Livin’ till I’m not

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

I am getting lots of incoming questions about the public execution of Nidal Hasan, mostly because I have been outspoken on wanting public executions for over a decade.

My position is simple: Executions should be public and brutal, not private and medicalized. They are the ultimate example of the state's monopoly on violence, and the only way to keep that from running out of control is to confront voters with the trade they have made every single time, that they might have appropiate confidence or revulsion in the institution.

This is not new thinking. George Washington thought the same. The way we have shifted from hanging to firing squads to doctors quietly injecting chemicals that send our worst gently off to sleep is awful and dystopian, a total short-circuiting of important feedback mechanisms. It makes needless executions more likely, not less so. People who demean this as barbaric or yucky miss the whole point. It doesn't somehow become torture or inhumane (as the UN is suddenly claiming) just because we decline to hide the act behind a curtain.

And then there are those who suggest any revel in the death of those who truly deserve it is an indicator of a broken or diseased mind. To the contrary. It is normal, good, and aligned with our natural and national order. That it has not been done here in 60 years is an indictment in and of itself.

And that is without even getting into the fact that men were not hung for stealing horse, but that horses may not be stolen.

"I would to God that one of the most attrocious in each State was hung in Gibbets, up on a gallows five times as high as the one prepared by Haman. No punishment, in my opinion, is too great for the Man, who can build his greatness upon his Country’s ruin."
- George Washington, 1778

@mattyac_ 9ers fan here. That stuff is uncalled for, especially with how injury prone the 9ers are

@TKOCollector I feel like the solution to this is so easy. Move the touchback back to the 20 yard line but move the kicker to their own 20 or 25 yard line. Get rid of the “landing zone” rules. Keep the kicking team players lined up on the 40 like they are now.

Actually there is a slight difference, lab grown diamonds are constructed under a carefully curated environment and are typically atomically perfect. Natural diamonds can sometimes have imperfections included during their formation process. You’re usually quite literally getting a better product for much cheaper

Cowards locking replies.
Elon, I once more ask, please stop grey checkmarks/government institutions from closing replies.

We must have accountability.

What’s funny is 400 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the fraud found wasted on Somali daycares in Minnesota alone. Outrage over this but not over that. The fraud going on in these NGO’s is orders of magnitudes larger. Let’s start with that first then we can debate whether Trump should keep his jet gifted to him by Qatar.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.

Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.

And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.

You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

@Really_Hamilton @TaraBull They took 1610 out of 2489 that’s roughly 65% so you would be correct. Then the rest goes to taxes and benefits.

@TheRealMcKoy85 Here is a picture I took at Levi South for a rams 9ers game. Rams and Chargers are fighting for 2nd most popular team in LA.

@realbryanmead @MensHumor This is still $8,000 an hour at 2,500 hours.

@dogsmellsgood Wait I thought everyone could do this lol

[Kuhner @ASandyTurtle]

@dubdisco1966 Yes, his expression essentially means to me “come on now, look how good this is you don’t even need me here to explain it to you, my presence in this video is unnecessary, the meat speaks for itself”

[Kuhner @ASandyTurtle]

@dubdisco1966 @2501_godzilla That guy is a reviewer. Every time he gets excited with how good something he reviews is, he throws his glasses. The throwing of the glasses means the meat exceeded all his expectations and the act of throwing is an outlet for his excitement.

Romo during the AFC championship game between the patriots and chiefs called like 3 or 4 plays in a row before they happened. He would tell the audience where to look before the snap. I guess they made him stop doing that eventually but he’s my favorite broadcaster. Dude knows ball.

[Kuhner @ASandyTurtle]

I get this take too. I feel like he’s kind of in the same category as Russell Wilson. Will probably eventually get in but it might be a long time till it happens. Definitely missing a lot of accolades but when you’re a top 15 passer in league history with a ring that’s a pretty solid case to eventually get in

[Kuhner @ASandyTurtle]

@GOPACKGO41012 @gavinmchughh He’s #14 on the all time passing list and has won a Super Bowl. Feel like he’s got a strong case for eventually getting in.
