Strict liability is a scourge of the law

Neat, a government cartel.

Should just be called a fortpound

This may be cliche but your actions always extend further than you, the people to whom you chose kindness will help that kindness ripple out, and many won't forget it. If we had the clarity to be able to see the entirety of the consequences of the actions we take like that we may just become overwhelmed with positive feelings for once.

In the city I live in there are a lot of larger old houses that have been split into three living units, one on each floor. Theres no way to buy individual floors of these houses so if you want to own it yourself you either rent out two units or take two units of liveable space out of the market.

Owner occupied small properties are probably the least offensive kind of landlording, and in the example above, taking two units off the local market because you want to make sure the ethics are in check likely means two families will end up with worse landlords.

From a technical standpoint its still probably not 'ethical' but neither is half the things we have to do daily to not die the way the system is set up. Child and forced labor exist deep in the supply chain of materials that goes into our goods and food. Underage undocumented migrants fill US meat factories too.

First and foremost though, physician heal thyself. If this is the way you have to get housing for yourself, house yourself. No one else is going to house you because your ethics are on point. Maybe im a bad anarchist for this one, but if this property is the difference between you having a house and not, dont sweat it too much. Our society doesn't exactly shower us with housing choices these days.

The shot heard round the boardroom

When it comes to data driven trials, we deliver one round at a time.

Holy crap they are, oh man I'm not saying I necessarily believe it must be connected but the optics are hilarious either way.

I'll confess I still go to reddit but I've purged all news and politics from my account there and if anything I'm trying to distance myself more from these things without not being informed. I'm not succeeding yet, but im trying XD

And soldiers are obligated to follow orders. If they follow an unjust or unethical order the soldiers themselves get prosecuted just as hard as the ones that made the decision. He had every opportunity to say no or leave, he didn't do either. Simple as.

Bold move when vigilantes want to put limits on CEOs lifespans

At risk of being berrated by fediverse purists, ive actually been having the best discussions around this on bluesky of all places.

Other people will take his place and continue to do what he was doing. It's a systemic issue.

The issue will stay systematic if we dont hold the people who make the decisions in the system accountable. The CEOs decisions directly impacted people, thats not a system thats his choice. Poverty is systematic too, but when a poor person does a crime they have to suffer the consequences of it. God forbid rich criminals see consequences. Mods seem to be arguing he had no agency in his choices which is a lie especially if you compare him to other insurance CEOs

Yeah that makes sense, im no expert but whats that saying 'physical access is root access' or something along those lines. Id imagine this is true (in spirit at least) about the cables.

Considering Bidens been in congress for decades, and high ranking too, does he not have a big share of the blame for how the climate got to where it is today?

Its designed to be used for pen testers so they don't have to spend $20,000 on the alternative cable. Its a single cable thats costs like $200, so im not really worried many people are going to get hacked because they accidentally bought a $200 cable.

Isn't that just human trafficking at that point?

You could look at this as a one off, or if you want to start looking at assassinations in total then you get to include the two trump would be assassins and make a damn strong argument to your point that this is exactly what a society that refuses to hold people accountable looks like. Honestly its the same concept as when the Black Panthers started giving free breakfast to kids, if no one else is going to solve the problem, people will do it themselves.
