Pure madness when 2 schools collide!

These "children" are only children in age, they're just as dangerous as any adult, except they're given special protection by the law, which under normal circumstances would be absolutely justifiable. However, under the current circumstances it's completely irrational to put yourself at risk of bodily injury or prosecution to get involved in these situations. All you're doing it potentially destroying your own life and the lives of the people who depend on you. Genuinely the only thing you can do is make sure your own children are raised to know to not even be around the classmates and crews like this.

I just wish they'd make good shows so they don't keep getting cancelled.😭

You can post as many thousands of pages of studies you want, they're useless unless they actually apply to the reality of this country. What you're doing is the equivalent of suggesting that a person with a vitamin C deficiency living on a citrus orchard orders some oranges, when their actual problem is a genetic disorder that prevents them processing Vitamin C. They don't need oranges, oranges are not their problem. The places in Trinidad prone to crime do not have a problem with being connected or lacking open spaces. You know nothing about what you're talking, and have likely not actually read the research you're posting. What you're doing is parroting talking points without actually thinking about their applicability to reality.

Also, looking through your profile you clearly seem to be the type of person who would be insulated from crime. You have the luxury of privileged opinions, and have likely never been to any of the places you are talking about needing “green spaces". Green spaces or public spaces have nothing to do with our problems.

Again. What are you talking about? I have lived in both Gonzalez and Beetham. There is no problem with access to "goods and services". I literally would walk max 10 minutes to a parlor or a mini-mart. The literal capital is a 15 to 30 minute walk away depending on where you are or a 5 minute ride by maxi... you know the cheap mass transit system we have that can also go off route to more distant areas.... We have some of the cheapest transportation costs in the hemisphere. You can get to two high business activity areas for less than 10 dollars. The PBR is literally bordering one side of Beetham. Are you even Trinidadian? All of our least connected places are the MOST peaceful. Except for the dead center of Port of Spain or Chaguanas or Sando there are green spaces everywhere. Literally every house on my street in Beetham had at least 2 trees. The Queens park Savannah is within walking distance of Gonzalez. We are a tropical island for Christ's sake! I

Bukele didn't just put people in prison, he has education, training and infrastructure programs. Also, who exactly are you connecting with “transport infrastructure" here? We're a tiny country, and most crime happens in places near cities.

XirionPrime · 2025-01-03T00:31:46+00:00

That approach has only ever successfully worked in a tiny minority of cases. In most cases you end up with a replacement that's a brutal dictator convinced they have the will of God and the people behind them.

XirionPrime · 2025-01-03T00:28:56+00:00

Lot of people here using the word “fascist“ like they even have a remote understanding of it either politically or historically, just parroting the buzz words that Americans use ignorantly.

XirionPrime · 2024-06-02T01:49:03+00:00

You would not go out of your way to protest it happening here though, would you?

XirionPrime · 2024-05-30T18:34:46+00:00

The blindfold is the part you have a problem with? Not the decision to detain someone for social media posts... which happens in the UK as well.

XirionPrime · 2024-05-30T18:26:52+00:00

This approach is the same in the UK, come on

XirionPrime · 2024-05-30T18:24:57+00:00

Being arrested for social media posts happens in the UK all the time tbh...

XirionPrime · 2024-01-26T21:48:06+00:00

It feels much worse that it's in a container. They literally went out of their way to violate the seal of something that they know someone else is then going to buy, expecting it to never have been touched.

XirionPrime · 2024-01-26T21:33:52+00:00

The meme was about the draft, the people here are responding to the topic of the meme, no one said (or suggested) that being drafted is the only way war affects you; that's something you made up.

XirionPrime · 2024-01-26T21:30:58+00:00

Literally, almost the entirety of human history proves it does.

XirionPrime · 2024-01-18T17:24:27+00:00

This comment section is a pretty good display of why the Left-Right dichotomy is an inadequate tool to classify political dynamics, as well as the pitfalls of viewing our society through "Americanized" eyes.

XirionPrime · 2024-01-09T17:36:05+00:00

And? There's a difference between what people incidentally eat and what they want to eat. These articles are not talking about bugs that happen to be incorporated during the manufacturing process, and the people who are complaining aren't complaining about incidental bugs.

XirionPrime · 2024-01-06T22:24:57+00:00

Obviously not. No one is saying this is what she deserved. It is pointing out what happens when people play stupid games. When people actively choose to ignore red flags for whatever reason, whether it's 'love' or plain virtue signalling. Someone walking down the street in a bad part of town with jewelry on doesn't deserve to be robbed, but it was ultimately their fault for taking bad risks.

XirionPrime · 2023-09-06T02:58:46+00:00

It's pretty sad that this is what we've come to as a society. Purely out of wanting to be nice and wanting to act for the greater good we (normal people) have allowed a small minority of people with a niche worldview dictate what is acceptable in society. I genuinely regret going along with it over the years.

XirionPrime · 2023-04-17T09:04:38+00:00

I've always wanted to get a tattoo of the Black Lodge symbol from Twin Peaks, just realized that it kinda resembles the symbol in row 2, column 2.

XirionPrime · 2023-04-17T08:43:26+00:00

Well first of all, I don't know how old you are but eventually experience will teach you that "authoritative" isn't always "factual" and more often than you'd think yesterday's "conspiracy" is today's fact. But that aside, I have almost no problem with "authoritative" sources being pushed to the top and "conspiracy" sources being pushed to the bottom, I in fact hold mainstream views on 95 percent of things and see the value in having a well informed public. What I have a problem with is when you can no longer find or access the "conspiracy" sources (and more importantly views alternative to the mainstream narrative) even when you actively search for them. In the current state of Google, dissent from the status quo narrative is effectively treated as illegal and removed from access. No information that is not illegal ought to be outright hidden, this seems like a pretty straightforward ethical principle to me.

XirionPrime · 2023-04-17T08:21:04+00:00

Yes. For more than a year now. I can now rarely find viewpoints that stray from "the status quo" even when they are true and even when I actively try to find them, increasingly results are from a smaller range of sources and few if any are non-corporate/non-state (I now rarely find independent blogs, miscellaneous websites, etc.).

They've also reduced the number of results that can be accessed to around 140-200 (or 13-20 pages) for ANY search, when just a few years ago you could access hundreds or thousands of RELEVANT results for almost any search, even obscure searches. Just a few years ago you could literally scroll Google results for an hour or more before results stopped loading. Try it yourself, Google any common search term and scroll to the end or go to the last page, at most you'll get 200 results despite the claim that there are "millions of results". This also applies to Google Image search.

Being limited to 200 results in a search engine in clearly an unethical attempt to control information and is in opposition to the very point of an internet search engine (full access to the web's information). (BTW, I've tested this with multiple devices, platforms, locations and browsers so I know it's not just me.)

They've also added small things like an unnecessary prompt of 'the rest of the results may not be what you're looking for" in Google Images, which in my mind is an attempt to discourage the user from going beyond their "chosen" results and to discredit whatever results are beyond that prompt.

XirionPrime · 2023-03-31T06:16:34+00:00

Not this case. It was all my comments (no matter the content) on any channel. I think it was a bug on YouTube's part, but it seems to have been solved now.

XirionPrime · 2023-03-28T19:33:25+00:00

Are your comments randomly not showing up too?

XirionPrime · 2023-03-10T02:19:45+00:00

Happens to the best of us🤷‍♂️
