Like what? Do you have an example?
I don’t really believe that swat is necessary even in theory.
If someone is being held hostage, call in a negotiator. If it’s a bomb, bomb squad. What precisely is the swat team for?

How about the police do, idk, like 5 min of police work to verify literally any part of the story first?

Incorrect. Multiplication and division happen in whichever order they appear left to right. They have the same priority.

Well it’s a good thing we fixed the frequent panics and crashes. That would be dangerous.

Not every mechanism of society needs to be built around fear of punishment. In fact, i would say that none should be in and ideal society. There are numerous ways to not instill fear in people every second of every day. It even would make a healthier society if people didn’t live in perpetual fear of the state.

Could it have been any other way?
- Comment on What would you do? 1 month ago:
I’m not worried about that specifically, although it is headed there in some states. It is just the general degradation in the quality of education and the veracity of the information presented at just about every level that really bums me out.
I agree that it shouldn’t result in anyone coming to your house to force the subject. How to present it and provide a service that people can recognize as a net benefit? Decentralized would probably be good but it cannot be denied, as you said, that apprenticeships and hands on learning are very effective. Yet, they are very difficult to decentralize as they require a lot of equipment at each location.
Virtual reality with haptic feedback would be pretty close, if we can get it to work in an open source meshnet sort of way.

I agree with just about everything you said. Well put and reasoned. But it doesn’t really wrap back around to what should be taught to the children. Do we let them decide everything for themselves or regiment what is necessary to live in our
hellscapesociety?Then you can ask what is necessary to live in this society? Is it comp sci degrees? Everyone thought so. Now they’re basically useless. That has happened to every generation for the last 30 years or so.
Additionally, as a child I was driven to learn because I was genuinely curious despite crushing depression. It has left me grasping to understand how others approach the world, because let me tell you, it is not how I do so. I would need to look at some good data about how students/adults learn generally, which I have not done much of admittedly.

- Comment on What would you do? 1 month ago:
I mean I like your ideas but that doesn’t really address the “how” of educating. As in how are those materials presented to people?
How do we ensure that children are actually being educated and not just glazing their eyes over as the info flows past? How do we ensure that that education is not just “God did it, now shit up.” How do we get people to be interested in learning and not just stop the second someone isn’t pointing a gun at their head?
- Comment on What would you do? 1 month ago:
From reading some of the comments here, it seems that some people think learning is a net negative or neutral for whoever is doing the learning and that one should learn as little as possible.
They seem to think that because they don’t literally write down the equation of “x²+6” that they never use it in their lives and so it is pointless to learn.
There are also people who seem to think that basing your education off of what could help you not being taken advantage of, or misunderstanding the world around you, is silly and you should only follow what is in your heart. Learning what interests you and nothing else.
I don’t understand either of you, idiots.
Debate me, I guess.

LITERALLY the only good thing I could point to in the United States. There nothing else of value either within the society or government.
Good job everyone.

What a group of incredibly disgusting wankers.

Well I also seriously doubt they would nationalize anything.

Nationalize it. The public now owns it and it pays for utilities for the public.

You do not need to replace your entire diet with home grown produce. Supplement the food you buy from the store with whatever you can grow in the small area you have. You can get a surprisingly good haul from 25ft².

Plant the 3 sisters (beans, corn, squash/pumpkin) together in a small area to maximize shelf stable production. You will need to do a small amount of research on planting times but the times are fast approaching.

- Comment on When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov 3 months ago:
I normally agree with you about guilt by association, but these people are currently an IMMINENT threat to every living thing on the planet. I am truly ok with a small amount of collateral damage to excise the cancer before it STRANGLES US TO DEATH. They control everything. Every mechanism of power or change. We cannot allow them the very obvious influence over the extensive investigation that their position afford. We need to purge our power structures of this before anything else can be done about it.
- Comment on When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov 3 months ago:
Here’s the cool thing, I don’t give a single fuck why you were communicating with the guy. If you had a relationship with him, you get thrown in the wood chipper. After every single person is thrown in, we can sort through the pile of viscera and determine guilt.
We CANNOT allow these people to remain in the position of power they are in for the duration of the obviously EXTENSIVE investigation that is needed.
