Türkiye is also part of NATO, that is gonna be an interesting conversation when Israel strikes Turkish assets

Nothing fancy, some generic 2560x1440 Acer IPS

I have a 4k OLED w/ HDR for gaming or whatever my main activity is, a second 2560x1440 for background videos, but I want a vertical monitor for terminal outputs and documents. Also just more space when I’m juggling a lot of windows

just bought a third yesterday…

Not to be confused with “Panzerschokolade” (tank chocolate), distributed in the 1940s, which was chocolate with meth.

That’s bad and all, but I can’t blame them

25% on top of the old price, for goods not produced domestically. Assuming that’s all of them, that’d be 25% of your spend going towards products (Services are part of your spend, but don’t get tariffed), indeed. But some things get produced in the US, so I imagine they factored that in there. For the average household, this seems to amount to about $1200/a

Carrying capacity of the earth is something like 15 billion with current technology, our wastefulness and overconsumption (of the rich, globally speaking) is the problem. Which reduction in population can mitigate, but not fix

As you said, the standard for evidence needs to be very high. That means long and protracted trials, multiple rounds of appeals, etc. You’re condemning the loved ones to years upon years of proceedings, having to face the perpetrator again and again. This is not a gut feeling, there’s empirical studies about this.

Reduce that time and barrier of proof, more innocents die. What percentage is acceptable?

There is no rational reason to use the death penalty over life without parole. The only reason is the base, if very understandable, instinct to have people that did unspeakable things suffer. But if suffering is the point, why stop at executions? Why not first torture them for what they did?

I firmly believe that the carceral system should serve to rehabilitate those that can be rehabilitated, and for the worst offenders, isolate and protect victims, their families and wider society from them. Putting punishment over the well-being of victims and co-victims, and over the risk to innocents, is not something we should want from a civilized society.

The death penalty does not work. Not as a deterrent, not as closure for the families, not even to reduce costs. Even if you think there are acts so vile that someone forfeits their right to life, there are many reasons against the death penalty. For example, what does rock-solid evidence mean? There have been cases with good evidence, multiple witnessed and a full confession, that later turned out to be wrong convictions. What percentage of innocents among the convicted is acceptable?

Here’s a great video by Shaun that goes through the arguments better than I could: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L30_hfuZoQ8

Get a passport card. It’s valid ID, proves you’re a citizen, and doesn’t have your address on it so cops and the fascists from ICE don’t learn where you live. Keep the original passport somewhere secure, like you said
