Death penalty is too good for them, IMO.

Yes, we should act like sophisticated apes and pummel each other with laws, hostile takeovers, and backhanded compliments.
Seriously though, the violence isn’t the problem: it’s the irrationality. Our legal system is based on violence, because there’s no other way. We don’t bat an eye when it makes sense (police arresting a corrupt bureaucrat). The issue is when it doesn’t. I’m actually not even sure this is one of those times!
Anyway, I find it so exhausting in politics when people try to kill each other with laws and bureaucracy. For instance, if the SCOTUS wants religious authoritarianism, wouldn’t it help to just be honest about it so we can fight to the death and excise the insanity? Just a thought.

So are you a religious authoritarian or a garden variety fascist that you feel entitled to dictate to me what I can and cannot do with my body?
I just suggested putting a medicine in the water supply. Why would I be against putting a mineral in the water supply?
So you’re saying there is a constitutional provision to prevent young people from running for office but not old people?
Given that on average teenagers are, according to any testable criteria, smarter and saner than old people, maybe the constitution needs to be amended. Septuagenarians shouldn’t even be allowed to vote let alone run the fucking country.

Yes, and has practically no side effects. They should consider putting it in the water supply.
The whole prescription system is a rent-seeking scheme that enriches various middlemen, including your friend.
How far have we fallen as a civilization that people have to meekly seek permission to take drugs? Bodily autonomy doesn’t extend to medicine, is that it? The unfathomable hypocrisy.
Except it does seem rather odd to keep a medicine from people whose lives it could save (obesity causes a lot more problems than diabetes), because someone somewhere might try to abuse it. Frankly, if you want to voluntarily abuse a drug, great. My interest is in relieving the suffering caused by obesity, not protecting people from the Darwin awards.
Imagine saying that “insulin should be expensive because some people use it for suicide and it has side-effects.”
They could always stop torturing pigs to death and feeding their lard to a population riddled with chronic illness.
The point is that the Chinese EV’s are being heavily subsidized. But we shouldn’t trade with countries that lack labor protections and unions anyway.
This is the truth. You need to create conditions that make renting unprofitable and unsustainable, and all of a sudden property prices will begin to fall as landlords sell. This happened in London after WW2, when renting was over-regulated and most of the residents ended up owning their own apartments as landlords sold off property. After deregulation, the reverse trend began again.
It’s a ponzi scheme
As opposed to Trump, who famously balanced the budget.
Meaning speculation. Just because someone is willing to buy Nvidia stock at a $3 trillion valuation doesn’t mean it will someday achieve that kind of tangible value.
It is. But gamers are dumb as shit so it doesn’t matter.
This is just a list of shit service providers leeching profits from developers and making the gaming industry worse.
They’re not torturing him. Just trying to curtail his existence. It’s incredibly reasonable.
We also don’t technically require that you have a steady supply of oxygen in your apartment, but I’m guessing you’d find it unreasonable if you woke up in a vacuum.
Do we even have a law that says landlords can’t heat your apartment to 100 degrees Fahrenheit? Or a law that specifically proscribe noise machines? Do we really have to specify every fucking thing or can people just be reasonable?
