TranscriptAlabama suffocated a man to death in a gas chamber tonight after starving him so he wouldn't choke on his own vomit as they did it. And this was deemed perfectly legal by multiple courts in the vaunted American legal system.

That's what happens when you value institutions over people.

Ain't nobody got time for being on death row for 20 years

If not for how they would likely treat me behind the scenes, it would almost be tempting since my money keeps disappearing into bills and fees for things that are mandatory and mostly don't even benefit me

Suicide in some places makes you a criminal. There's a tasteless joke here somewhere, but I'm too tired to find it.

Only if you do it wrong.

Is that what you were going for? I wouldn’t say that is tasteless. Poor taste, sure, but it does have taste.

I was thinking other actions weirdly categorized as crimes. It's too bad that anything targeting the corporate overlords is treated as worse than murder.

i think i would rather just do the "usual suspect route" and pull out a shotgun and engage with "advanced strategy"

And then leave a rather humorous note, to hopefully not traumatize whoever the hell is left to clean that up, and probably some money for them as well.
