  • pursue Federal jurisdiction and seek the death penalty regardless of other factors

    That’s terrifying but seems badly written from a practical standpoint. If the AG is compelled to always go for death regardless of other factors it may sway juries to not convict in more cases where the death penalty really isn’t deserved, and let free somebody who might have otherwise spent a reasonable (note: I say reasonable by the standards of our sick and twisted justice system) amount of time in prison.


  • A lot of this is true. And the system is designed to keep the masses in such an incredibly insecure place when it comes to living and health that they cannot find the time, money, or courage to risk it.

    People are barely keeping afloat. They pay their rent hoping their next paycheck will bring up their account balance before the check clears. People are using installment plans for the grocery trip. They have irregular swing shifts and/or two jobs that make scheduling incredibly difficult.

    Organizing stuff takes a lot of people’s time, mental effort, and money.

    I’m definitely not saying don’t organize. I’m saying do try and understand especially for the less privileged (among Americans) it’s really an insane task.





  • Nintendo’s main consoles usually change pretty drastically generation to generation after SNES.

    SNES -> N64, 3D graphics and bizarre controller.

    N64 -> GameCube, sensible controller and generational leap in graphics (better than the PS2 for sure).

    GameCube -> Wii, shit graphics but with motion control

    Wii -> Wii U, decent graphics, tablet!

    Wii U -> Switch, Portable hybrid

    Switch -> Switch 2, uhhhh spec bump

    It’s definitely out of character
