Run out of money?

You can just make more money, seriously.

All countries can just go into a bigger and bigger debt. It doesn’t matter, money is made up.

Somebody call a Bondulance

Is that belt a bike lock?

Just. Hang. Them. All. Till. Death.

I hope they are never allowed to own a gun again.

Fuck that’s a big boat.

Does one person seriously need a boat that big?

Like you can have a smaller boat but it still be tens of millions of dollars and not require an army to crew.

It’s true though.

Honestly neither woman really plagiarised to the extent that a major punishment is warranted.

But this Ackman guy what a loser.

How do you be a billionaire but still post on Twitter (ol musky aside)?

You can literally do anything on the planet and that’s what you do?

And you know what? At least he has the answer and can die knowing that.

Nothing worse than a ‘what if’ haunting you forever.

Great advice 10/10.

If you go in trying to bed them you’re likely going to crash and burn.

Just try to make them a friend it’s a win win win because if you hit it off then you get a friend, if the attraction is reciprocated you may get relationship, if they aren’t interested in you but see you as a good person they may try to set you up with a friend of theirs that is single.

Can’t lose with this method.

People who have learnt from experience.

There’s only so much YOLO you can handle before it’s just not worth it.

Are the vegans alright?

No we don’t.

Our world is complex and burying our heads in the sand about new frontiers of harassment does nothing good.

Great question.

What are the realistic alternatives to incarceration?

It’s true that a relatively small percentage of offenders will require a custodial sentence for the benefit of society as that is the safest place to manage them but, for the majority of offenders this will do more harm than good. Correctional centres are criminogenic [1].(https://ecommons.luc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1027&context=criminaljustice_facpubs)

Instead, society more broadly needs to treat the root cause of a lot of crime, which is, that crime is a socioeconomic problem.

By properly funding a social safety net, including job programs, housing and education for vulnerable people (yes, criminals are actually vulnerable people) you would see a reduction in crime and criminal behaviour.

Say that this doesn’t satisfy your Old Testament lust for vengeance though? You need a pound of flesh? In that case correctional facilities that actually function to rehabilitate do exist and don’t have to be punitive and inhumane. I could point to Nordic examples but the reality is any centre that has programs designed and implemented to actually be therapeutic and a safe environment would be better than the current status quo.

This again though requires significant state investment and will mean that the for-profit correctional industry ceases to exist. It is a bad idea to profit from incarceration as it sets up perverse incentives. Why would a private prison want to rehabilitate people? It would put them out of business.

There are plenty of other options as well, diversionary sentencing, community courts, restorative justice etc etc but this should hopefully give you a flavour of the very well understood solutions to this problem.

They’ll ruin it just like they ruin everything in pursuit of profit.

Baby, it means whatever you want it to mean.

If you introduce microtransactions but they have zero bearing on the actual gameplay it is tolerable.

I don’t need to spend money on Dota to have a full experience of the game.

I didn’t know the Mikey Mouse horror movie had been released early?

Damn I’m old.

Yes so did I. This article is dated Oct 7 2023.
