I got laid off and within a few days our dishwasher died. Had to wait for months until I got a new job to pull the trigger on a new dishwasher, all the while our stove was threatening to die on us. All this after our furnace died on us within a year of buying the house just a few years earlier, and then our AC just died last summer (not the end of the world, but insult to injury).
Just a guy, doin’ stuff.

Sway@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?English33·11 months agoWhat’s keeping him in the race is the delusional nature of his supporters. Think about all those points you wrote about what a horrible person he is. How many other candidates could survive even one of those controversies? He lives in an imaginary world of his own creation where whatever he says he believes to be true, and his cult like followers are so brainwashed that their perfectly smooth grey matter just soaks it up like a sponge. There’s precious little he could do or say at this point that would have his base leave him.
Sway@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Haitian families in Ohio under attack as racist claims spreadEnglish14·11 months agoThis isn’t even the first time he’s done this, remember what happened with Covid and Asian Americans? Just look at the hate groups that support him, he never really distances himself from them, and he riles them up or gives them a target whenever it behooves him to do so.

You don’t give a fuck how they get to it, you just want punishment, that’s not moral process of evaluating or resolving conflict, it’s revenge.
He doesn’t eat brains, McDonalds doesn’t have brains on the menu. He just slowly poisons minds with his illogical gibberish.
Sway@lemmy.worldto US Authoritarianism@lemmy.world•Multiple Life Sentences for Minor in Police Shooting He did not Participate in.English1·11 months agoThen I’m sorry, you don’t care about justice, you just want vengeance. Just remember this is a slippery slope and some day you might be on the losing end of it.
Sway@lemmy.worldto US Authoritarianism@lemmy.world•Multiple Life Sentences for Minor in Police Shooting He did not Participate in.English1·11 months agoOK, let’s start where we agree: home invasion is not OK, and it deserves punishment. Furthermore, I want to remove this individual from the public (until such time that they have been reformed, or at least served their sentence) so they are not able to repeat such behaviour.
Here’s where we seem to disagree: you want punishment, seemingly, by any means necessary. My stance is, punish him based on the crime he directly committed.
He was set to potentially recieve up to 25 years just for the burglary and then an additional 30 for murder and the judge dropped it to 24-30. So, if they had just charged and convicted him for the burglary would that not been enough for you? The murder charge, in this case really only provides for a slightly higher upper limit and probably increases time until he is eligible for parole. It’s also a slippery slope that can easily be used to pile on charges. So, is piling on the murder charge really worth it? He got caught, he was charged, he’s been convicted, they probably would’ve thrown the book at him just with the burglary charge. Seriously, do you really still think adding that murder charge is worth it?
Sway@lemmy.worldto US Authoritarianism@lemmy.world•Multiple Life Sentences for Minor in Police Shooting He did not Participate in.English1·11 months agoNot assuming anything, what you are asking for is revenge not justice. Justice is proportional disciplinary action relative to the crime, tou just want them punished and you don’t care how or why, that’s just simply revenge.
Sway@lemmy.worldto US Authoritarianism@lemmy.world•Multiple Life Sentences for Minor in Police Shooting He did not Participate in.English1·11 months agoYou’re looking for revenge, not justice.
Sway@lemmy.worldto US Authoritarianism@lemmy.world•Multiple Life Sentences for Minor in Police Shooting He did not Participate in.English61·11 months agoWhat are you arguing? I 100% agree he deserves to be punished… for the actual crime he committed, which was robbery.

Yup. Get injured easier, and takes longer to heal. I got a Covid-ish (never tested positive) respiratory infection back in Oct, have had breathing/coughing issues ever since, this led to blood pressure issues, leading to issues in my eyes and just overall quality of life issues. Now that I’m on a laundry list of daily meds I can finally live a somewhat normal life :P. I wish I took my grandfather’s advice and never got old.
