Actually, we see the world in

I mean I was just giving a simple refute to the guy that said all is good if “no one” is harmed, not really debating perfect systems in society. Basically this

Almost always something “bad” happens though, someone is harmed… Someone rapes, you jail that person -> the rapist is harmed. Is it a bad process? Of course not.

It’s not about not harming anyone, it’s about harming the right people. Who we harm in what case is what almost all political discourse is about.

You’re doing exactly as much as required? How rude of you.

It does indeed work on Firefox mobile with tampermonkey. I should know, I implemented this and am using it that way mostly :D Don’t like many of the apps.

I use this on the Android Firefox browser :D didn’t like the apps at the time I made this, that’s why I made sure that it’s compatible with mobile Firefox as well.

So first of all, the only reason to do this is to achieve authoritarian control, simply because many people want more power. Power is the end goal, not what you want to do with that power, they simply want more of it. This is the overarching theme for all of their actions.

And yes, in a society where the general public has more power than the ruling class, theoretically, they have to get public support. “Protecting the children” sounds good to the general public. Read the article to see how the law is worded: “children’s rights to moral, physical and spiritual development supersede any right other than the right to life, including the right to peacefully assemble”

But the actual reason for why the war against LGBTQ specifically is popular, is a sentiment among many people that sexuality is evil, and only barely acceptable just to facilitate childbirth. If you look at LGBTQ, almost everything within it is for free sexuality, and if you’re gay, lesbian, trans, asexual for example, that theoretically directly goes against childbirth. Thus the rationale against LGBTQ is, they don’t want their kids turned LGBTQ by never even learning that it is an option for them. No public events => children never get in contact with it => children don’t become LGBTQ.

I mean yeah, that’s who I meant with “people”

With all the interdependence we built up that’s hard to remove and would take decades, it’s kinda sensible to hope it can weather a few years of stupidity. It’s not entirely unreasonable to hope that after people seeing the first shitshow, it wouldn’t happen again.

This is one of the funniest posts I’ve seen here so far. Thanks for that! I unfortunately don’t otherwise have anything to add that hasn’t already been said, just wanted you to know that I enjoyed it a lot :)

Of course, you are theoretically completely right. But Greenland has absolutely 0 infrastructure, not even basics like roads between places, and almost no people, and Canada would resist so powerfully (they have nuclear weapons) that it’s also completely unrealistic.

Doesn’t the US have plenty of these materials, it’s just too expensive to mine it because of environmental protection legislation, wages, energy costs, missing infrastructure for it and so on? This wouldn’t change in Canada/Greenland.

You really don’t notice what you’re doing, do you 🤣

You’re actually pretty obnoxious with this…

But… That’s already the case even with timezones… There already is an international date line where one side is a day off the other.

But buyers are much less likely to get synthesized alternative drugs if they can just get the real heroin legally.

Somehow the most obvious solution of legalization still entirely eludes them.

I have the Aurora store on my /e/os so I can get apps that are on Play Store too. Haven’t noticed any difference in experience except that well, no Play Store is installed.
