I disagree with myself?

All of that to say, "I think it's reasonable for cops to shoot people because they're scared."

Laws don't dictate morality and entrenching "being scared" as the basis for self-defense laws gives everyone far too much leeway in "being scared" of the black kid with his hood up, or the delivery driver that you got too high to remember, or somebody answering the door to an unindicated police raid with a legal gun in their hand.

One time, my school brought a reptile guy to my school, and he showed us some pythons and lizards and a neat iguana. We should have banned him for being political because, as I said, dangerous snakes shouldn't be allowed in school, and to me (a bigpted low-life moron), all snakes are the same.

Username does not check out.

"The only way to beat them is to just let them pass laws against people they dislike because otherwise, a lemmy user will get annoyed".

We also shouldn't allow 1000 lb Kodiak brown bears or Taipan snakes in classrooms. We should start a large political movement that bans those things from school and also bans any mention of those things. Letting children draw bears and snakes is only allowing them to think bears and snakes are okay in school.

Exactly. Why haven't we banned Hooters, Tilted Kilt, any strip club, any theatre that shows R rated movies. Gun clubs aren't safe for children, and restaurants serve alcohol, which also isn't appropriate for children. Attending church makes a child more likely to be assulted, but so does being near your own family, as well as strangers. Schools pose the risk of indoctrinating kids, but so does their unce Frank. Rainbows? Straight to jail. A Smiley Face? Jail. Any opinion not shared by their parents? Wouldn't you know it, Jail.

Ban people from doing anything because anything has an effect on kids.

Fuck cops and fuck people who support shooting people because they're scared. You're no better than cop aoplogists.

Yeah, weird take that annoying somebody or even getting up in their face is grounds for execution. Get security, get the cops, whatever. They weren't in any danger. They were just scared.

No, it isn't. Hunter is being charged with lying about drug use on a gun form. This would be Trump buying a gun with active indictments against him.

How is this any different than strip clubs? Are states allowed to ban strip clubs on the whole?

Can you show me where getting 7 sick days per year was what the unions were looking for?

"Sure, he killed a strike last year, but he's learning"

He's a neolib that considers the PR of killing this strike more hurtful to his reelection than the last one.

Google search is less than useful nowadays. Google assistant seems to be Google's inbred idiot cousin. DDG doesn't seem to be any better. Most of my searches give the same clickbait results that google does.

Honestly, outside of Google Maps, is there any legitimate value to any google product? Is there a single search engine that is brave enough to give 0 results and also literally parses what you're asking instead of valuating against what the advertisers want you to see?

I dream daily of Google imploding, and every single investor at that useless company going immediately bankrupt and destitute for the disgusting, addled, brain-malware they push.

You should probably have an SSD in 2023.

Your logic is right, but what he's meaning is that capitalism exacerbates poverty. When homes, food, healthcare become commodities the people that can't afford the new norm HAVE to do what they can to survive.

Yes, some-to-most shoplifters may be shoplifting for less than survival reasons, but in the same way many would argue that capital punishment risks the many at the expense of a few, villifying and prosecuting shoplifters risks the legitimate survival of a lot of people.

Another good thing Trump ruined. Relations were repairing under Obama.

Russia is actively conscripting people. The U.S. has had an entirely 'volunteer' force for 50 years.
