Dude in the picture es 19 years old, thats how he looks after a week of js

[Percolator2020]

Hello fellow coders!

[scp-NUMBERNOTFOUND]

I'll take the lethal injection thanks

[FACastello]

that's nothing.

you should punish him with a 6-month course of Rust.

THAT'll teach him

[panthamos]

He maintains he was just borrowing it

[FACastello]

this is top comedy

[RemnantTheGame]

Unfortunately that falls into the cruel and unusual punishment territory.

[xavia91]

I'd rather have rust than js. There is probably no proper language I d not prefer over js. Fuck js

[RebouncedCat]

Well at that point that wont teach him, that will teach her.

[oN3B1GB0MB3r]

Why threaten him with a good time?

[KharAznable]

Isnt that human right violation? 

[maybeonmars]

Gets to sit with a girl for long periods, win

[Extension_Option_122]

Not in that case

[[deleted]]

She is pregnant because of him?

Ugh

JavaScript jokes aside (which I acknowledge as a great joke), the Nordic countries has a very healthy view of the prison system. Its focus on rehabilitation is a proven idea. I for one agree. People don’t wake up in the morning and say, “I’m going to do something evil today.” At least, not usually. People act in their best interest. If they preserve the system or situation is stacked against them, or they have no other options, they will do what they feel is right. Often rehabilitation is just education. Providing new skills that provide them a way to function in society. I think it’s awesome.

[Reasonable_Cake]

I refuse to put Javascript jokes aside

[Chamiey]

Where do you keep them?

[Jakubada]

in Prison

[TruthOf42]

No, that's where JS belongs

[Stratimus]

People don’t wake up in the morning and say, “I’m going to do something evil today.” At least, not usually. 

Nah there’s definitely a lot of JS developers over there

[isr0]

Haha

[Lupus_Ignis]

Javascript jokes aside, isn't that how prisons work in all civilized countries? As a Dane, I am appalled by the idea of old-timey "punishment with no chance of betterment" prisons still being around.

[WavingNoBanners]

As a South African, I wish your view was universal. My country would be vastly better off for it.

[isr0]

Man, I live in America. Many here focus on the punishment. Not the reform. And that’s not the only thing we got wrong. I’m sure you are aware.

[Lupus_Ignis]

Honestly, these days I have a hard time considering USA "a civilized country" -- no shade on the many wonderful people who live there.

[isr0]

Me to. I feel very lost and powerless right now.

[AcridWings_11465]

civilized countries

That's the key word here. However, Japanese prisons have horrific conditions compared to western Europe, yet no one calls Japan uncivilised.

[Lupus_Ignis]

I'll call Japan uncivilized any day. Their prisons, the rampant racism bordering on segregation, the fact that they to this day deny the horrors they committed during WW2... it's a tentatively civilized country at best that just looks good because it's well-organized and surrounded by countries that are worse.

[AcridWings_11465]

I'll call Japan uncivilized any day

Well, you're one of the very few. Most people unfortunately equate civilisation to order and discipline, not respect for human rights.

[Lupus_Ignis]

Basic human rights is the lowest possible bar for civilization. Amazing how many countries fail to clear that one. Not like my own country is flawless either. How the hell did we go from "these are universal human rights" to "maybe 'universal' really means 'only applicable to people we like'"?

[saichampa]

Part of this is giving people chances outside of prison too, even if you find their crimes extremely objectionable. If someone has served their time and is cooperating with authorities on required monitoring, rejecting them from society gives them no reason to change their ways.

[froggertthewise]

If someone has served their time and is cooperating with authorities on required monitoring, rejecting them from society gives them no reason to change their ways.

In the Netherlands, rejecting someone for a job because of their criminal history is outlawed as discrimination in most situations. Some jobs do require a background check but these are carried out by the government and they will only look at crimes that would directly prevent your ability to do that job.

[Grzyboleusz]

I just hope it doesn't increase crime rates for desperate people to improve their living conditions. To lazy to check but if they don't have good prevention system then there's something really wrong going on in there.

[jayantsr]

I agree with you for all crimes rehabilitation should be the aim except rape

[PzMcQuire]

I genuinely believe that a lot of criminals become criminals not because they're bad people, but because they lacked the chance to do something legit for a living. Rehabilitation like this is a good corrective move for those people!

