Yeah, it seems like a demise built around suffering and helplessness. If you crave the sweet release of death, this isn’t it.

Some states have anti-gerrimandering written into their constitutions, so that would not be easy.

Also be the Hip Hop Pop, which imo is more important.

Oh yeah, location sharing will have almost no effect those risks. Totally agree.

Just disagreeing that low probability of occurrence automatically means the risk assessment should be low.

Risk assessment is probability and severity. The probability can be vanishingly low, but if the severity is astoundingly high then acting like a high risk situation could be appropriate.

Take asteroids. The last planet killer to hit us was 94million years ago. A rudimentary estimate could put the probably as 1:94mil. The severity of an asteroid impact of that magnitude is off the charts, so it is reasonable to consider it a risk and act accordingly to spend resources to search for and track asteroid trajectories.

The severity of abduction, murder, and rape is probably pretty high for most people, so considering it a risk even with a very small probability is not unreasonable.

This was my first thought too. I guess clouds are scary to me now.

Nice of the billionaire to vacate perfect real estate for city owned grocery stores

Luckily Lemmy isn’t that popular yet. (Plus we’re all poor.)

I agree it feels very slow, but identifying the correct action and then building consensus around that action takes time. Once consensus is built it is very stable though. That is supposed to be the biggest benefit of democracy; stability built through coalition.

I’m loving this saga. Better love story than Twilight.

Thank you for the write up. That distinction makes a lot of sense.

Ahh fantastic point. There isn’t really an incentive for the individuals to maintain/perpetuate the institution.

I understand the sentiment. I’m wondering about the efficacy of the strategies to achieve those end goals.

I don’t agree with this. Shareholders extracting value from a company is arguably more of an ‘inefficency’ than treating employees fairly. Well treated employees provide a benefit to the company while shareholders purely remove resources.

I have no data to back up my claim, just logic, so I could very well be wrong.

That you very much for writing this up. It is super interesting, and I feel bad for dismissing her. Unfortunately, I will probably continue people whom are the vague they.

I read this in Jake Peralta’s voice.

The cars done even use Tesla’s famous electric motor design (induction motors), I believe they use switched reluctance motors. Def a smart design choice, but not on brand!

Surprisingly, Star Wars is a great example of this. A rinky dink political group (rebels) blowing up a military installation (death star) is terrorism. That does not mean the action was unjustified.

I mean, she just has to serve out once in a match to win the scenario in this question. I don’t think it’s that unreasonable.

Electric subs have been around since 1881… So almost the first, but just missed the mark. Sorry to fact check.
