(You know you could put a lot of people through trade school for the cost of one big military parade, and not have to give up f’ing cancer research)
DragonSidedD@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.world•America is in danger of experiencing an academic brain drainEnglish1·3 days agoDepends on what kinds of new narratives and role models they find to latch on to.

DragonSidedD@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•ICE adopts new tactic: Deport before court, removing people facing criminal charges17·10 days agoThe New Hampshire State Constitution explicitly tries to warn against overpunishment like this. It’s a lot of words but read it man this is good and I wish like hell it applied at the Federal level
[Art.] 18. [Penalties to be Proportioned to Offenses; True Design of Punishment.] All penalties ought to be proportioned to the nature of the offense. No wise Legislature will affix the same punishment to the crimes of theft, forgery, and the like, which they do to those of murder and treason. Where the same undistinguishing severity is exerted against all offenses, the people are led to forget the real distinction in the crimes themselves, and to commit the most flagrant with as little compunction as they do the lightest offenses. For the same reason a multitude of sanguinary laws is both impolitic and unjust. The true design of all punishments being to reform, not to exterminate mankind.
DragonSidedD@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Bomber of California fertility clinic identified, described himself as pro-mortalist - BNO News122·10 days agoSame here. I very nearly posted a $1,000 bet that whoever did this, they had a Sky Daddy, and another $1,000 that said person would directly attribute their belief in said Sky Daddy in why they were motivated to do this in the first place.
Come to think of it, this angry nutter saved me $2,000 today.
I guess the nicest thing I can do in return is point out that I’d happily be taxed more to get more competent social workers and psychologists into schools and normalize getting help especially in earlier years before pathology becomes deeply internalized.

DragonSidedD@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.world•Iran’s leaders slam Trump for ‘disgraceful’ remarks during Middle East tourEnglish21·10 days agoThank you Trump for making me actually read what the idiotic religious zealot mullahs have to say because next to you these clowns actually may have something insightful
I’d echo this. Syncthing is widely used because it Just Works in so many weird situations. So if it is Not Working, swapping out Syncthing might actually make the problem harder to solve.
