5% is quite high. And maybe I'm just an oddball but I think I'd take some solace from being guillotine'd since it's got such interesting cultural context
My honest reaction to that information:
But for real there's a surprising amount of room for error with guns. Guillotine is incredibly reliable as far as executions go
I mean "ideally" they'd be totally put under so they can't hold their breath. But the cruelty is the point and so forth
The chemicals they use for pet euthanasia are different than lethal injection for human execution
My job wants to use an AI medical notetaker instead of hiring someone for it... Surely nothing like this will happen :clueless:
Oh very true. But of the currently available methods I think I'd prefer decapitation to anything else except nitrogen or similar inert gas
My dad always said the commuter rail was much nicer than the light rail in the city. I largely brushed it off as slightly classist but just got onto a light rail car that smells like a zoo and am rethinking things
At least it's not lethal injection π
Getting home at 9:30 πππ
I be tiyord
And it's my dad's birthday (yay!) so I'm not gonna get back home until like 8 minimum (boo!)
I see people bringing up the betting odds all the time, but do they have any history of being correct or illustrative of how people vote?

My therapist introduced me to "Scrupulosity" the other day
(en.wikipedia.org)
Apparently it is not normal to constantly worry about failing to notice incremental shifts in one's moral principles such that one arrives at a repugnant perspective without realizing it 
A heavily internalized OCD (I know there's "pure O" but there's discourse online about how that's a misleading term) seems to fit a lot of my behaviors. I have pretty frequent intrusive thoughts, heavily developed mental regimens I use to weather and regulate them, and then intrusive thoughts and doubts about having intrusive thoughts and doubts, which feels like it shouldn't be allowed.
Anybody else have stuff like this???

PSA: Your Credit Karma credit score is basically fake
(hexbear.net)
Technically this is more of a /c/finance type beat, but since it's important info for all US Americans I figured I'd post here to reach more people.
Anyway, the credit score Credit Karma and some banks like Capital One give uses the VantageScore 3.0 model. The problem is that no lender, rental management company, or institution of substance actually uses it, and it can be off by 60 points or more from the one that they actually do use--your FICO score, with FICO 8 being the most commonly used score. Thankfully, you can see it for free using the below methods, differing on which Credit Bureau's score you'd like to see. They should all be within a few points of each other, but it never hurts to check.
-
Experian: Sign up through experian.com. You can also pay an exorbitant monthly fee to see all three bureau's scores, or just use the 7 day free trial.
-
Equifax: Sign up through myfico.com.
-
TransUnion: The trickiest one--I think the only "free option" that isn't a complimentary feature from a credit card is the 7 day free trial from Experian.
Thanks to this I found out my credit score is actually ~20 points higher than what Credit Karma said it was. For my mom, it was ~50 points higher! That opens up a lot of doors for her in terms of balance transfers and CC debt consolidation.
Shoutout to Amerikkka for having this dumbshit system

But if there is either a seismically historic turnout of republicans or equally unlikely apathy by democratic voters then it's your fault!!! No critical thinking for me
