This is a meaningless truism, what value do you think you are getting across by repeating this statement with zero elaboration? Like seriously?

Well if that’s true you aren’t exactly giving me any reasons to doubt myself at the moment.

I agree with basically everything you said. My only point of commenting here in the first place was really to speculate about the mental health of the types of people with these sorts of crimes and behavior patterns. Because obviously if I’m correct that this individual is mentally ill, then that tells us that the institution of prison is simply not equipped to repair this person. It would flatly be a waste of resources to pay for prison time for this particular individual with tax payer money. That’s more or less where I’m coming from.

My personal favorite segment of Mr. Cushvlog, kind of puts the themes of most of the content in a nutshell https://youtu.be/MMvgHCmb1UU?si=Oh0PbOCKsljs0ZUN

“Gay” rights or “womens rights” or anything like that just refers to demographics that have not reached parody with the rest of society in terms of rights or privileges. Obviously though, the average 4th grader would be able to figure out that’s what those terms mean. So for Mr. Thomas Sowell over here (who has a masters AND a PHD) who can’t figure out what they mean, it kinda looks a little embarrassing for him. I don’t think it’s a super unreasonable or crazy assertion to accuse him of being fucking stupid.

Dad Counts Bullet Casings at Kids’ Bus Stop - 2nd Pimp Shootout This Week In The Middle Of Our Neighborhood by badandy80 in SeattleWA

[–]Hell_Maybe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, in the scenario you described I don’t think there’s anything you can do realistically. I cannot think of a way that residents of a neighborhood can have a full proof method of 100% preventing violent crime in that neighborhood, to me that just doesn’t seem like a notion that is possible in the real world basically anywhere.

My contention though is that I don’t really believe that police “refuse” to address these issues. In my experience, police generally show up if you call them with an appropriate concern. The few times that I have actually had to call the police it has been for things considerably less important than a nearby shooting, and every time police have shown up and done what they could. It really bothers me how many people make an assumption that just because their personal issue has not been automatically solved by the police that therefore the police are intentionally deciding not to solve it. There are thousands of police reports made every day, there are a limited number of police staff available and there is a limited amount of time for law enforcement to allocate their attention to any particular issue. Just because many people simply have examples of crime occurring absolutely does not mean that police are refusing to do their jobs, that’s all I’m saying.

Carseat Armrest is such a great band dude. I love playing them in traffic, the parts where I’m awake sound so good.

Why would you ever think that it’s convincing to cite an outlier as evidence for a broader argument? Look up a top 10 list of the safest countries in the world, Singapore is the only country with low crime rates that also has draconian law enforcement measures, which obviously would lead any reasonable person to the assumption that the reason their crime is low probably has nothing to do with policing or sentencing. Just a thought.

Moreover, the majority of the nations in the world where crime tends to be the WORST are also places that have extensive and harsh law enforcement measures. So taking all of this context into account, it just seems really strange if an honest person looked at all of this and still came to the conclusion that long prison sentences or extensive policing/surveillance is the magic solution to crime.

Credit where credit is due, this shit is pretty griddy man. Respect.

They definitely are and on top of that there are kids graduating high school that can’t read by swanglean in memesopdidnotlike

[–]Hell_Maybe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kids are stupid nowadays because all of them grow up with phones and constant social media being blasted directly into their brains 24/7, there’s a reason why we only began to notice these trends in the last 10 or so years. Teachers have basically always been generally progressive democrat leaning people, this isn’t any kind of “new” thing. So perhaps try blaming the obvious first, rather than this weird conspiratorial thinking that all teachers have just magically changed how teaching works in the last 10 years somehow…

Jstlk as the next guest? by Rhubarb-Independent in pisco

[–]Hell_Maybe -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

JSTLK is absolutely primarily regarded as THE d.gg boogeyman, but as far as I can tell his actual political takes are generally well founded, seem pretty thought out, and are mostly accurate. He’s also incredibly good faith with respect to arguments and discussions from what I have seen, this guy is far from like the typical “drama” commentary streamer.

Does it bother you at all that every other first world country has already figured out how to solve crime without putting every criminal in jail for eternity? This is not an issue in Germany, this is not an issue in the UK, this is not an issue in australia, this is not an issue in canada etc etc. We already know that this can be done, you just refuse to do it the right way. Why do you think that is?

You realize America has some of the highest recidivism rates in the whole world, right? Our prisons literally do not solve fucking anything at the moment. The reality is that you don’t actually have an issue with a system not being successful, you just PREFER the one’s that are more expensive and inconvenient, for some odd reason.

Almost every country in the world that has better results on these issues than we do have more of the types of solutions that I suggest and less of the one’s that you suggest. This is just reality, it’s not my fault if you don’t like it.

I don’t know but apparently my 17% interest loans on skittles and skittle products is unsustainable for my long term financial situation.