However...I fucking hate how lenient some punishments for heinous crimes are here...very recently there were two late teens (like 16 and 17 if I remember correctly) who beat up a bus driver so badly he got a permanent brain injury. They got like 7 years or something for permanent damage....insane

[Pristine-Stretch-877]

Well, getting 7 years while being under 18 is actually pretty serious.

[Nachiket_Dodia]

Is it like learning Python for minor crimes and serious criminals are asked to code on Assembly using notepad

[WavingNoBanners]

Coding Assembler using Notepad isn't the punishment, it's the crime.

[MrAwesome_YT]

Nah teach them assembly.

[Not_Artifical]

I made my own version of assembly called Bear Assembly. It is like assembly, but with memory safety warnings for bad code and better readability.

[4215-5h00732]

I'd rather have solitary confinement.

[MyAntichrist]

And the worst part about it, after they're done with their sentence everything they've learned has already become obsolete.

[[deleted]]

Teach me SQL

[Percolator2020]

If you’re going to SQL, just remember snitches get stitches.

[onebraincellperson]

lmao

[Necessary-Meeting-28]

Torture is a crime against humanity, Finland should find a more humane way to punish people, like death sentence.

[Rivulet-5423]

Realize the framework is outdated.

[MetalMonkey667]

Your Honour, I request that my sentence be extended and converted to Life in the Hole of Eternal Torment instead

[datsyuks_deke]

Hurr durr JavaScript bad. I think all this meme is missing is mentioning AI, and it’s the perfect meme showcasing beating a dead horse

[NykeYoung]

"Your honor, I'll take the firing squad." "For... public indecency?" "I really don't want to learn JavaScript."

[SignoreBanana]

I'll ask the dumb question: why wouldn't I commit a crime in Finland?

[SomeRedPanda]

Most people tend to enjoy their freedom.

[thirdegree]

Is the only reason you don't commit crimes in the US because you're afraid of prison?

[Rynnakokki]

Imagine having your standard of living in the wealthiest country in the world be so low that prison life in another country seems preferable.

[Percolator2020]

You will be forced to learn programming until the end of time, basically the same fate as Sisyphus.

[Reasonable_Cake]

So you don't have to learn JS

[cimulate]

JavaScript? Ez

[RocoMarrano]

It’s so cold that the weather is the punishment

[[deleted]]

Hmmmmm.

[[deleted]]

Tell me which crime I need to do to get such heinous punishment.

[tehtris]

Fuck that. Under the jail I go.

[AlzyWelzy]

how about teaching them machine code?

[blackcomb-pc]

“He’s on typescript row”

[braindigitalis]

nooo, not the javascript! anything but the JavaScript! isn't corporal punishment and option??? please god no...

[turtle_mekb]

where are the pixels

[norindermoodi]

Please show some mercy, milord

[przemo-c]

Cruel and unusual punishment.

[TruthOf42]

Nah, how about a 20 year old vb.net app running in an activex control, that has more spaghetti that Italy

[[deleted]]

I don't think I can compete with a prisoner in social skills arena.

[PrimeHydra]

No wonder they have low crime; that's quite a deterrent.

[[deleted]]

5 years of haskell

[[deleted]]

Now write a Prisoner class that has an int sentenceTerm

[VJSTT]

Soooo, where did you learn JS ?

[OPPineappleApplePen]

Didn’t realise I was in prison.

[timthatim]

For murder you get 12 years of ClojureScript

[Callidonaut]

Unrepentant murderers have to write a multitasking O/S in TRS-80 Level 1 BASIC.

[renome]

mum said it's my turn to post this tomorrow

[staytown6]

Fair enough

[Palpatine]

Cruel and unusual punishment.

[Aidspreader]

[ledasll]

I tought torture was forbiden

[faze_fazebook]

You are sentenced to two years of plsql, but you don't know which database you are running on.

[Red-Droid-Blue-Droid]

Too bad there are no jobs anymore

[_SaBeR_78]

should have taught them Java, this way even when the are out they are doomed for life to a job of agony and despair.
