    Weird, I don’t get any of those. I get a lot of “quantum soul” nonsense instead.

    But, I think thats because I decided that if black holes make universes, then this must not be my only life experience. And if that’s true, then there is no god and life has no meaning.

    I bet the algorithm picked up on that and is trying to feed me this other junk instead.

    I’m agreeing with your conclusion but not with your reasoning.

    You reason that since it looks like he might be innocent, he shouldn’t have been executed. Extrapolating from this yields that you also believe that if you felt he was definitely guilty, he should have been executed.

    I’m saying that because this uncertainty exists at all as a concept the death penalty should be abolished. Its impossible to prove someone’s guilt 100% in these cases, therefore the death penalty is immoral. Not just in this case but in every case.

    I would do

    class MyClass:
    def __init__(self, value):
        self._whatever = value

    @property
    def whatever(self):
        return self._whatever

    Personally, I would type hint all of that but I’m just showing how you can do it without types. Your linter should be smart enough to say “hey dumbass did you mean this other thing”? Also since we didn’t create a setter you can’t arbitrarily overwrite the value of whatever so thats neat.

    And I’ll just say before I post that I’m on mobile and I’m sorry if the formatting is fucked. I’m not going to fix it.

    It doesn’t matter if he did it or not, honestly. If the state can’t be 10000% certain the person they are about to murder is guilty of a heinous crime then it shouldn’t be possible to fucking murder them.

    This isnt about innocence. This is about the state denying this Black Muslim man due process and constitutional protections.

    And on that note, its impossible to prove guilt in these cases, which is why the death penalty needs to be abolished. Are you comfortable with the idea of bring executed for a crime because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time? Because I’m sure fucking not.

    The anti-trust cases against google are why this is being brought up again. Google isnt propping up Mozilla out of altruism or a desire to, I dunno, advertise; they’re doing it so that in court they can point at Mozilla and say, “look! Competitors!”. Its the exact same reason Microsoft bailed out Apple in the 00s. Because without Mozilla, Google is unquestionably a monopoly.

    Now, they are anyway. But by keeping Mozilla alive they can pretend in court that they have competitors and that they aren’t engaging in monopolistic practices, which they absolutely are.

    Honestly your comment is kind of why they pay the money. “Google doesn’t have a seat at Mozilla, what’s the big deal?”. The big deal is that Google smothers competition and is pretending in court that they aren’t.
