I had a political science professor talk about working in a campaign with a politician who tried to make a compromise with people for or against the death penalty.
The compromise was that inmates given a life sentence would be offered a lethal pill that they could take at any time. I think he said the idea was that they would have it in their cell to use at any time.
That shit sounded fucking wild to me, but I was like 18 at the time and didn’t know why I felt that way.
Looking back now, the psychological torture of being imprisoned for life with a pill like that would be immense and immoral as fuck.
Anyway, that’s just one from me. What about the rest of you?
My high school English teacher had a framed photograph of George W. Bush in the classroom and constantly referred to him as the best president the United States ever had. And to top if off, I vaguely recall her talking about how she had a crush on him and considered him attractive. This was in 2015.
It’s surreal to remember because at the time for whatever I reason I didn’t think much of it. It wasn’t until a year after I graduated that the recollection of it suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks in a case of fridge horror. How does a human being become so brain poisoned?
I get the bush being hot appeal tbh
sorry
let the team down
One of my profs said he worked for an NGO to spread democracy in Paraguay. He was also incredibly well travelled and knows 4-5 languages. To this day I think he’s a fed.
Oh yeah that all tracks. Spreading democracy in another country is a huge tell.
