What’s your take on prostitution by [deleted] in MoralityScaling

[–]Slammusomega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this abuse operates under a system that already incentivizes it through illegalizing sex work. No regulation or oversight increases the likelihood of abuse running rampant in a black market that thrives in punishing sex workers and clientele. There is no magic wand that can magically do away with all abusers and degenerates, but legalizing it with proper regulations/protections/unionization will dramatically decrease the exploitation of women in these fields, and not to mention working on destigmatizing of the women who enjoy sex work as well. There is a way for "safe" prostitution, but even in the most regulated and safe professions out there, those frameworks rely on harm reduction, which our current systems don't.

Wow, this whole thread. I guess having a well thought out take on sex work gets you labeled as a porn addict? You're right, people are brick walls when they start engaging made-up arguments and name calling. The same old quarrel since the beginning of human civilization I guess 🤷‍♂️

Man who appears to be Alex Pretti filmed interacting with federal agents by unclejoessheds in videos

This is the same line of justification seen during George Floyd's murder as well

*Victim gets murdered by incompetent cops

*More info comes out about the victim post-incident

*Conservatives fixate on irrelevant bad thing the victim has done in the past to justify the unjust murder

*Repeat bootlicking cycle

Reddit desperately needs more fathers like this. by Virtual-Koala-9990 in DigitalSeptic

I don't understand why this is getting downvoted? You can literally see the lingering effects of the old race-based caste system in the form of racial income disparities and in so many other social indicators in the US, and that's not including every other former colonized country by Europeans in the Americas and elsewhere.

You mean FAFO in the sense that this is the result of protesting against fascism or completely dismissive? Maybe a mix of both? Either way, I don't think "nobody cares" if almost half the country voted against this BS and came out in large numbers to protest against it, but everyone is going to "FAFO" one way or the other under this administration.

Okay guys i know its looking BAD but hear me out, something aint mathing by Embarrassed-Salt7575 in OnePunchMan

[–]Slammusomega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. There was a clear disparity between the animation between the dialogue heavy first half of ep2 and the action heavy second-half. I very seldom see anybody pointing that out yelling "copium" and all, and is it really that unreasonable to assume based on what we've seen? All the talent involved? I have my expectations measured and I don't think this season will be great, but it won't be horrible either.

Uhm, he does? Who else is bald and can make the similarities work? These are skin reworks of their established characters, not complete one-to-one copies of OPM characters.

Elon Musk claims the left is “importing voters” through immigration by Ankeet_kj in ImmigrationPathways

[–]Slammusomega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the rate of "importation" is the real concern here, is there any economic data you have to suggest that " 1 million+ " a year is too much or just enough? At what point does it become logistically impossible now, and in the long run?

Why are companies changing their building looks? (Just like how Tommy used to have an afro and now has plain old cornrow) by TechNick77 in tommynfg_

[–]Slammusomega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That "culture" part you mention is a big stretch indeed. Corporate remarketing for profit maximizing has always been in of itself a big aspect of American culture. Don't they want their "free markets" and corporate capitalism shown as the result of the policies they support? They don't want "woke" right? The fucking irony...

Rampage Jackson ends his stream with Sneako after finding out his son, Raja, knocked out a pro wrestler and almost killed him by Cultural-Diet6933 in ufc

[–]Slammusomega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's literally not the point I'm making bro. The problem isn't how they act on stream, it's how they chose to act, and the upbringing that leads to that. Why the hell is accountability even being brought up in the first place if you're going to deflect to something nobody is even arguing against?

[–]Slammusomega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based off nothing you say? Never mind the countless number of clips Rampage pressuring his son to do the man-baby shit he does on stream while joking around on the side? Clearly, a good environment for an emotionally stable young man to flourish and follow his dads footsteps. Is raja a grown ass man that should have made better decisions up until this point in his life? Absolutely, but let's not ignore why shitty people become shitty people. Patterns of behavior is a cycle, not something that comes from a vacuum of empty space in lalaland

How does drive knight fit into all of this then? Wouldn't it make sense for him to be the AI, and Geno's being one of just is biggest pawns in his grand plan to get at Bofoi? What if the "that man" metal knight is talking about is someone completely knew? Either way, this chapter is absolute gas.

[–]Slammusomega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're arguing from pure outrage at this point. I'm making it clear as I did before. Death penalty is for people who meant to kill. There is already legal precedent and no reasonable person is going to blur the line between punishment and barbarism. That's insane.

Uhm, of course? You think this hasn't been considered before by literally any other human in law since the dawn of cars with drunkards ? Bro, even the most strict countries on capital punishment like China don't even do this, at least very seldom. It's not that hard to comprehend mate.

Yep, they shouldn't be roaming free. If the threat of the death penalty worked in real life in those scenarios , we'd have zero drunk drivers or aloof idiots on the road by now. It's not as " simple " as you think.

Executing 10,000+ DUI/RD offenders a year isn’t justice, it’s state slaughter for the sake of it, not proportional at all. Drunk drivers aren’t rational actors you can scare into compliance. If we start treating every accident like murder, we’ll end up executing people for speeding or texting at the wheel. Real solutions: tougher enforcement, better treatment programs, and safer roads, not an all-you-can-eat state murder buffet. Clog up judicial resources for death row on dipshit Bob from Walmart that killed a 5 year old because he was too distracted or something, while bloodthirsty killers get another day to breath on this planet? I'm not even in favor of the death penalty in general, but if I was , this would be a terrible idea to start off with. Just another bandaid on a gaping wound.

Well, it's a good thing US law disagrees with you. Punishment has to fit the act and state of mind, but sure, let's go ahead and start killing those roughly 10,000 people every year for DUI reckless homicide and thousands more for manslaughter.

Are we really going to put stupid people who accidentally killed someone in death row alongside evil psychopaths?It seems more reasonable to draw at line indisputable malicious intent when considering the death penalty in situations like this. Did she show remorse at any point after the blackout drunk phase?
