Question: how do you compose such a long post (as above) with speech to text? Do you just have a masterful ability to dictate a point eloquently, first time, or do you have to go back and make edits manually afterwards?
I noticed verbal fillers in your (presumably lower effort, as its shorter) response, but none so noticeable in your longer initial post- which surprises me if both were only dictated

I agree wholeheartedly. My point was more that if you’re making execution into a pseudo-medical event (For example with lethal injections) then you’re going to have more botched executions since the people performing them aren’t medical personnel.
While I don’t believe we should have executions a gun is designed to be used with little training, but syringes and medical gas supply masks (Don’t know the actual name for them) are meant to be used with training. If executions are going to happen surely we should consider the aptitude of those administering them?
At least it was painless /s
I do agree the death penalty should be abolished, by the way
There’s a great Jacob Geller video about how methods of execution have evolved and why they’ve evolved.
I wouldn’t do it justice but it points out how every time we make a ‘more humane’ way of killing it often just reduces the person’s ability to show suffering, rather than reducing the suffering itself. In many cases the suffering is increased as we say the method is less barbaric; a firing squad has the highest success rate and likely the fastest death.

Worth noting that harvesting organs from non-consenting people would also be logical from a business perspective, provided it were legal. Free high value produce!
Not to put words in the mouth of the previous commenter, but logic is an extremely different argument compared to their argument of ethics- I don’t think they were confused about why it happened but rather concerned that it happened despite the ethical issues around (potentially, Im not familiar with the Rocket League situation) removing a game from a platform that many people bought it solely for :)
Regardless, I think it makes sense for people to be upset as, to your point, the most logical business decisions often run counter to the ethical or emotional considerations of the customers.
This sounds like how you get a resonance cascade… Experiments so powerful they make the sky glow as only our star can!
Just noticed this, fair play to you! Sorry for the misunderstanding :)
As a female tech lead, its comforting to know I don’t exist!
Balders Gate 2 was developed by Bioware and published by Interplay. That’s not to say Larian couldn’t have learned from it anyway, but it’s not a lesson they would have learned from experience.
