You know how 0.9999999999999999999999999~ = 1?
It’s like that. A rounding error at best. So yes, in reality, nothing.
If all you’re doing is bitching about it on the internet, then you are doing nothing and then acting virtuous about doing nothing.
YAY you have warm fuzzy thoughts and feelings! Congratulations you’re a “good person”!
Are you attempting anything? Because bitching about it on the internet isn’t far from doing nothing. What have you done in your life to change the US prison system? I’d love to hear it.
if incareration can be made more ethical than is currently the case in the USA
You go ahead and get right on that. Let me know how that goes.
Therefore, off topic.
Norway is an exception to the rule. Not a generalized example. Calling out an edge case, doesn’t change all of the generalized cases.
Congratulations, you’re not on topic then.
That actually happens btw. There are homeless that will commit crimes, so they get arrested, so that they have a couple of free nights of not freezing to death in the cold.
I haven’t incentivized crime, but yes our current institutions do so.
This clearly says US Institutions.
I’m on a path to homelessness and a premature death due to institutionalized neglect and abuse from US institutions.
This person wouldn’t be posting here if they were from Norway.
Pretending that people get rehabilitated in prison, LOLOL
That’s some LARP level imagination you got there.
We’ve decided morally, that killing is wrong. So if killing is wrong, but we have to keep killers out of society, then we’ve got to put them in a place away from society. Somewhere along the way, we decided that killing isn’t the only thing that requires you be separated from society.
You haven’t committed a crime, therefore are free to succeed or fail at life all on your own. Society hasn’t judged you, therefore society hasn’t seen the need to take care of you either.
Nothing worse to people on Lemmy than another person with a SLIGHTLY different world view.
Headlights are a totally different beast. This is a tail light, on the rear hatch. I haven’t really had a car yet where the tail lights were difficult to get to.
Too long to find an actual reasonable reply in this thread.
Likely cracked in collision, they probably didn’t see the damage to it, likely didn’t replace it. Buy the piece and replace it if it’s that big of a deal. These pieces are all bolted on from the inside, after taking a few bolts out. This piece can be had as an “Inner Tail Light”, for $70, and replaced in 10 minutes with a small set of hand tools.
It’s already easily accessible in this car because you’ve gotta be able to replace the bulb, so it’s likely as simple as opening a hatch or door panel type thing behind it.
So it sounds like, we need a push for someone to set up a system that makes that easier to do; like Let’s Encrypt! did for SSL certs.
Lots of Lemmy is reactionary. I mean, they’re on lemmy, so they’re generally going to be the quickest to jump ship on anything. I don’t think his takes are bad either tbh - They’ve still proven themselves to be quite reliable.
no email is ever safe from being read either by the sending server or the receiving one
Which is why you should learn to set up PGP
My wifes name is a little…‘exotic’, and she’s accidentally had it mistaken for a stripper name before XD
Would it be morally right to kill hitler?
Some people think morally, any murder is wrong.
Other people think morally, not murdering him would be wrong.
So - no - there are plenty of shades of grey in morality. Many times, what is moral, is taught from our communities as we grow up.
You should read your own link. Nowhere in there does it list “bitching about something in a dark corner of the internet on a private forum”
All of the examples listed – kinda require you getting out of your chair and you know doing something.
But you haven’t, and won’t. And instead of admitting that, you’re going to argue what the definition of “doing something” means. You’re not stupid. You know you haven’t ever done anything, you know that nothing in your life has contributed at all to the subject matter at hand.
But also I know you haven’t done anything either, and that calls into question your virtues, and that ruffles your feathers.
It’s not enough to just have “good thoughts”. I at least realize that the herculean effort required to achieve such change is beyond the average persons capabilities or even desires. That doesn’t make me a bad person, just someone who understands the reality of the situation at hand.
