Scotch as in the tape, not the whisky

  • There were no states in the earliest of tribes, yet they survived:

    they survived by... say it with me kids.... EVOLVING INTO STATES!!!

    the following quote you provided having been generated from chatgpt does not make your argument sound any better

    Over scarce resources - yes that is a plausible scenario indeed.

    Hmm i wonder where i could find a realistic scenario with ever decreasing resources, climate change, increasing wildfires, greed and corruption, i really do wonder if such an idealized and completely theoretical world exists.

    The groups will need to federate on the level of neighborhoods, towns, cities, states, nationals, and eventually, the planet

    Soo.. towns government, state governments etc etc? just like now?

  • assaulting a police officer without doing anything is a new one to me...

  • We have only a few decades to not only come up with that answer, but also with its rigorous implementation.

    nononono.

    We either have it NOW or we vote for the lesser evil. There is no waiting, it only causes fascism to rise

  • i understand the systemic racism in police but "driving while black" isn't an actual crime, let alone one that can put you in jail

  • this sounds awfully similar to "man or bear"

    just because police are uncompetent pigs who sometimes shoot the caller, doesn't mean that in the majority of the cases they'll shoot them.

    And just because you have that 1% risk of getting wrongly shot (could be lower, pulled the number out of my ass) doesn't mean you should try to face the very real and instant threat of another person trying to stab you.

  • i mean you were the one who brought up not calling the police on fights, soo

  • Hey, totally unrelated, isn't it great how convicts are so heavily vilified for life?

    murders someone in cold blood

    WhY dO yOu HaTe Me sO mUcH

  • what, the domestic abuse hotline with one person at the call center located at the other side of the country? that will then proceed to call the police anyways?

    be realistic

  • what? fuck off with this acab bullshit, it's not all black and white, if there's a knife fight in the neighbor's house i'm calling the police, and i'm appalled that there's someone who wouldnt.

    what do you suggest, getting stabbed yourself? ignoring it and letting an innocent human being die? how would you even sleep with that at night?

  • I mean I can still drive faster then allowed if nobody is watching. Should we stop enforcing speed limits because of that?

    I think i explained myself poorly, the regulations you proposed are very good and should be enforced, but especially with old people, smoking everywhere will be so much ingrained in their brains that they won't care and tell everyone who points it out "what, it's just a cigarette"

  • fellow sailer here, didn't mullvad discontinue port forwarding a while ago?

  • 1L flasks, dimroth condenser, heating mantle, heating plate, materials to build an electric kiln, if i have anything left i'd use it on chemicals

    and i'm probably already overbudget, home chemistry is fucked price-wise, we're lucky to have synthware for all our glassware needs but for equipment you either diy it or go broke (a good hotplate is ~500$ new, 200$ used in bad conditions)

  • some day we're gonna run out of letters in the alphabet for "*-word", just say whatever, it's the meaning that counts

  • totally fake, who works on a table when the floor is so much bigger and comfortable

  • put BIG warning labels on packages and every single cigarette

    already done, even with images of lung cancer, addicted people don't care and kids think it's "cool" and "taboo"

    put quit smoking programs onto every package

    same as above.

    • prohibit smoking in ALL public spaces
    • prohibit smoking while driving
    • prohibit smoking while near vulnerable groups (kids, pregnant women, ill) even at home

    how are you going to catch them? who is gonna enforce the law, the chain smoker cop? you directly, going against an highly aggressive person who's in the middle of nicotine withdrawal?

    Remove vending machines which provide this drug 24/7

    • move dispensary to drug stores

    i mean sure it cooould teeechnically work

    a bit of an unpopular opinion, but as someone who almost chokes on second hand smoke, i'd personally say just fuck it and outlaw cigarettes and vapes entirely, they're durgs after all, no? (this might open up another discussion about legalizing drugs, but whatever. Also shrooms and LSD don't stink up the whole place and actually have fun effects unlike cigs)

  • on the last plane i was in a couple in front of me vaped the entire flight while trying to hide it. and that's only the people i could see...

  • very cool stuff, i stand corrected

  • and the law only requires that you scribble the ID somewhere on the craft

    most bought drones also transmit it wirelessly too

    many use direct WiFi connections

    yes, the toy ones, once you get 10m away you aren't controlling that drone anymore, let alone recieving pictures

    which can be completely spoofed over 3G proxies

    once you start introducing the internet the lag becomes unbearable, and also phone towers are aimed at the ground, not at the sky, so you'd get shit reception anyways

  • drone laws requiring an operator license and drones to broadcast a unique id traceable back to it's operator.

    and if you patch the drone firmware or build one yourself, it's still trackable via radio signal triangulation to the controller's position.
