I don’t think community policing is state violence.
I don’t think community policing is state violence.
So you expect every marginalized group to have their own personal cops?
That is so clearly not what I’m saying, have a good day.
>This is what Israel is using white phosphorus for, but the article is biased and never mentions it
The US and many other countries use white phosphorus based smoke munitions too, and it is not a war crime
That is true, but using it as an incendiary weapon in civilian areas is.

on a smaller scale it’s harder to form a group that would argue for necessary support for these people
Idk, I kinda gotta disagree with that. Sure, mob violence against “undesirables” is always gonna be a problem, but communities know each other and are less likely to see different constituent groups as “outsiders”
But in this specific example, where we are talking about “how do we decide who gets to use violence to keep the peace,” I think community-based democratic approaches are the best option.
I also gotta disagree with
that community will still have its marginalized groups that don’t get representation
because by definition, if there is a marginalized group, they are not part of that community, and instead would form their own peacekeepers, like Guardian Angels.
Obviously there is a benefit to federalization, I’m not arguing for nor do I support statelessness, but I think if democracy is emphasized from the ground up, those issues naturally tend to erode. Like I think the core problem which necessitates the federal government stepping in to ensure rights comes from a lack of democracy.
Oh wait I just reinvented violence of the state hehe
Except if the state is a community voting on how they should be policed, it isn’t really violence, is it?
Sure, and there are some performance gains to be made from it I’m sure, but when my OS is doing that and my web browser is doing that and my browser based chat client and my browser based text editor are all doing that, it gets pretty sluggish.
This is why Linux is a godsend for older machines, even running the exact same applications (Firefox, Discord, and vscode) on the exact same hardware, it still feels more responsive on Linux because there is less overhead from the OS itself.
4GB is what Windows idles at for me, after everything has loaded.
You present a false dichotomy. Yes, things like uncompressed audio and HD video take up more storage space, but that does not negate that modern commercial software is very inefficient with how it uses resources. You could improve the efficiency of the system while keeping HD video, it is not a mutually exclusive choice.
For example, booting up Windows and doing nothing takes up 4gb of RAM, while doing the same with a lean Linux installation would take up a quarter of that, despite both operating systems having identical functionality (run web browser, open applications, edit documents, play games, etc).
Garfield and it’s consequences have been a disaster for the human race
We can have the government do something and have people raise their kids, it’s not either/or.

Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? Dare I say the quintessential Superman story.
The Proteus arc of Uncanny X-Men, while not as popularly know as Dark Phoenix or Days of Future Past, the Proteus issues are a trippy and engaging story from the classic Claremont/Byrne era of X-Men.
You have no excuse, your brother told you to keep it non lethal
Yes honey, that’s the point, the logic was dumb so I was flipping it back on them.
Yes honey, that’s the point, great reading comprehension
I agree, I was just flipping back the dumb logic of “it isnt widespread, and if it is, it is your fault”
We should communicate more, and the comic is a pretty good communication of why women are often (or rather, seem often) dodgy/cagey with men who are interested in them.
For many women, it is a regular occurance. Perhaps if you are frequently being assumed an asshole, maybe you are the problem?
True, but that all exists on a spectrum, and a law which prohibits all children from using a device because you don’t want your kid using that device and they’ll get bullied if they’re the only one, seems a little excessive. Might as well ban expensive sneakers or shiny pokemon cards too.
The root of the issue is parents controlling how much their child uses a device, and you just cannot legislate that away. Even if it was 100% illegal, you think parents wouldn’t let kids use the devices in their home if it made things easier? “Just ban it” never works, you need to incentivize alternate behavior.
But that’s also legislating how everyone should raise their kids based on how you want to raise yours.
