Thawing is the act of allowing it to warm up from frozen.
In this case, she is saying “unthaw” instead of “thaw”.

They did make a rally inspired version! Although I think it’s more racey than longer suspension. Image

Oh for sure, effective rehab programs need a decent chunk of funding. And they are expensive until they start paying for themselves years or even decades down the line. And their benefits are typically indirect so they are very hard to actually measure their success.
But it’s shown time and time again that the current system doesn’t work. And I would rather we spend what little money we have getting rapists longer sentences than thieves and vandals.

Prisons don’t really do much to deter crimes with short sentences anyway. And they often result in people just getting more damaged and more likely to commit more crime.
Most crimes which carry short sentences should be handled through probation and social support (not financial obviously).
Community service is a classic punishment which I think makes good sense for nonviolent crime.
A bigger problem is the inability to sentence violent offenders to lengthy stays in prisons. And of course the lack of rehabilitation in those prisons.

The poor placement of “people having sex with hats on” makes it appear like the x-axis label. Which implies that there are >1900 people.

I would add that I think checking out and joining smaller instances is also a great opportunity. Distributes the user load across servers and being one of fewer voices in an instance means you have a bigger say in who you federate with. You also get to be a third party instance to most of the big drama and don’t get judged just for your instance as much
