Unfortunately the death penalty is currently not about killing the criminal, but a good-looking death. Basically it does not matter if the person suffers for an hour, as long as it is not visible.

From hanging, electrocution, to gassing (yes, US did that at one point) and lethal injections, the method was always slow and painful.

With the lethal injections one, most chemicals were banned for it, so they are poorly researched by laymans, not as functional and literally made so the person is paralyzed, while they still can feel everything and can painfully be dying for half an hour.

Political extremism has been on the rise for more than a decade. Especially with the help of the internet, radicalization has been getting easier and easier. You just need a reasonable-sounding speaker and before you realize, you are far gone.

Both sides in the US have been getting more and more extreme, pulling away from the middle One side will openly talk about their extreme ideologies, which attracts many with the same beliefs. The other side hides behind compassion and helping people, only to stab you in the back when it’s too late to run.

I am sure the 2-party system does not help. You are forced to either vote bad guy n.1 or slightly less bad guy n.2. With no other option, it will not take long before you end up listening to your new side and well…you know what happens next. With no space for a more reasonable side to enter, everyone gets radicalized and then a third side becomes a solution no more.

Hope the government falls and is rebuilt, before it all turns into another herrible page of history.

I believe it is unconfirmed if it actually happened. Liston was not exactly popular among the other surgeons, so it’s likely they made up the story to hurt his reputation. He was really good at what he did.

We had those types of tests but as to what type of secondary school you would fit in. I of course did not take that test, because I already had a plan. And those who did, ignored it anyway. Not sure what is worse. These job tests, or what people use as a reason for their decision, or the lack of one. Studying computer network technics, two in my class were actually interested in computers. The rest: ,Well, I play videogames, so I figured I could do well here."

-their answer to the question of why they picked that study

Wasn’t that just like a bird, or a hot air balloon? They commonly get mistaken for alien aircraft, because they don’t have jets…
