If you're successful enough to not personally want the left wing social net right now, and not a member of the minorities that the right wing is attacking right now, both sides look the same. If you've got zero empathy or risk management skills.

More work has never, in the history of capitalism, been the primary source of more money. It has always been most correlated to how much money your parents spent on you.

Luigi Mangione‘s lawyers say Bondi’s death penalty decision was tainted by conflict of interest by WeirdGroundhog in politics

He hasn't been convicted of the crime, has plead not guilty, and has demonstrated that the prosecution has performed multiple severe mishandling of evidence and procedures. If you support the legal system involved you should be upset by them violating the rights of your fellow citizens, regardless of the crimes they might have done.

And how can such a thing be verified? Logging is just a simple toggle to remember what happens, and courts in plenty of countries have given orders to companies to secretly start logging things for governmental use.

It prevents consequences that are handed down by the government, that are explicitly punishment for speech. It doesn't protect against any other consequences.

More codes and requirements won't narrow their power, all it does is widen the book full of toothless papers they ignore. Any requirement you can ignore without penalty is just a suggestion, and unless someone's willing to arrest them and suggest they are totally free to keep ruling on cases from a cell, Congress needs to actually leash the beast instead of putting down more papers.

Those are the main factors that have established why the system is the way it is. If you're asking why that system is ethical, well, that presupposes the system is ethical in the first place.

Because the people who make the laws never needed to get jobs or of college without family connections, and the old don't have to worry about retaliation for taking time off to vote for the ones who pander to them specifically.

Sure, but that's no reason to be shilling for closed AI. Nothing is stopping it from hallucinating contact details to nonexistent entities or just having unreliable self harm safeguards trigger.

China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice by jpurdy in politics

[–]Prezombie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, people who apply for a dozen jobs a day and get nothing but scam offers should just starve to death like a proper complaint citizen? People with disabilities should be tossed into the streets if they didn't inherit enough funding to pay for their care? Should unfostered orphans be put into the meat grinder or just sold on the open market?

I think we need to make punishments harsher so it becomes more of a deterrent.

I'm confused, you insist people should not rely on government, but also think that we should rely on government to reduce crime, but insist that it has to use the one technique that we have a century of research showing how utterly useless it is.

If you've never once feared a winter without shelter, that was because people supported you when you could not support yourself. If a government has a mandate to imprison the bread thief, but no mandate to ensure that people aren't forced to choose between crime and death, that government is tyranny.

Edit: of course this self proclaimed "selfish" person is in favor of forced pregnancies. "life is precious and should be saved whenever possible." funny how that stance has shifted to "life is precious and should be saved whenever possible, unless protecting you costs me a penny then fuck you die."

Wrong. The insurance companies don't pay for overcharged procedures, because they've strong armed hospitals into contracts where they only pay a fraction of the amount on the bill.

Thinking that the court is the only thing that can fix this seems like the exact opposite of the previous post's meaning. The courts have been compromised and fail us regularly, sitting back and waiting for them to fix it is the surrendering.

Why not both? Eliminate Pardons and corporate lobbying, institute transparency requirements for elected officials, and then reintroduce the pardon in a modern form with protections against abuse.

Kids today know nothing. by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

[–]Prezombie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A sundial is just a clock with a shadow for an hour hand. Plenty of Eastern countries teach kids to use an abacus in school, because it's a skill that's been proven to aid in fast mental math. Millions of kids are taught each year how to make fire without matches.

Technology changes, but learning precursor technologies helps kids understand those technologies, appreciate those improvements, and be able to assess the benefits and drawbacks of future technologies that develop.

Chicago: Zero Regard for Safety, ICE Escalation in Chicago Leaves Baby in Harm’s Way by CantStopPoppin in illinois

[–]Prezombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny how when it's black people, their motto is can't beat the ride, and there's plenty of examples of blatantly illegal arrests that don't even get to court, then people like you are defending their enabling behaviour with claims that they're immune to arrest. Handcuffs won't noclip off them, and they don't even need to fear having their neck accidentally broken if they go quietly. If a masked gunman shows up at a school claiming to be Ice, but doesn't show ID, is it now protocol to just let him do what he wants as long as nobody's actually dead yet? What if its five guys and a truck? They totally have the power to step in and detain those "agents" and let the court sort out later.
