True, properly educated and vetted comrades would prefer blini.

On the one hand, im kinda in support of not subsidizing the auto industry.

On the other hand, I know this will only hurt us ecologically and economically.

Will this see a spike in EV adoption before Trump takes office?

Going the next step, FCC licenses only have as their paper. If people want to broadcast, the only thing stopping them will be their own grit against whatever the gov’t wants to throw at them, be it a few lawyers or SWAT teams.

Lemmy is full of fucks and dicks. Sometimes they even have something to say!

But really, I believe any expletives should be used to further a message, not just because you can. Or filler words while talking.

Of course not! They were all there as private citizens, independent from any bureau obligations.

As an Italian, you have the power to respect people more.

Everyone has this power, but Italians do too!

No place for it in the next world either.

Prevents poisoning only insomuch as other people won’t bother adding more poison to your food.

Can’t make it much worse for you.

For projects like this (longish and a product of several sessions) including levity for the sake of your own motivation is fine.

What isn’t fine is missing proofreading steps before sending.

Then which is the littlest roaring cat?

2. return to society with the harm being neutralized - any alterations must 100% be the choice of the individual (e.g. a serial rapist could elect to be castrated, a kleptomaniac or stalker could elect for permanent tracking via microchip, etc)

We kinda do this already with ankle monitors, not that I think subdermal tracking would be any less fallible.

As long as murder is unacceptable in society, it’s the price you pay for the privilege of stripping someone else’s rights from them.

Therein’s the rub, see. That’s the price to be paid for one person. If the murder of one enriches the many, maybe it was worth it. And since not everyone values lives equally, not everyone can have a unanimous take.

IMO, the only valid use of lethal force is if there’s no valid alternative option to protect innocent lives. I would kill if it directly spared innocent lives, but not if there’s any possibility of protecting innocent lives another way.

I laud you for having and knowing your heirarchy of values, I am still (and quite possibly forever will be) determining my own red lines.

As I understand it, that is a large part of Trump’s success with certain groups.

Admittedly, that turns off people who don’t agree with what you’re saying…

I skipped incarceration because you’d already expressed it as preferable to capital punishment.

It’s only inhumane if they’re no longer a danger to society.

I cannot agree there. Unless you’re arguing that “everything is legitimate” in the case of dangerous individuals, I imagine you don’t really believe that either.

Rehabilitation is always the goal, but in instances where it is unachievable and the perpetrator is reasonably expected to remain unrepentant, is keeping them alive and imprisoned for life at the expense of law-abiding citizens the way forward? Would they not grow resentful of having to support those who do not follow the social contract?

When you say “least amount of force”, what do you mean?

Intimidation? Lobotomies? Brainwashing?

At what point does keeping someone alive but “neutralized” become inhumane?

It always is amusing when British people accuse Roma of being thieves when they can’t even have the English language without stealing widely from others.

Very weird to share a screencap of an empty store.

Per wikipedia:

In England, the rowel spur is shown upon the first seal of Henry III and on monuments of the 13th century, but it did not come into general use until the 14th century.

Rowel spurs being the spinning wheel kind. Most spurs were more like bird talons on the back of your boot.

I.e. shit for throwing.

That tracks. I was hopeful that Harris would put some more distance between Israel and us than Biden had (not a big or difficult ask, I thought). Her consistant distancing from any Palestinian-adjacent ideas really put the nail in that coffin.

She was either disappointing or unnoteworthy on most other fronts, but I voted for her anyway.

Is it spoken “illi-noise” or “illi-noy”?

With no limit. I wanna turn this skyscraper into a moon-cannon.
