Do people die from prescription opioids that often? I assumed that most of the deaths occur when people who are addicted lose access to legal sources and are forced to buy illegally (so risk of overdose and other complications is much higher)?

Are there public hospitals in Switzerland? Isn't the healthcare system entirely private?

I'm not sure that's quite true?

Or maybe medieval people thought that it's easier to climb/carry stuff up if the stairs go clockwise (or some other mundane reasons)? Maybe architects just designed it that way because that's just how everyone builds castle staircases? Seems much more plausible to me (or at least as plausible..)

Most people visiting medieval castles probably significantly overestimate the frequency of hand to hand combat that might had taken place there (almost never as far as we know).

> credibility of old sources

Unsubstantiated conjecture by Victorian historians shouldn't really be treated as a "source" in the first place by actual historians.

You're asking to a disprove a purely(?) speculative claim, though.

Arguably still more 'humane' than it ever was.

Define worked.

Turning a 'violently suicidal' person into a zombie might seem like a success from the perspective of those who have to live with/take care of them/etc. Then again euthanasia should also be very effective if that's your only goal.

If she also skipped the fries (and had salad instead) that wouldn't be the worst imaginable diet.

That not a mainstream Christian view, in fact it's very fringe view and you don't have to 'over-intellectualize' (whatever that means) to realize that.

> I suppose it’s up to you if you’d like to believe that 1) Evangelicals don’t believe what they claim to believe

or option 3: don't believe what you claim they believe (the 'extremely broadly' bit anyway). There are plenty of more sensible religious, political and other reasons which explain widespread support for Israel.

It might be the answer on Reddit where any meaningful discussion is usually impossible and the most absurd sounding claims are upvoted.

Do we also have to do it here?

Or cloning vats are invented...

Perhaps, in no way does that justify a SWAT team invading your home, wrongfully arresting you and threatening you by up to 15 years in prison. Especially when the police officers know full well that the charges will be dismissed...

And anyway, as stupid as his joke was, I don't see (just like the judge) how any reasonable person could've interpreted it as anything but that. Arbitrary abuse of police power is much bigger threat to society than some (potential) idiots posting stupid jooks on Facebook.
