Alfred the Unicorniest @unicorniest.bsky.social · 01/02/2024Realize (or more commonly “realise” in British English) also has two meanings: to understand something, or to make something a reality. “Once I realized that I wasn’t as incapable as I had thought, I was able to realize my dream.” 020

Alfred the Unicorniest @unicorniest.bsky.social · 26/01/2024On the contrary, that’s exactly how “and” works! For something to be cruel *or* unusual, it can be either or both. For it to be cruel *and* unusual, it can only be both: neither one is sufficient on its own. Your avatar depicts a cat or a dog. It doesn’t depict a cat and a dog. 010

Alfred the Unicorniest @unicorniest.bsky.social · 26/01/2024The method under discussion here is clearly unusual, never having been used before, but the death penalty itself is, sadly, far from unusual in the US. If I’m not mistaken, the US Constitution only bars punishments that are cruel *and* unusual, so the cruelty of the method is irrelevant. 200
