  • You raise a good point.

    I think what might be a better idea would be to take every person who is slated for execution and they are allowed a 5-minute clip but onto some sort of public broadcast where the world gets to decide. They can argue the reasons why they should be forgiven and the prosecutor will explain their crimes in great detail.

    Then the world gets to vote and majority rules. That would help me be seen as a merciful dictator so it's a win-win all the way around. Plus it would also help me weed out people that were wrongly convicted or people where the law is too strict for the crime.

  • I would automatically forgive every debt of every person in the bottom 75% of income.

    I would then institute a new currency that cannot be exchanged for the old currency and devalue all currently existing currency in the world.

    I would replace all of those currencies with a credit, where one credit is worth one hour of unskilled labor, meaning that the minimum wage would be set to one credit.

    Developing new skills and providing that labor at higher skill levels would give you federally mandated minimum multipliers of your minimum wage.

    Worldwide I would make it a rule that the C level executives of any company are directly personally responsible for the actions of their company as a whole, meaning that if a mining company chooses to disregard safety measures and get one of their workers killed then all of the executives of that company are guilty of manslaughter and will be tried as if they personally slaughtered that man.

    Every company that is currently traded on the stock market would have to have external oversight so that they cannot monopolize their field.

    Every company that utilizes software must submit their software to a federally secured library with all of the source code and all of the steps needed to recreate their software.

    This will be given copyright protections for 21 years, after which time the code will become public domain.

    All copyright will be set to 21 years from the date of its creation.

    All nuclear weapons will be destroyed and converted into fuel for nuclear reactors.

    Every person currently in prison who did not commit a violent act will be automatically pardoned.

    Any person who did commit a violent act and who has more than 10 years left on their sentence will be immediately executed.

    The maximum amount of time a person can be incarcerated will be capped at 10 years. If a person does a crime that requires incarceration of greater than 10 years time they will be executed.

    If a prisoner participates in a work program they will receive the minimum wage that they deserve based off of their qualifications.

    I would also abolish all health insurance and instead transition to single-payer across the world. All hospitals will be nationalized and required to achieve a set minimum capability to be certified as a hospital.

    I would forgive all debts between nations and remove all tariffs as this is now my world and there are no debts between my Nations and there are no tarrifs between my Nations.

    Every country or collective will be given the absolute right to operate with its own presidents and leaders and groupings as they so choose without molestation from other people or groups.

    In the event of a dispute there will be a world Court and you will argue your side with the world Court and if they are unable to make a decision then it will be given to general vote to decide the outcome.

    Being as that there are no officially established Nations anymore, people will not require visas. You will have a license to operate a vehicle and the freedom to go wherever you are capable of going in the entire world.

    I would also demilitarize the world to a reasonable degree and spread out small militias to act as a policing force.

    Of the police would no longer have qualified immunity in America or anywhere in the world and every police person would carry a camera on them at all times when they are performing their duties.

    Turning off the camera or having a malfunction in that camera that is not immediately reported while you are interacting with a member of the public will be grounds for severe consequences up to and including execution.

    After that I would just steer the course we haven't landed on Mars yet we've not begun to colonize the solar system we haven't repaired the damage to the planet there would be several special interest groups established to achieve those things and if despite my utopian concept the majority of the world decides that I'm not worth it than it the very least I'll have made enough positive impact to be satisfied with the outcome.

  • I don't know. I think Mac gets a lot of hate simply because it's a Unix that was sold to the devil and comes with a satanic concierge service.

    Like, I'm not saying that selling your soul to the devil is possible but if I had to pick a handful of people that on the whole I would say probably did I would pick Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Elon musk, Jeffrey bezos, Larry Page, Vladimir Putin, and probably every Hollywood social elite and musician that sells a platinum record, every Republican senator, congress person, and every president after Jimmy Carter, and every CEO whose company is worth more than 10 million dollars who didn't inherit the company from their parents.

  • And commercialized farming is just spraying brawndo over the field and calling it a day

  • I was talking to that specific person about that specific cat.

    But yes.

  • Or a law stating that in the case fair refunds can not be provided that the software needed for running the hardware becomes public domain and is published and released on a git maintained by the library of Congress.

  • Whatever you do to that cat I will do to you

  • To put it into American terms that's about two football fields

  • I don't know what you're talking about. The only people that believe Santa Claus isn't real or the people who have no joy in their lives.

    Even if you say you don't believe he's real there's a part of you that thinks that he might be real and you know it.

  • I don't know, I've got an adopted aunt whose mom drank while she was pregnant and she is the most irritating cunt on the planet.

    All the depth and warmth of an iced out corpse vagina filled with sandpaper.

  • The military guy was really stout, it was weird feeling a different belly on my body, but the white guy was basically me with white skin and a mustache from what I remember.

  • That's absolute bullshit. I've never met anyone who turned their bully into a friend while they were still in school together.

  • None.

    I don't need anything they're selling.

  • Most of the ones I've seen actually had a map but the problem is that since it has no internet connection it can't update when changes happen in real life.

    Therefore you have to go and find new and updated maps for it and a lot of them cannot be updated either due to new maps not being released for them anymore or the manufacturers expectation that there aren't enough of those devices in service anymore for a map release to make sense.

  • My older brother still jokes about the time that when he and his wife first got a DVD player they watched a movie on it and once it was done he asked her to get up and rewind the movie and she ended up spending 2 minutes while he was doing everything in his power not to laugh at her trying to figure out how to rewind the DVD.

    DVDs had been out for quite a while at this point they were just late to the game.

  • I have an old 6 volt lantern that uses a battery that is 6 inches wide, 4 inches tall, and 3 inches deep.

    If I turn it on it gives you almost enough light to actually see where you are going and the battery lasts for about 2 hours.

    With two 18650s I could replace that battery for a package 2/3 the size of a pack of cigarettes and run that light for a day or so.

    If I replace the bulb in it with an LED equivalent I could probably stretch that out to nearly a week.

  • That is my issue with Scooby-Doo villains. They always leave such a easily traceable breadcrumb of evidence that takes you straight to their secret layer and unveils all of the twists and terms of their rascally schemes.
