  • I think how it generally goes in China is that a suspended sentence on the death penalty means life imprisonment in the absence of any new crimes. So he might only serve jail time. But I don’t have a serious source on that so don’t commit crime in China based on my advice.

    (besides that though, I always find it odd how people draw the line at what punishments are acceptable for criminals. Why is locking him in a box forever fine but killing him is excessive? Unless there’s a concern of false conviction and a possibility of getting the ruling overturned, life imprisonment doesn’t seem like it’s the more ethical option.)




  • I was about to say thanks for the free ableism, but you did edit that out, so kudos, I guess.

    Anyway, I dont see those two messages as being hypocritical because these are two separate issues. The main benefit of residential waste diversion is to extend the life of landfills – the climate benefits are secondary. Even if someone is a climate change denier, they should want waste sorting because landfills are expensive and their taxes would go up to build new ones.

    The government asking you to sort your waste isnt an example of them failing to tackle the main actors of climate change. It’s cities trying to mitigate a separate issue.
