One of my all-time favorite leftist gotchas is the argument that mass incarceration didn't work because crime hasn't gone down WHEN YOU COUNT THE CRIME THAT'S HAPPENING INSIDE PRISONS
As if every normal human being in the country hasn't been happily accepting that trade-off.

People used to *literally hide inside* when they wanted to use drugs. That's a *huge win* that was a direct result of the drug war.

@sonikudzu boy i sure hope this feature doesnt get exploited by hackers.

am i the only one who thinks “car could unexpectedly shut off while driving based on an automated feature” sounds like something more likely to cause a crash than prevent one
Pubity@pubity
Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027. AI in your car will determine if you're sober and fit to drive, automatically turning off the vehicle if it determines you're a danger on the road.

@wotancore no no you see the superiorest option is to simply let the violent criminals go free, to be sure we dont accidentally incarcerate an innocent. those poor boys dindu nuffin.
English
Opposing the death penalty on the basis that innocent people might be killed and we should instead opt for the clearly preferable option where they are kept caged among violent criminals for life.

a lot of yall dont get that the reason the death penalty is bad is not because the people dont deserve death

@YosarianTwo the failure to enforce the communist control act of 1954

@i486nugget @Nomaleatoirejpg incorrect. the term outside of the brackets is not part of the brackets. thats just multiplication and has the same priority as the division. since the division is earlier in the equation it goes first.
6/2=3
3(3)=9
English
@Nomaleatoirejpg Brackets first. 1+2=3
Multiply the bracket by the outside, so 2(3)=6
6/6=1

@berserker144 its just one of those things like how commies call everyone "bootlickers"

@Txp_RBI_Xctuxl i have this pet theory that if we can somehow make india's infrastructure less safe and more deadly the environmental pressure will force the population to increase in iq over a few generations.
or the population will collapse.

@LemurianDream @AntifaCostanza its sort of adjacent to the humiliation fetish.
you are playing a character and roleplaying the big strong adventurer but they lose and are overcome by rapey monsers oh no!
it is the fetishization of the struggle and the defeat.
English
@AntifaCostanza I still cannot explain the preponderance of "porn when you lose" "female protag" games. But than again, I can't also explain the preponderance of NTR games. It's not like harem games fare worse or anything, so this is an artist choice.

Real rape gamers know that this is how millions of H games out there function.
Wildheartmustang is filling their Pokedex@wildheartthe2nd
Your mileage is going to vary on what you're willing to put up with in a game - The fact that rape is only something that is ever done to you in funger is the game letting you know that you have very little autonomy in this world. *You* cannot use rape to exert power in the game

@ShamashAran tbh i think its more charitable to assume she didnt think anything at all and is just so illiterate that she read it wrong.
god thats depressing.

@RusGarbageHuman maybe if we make the infrastructure even more dangerous the environmental pressure will force them to be less stupid.

@_Zojka @noticer_101 is this why every time i see india manufacturing its in some small batch dirt floor shithole with simple manually controlled machines?
because if they tried to use the actual production scale equipment they'd all be jamming the gears with their corpses inside a week?

@KaiKai2492 damn that sucks. on pc you can just play steam games in offline mode. no big deal. or any other games you have installed.
English
People really saying “just connect to the internet not a big deal” my brother in Christ that’s not the point. God forbid a natural disaster happens or you can’t pay your WiFi bill one month and just can’t play games you PAID for until you reconnect.
It doesn’t matter if you have internet, it’s a matter of principle. You shouldn’t be okay with PS arbitrarily taking away access to games you spent your hard earned money on. The more comfortable you get with this the worse it will get.
We’re frogs in the pot and they’re slowly raising the heat and some of yall aren’t noticing.

When I learned about the existence of "Shy Trump Supporters" during the 2020 U.S. presidential election, I couldn't understand why someone would have to hide the fact that they supported their own country's president.
But now, I understand it perfectly……
The American left is incomparably more vicious and aggressive than the Japanese left.😑
燃えたいゴミ！！@gamu0514
My support for President Trump through my art will never end! As long as he continues to fight, I will keep drawing! I have never drawn him for money from the very beginning, so this fire cannot be extinguished!😁 ＃FightFightFight

@CitizenAmedia just tell them the blue button is lying, the threshold is actually 100%, not 50%.
English
Yes, and... If they used that energy to just remind everybody to push red if they want to live, they would have a much stronger position intellectually and morally.
Like... Okay, you think you have a positive obligation to support and aid other people.
You have a choice:
1) Convince people to abandon rational thought and their own basic self-preservation instincts to push the button that *increases* everyone's total risk of dying... or....
2) Convince the people duped by the question that they've been misled by manipulative wording, and that if they and everyone else push red, the blue consequences are moot to begin with.
Both are going to be a relatively high degree-of-difficulty in terms of persuasion, given that people tend to get stuck in a belief more when they've associated it with their moral identity... and that's really what this question is designed to force.
But option 1 means lying to people by manipulating them into doing something that *isn't* in their best interest, primarily using guilt as a weapon; while option 2 means helping people see reality clearly by encouraging them to take the option that doesn't get them or others killed.
It's actually "Press this button and nobody dies, nothing happens" vs. "If anyone goes near this button, some people die for no reason other than that a few of you touched it", which is.... very stupid.
BeuwenDragon@BeuwenDragon
Blue button pushers are easily manipulated by deceptive wording, selfishly resorting to emotional coercion to manipulate other people into gambling their lives to save them from the consequences of their own choice, all while gaslighting everyone to thinking they are altruistic.
