Imagine walking outside in an uninhabitable wasteland like Phoenix.

This would have been true like 20 years ago. Summers are hell on earth.

Supreme Kangaroo Court

Tankies said that tanks should just crush the protestors. Republicans share that opinion, because all authoritarians are the same: simple, rabid, malfunctional creatures.

Normalize smashing pervert glasses on sight (while still on face).

1. Corporation makes evil thing.
2. Evil people use evil thing.

There’s enough blame to go around, don’t worry.

Think back to 2015. Gambling was legal in a few select areas, like Las Vegas. It was fine. We weren’t INUNDATED with gambling apps and gambling sports ads targeting everyone 24/7, including children.

This is a brand new problem created by an idiocracy of bad laws, corrupt rulings, and worse regulations. And what’s terrifying is how fast this problem spiraled out of control: half a decade. That’s how fast it festered.

Your black market argument doesn’t apply for several reasons. Most notably we know what it was like 8 years ago and can directly compare the consequences of changing the law. Those consequences are absurdly bad.

The Supreme Kangaroo Court of the US legalized gambling a few years ago, since it was a way for the rich to extract more wealth from the working class.

Only 5% of humans are psychopaths, but it’s a spectrum populated by an absurd swath of the population.

How did you make the text so big. Tell me right now.

Laws limiting the height of your fence are debated in the following way.

1. First, the benefits and harms to you and your neighbors are considered.
2. These considerations are weighed against the relative costs to the rest of the community.
3. Rules are agreed upon that take everyone’s interests into account.

This is a moral exercise, because to debate something is to engage in normative deliberation. Indeed, your only mechanism for social appeal is moral: “This is the right thing to do” for some reason, such as justice, fairness, harm reduction, or whatever.

If you pass a law protecting rare valuable books, then you also need to decide which books are protected.

You’re right. Laws are constrained by pragmatism. It turns out, figuring out which books are important is analogous to figuring out which natural habitats should be legally protected from construction, etc. This is fairly easy.

Well, I think Steam deserves a 30% cut of game revenue for doing basically nothing.

EDIT: Why the downvotes? I love Steam! I am one of you! :( I failed the shibboleth.

I notice they didn’t charge him with terrorism and the death penalty.
