To a certain extent, yes.

Like it’s a good idea to drink from a ditch if that’s the only water. Better than dying of thirst anyway.

Fascist movements have no allies, rich or poor. It’s all about how useful and trusted you are by the paranoid maniac in charge.

If there’s anything the Right and the Left agree on, it’s that the worst thing you can ever do is be Neutral.

It depends on what the software does, and how well reviewed it was. A lot of cases I’d say yes, but if it was (as an example) a personal therapist app I’d be pretty suspicious of it.

Murphy’s law says it will be used wrong, and as such it is a bad design and a bad idea.

There are alternatives that are better, this has only the advantage of being cheap.

Those of us that remember our grandparents getting away with it are a product of survival bias.

I think it would do us a lot of good as a society if we relaxed a bit on all the censorship.

Well, Canada for one. If you don’t want me to record you saying stupid shit to me on the phone… don’t say it.

There are exceptions for specific things, but that’s how all rules work: the specific overrules the general.

Never trust a man with a pig farm…

How the fuck is me grabbing a rifle and shooting a fucker I’m sure killed a loved one in the head any less justice than the state deciding to hire a bite mark analyst to frame the person they want to go down for it and making sure someone’s punished so they look strong, then cooking them with a Looney toons gadget or dosing them with torture drugs til they die? That’s what you said.

It’s less justice because it’s likely to lead to a spiral of violence.

Just because shit’s bad doesn’t mean it can’t be worse.

Feuds are not a mythical beast. They are historical fact.

I don’t. I think there isn’t enough popular support for a gun ban for success to happen and it would be a pricey boondoggle. Laws that don’t have public consensus behind them have a poor track record. Look at prohibition or the war on drugs.

But it would not fail because of the size of the country. That’s silly.

There are a lot of businesses that cost so little to start it may as well be nothing. But you need to eat until they get off the ground.

Because the bad products are claiming to be good. It’s a poisoned product category.

A bidet is a safer option, and cheaper in the long term.

Unless you’re doing metalwork or something, then you should be wearing a bit more.

That’s how you get feuds.

Seriously, did you think that the people convinced they’re right taking it into their own hands would stop with you? Haven’t you seen all those parents and other relatives arguing that their kid/whatever could never have done it? Even after mountains of evidence, let alone after they’re just gunned down? Some of them don’t even care if they did it!

And once its a social expectation that return violence will come if you retaliate, the logical next step is to wipe out the offending family. Because that’s the only way to take revenge and be safe. Shit gets bad fast.

One of the prime benefits of our “justice” system taking over the revenge business is limiting feuds.

You don’t have to have 1 dude do the whole job. You can just use an equal amount of people per capita as smaller countries have.

It’s not possible to live according to the morals of everyone else. They’re mutually contradictory with each other for one thing lol. I’m at peace with the idea that other people won’t always agree with me.

A Ulefone Armor 34 pro. It’s a ridiculous 2lb brick with nightvision, a fucking projector, and 25,500mAh of battery.

But there are a LOT of phones that check off a few less of those those boxes. Reasonable phones with only twice as much battery as any Samsung. GSMArena has a filterable search function, just filter for phones that work with the bands your country/carrier uses. No phone is compatible with all countries networks!

While there is nutrition value to some bugs, most grasses pass undigested through the human gut. We are not ruminants Also if you leave bugs for a chicken to eat, you can have eggs instead.
