Italy has a crap load of Cuban docotrs I believe.

CEOs are just doing their job

So where the guards at Auschwitz, they had families to support, acted lawfully etc.

First order, 2nd order or third order becomes an issue as you point out, gun deaths assigned to Winchester or to the shooter or to the Governments who allows legislation for it to happen ? ? Another example, cigeratte smoke, contact from particulates on residuals left on inanimte objects (3rd order) kills thousands of people, whose “fault”? Should you approach anyone seen smoking and rightly accuse them of manslaughter for third order impacts ? Or just shoot them becase it’s a “greater good” ?

I read an article once on how much Artic ice the average American melted annually though car emissions, how many do they kill through car manslaughter vs car pollution, is that then treated like gun deaths? Assigned to Ford or Toyota, or to the individual ? What about voters who choose not to elect politicians who then support car use reduction via public and alterate transport even if they dont drive themselves ?

No train driver delivering inmates to Auswitch killed anyone but we hold them somewhat responsible, not the company making the trains not those building the trains.

What about those working in ammunition factories suppying Israel ? Vicarious liability is a thing. Just rhe CEO ?

Is the wife who shoots her abusive husband responsible? What about the “terrorist” from Afghanistan who had their family whiped out by a US combatant and bombs a Mall in the US ? Revenge, or justice, or ? Should the US Army be held responsbile for it ? The Government? the voters ?

I don’t think it’s a slippery slope, I think it’s impossible to calculate and i don’t think theres any solution. I do think a bunch of people will hold wildly differing opinions eg i think the Unabomber was right and justified and Manson was wrong … for another example. Was a terrorist like Washington right ? Only becase he won.

Grew up on enthusiast BBS, Lemmy is like a bunch of them are linked up.

Dislike for profit internet as it must inevitably lead to enshitification, just never had a term for that in the past :)

I don’t have an issue with “toxicity” as i just ignore it, like a dog shit on the side walk. I prefer the “BBS/Usenet format” to Twitter like Mastodon though I am over on Masto and had been there for many years. I don’t participate much though.

Warm clothes and an electric blanket at night to go to sleep. I keep my body warm not the house.

It’s why we invented the gulliotine

I’d like the age raised fron 16 to 75, I’m 58.

Interesting to read the comments, I was unaware anyone gave mich if a shit about posts, let alone how others might vote on them. I mean I don’t actually know anyone here.

I do hit the upvote occasioanly if a post was helpfu/usefull… to me. Conditioning is the only real explanation I have for that behaviour though.

Quitting a job cold is one of the dumbest things you can do when you do not have any safety nets.

I quit work at 35 and now 58. My only regret in life is not quitting earlier. I get mo pensions or welfare or inheritance, I’m just mindful of spending and ever since I was 19 I invested small amounts of surplus income in stocks and shares that ballooned over the decades to large amounts.

Many years ago, making a sandwich, dude says he needs to piss, i apologise say theres no toilets, he says no worries, pulls his dick out and pisses right there.

Stop driving (pollution, deaths, cost of living etc) and remodel cities and town around PT and AT , restricted gun ownership

Bluesky is the enshitification continuing. Sort of Mastodon on a single, godlike instance which they control…

That’s just an argument that democracy cant work. Because voyers are too feeble minded to discern the wheat from the chaff.

I’d give this some credence if it was a “fool me once” but that’s not what this is.

If voters are gullible fools that we can be easily misled then that does explain why we’re here and why it can never be anything else.

As Orwell opined in an essay in 1937, democracies always tend to fascism if times are tough. Even relatively tough, with the poorest American being better off then the poorest 50% of the planet.

I have been considering th 16 but open to the 13, can i ask why you went to the 16?

Wjy the 13 over the 15? i have been considering the 16

Seems like this is a lot of work to avoid using a poop knife?

Good, made a decision decades ago to have a vasectomy as there are way to many people in the world and misquoting Thoreau, what use a kid if no livable planet to raise them on ?

I always felt if the need to be a parent overwhelmed, I could adopt any number of abandoned kids.

I like kids but I’d fell way to guilty about having any. Not having them also let me retire at 35 and pursue my own interests, I’m now 58.

I’d suggest not, cats destroy and entire ecosystems, I’d suggest cat owners are self absorbed, entitled, narcicistic… or some combination.

Hell, there toxoplasmotic shit kills dolphins as it washes into the ocean.
