murder? Or insert school shooter? Easy to say when its not your family and kids being murdered. In practice, certain crimes are unacceptable and humans want justice. You don't want to live with rapists and murderers, even when they are technically safe. You don't want Breivik to be your carer when your old.

I think it depends on your personality and goals wether or not university will grow you. It's basically just a more adult school. It's no universal solution to growth. Graduating doesn't make you intelligent or developed. The main reason to go to university is because it alligns with a specific goal in my opinion.

Not race, but class. University is largely an upper-middle class thing, even when it's free. Yes. Maga is part of an authoritarian backlash against technocratic centrism, which is a global phenomenon. Like Reform in the UK and AfD in Germany. It's class problem. You can't educate away grievances with how society is run.

Most people are busy just surviving and don't have time for non-local issues. The (psychologically global) issues of faraway foreign nations are not an individuals problem fundamentally. Malaria is an African problem, for Africans to solve. That's why it's a "donation". Your not obligated to save the world. You only have a right to your own work, as they say. It's funny, because there's a subtle implication of looking down on Africans and thinking of them as useless children who need to be saved. There's truth to that in the sense that they are less developed, but I don't think they need to be saved necessarily. It's a subtle western arrogance, where we see African countries not as nations with an agency of their own but as kind of token. We don't every refer to them as countries. Just "Africa" (which is an entire continent). Let them sort their shit out at least with the dignity of not being infantilized.

It might get worse. More of an echochamber. Less checks on bad epistemics. Bade ideas might circulate more. More redpilly. I'm not very confident, but who knows.

But it's not blind. It's relative to serious crime with a high burden of proof. Beyond a reasonable doubt. Like Breivik. There's no doubt about Breivik's guilt and morally there's no reason to not kill him in my opinion. The game the Norwegian government has to play to keep him locked up, as the maximum sentence is 21 years, is ridiculous. It's not an accomplishment to keep a mass murderer in jail indefinitely. If Lindsay Clancy is found guilty I see no reason why not give her capital. It would be more than fair in that case.

It's not just cosmetics sold in an official capacity, but also stuff like gold or accounts. The value applies to within the game itself. An immutable asset is only practical for speculation. It's not in of itself relevant to people playing a game and whatever market sprouts around it. And making nfts that can be used across different games is bs. Different games have different code and assets. You can't just port stuff in. It has to be made specifically for that game. At that point it doesn't make any sense to not make people buy thing separately.

NFTs took off entirely as a speculative market. When the rug had been pulled and people realized that you couldn't use NFTs for anything it crashed.

I feel like blockchain stuff and nfts are just a solution looking for a problem. There exist already successful digital markets long before nfts where a thing, like Runescape and CSGO. I don't see why you even need blockchain technology in the first place. Backend doesn't make a commodity any more valuable.

Magical thinking. The real answer is that war and carnivory is caused by finitude. The lack of resources. If you can decrease finitude, you take away the reason for war and carnivory. It's probably not possible to do that maximally though. Your better off accepting reality for what it is than for what it should be, metaphysically.

Social media used to be an escape from life. Now reality is an escape from social media.

Whenever I play as Franklin, cops start shooting me when I walk past. I think that's pretty realistic.

It's relative to class. Actually hispanic, black and native americans are the least educated in the US. White people are among the most educated on average. Maga is an exception because they are poor.

I think it's an extremely bourgeoisie standard to require many years of education for non-specialized work. Especially when you have to pay for it yourself. It's like elitist gentrification of the job market.

It's not a high bar to not kill someone. It's really like you care more about the murderer than the victims. 21 years is nothing compared a life. It's a liberal dogma to think that death penalty is inherently wrong. There's no real reason why it can't be worked with.

Technocratic delusion. The world operates on feelings and intuition. You don't want to live next door to a child murderer. You don't want Breivik to be your children's school teacher. Releasing him after 10-20 years on good behavior is completely unacceptable, even if technically he'll never kill again. The community themselves will kill him. He would get curb stomped at Majorstuen station by a drunk bearded middle-aged man

No, that's stupid and overly idealistic. With that logic you can kill people and be released again on good behavior. It completely shits on the victims. 21 years is nothing compared to a life. It's a joke. This liberal compassion undermines the victims of serious crime.
