Why stop at individuals? I'd be more concerned about corporations.

In terms of restitution, sure, the victim should have input. But in cases like imprisonment, I don't see why the victim should have input into the length of a sentence, for example. If the offender is a danger to the public, they should remain in prison until such time that they are not. Emotional appeals should not factor into that determination.

How does that relate to videos of dead people speaking someone else's words? The only reanimated people in Doom 2016 are the shambling zombies.

Ah yes, appeals to emotion, my favorite part of the judicial process.

Frozen processed food isn't inherently unhealthy. Eating the right amount of calories from nutritious processed food is still probably a net positive over eating too much of any kind of food.

For classes that's are mostly lectures, it doesn't need it.

He's long past any pretense. He'd just have the IDF execute them.

Yeah. The current best option is probably a regular video + cloud sync like Google Photos.

For anyone who was confused about why Hamas would make an attack and take hostages in what was obviously a losing position, this is why. They expected to lose in combat, but hoped to win on the world stage.
