People are the problem, then. All people. And not in a solvable way.

I can't fucking fix you or myself or anyone else. If technology was the problem, machines can be repaired or replaced. People can't, yet you all insist on being fucking insufferable.

Oh yeah, Trump? Well, come near anyone to defend those fucking nazimobiles (provided there was no one in them, I'm not crazy) over people and see how long you last. This is war, doesn't matter that you're a handful of people with a shitton of money, WE WILL END YOU.

The article itself fits, thank you.

He's 10, and even though psychopaths can start that early, psychopaths can't feel or fake regret. Are you going to send an 11 year old to prison over a boy recklessly grabbing a gun owned by his parents? Even as an adult, that's manslaughter but not murder. Even if he could potentially be a sociopath (who can fake empathy), what proof do you have that's the case? Are you willing to send a 11 year old to prison for life on the coin flip he might be a sociopath? Are you willing to do so if it was your son?

This is something that should be watched very closely. If he can be deported or imprisoned, you can.

I literally refuse to buy from Wal-Mart because of that shit. Lied to their workers nobody was getting fired or laid off, bullshit.

"And the Inner Party was safe."

"War. War never changes."

"Back home, you guys were the Nazis." "Maybe so, but does hating me make you any better?"

"People! Soylent Green is PEOPLE!"

"What is he going to find out there?" "His destiny."

Context always matters.

I don't know what AI these assholes are using but I only trust perplexity to research for me, I still check the answers and at least glance at sources.

If you're a parent, the number one thing your child needs to have is knowing how to question things and think for themselves.

Beyond that, point them to a research AI such as - but obviously not exclusive to - Perplexity. The AI you choose needs to be able to fact-check things well. So far I only know of Perplexity but I'm not some spokesperson so I welcome other suggestions.

If you can get the former, they'll live. If they get both, they'll succeed. If they only get the latter, they're doomed. AI will not fix this, only enhance the solution.

You can stop the Trolley at any time but the switch is on the tip of Mt. Everest

Fixed.

You can refer to the post where I explain that I filed a restraining order (well, threatened to) against the city's only bylaw officer and it actually prevented them from harassing a homeless Native Canadian friend who we wanted to give shelter to. Fuck you, hypocrite.

Cops can't do so except in plainclothes, it's illegal for government employees to protest in uniform because it presents a conflict of interest if a government agency or department (or here, instead of departments, ministries).

Also, do you have any idea how much corruption in police forces can be solved just by disallowing investigation from within? Every corrupt cop hates when they can't commit a crime and get away with it because every cop in the country is subject to 3rd party review. I don't know for sure if we use that here, but I've asked cops what they think of the kinds of situations pointed out in counterarguments, and they admit it's not a perfect system and that there's only so much one person can do so it is unlikely to be solved.

According to your logic, policing is unacceptable. If you're discriminated against, the US has a long history of criminalizing minorities at every level of the judicial system, yes. That doesn't mean cops are unhindered in corruption here. Judges here prefer rehabilitation, or if the person committed a crime like assault or murder then they actually consider "is this person sane" a valid question.

There is discrimination in Canada against natives. In my experience, I've personally seen my dad's Salish friend be kicked out of our house by City Hall. By a bylaw officer.

You think I did nothing? Oh no. I immediately walked to City Hall and fucking told them "I am filing a restraining order against your bylaw officer". Grand Forks was too small to have another bylaw officer, and the one that they had was part of their inner circle, that effectively meant they could not administrate my family, which meant we were able to fight back against City Hall as if City Hall didn't have a say.

We never saw them discriminate against my dad's friend ever again. Beat that, you goddamn hypocrite.

I think you're a human being, and that not one of the people commenting in this thread seem to care that blanket statements don't help, so why am I not also entitled to make blanket statements like "humans are stubbornly unaccepting to the point of cruelty"?

Nobody is. If you're going to call the kettle black, fucking admit you're the pot. Nobody is doing anything about your fucking situation because nobody can.

You know that, right? Trump didn't get elected. He stole it, and the reason nobody stopped him is because you let capitalism get to a point that the supposed result that he won seemed plausible. And Russian interference is probably what got him in, because bomb threats to voting stations? Record voting turnout, but lowest participation in recent years? Someone must have taken and destroyed a lot of votes...

But by the time that was known, Trump had already taken office.

You know Germany was a democracy before Hitler took power, not just after, right? Plus, even then they tricked people into supporting them because nobody yet knew the word "Holocaust".

Nobody supports Trump except a few rich assholes betting the farm on his monstrosity. This problem was inevitable the moment WWII ended, because capitalism without regulation grows like cancer. By now, it doesn't matter what anyone wants unless you have the money to buy the entire industry behind it.

By that logic, you're a bastard for thinking democracy is a good system because the US isn't a good example of a democracy and you live in the US. By that logic, you have to defy all orders instead of question them (because you either obey or defy at all times), which is anarchistic at best. By that logic, capitalism is a good thing because it makes innovation profitable and thus desirable by penalizing stagnancy, which is patently false.

Poor people don't choose to live in a society where they have no value, why would a good cop be able to choose to be in a society where all cops are perfect? Why would anyone be able to choose to be in a society where they suffer?

This isn't a policing issue, it's a cultural issue. This is what anarchocapitalism looks like, the inevitable result of a society brainwashed into thinking socialism and communism are the same thing.

I'll give you a hint: The US has never been communist, but everything Trump took from you were socialist government systems that actually (barely) helped combat the money bias. Why? Because capitalism has an end goal, industrial feudalism where you are property of a corporation or a wealthy owner. And right now, the US government and it's police force are even "deporting" white people to El Salvador.

It's not authoritarian to follow rules that seem to make sense, it's authoritarian to say the rules make sense if provided with opposing evidence. Some of the rules still make sense here. That is all I'm saying.
