I think I understand the spirit of your question, but the way you’ve worded it suggests that the law is immutable and/or that lawbreakers are necessarily evildoers. I interpret the question as “without incarceration, what do we do about those who do harm to others”. To that I would answer that we need institutions and programs that provide various types of care, support, and protection to people and that those who cause harm and do not provide restitution to their victims lose access to those institutions and programs. For example, if a child molester’s house burns down, the fire department would not be expected to try and save them. If it was arson then the arsonist might only get fined for creating an environmental hazard and putting adjacent buildings at risk. The lack of a carceral system would make funding available for the above programs and institutions.

If you would not have called Rhodesia or Apartheid South Africa the good guys then you should not consider Israel to be the good guys either.

Honestly having trouble thinking of things I don’t like about Claudia De La Cruz. About Kamala Harris I guess I would say that I like that she’s Jamaican American (even if I don’t like the way she acknowledged it), I think her skin looks nice usually, and she didn’t pick Shapiro as her running mate.

Okay, I thought about it and what I don’t like about about De La Cruz’s campaign is that there’s no explicit support for nuclear power nor the hydrogen economy and they’re not on every state ballot.

Drinking less. I saw an unflattering photo of myself and then decided to cut my alcohol consumption in half. It’s been a couple years and I look and feel a lot better.

No.

Lol wow.

Locking my account helped me cut down my Twitter usage a lot by making it pointless to reply in most cases.

I’m not saying that talent, preference, or experience aren’t real or that people won’t naturally focus their efforts on certain activities. I’m saying that people shouldn’t have to effectively blackmailed into certain activities, whether they align with their preferences or not. I like being a mechanical engineer. I do not like that I have to do it for forty plus hours a week, 49 weeks out of the year. Getting rid of occupations means that I would not be penalized if I decided to cut back on engineering and devote some real time to things that actually matter to me, my family, and my neighbors.

For most people, having an occupation means giving up roughly half of your waking hours, as well as a toll on your body and mind, to the minority class that happens to own the things needed to do this occupation in exchange for wages. These wages are required to buy the necessities for the rest of your life from this same minority class. Getting rid of occupations means ending this relationship so that we no longer have to support the exorbitant lifestyles and cruel whims of this minority class. It means putting us in control of the value we create with our labor and not wasting it on the likes of telemarketing, car dealing, or denying health insurance claims.

All of them. Abolish occupations.

The Emperor’s psychic beacon, of course.

I don’t think age is very relevant. Anyone who files a tax return should be allowed to vote.

If someone doesn’t pay forward a favor of mine, then I just show up at their house.

The trick is to send a link to the photo or video instead of the actual file. This is also how iPhone users can use FaceTime with people on other platforms.

2001 I think. I don’t know if this person actually had to leave for legal reasons, either because he broke a bad law or because he was facing real sex crimes allegations, or because he violated a taboo and was chased out. The rumor, as I heard it, was that he was in the middle of a consensual encounter with a young woman when he decided to try some butt stuff and then authorities got involved somehow. I remember him apologizing to the council and resigning, and I distinctly remember that he omitted the reason for it all, as if we all already knew. The rumor didn’t make it to me until later.

I’m not sure of the specific details, but his guy I knew got kicked out of Israel for sodomy. Somehow our school found out and he was forced to resign from the Student Council President position.

Thank you!

Mechanical engineer here self-hosting my own Lemmy and Pixelfed instances in a Yunohost VM on an old Ubuntu box. It just feels better being my own admin.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that symbol in a username anywhere.

Maybe you can just ask them?
