In a way that doesn't hurt people, but still lets them get their feelings out there. like, free fireworks for arsonists if they use them in the middle of the desert. Or a punching bag for people with rage issues, complete with a little vinyl pocket to store a picture of someone they're frustrated with. If people go out of their way to hurt people otherwise, then they are bad people and should have their power removed from them and supplied with love, affection, and therapy until they get better. And if they don't... well, prison I guess, until they reconsider. And by prison I of course mean something that respects their human dignity and gives them opportunities to grow and change - all it removes is their freedom, so... "attention everyone, it's now mandatory finger-painting hour, report the art room or else you'll get electric shocks in your shock collar" that kind of thing. If you want freedom, you must deserve it ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3054 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-1074 exactly! something immoral like not voting against fascism! ... okay maybe not the best example, but yes I agree you should only lose freedom if you demonstrably hurt people. And that freedom should not take with it your right to a happy, healthy, and safe life with community and love. Innocent until proven guilty becomes a lot easier with global surveillance, but with global surveillance there can be no unethical actions. And sometimes, to escape local minima, unethical actions are required. Though I'd rather build a ladder to climb out of a pit than a drill-dozer that explores through the graph. ... these days it kinda feels like drills are our only option, though. I feel less so that way after Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee over Biden. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3055 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── If you're on a Windows computer, first of all why and second of all you can use the WINDOWS key + SHIFT + S to screenshot a part of the screen. this will put it in your copy/paste clipboard, meaning all you have to do is ctrl+V and boom suddenly you are significantly more productive. just don't forget alt text... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3056 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── whenever I meet a bigot I just assume they're soooooo far in the closet that they keep getting banished from Narnia and need to come here to complain like... girl I know you look like a boy, and I know that you're pissed about that, but don't take it out on us lmao ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3057 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── (I don't meet many bigots tbh) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3058 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── @user-1441 @user-670 @user-113 currently toe-ing the boundary between "too neurodivergent to function" and "can juuuuust barely take care of themselves" and they ask me to get a job... no thanks, guess I'll die (in 3-4 months when my savings run out) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ |
