Thanks you’re doing uwu work.

Cry me a river.

Of blood.

about any traffic violation or all fines in general?

Not all “legal offenses” are crimes. Legal systems have categories for a reason. Got caught loitering in the act? That can quite simply be solved by just have you go back to pick up your trash. Some things should not be punishable with jail, some others should, nazism clearly belongs in the later category.

And it probably won’t solve the issue anyway. Just putting people in jail seldom does imo. Yanks have already tried that.

Lemme let you in on a secret:

Yanks don’t send people to jail to “solve crime”. They don’t want to “solve crime”. They fill jails to have a cheap abusable workforce. They’ve even come out saying it openly out loud. Why do you think it’s black people or homeless people 90% of the time?

That’s basically a tax on not being rich enough to be a nazi, which… well.

I saw an uwu guilotine picture the other day and now can’t find it, fits pretty well for the “petit ami” aspect.

Pot, kettle.

Me? Aaaahahaha lol no. If I can’t solve this problem I should also not be put in charge of what happens after the solution, ya know.

As for how to solve it: again, no idea. But that does not remove the fact that it’s an actual problem. Another option would be to allow everyone to vote but weigh the votes on what differently, but I’m sure it’s just about another flavour of the same intrinsic limitation. But it’s defo not something “anti-democratic”: for a system to actually represent and help people, it has to somehow prevent them from shoot their own legs off. If the system allows leg chopping, then those who already have an advantage due to more resources, more reach or more entrenched power, are going to have more, not less, of an advantage once legs start chopping.

The people who don’t vote don’t count on votes, period. Trump won with the popular vote.

Vote. No, really. If people actually fucking voted, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Trump won with the popular vote.

A key element to defeat things like fascism, which build themselves on the popularity of fear, is that voting can’t be free-for-all. Voting should require, or be weighed with, some sort of licensing, testing of sane mind, awareness and understanding of at least current events, review of known association with dangerous anti-society parties, etc.

I’m told three marked bullets work wonders.

Just because people consume music slop, does not mean that that is a natural demand (given the supply is explicitly artificial, so certainly there’s an economic incentive to generate demand), or something they deserve to consume or have to be given to consume (you shit every day; does not imply you want shit).

An artificial effect is not the same as a natural cause.

Why would I pay >$30 for a subpar watching experience where there’s annoying people all around, I can’t stretch my legs, I can’t bring in my own food, and I’m shoved an industry ad that blames me for seeking a better market option (the seven seas stores tend to have the same movies for less than 1/30th of the price)?

Hmmmm. Works only once… has a 24 hours deadline… only transports matter…

Look, I’ll take it for $5. And I’m already taking lots of risk.

Hopefully this teaches people there are platforms to upload video other than Yotube.

Do they get to stay in the tautology club?

I think they mean the original.

Eh, I prefer my boob processing to be tactile. Juuuust to check.

My understanding is that Matrix is worse than XMPP in basically every way.

Signal is unfortunately as vulnerable to this as Telegram is, as it is a fully centralized service so once the CEO is grabbed is Game Over. Something like jabber / XMPP would be better.
