  • I mean crimes of passion would be the simplest example.

    Some heirarchy is inherent in society. It can be as simple as a farmer making better cheese than their neighbor. Now they keep more and people who know it is better and like cheese are more willing to give more for it. Now the better cheese maker has more than his neighbor. That inequality is a base for hierarchy. There's no human nature involved in generating that hierarchy besides better cheese and cheese lovers.

    You keep talking about police as they are-that is a strawman I ain't arguing for. In any society however, there remains a need for enforcement of those societal laws. Unjust laws/enforcement are not an argument against laws or enforcement entirely just that laws and enforcement should be made just.

  • Id actually argue the majority of people are inherently good but something needs to constrain the minority of the inherently "bad".

    I'm arguing for massive reform so don't @me about what is when we're arguing about what should be. I've had enough lived experience as a melanated individual. I've also seen what mob justice does-while a last resort when justice is otherwise obstructed it should not be the first line when it gets things wrong so often (see lynchings).

    Policing's past as slave catchers and continued existence whereby they protect property over people is not what law enforcement should be. However, no matter what society you make there are individuals who will break laws in both minor and major ways. A lot of criminality is a result of socioeconomics but not all and there needs to be a way to enforce punishment on those exceptions in an equitable way.

  • Uber eats/doordash is a different level. I don't use them unless I have a gift card.

    Instacart and similar as mentioned here do upcharge but it is just regular groceries so I can cook and eat at home. It's on a basis of time=money. I want back the time I'd have to spend grocery shopping so I'll spend money for it. If I ever get employed somewhere with reasonable public transit or safer biking that may change.

  • It's not so much that you literally have no time but spending the extra money is a way to get the time you would otherwise spend on groceries to do other things like spend actual time with the kids before they sleep and walk the dog before it's dark.

  • Isn't not doing that part of the draw of foss? That sort of UI/"engagement" is necessary for monetization but is not for foss.

    A product getting "sold" is in direct contradiction to it being foss. That's the viewpoint of money and enshittifiers.

    Most people here are specifically avoiding those companies in part because of their "engagement" algorithms.

  • Honestly, yeah. Pre-Dobbs and they would have been allowed that dignity. Mom has been dead for months now. The baby was not viable when she died. If the baby was viable when mom died a c section could be done. The family did not want her body kept alive for this.

    The baby is also severely damaged and likely to need full-time care and live in suffering until it dies. It is less than 2lbs with severe brain damage.

  • Last count I saw from 50501 was about 8.6M. Traditional media is reporting about 5M. 50501 is probably including even small protests as this was done nearly everywhere including less official ones in small towns while trad media is probably only including the fully official larger ones.

  • I read about 60-100pg/h. Something like a shakespeare play that has dialog and therefore less words per page can go faster. I don't use speed reading techniques and I always did fine on AR tests and book reports (i never bothered using cliff notes cause I actually like reading).

  • These are the ones I know but there are others who i dislike but never learn their names. I could also probably think of more but that's more time and headspace than they deserve.
