I get what you’re saying, but you still haven’t shown any reason why a different system, built around fallible people, wouldn’t also send innocent people to death row. Trusting people’s intuition won’t change that, although it might change the mix of innocent people sent to death row.

Your comment is the ultimate response to the situation. You’ve personally experienced the problem with imperfect witnesses and malicious actors compounded with incomplete knowledge, yet still insist these very human problems can be solved if you throw a big enough bureaucracy at them. And in your cases, you were perfectly innocent. Imagine if you had been less so. Exactly how do you propose we do that, given that many of these people are less than perfect paragon of legality, with a solution that can’t be reversed? And now you want there to be no mistakes made before the death penalty, as well!

I understand your frustration. There are horrible things in this world. Some of them happen in the halls of justice. Making those horrible things irreversible will not improve it.

I think the airplane version of Airplane would be 90 seconds long.

4% of Americans on death row, with it’s admittedly low bar compared to the rest of developed countries, are innocent. So how many people who haven’t committed horrific crimes are you okay with killing so you can kill the people who have committed horrific crimes? And given that we already spend vast amounts to reduce that amount to 4%, often more than life imprisonment would cost, only to continue to have that 4% innocence rate, how much more are you willing to spend so we can kill less innocent people? Or do you think we should just spend less on confirming their innocence so we can save some money on killing those people who committed horrific crimes, thus ensuring we have more innocent people being killed, as well?

I can see him writing that for a million dollars.

Ive always thought of it as more of a shot against the man than the woman. In your example, the man slept with someone he normally wouldn’t, for whatever reason, and only recognized that fact once his desire for sex was satisfied. The woman didn’t change in the entire situation.

Likewise, I’d say my choices in this area were poor, but had nothing to do with looks.

I’ve installed games from both Epic and GOG on my steam deck via Lutris, and after it’s installed, it just takes a few clicks to have it visible in non-desktop mode. A little tedious sure, but not terrible.

The good news is RFC 3339 doesn’t have this problem and is an unambiguous subset of ISO 8601.
