I would love to see another initiative like the giving oath. After they show they are not a piggy bank to crack open and waste like every other money pool greedy politicians get their grubby hands on, they get together and discuss the state of peoples wellfair and decide to pledge 5% voluntarily to a communally run wellfaire fund to help the people struggling the most in a sustainable way.

Now say again this isn’t generational trauma at it’s peak? The abused and slaughtered nation becomes the abuser. Bibi might go down in history as the next Hitler. Pray he doesn’t have the German need for efficiency.

Wow, that’s not a healthy cat.

Scarface? Pretty sure its the last scene before he gets up and riddled by bullets while shooting his Tommy gun.

The usual suspect would be lax security measures due to corruption.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — A high-speed train slammed into the rear of another train that had stopped, derailing two cars and killing at least 30 people on Wednesday in central Spain, according to local media.

It’s 30 people now.

Sounds reasonable. Assuming matter and antimatter split into equal parts that would have to be the case. I’m not sure if annihilation is a perfect process. Assuming energy density creates separation of energy into matter and antimatter of equal parts and no sudden annihilation happens, that would most certainly result in such a conclusion.

TIL. Thanks!

I always assume it’s the same reason why are have mostly right handed people. It’s just that the scales tipped at some point and it had to go down one way from that point.

Well, that didn’t work out so well for her. And losing to trump must hurt especially.

Maybe, if so I apologize. Lemmy is kind of a toxic place most times. Lots of incel like behavior mixed with leftist ideology. Makes you expect the worst of people here. Business people fulfill an important role in society. They take the risks and resulting losses that everyday people are unable or unwilling to take. They do that based on the potential upside from owning the business they create. Limiting that is a dangerous gamble because it might stifle innovation and there are already declining numbers of people that are ready to take and carry societal risk. I’m all for taxing rich people, but it has to deny people getting too powerful while enabling people to get wealthy enough to take care of anybody they care about for a few generations at least.

Those are actually pretty good views how society should work. I would even vote for you. But what makes it extreme is when you start suggesting our side has to balance the other extreme by going to the same extreme measures. You go from “killing is bad, they do it so they are bad” to “killing is OK as long as we do it to them”. You lost the part about avoiding killing, entered a slippery slope and tomorrow you are killing every dissident under the sun. That’s how every dictatorship starts and we should educate ourselves about it and limit ourselves to the bare minimum what is necessary to go back to a well regulated society. Locking up overly aggressive billionaires? Sure. Calling for their beheading? Should be a nono.

I’m not arguing pro death penalty. I’m actually hardline against it. I agree with your statement absolutely. Just stating that the malice part comes from the unnecessary cruelty, intended or not. In theory the protocol was designed to be painless and clinical, but they keep botching it but also keep doing it, which is in fact malicious even when applying Hanlons razor.

In theory that should be carried out like euthanasia. Imagine someone putting down your dog and they cause all kinds of suffering because they like causing it and the animal is gonna be dead either way. It wouldn’t be acceptable either.

There simply shouldn’t be political extremists. But here we go again. Maybe suggest a guillotine while you are at it.

Absolutely. You know this web comic where a wolf smells the meat from a human camp from afar and on the next panel he is a pooch? ;)

And to think that this started as a wolf just a few generations ago.

It’s called compound growth and everybody has equal access to that. Getting the capital is the trick and it’s not really easy to save a little consistently.

Maybe somebody should tell the state to build more affordable housing. People like voters…

Its more like spend less money than you make and learn about low cost index investing. Obviously there are lower limits to that. Especially for families.
