The biggest state, bigger than many countries. How different can it be from other parts of the same country?

An armed society is a society where people are looking for someone to shoot.

Except they don’t even attempt to look like good people. Satan would think he’s been doing it all wrong, he should’ve just said “I’m here to rule over you all and destroy the world, vote for me”.

Of course. The more you have to spend on shelter, the less you have for everything else.

Cuts should be made at the top, not the bottom. Always. If you have to raise your rents, no you don’t. You have spare properties, you’re doing fine.

If he wasn’t Jewish, they probably would’ve just scrapped the whole thing.

It wasn’t with no regard. They were deliberately giving minorities power over majorities and splitting ethnic groups with borders to fuel conflicts.

They should all be able to vote. From prison, too. The punishment never needs to be to take their voting rights away. If they commit fraud, stop them from committing fraud again.

Their options are pack up and leave, or throw down their weapons and surrender.

Yeah, that’s not any kind of improvement, that’s just moving your hours around. People can do that now. Shouldn’t need to. The 40 hour workweek is way out of date, 32 hours is barely catching up to where we should be by now.

They attack all healthcare over abortions, and now they’re even targeting military promotions and interstate travel for the same agenda.

I find it easier to do it the other way around. Pirate all the games, then buy them when they’re available DRM free.

Technically I own some games on Epic, but I don’t install from there.

Should have them in the West Bank as well, ensuring Palestinians’ homes are safe, if the goal is long term stability and growth rather than the subjugating status quo.

A monopoly trying to lock in browsers isn’t going to last in the EU.

Regulated capitalism. Prosecuting corruption.

Reroll at what point? “Hey, kids, today you’ll learn about resurrection, and what that booth is for”. There could be billions of people with no clue about the rules, let alone trust in how it would work.

And it’s just that much messier if non-humans are part of the cycle. Hundreds of billions of farm animals and semi-domestic species like rats, and all the rest of nature. They don’t get opt-outs.

Ideally it would mean everyone’s united in improving society for everyone and especially raising minimum standards, when you could end up as anyone.

Oil companies will default to doing anything that makes them money. Governments need to make climate forcing cost them more than their revenue.

It is just a tool, if a writer can use it, why not? But without the writers and the involvement of humans to verify and edit the work, might as well just have the public use their own AI units instead of paying a studio for something they didn’t put any hours into.

Trees replace themselves. So yes, forests store carbon, rather than specific trees. Also, dead trees don’t just evaporate into the atmosphere. Other species eat them, etc. Over time, more and more carbon will be stored somewhere, if it’s left alone.

Trees are cheap and effective, but humans are destructive. If we just left nature alone, cut meat production to a level where we could pull everything back to older fields, it would recover relatively quickly.

Meaning we need to prosecute and take punitive actions against humans and corporations who just can’t cope with not being destructive. Any business that’s willingly involved needs to lose everything. Make it impossible to profit from, remove the incentives for farmers when the money disappears and loans can’t be given out because the banks stopped existing.
