@dialecticalsaba i don’t understand the minds of people who think awards from the academy are worth anything more than the amount it costs to produce the statuette.
@PoorChase@spaceangelvoice this little pretense of condescension kind of fails when your “facts” are more or less common knowledge and your text is rife with grammatical errors. know your place, dago.
@phil_phil_p@MEPHITIDAES a neurological condition where the size of the baby’s head is smaller than expected when compared to standardized growth charts. it’s usually the result of abnormal brain development. the baby in the image is in PT and seems to have a wonderful life :)
@civilwarondrugs also…how does this person not know that the nuclear family as we know it really doesn’t have much to do with the structural aspects of romantic and sexual interaction as it does…capitalism and industrialization.
@phlegmatticus@exhaustdata there are a few similarities between gorey and orson welles. both were born and bred midwesterners who were recognized early on as child prodigies. while they adored theatrics, they really didn’t care for pretentiousness or elitism.
@phlegmatticus@exhaustdata his favorite shows were the x-files, batman: the animated series, the golden girls, and buffy the vampire slayer. his taste in film and literature was more eclectic, but he really liked rush hour (1998).
@dirt1317@brucesprinky i feel that there is much more to be done regarding who should be seated on a parole board so as to ensure that an individual is granted a fair and appropriate outcome, but i’m speaking objectively here. parole isn’t a guarantee of freedom, it’s the right to advocate for it.
@dirt1317@brucesprinky an incarcerated person still has to apply or formally request parole. it’s up to the parole board to determine whether or not a person should be allowed to reintegrate into society.
@Neo_Paulinite@WriteToRebel those “years of endless appeals” are necessary. our courts are required to exercise extreme scrutiny so as to prevent the unlawful imprisonment/execution of innocent people. it’s not common, but it can happen. every possibility must be examined. checks and balances 101.
@Neo_Paulinite@WriteToRebel if you want to live in the land of make-believe where the u.s. constitution is something you use to wipe the shit off of your ass, that’s your prerogative. until the government actually repeals the 5th amendment, your opinion on how things SHOULD BE is fundamentally worthless.
@Neo_Paulinite@WriteToRebel capital cases cost taxpayers more compared to cases of life w/o parole. pre-trial costs, trial costs, decades of appeals, the cost of incarceration (capital offenders aren’t housed in standard maximum security prisons), the cocktail of drugs used to make the lethal injection.
@Eviler_ThanThou it also doesn’t help that there’s an entire community of people who have made careers off of dissecting every aspect of her life. it’s really fucking pathetic.
