    This was tried in court. The response from the judge was “If the man is dead, then he cannot petition the court. If the man is not dead, then his life sentence has not been served.” An excellent exchange of sophistry!

      Yall ever notice that professions that specialize in logic also tend to produce the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet?

          Only too true.

          the study finds that people who are otherwise very good at math may totally flunk a problem that they would otherwise probably be able to solve, simply because giving the right answer goes against their political beliefs.

          it turns out that highly numerate liberals and conservatives were even more—not less—susceptible to letting politics skew their reasoning than were those with less mathematical ability.

            Interesting. I wonder if it could be a kind of Dunning Kruger effect where you assume because you’re good at logic or some other smart thing your brain doesn’t have all the same zero day exploits as the rest of us.

      There would be a market for adenosine in prisons if this held up. Usually stops the heart for ~10 seconds when slammed in the IV. We use it to convert supraventricular tachycardia back to a normal sinus rhythm. But there is a few seconds if terror most the time.

        I believe you, random intermet person, actually work in medicine entirely because you didn’t spell it “superventricular”.

        Thanks for saving lives.

            I always used to wonder who had more acronyms and initialisms: The medical field or the military.

            Then a friend of mine from high school became an Army medic, and the answer is actually: “Holy shit, what is wrong with you people!?”

    Literally New Game+

    • Start fresh with no ongoing quests for income
    • Getting quests is harder due to higher speech check requirements
    • Certain quests will now be permanently locked-out
    • Some NPCs are now default passive-hostile due to certain achievements you now have in your catalogue
    • Start at a higher level but stats on paper are lower levelled so you will have to compete for lower level bounties

        Its in reference to him coming back to life and leaving prison with the new life situation he is in

    I read this, don’t know if it’s true, that in the UK the sentence used to be “hang by the neck” but then they cut the rope before a guy died. He argued that the sentence was to hang by the neck, and the sentence was fulfilled. The judge agreed and from then on it was “hang by the neck till dead”. Might be totally made up but I want it to be true

      This is just asking for a new law declaring dying in prison punishable by life in prison.

    Why is someone going septic from renal stones still in his cell and not in a hospital? He should sue for not receiving medical care.

      Sounds like a prison hospital is all you get if you murder people. Seems fair to me tbh, not a big fan of murderers.

        Withholding medical care or administrating poor or neglectful medical care certainly sounds cruel and unusual to me.

        Can you confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that absolutely everyone in that prison is actually a murderer?

    And there was that one guy who claimed that scientifically every cell in our body regenerates every 7 years, so after 7 years you are no longer the same person who committed the crime. So prisoners should not have to stay in prison more than 7 years.

        Gonna correct, this is false-ish… however it is much slower. By the time you’re 50 for example all of the neurons in your hippocampus will have been replaced. It’s called neurogenesis. It is not currently known whether its the same rate for all of the brain some parts are a little faster, other parts are slower.

    So the question is, if you die and are resuscitated, are you living the same life or a new one?
