I had a political science professor talk about working in a campaign with a politician who tried to make a compromise with people for or against the death penalty.
The compromise was that inmates given a life sentence would be offered a lethal pill that they could take at any time. I think he said the idea was that they would have it in their cell to use at any time.
That shit sounded fucking wild to me, but I was like 18 at the time and didn’t know why I felt that way.
Looking back now, the psychological torture of being imprisoned for life with a pill like that would be immense and immoral as fuck.
Anyway, that’s just one from me. What about the rest of you?
One of my profs said he worked for an NGO to spread democracy in Paraguay. He was also incredibly well travelled and knows 4-5 languages. To this day I think he’s a fed.
Oh yeah that all tracks. Spreading democracy in another country is a huge tell.
Teacher said his uncle needed a tooth pulled but didn’t have any money. So he decides to do it himself and get shitfaced to numb the pain. He got so drunk he couldn’t tell which tooth it was so he pulled a couple to be safe
once had a Russian language teacher who believed that Putin was chosen by God to restore the Romanov dynasty and unite Europe. He had a picture of him hanging above the board and a smaller picture of the Romanovs on his desk. Edit: He also believed Rasputin was still alive. He believes what happened prior to being thrown in the river, he just thinks he survived and that the body they found was a double. Edit 2 since I keep remembering things: He also thought Rasputin put a curse on Russia to send it into “100 years of darkness”, which came true when the revolution came into power. I took his class in 2016, and he was very excited about Russia’s prospects in 2017. Also believed in russiagate, but he agreed with it.
a cooler teacher once said “wanna see my balls” the second she walked in then pulled a set of taxedermied kangaroo testicles out of her desk
