Coulda woulda shoulda whatever, thats not reality. People break rules and punishments aren't effective at stopping them. So come up with an effective way of stopping it without ruining people's lives or shut the fuck up. No one deserves their life ruined over speeding, and if you think they do then I hope you get to experience the other end of the stick.

Also L+ratio

And if you were smart enough to use critical thinking and follow your logic to its inevitable conclusion, you'd see how that would just send people into cycles perpetually keeping them in prison and never being able to reform or reintigrate into society all over a speeding ticket. But since you aren't, let me walk you through it.

John gets a in trouble for speeding. Maybe they give him a ticket he cant afford or maybe they just take his car away. Either way it doesnt matter, it just speeds up the cycle so lets go fast and say he loses the car. He now lacks a car so I hope his town has good public transportation! Oops it doesn't, guess he loses his job because he cant get there on time. Now John is houseless. We all know how the houseless are treated so lets just skip to John going to prison. Lets say a year or so later he gets out. Now he will have an even harder time finding a job because he has a criminal record AND is houseless. On and on.

Now since we both understand the cycle I imagine you still think his car should be taken away but simply because youre a hateful and vengeful person who doesnt care about actually stopping crime, but just want to see people who do something wrong get punished (whether or not the punishment will have unintended consequences that cause the punishment to be way more severe than the crime).

This type of argument always pisses me off. "Oh it wont work on a country scale." Why the fuck does it need to? The governments we have doesnt work on a country scale, thats why they are always failing. Its why you have resistance movements like in Basque, Chechnya, Kurdistan, Quebec, Chiapas, Sicily, literally anywhere in the Middle East and Africa, and many many more. They require authority and oppression to keep their huge populations under their control, populations that are often times very different and diverse. Anarchism works because it is not trying to make people thousands of miles apart live under the same system. Thats the whole fucking point of free association.

Youre right, its just so simple! Why hasnt anyone else thought of this? Cause its so simple that it couldnt be that people have thought of it already and it failed. Its almost like its too good to be true!

Your argument is applicable for literally any ideology. Its a fucking stupid argument because every ideology can be handwaved away with "works good on paper, but not with people." Except all of them except anarchism use positions of power to correct that problem. Problem is, positions of power are filled by people. Flawed, nuanced, corruptible people. Even when those positions are occupied by good people, power is corrupting and will quickly make otherwise good people make bad decisions that affect thousands if not millions of people. Yeah you could pass all those reforms you suggest, but you still have those seats of power. Someone (like Trump) can and will get in there and get rid of those reforms, and turn your social-democracy into a fascist dictatorship.

People tend to argue whether or not humans are naturally rational and good. Either way power is not the solution. If people are naturally good and rational, positions of power are unnecessary. If people are naturally selfish and irrational then why the fuck would you give them positions of power?

Other way around. He's accusing us of accusing them of (metaphorically) burning kittens so we can feel good about ourselves on some artificial high ground

My take is a meme is a humorous repeated and shared idea/joke/schema/etc. Screenshots fall under this for me, espcially if the text is in reference to more conventional memes. This is because I count copypastas as memes, which makes it hard to differentiate a copypasta from social media screenshots and such. I would consider screenshots from social medias to be a low effort meme, but a meme nontheless.

My take is we should allow it, but soft moderate it by constructively and politely suggesting other communities that might fit the content better. This would ideally spread more awareness and engagement in other more niche communities, allow people to still post memes in good faith here, and provide a way for people to help softly moderate without ruining other people's fun.

If this was practiced though, I feel there should be a rule that community suggestions should not be spammed in a post. This is to prevent the comments from devolving into brigading and spam.

Me and my partner debated a lot about this because they hate skibidi toilet. I had never watched it and do not care to but I tried to tell them that skibidi toilet is no different than shit we grew up with, they just werent on that side of the internet. It is literally just a SFM video. Its no different than the shitpost tf2 sfm videos a lot of us were watching back around the 2010 and that are still being made today. Is it Pootis Enage levels of SFM cinema? No, more akin to We Like To Party. But to pretend like the brainrot we grew up with is any better than the brainrot late gen z or gen alpha are growing up with is just delusional imho. I mean look at the shit we had, like Badgers, What Does The Fox Say, and plenty more. We always had brainrot on the internet, you're just not a child anymore. Honestly I feel like the brainrot has gotten a bit better in a certain way. Its not as bigoted as it used to be. I remember a lot of internet humor being just saying slurs, racism, ableism, and queerphobia (not to say it doesn't exist now, but I feel it is less common). I grew up with it, I still find it funny even if I also find it distasteful, but if skibidi toilet is the worst of your concerns then I think we are gonna be fine.

Isn't that actually canon though? Cause the first book says the answer to the life, universe, and everything is 42, but then what is the question? And I think in the second book they answer that the question is 6x7

Edit: I was wrong, its actually 6x9. Which means Litterbox Comics only read the first book and is a poser and a fake fan. Probably only watched the movie sigh /s

In my defense of failing to remember the correct question, it has been awhile since I read the books.

I got a friday night detention for throwing one punch at a student who was attacking me. I threw that punch after descalation did not work, and as soon as I saw a teacher I signalled for help. My dad confronted the vice principle who was the one who gave me the punishment and my dad asked him what I should have done. The VP told my dad I did as I should have and as what was expected, but that the school has a zero tolerance policy so I still needed to be punished.

Then how do you fix it? What is your mature wisdom that magically solves the problem of fascism without harming anyone?

I aint saying we brand Nazis, but I also don't think we should be treating them like an abused dog. They arent afraid from trauma and abuse. They want to dominate and abuse others. An abused dog does not seek violence, it lashes out because it feels threatened and cornered. Nazis are looking for violence.

It is ok to punch Nazis. If they don't want to be harmed, literally all anyone is asking of them is to stop being Nazis. It does not seem like a big ask to me
