Yeah, I’m pretty sure most people aren’t going to cooperate in their own execution.

This isn’t like assisted suicide/euthanasia. These are, by definition, people being forced into this by the state. At least some portion of them are always going to be uncooperative.

The problem with that is, no anesthesiologist will work on an execution (something about “do no harm”), and properly sedating someone without one is more difficult than it appears to be.

A boatload of money, and given it’s Adam Sandler, I’m guessing they’ll also film on location in an exotic locale so he and his friends can have a nice vacation on the studio dime.

The Sony Open is in Hawaii, maybe it’ll be about Happy competing in that or something.

But then people complained when he had a competitive match with Orange Cassidy, and said it made him look weak, so I don’t know.

I wonder what that means for Penta. Sign a short term deal with AEW so he and Fenix could make the move together? Jump to WWE by himself, be a solo act for a year, and then hope to reunite with Fenix?

Yeah, totally agreed. He needs a good long run if kicking people’s asses, and it’s hard to get that when he’s always hurt.

I know, right? How long has RJ City been waiting?

When I set out to drive, or paraglide, I do not set out to kill a person.

If I were to execute the death penalty, I would set out to kill a person.

Intent matters.

Absolutely not. But you’ll agree this guy is not innocent. At all.

Perhaps. But the question of the death penalty is larger than just this guy.

That line of reasoning would be paralyzing. There’s a reasonably high chance that you’ll kill an innocent person while driving, but you’re still driving. I suppose the alternative is even worse.

And there, I suppose, is the difference between you and me. You are willing to murder people, some portion of whom you know are not murderers, because somehow you’ve decided that their deaths are worth it in this instance. I am not. I find the murder of even one innocent immoral. And frankly, in a democratic system where the state acts on behalf of the people, we all have that innocent blood on our hands. We are all murderers; we are made that way by the state. Should we all, then, die?

You’re also comparing accidents to deliberate acts in order to justify their murder. Those two things should not be conflated. No execution is an accident.

It’s also not an immoral killing, but that’s a separate conversation.

Actually, let’s have that conversation.

I have two questions for you:

• Do you believe it can ever be moral to take an innocent person’s life?
• Do you believe that our judicial system has never wrongly convicted an innocent person and sentenced them to death?

If the answer to those questions is no, then I do not understand how you could ever say the death penalty can be moral.

If you answered yes to the first, you’re a monster. If you answered yes to the second, you’re hopelessly naive.

I’ve heard that they have people on payroll specifically to keep Elon as far away as possible from operations.

I’m pretty sure Samhain did piss CW off pretty badly. Before then, NWA was supposedly going to have a show on CW’s network; after, suddenly NWA was relegated to the app and CW was talking to WWE.

Probably the execs saw that show and realized just what they bought into, so they quietly buried the show on the app and let the contract run out.

Yeah, that seems like the most likely explanation. Likely he wouldn’t follow their advice.

Maybe they thought that signing the deal with Netflix would get them to back off on the documentary. Which, I guess that didn’t happen, and good on Netflix for it.

Weird thing is, sometimes the “premium” eggs are cheaper than the standard eggs, because the prices don’t fluctuate nearly as much. I have a thing of cage free brown eggs in my fridge that was actually cheaper than the plain, white store brand eggs right now.

It was a Simpsons reference

Eugene V. Debs did it, but he was a man of considerably greater conviction than Trump.

Oh, they’ve thought Wikipedia was what they now call “woke trash” for decades. That’s why Conservapedia was a thing.
