Your brother is an fool and shouldn’t be allowed outside without supervision, nevermind voting and operating heavy machinery.

It definitely changes the options available to overcoming it!
A small club has a bylaw saying they serve no hard alcohol at parties. That’s a real rule that is enforced. But they can change it with an agreement, or just ignore it from time to time.
Something like acceleration due to gravity is going to happen no matter what.
Sometimes cultures have really toxic ideas on them. Probably all cultures have something. Like in the US there’s a lot of “the only emotion men are allowed is anger”, for example.
How do you fix that? Is there a general solution? Because sometimes it’s like enforced by the very people it’s harming.
But it’s all social. Made up. It’s not like physics. We can’t all decide that acceleration due to gravity on earth is now a nice round 10 m/s². But we could just decide working long hours is bullshit.
I’m going to guess it’s the same origin as “the cruelty is the point”. Some people just don’t want other people to be happy.
Also some people aren’t fact driven. Working fewer days feels like it should be less productive, so it must be.
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Sometimes you feel like the shittier game took players from the game you’d rather be playing.
Sometimes you feel like the shittier game is kind of a knockoff, and it feels bad when that succeeds.
Sometimes a game is made by a horrible company with a history of abuse from its high ranking staff.
On the one hand, not a big fan of moba or purely PVP games.
On the other, I deeply dislike overwatch specifically and would like to see it dead. Maybe this would make a dent.
Also Marvel’s Civil War 2
Someone on the Internet put it nicely as “there must be outgroups the law binds but does not protect, and in groups the law protects but does not bind”. That’s all there is it to it. My people good and can do what they want, your people suck.
Stripped down to this basic level, you can see it’s a pretty vile worldview.
Healthy parenting would go a long way. See some of the other comments in this thread.
You can also have settings on your local network. If you’re afraid of your kid casually finding something inappropriate, you can set that up stuff locally without involving the government. A determined kid will still find a way to get stuff, so this is more a safeguard against accidental discovery.
Investing in quality education would also benefit everyone.
the only way to protect kinds (like little me) is to block the porn.
This is false.
Parents have a number of options available to them that do no need to involve the state.
It’s difficult to compromise with people who want to kill you for what you are.
Probably pull justices from the lower courts at random to hear individual cases. Much harder to bribe all the judges than like two well known supreme Court justices.
This one bugs me so much. Like I’m not even aiming for full veganism. Just… less meat.
No.
“But I like it!” Irrelevant to the problem.
“Other people are worse”. Irrelevant to the problem unless you want to go start doing vigilante justice.
If it actually did result in republicans being crushed under a giant domino, at least we’d have that going for us.
Huh. Guess they don’t like extratone
There’s a strong chance you don’t have many extratone records in your collection. An electronic genre that operates at a tempo of 1,000 beats per minute, and can sometimes hit the startling realms of 10,000 BPM, extratone is an acquired taste to say the least—and possibly just a smidgen out of your standard tempo comfort zone
Maybe, but I think what you said is very naive. Like, “They let a doctor cut people open, but when I do it, it’s a crime” tier.
That’s a very naive equivalence
I recently came across the “the card says moops” video about (some kind of) right-wing thinking. Essentially, beliefs and opinions are tools to be picked up or discarded as they are useful, not because of any internally consistent belief. Explains a lot of this kind of thing.
I mean, yes, you’re right that it’s a simplistic take. However, falling for that kind of nonsense is not a sign of intelligence. Being able to assess “Is this a good source?” and “Are other people in fact people?” are signs of intelligence.
