This is kinda a random thought in the middle of the night post. I'd just like to hear people's views and opinions ig? I have like a very mixed view on the death penalty and honestly don't know where I stand. I'd say I'm mostly against it, but at the same time I guess I can see how people view it as reasonable when certain people do ruin if not end other people's lives. At the same time I'd argue it's worse for them to live with that fact that they did something horrible, in jail for the rest of their life instead of just, ending their life? Idk but at the same time I do agree maybe some cases make sense?...

Idk mostly I find it inhumane, bcs I believe everyone's life is a gift, well obv it can also affect innocent people that haven't been proven innocent but idk if that's like a thing that actually happens?- at least anymore? And also I believe in actually helping criminals work through their problems n shi and idk what the word is. rehabilitation? I guess that wouldn't exactly work with a bloody murderer or something ig, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Either way I'm curious where other people stand and what y'all think about my opinion bcs I rl can't come to a decision whether I'm pro- or anti-death penalty:^... Like if someone asked me I'd go on a 30 min rant why and why not I support it or don't 🤷... Not a clear answer...

I've been reading different reddit posts and decided to make a post of my own explaining my situation to get more personal advice. I'm from Finland but I'm czech (so czech passport etc) and me and my bf have been dating for rougly 3 years and 4 months or so now. We've never met irl, we've video called and just done long distance stuff yk play video games etc. This year we brought up the idea of him coming to visit me on christmas but due to circumstances that plan doesn't seem like it'll work out now. I've been very disappointed and depressed because sure I had thought of visiting him instead for a long while but there's an insane fear of the detention centers ect. I think everyone by now knows it's not exactly rainbows and butterflies. I've talked to my family about this a little and they also definitely wouldn't want me to go because they're worried for my safety, but my bf says he wouldn't let me visit if he didn't feel like it was safe. I'm terrified sure, but I'm open to go because we rl want to meet already. I've learned about preclearance while browsing through others posts...so maybe that could work?

The main thing this is such a worry is that sure I could wait for as long as I had to, but for him it isn't easy to keep on going like this. We've had this convo before about him not planning on breaking up with me, but him not knowing how much longer he can keep on doing this. Understandably that's devastating to me and terrifying, but I also don't want to make decisions in panic. I'd still love to visit, but idk what to do.

update: I got some advice on a different post already, but I forgot to mention also that the US is at war right now, and it made me wonder if that makes it also risky to travel due to increased risk of terrorism and attacks in general.
