Looks like a superior way of punishment.
- adolph 5y agoWhen I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. https://news.stanford.edu/2005/06/14/jobs-061505/ https://news.stanford.edu/2005/06/14/jobs-061505/

- yissp 5y agoIt does feel inconsistent that some consider it acceptable to kill a person, but still care about their mental well-being beforehand.
- jackorange 5y agoIt feels more inconsistent to me that people online are so outspoken in favor of criminals' rights and perfectly silent on victims' rights.
