Why do some people not enjoy living? in c/[email protected]
[–] eatthecake 2 points 1 day ago

Most people want to see themselves as having overcome some sort of adversity to earn whatever they have in life, and that creates a bias to see one’s own life as unlucky and miserable. I definitely went through a phase of seeing my life this way as a kid.

This is your own bias speaking, you assume most people are just like you and that your own personal experience is universal.

Texas Republican proposes public executions of undocumented immigrants in c/politics
[–] eatthecake -5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Valentina Gomez, a Texas Republican, drew sharp criticism after suggesting undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes should be publicly executed.

What about the violent crime of setting someone on fire? I have to admit I have no problem with shooting that guy in the head (if he's guilty).

"The human touch” at the end of the day, is just warm, soft skin paired with a caring voice. We have already replicated the caring voice.

Spoken like someone who plans to marry a sexbot.

I remember going to work in the city and thinking something was off but it took a moment to figure out what was different. The streets were filled with leaves because the trees were all dying.

Disgraced basketballer Tiny Pinder sentenced to eight years' prison over violent sexual assaults (www.abc.net.au)
 

Serial rapist given reduced sentence for having the cognitive level of a 14 year old boy. He has been a known rapist for decades but they will still let him out to do it again.

From wikipedia:

In 1976, Pinder was found guilty of unlawful carnal knowledge of a teenage girl in Miami, Florida. He was given five years probation.[21][22]

In 1992, Pinder faced charges of attempted sexual assault. He was convicted by the Western Australian Supreme Court and was sentenced to 18 months' jail.[23][24] In the following year he was also found guilty of raping a 23-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl; the three offences had occurred between 1988 and 1990.[21] In 1996, he was sentenced to five years' jail for sexual offences involving a 15-year-old girl.[25][26] In 2001, he was acquitted in the New South Wales District Court on a charge of raping a 19-year-old woman the previous year.[27] In 2013, he was arrested on a charge relating to an alleged rape in 1987. He was cleared in August 2016.[28]

In 2021, Pinder was arrested and charged with stalking a woman in Sydney. He was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment.[29] In April 2023, he pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault that occurred in November 2009 and March 2021.[21] In March 2024, he was sentenced to eight years prison for the two assaults.[20]

Pinder was assaulted in prison in 2021 and 2023, requiring him to undergo CT and MRI scans for his injuries.

Is this really about a change to maritime fuels? I'm genuinely curious because the change is extreme.
