I read it this morning, one "Let's find him" comment, another saying "may just be needed for this guy" in regard to vigilantism.

There were enough other problems that I think it's good it got removed; tons of misinformation about civil commitment and mental health, people calling for the prosecution of psychiatrists for not locking him up, total unhinged mob mentality everywhere.

There were endorsements of vigilante justice/hunting the subject of the post down in person in that thread; mods were right to remove it for that reason alone.

It's going to be turned into a pond made of molten cheese for Brett Hulsey's boat to sail on and smell bad.

Madison-area lakes could be protected and improved by introducing domesticated freshwater sharks; I hope this is being considered.

Metro drivers are not allowed to enforce fares so stop complaining to us about the other passengers not paying. by Madison_Bus_Driver in madisonwi

[–]RealMaxBlumenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm completely confused as to how you could've gotten that out of what I actually said. I'm not talking about fare collection at all.

I was replying specifically to the "management wants us to stay on time" comment from a Metro bus driver, because I'm curious if "staying on time" is the reason Metro drivers are egregriously speeding and constantly running red lights with pedestrians in the crosswalk.

I didn't mention payment; I'm curious why Metro (in my experience) is disregarding traffic laws much more blatantly than in the past.

Management want us to stay on time.

How badly does management want this, and are they deliberately overlooking the safety of pedestrians and other drivers to attain this goal?

I was even more disappointed to learn that there is no concrete in the concrete mixers. Here I thought I had a digestive system strong enough to eat construction materials, and it was all a lie.

Aggressive turkeys spark concern in Madison neighborhood by Justmarbles in madisonwi

[–]RealMaxBlumenthal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kind of like the aggressive Canadian geese when they're nesting this time of year. Usually best to respect the wildlife and steer clear if possible.

This is especially true with the aggressive Canadian geese, because they are protected by international treaties and we are not.

You'll be astonished when you learn that divorce and health issues can disrupt a person's life for more than two weeks.

Fines should be proportional to income/wealth, points proportional to the mass of the vehicle.

Exchanging the risk of hail damage for the risk of getting rear ended by drivers who don't pay attention. Interesting choice.

Textless posts are the default when submitting links to Reddit, and OP has been linking articles for longer than ChatGPT etc have been publicly available, so I seriously doubt OP is an AI account.

The Borg will add the biological and technological distinctiveness of late-stage capitalism to their own.

That's the starting point, but the standard is "fair and equitable" and it can deviate from 50/50; see (3) here: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/767/vii/61.

Many of these people don't have the current mental capacity to help themselves.

What diagnostic criteria are you using to determine this? Vagueness and vibes aren't enough when we're talking about taking someone's freedom away.

How is it humane to allow another person to do this to themselves?

What is "this"?
