Good, we should have done this 20 years ago.

Person A: The Police and prisons should be abolished.

This isn’t a “point” it’s just an empty statement devoid of any reason or logic.

Person B: “If you’re making wild suggestions, you should probably care about the effects it will have”

This is a person making an implication. They never define what ‘the effects’ are, they simply hanging an implication.

It’s pretty damned obvious what will happen if you abolish all enforcement of the law, people will engage in more crime because there will be little to no consequences for said crime. This is basic reasoning that doesn’t require fantastical leaps of the imagination to figure out like Person A’s statement does. We can use history as our guide for this as this has happened numerous times in places where the government has collapsed. Places like Somolia where roving gangs controlled local territories with lots of blood and violence. What historical reference can you give where all laws were abolished and something good happened?

This is a shitty conversational tactic where the person never has to take a position that can be argued against but can appear, to the ignorant, as if they are actually saying something cynical and intelligent.

This sound like a description of Person A’s statement to me.

I love how you can write a book length comment on all the reasons why it’s wrong to argue against you and the OP but have yet to give a single actual argument for why your position makes any sense or will improve anything for anyone but criminals. You can’t even describe basic concepts like how any of this would work. Even OP stated “I don’t care what happens next” meaning they’ve given their “point” zero thought or consideration. You two are absolutely ridiculous.

Not a big shocker as our Democratic leaders did everything in their power to make M110 a failure and never distributed any of the funds to implement it while working with police to ensure that addiction became as visible and problematic as possible by refusing to enforce the laws against public drug use. Now they overturned the will of the people and are funneling all those hundreds of millions to police.

This is no different than all those red states who legalized marijuana and abortion and had their Republican leaders refuse to implement those laws. They’re two sides of the same coin. Both parties are working against the public’s interest.

If you work in Oregon, you’re paying Oregon income tax. The hack is to live and work in Vancouver while doing all your shopping in Oregon.

Why should this person need to use their imagination to legitimize someone else’s argument, especially one so absurd? OP should make their own argument.

Yes especially when Project 2025 also wants to reclassify what counts as overtime hours to make it unachievable for most.

Furthermore, I don’t see the point in Fakespot since Amazon bends over backwards to accept returns for any reason.

Why go through that hassle if you can avoid it in the first place?

This my favorite comment on the Citadel.

You were voting for fascism with either one of these candidates. The Dems lost because they’re just watered down MAGA at this point, which appeals to no one. They ran yet another shit campaign with a shitty candidate and got Trump elected again, almost as if that was their intent all along, but maybe it’s because Harris didn’t parade around with the Cheneys enough.

You can’t even make a defense for the Dems here other than “they’re not Republicans,” so maybe you should point that anger toward the very people running the party and making the decisions that make them less appealing than an elderly reality TV host and not at the people who are sick of their shit.

Because tenants pay for their own electricity so there’s no direct incentive for the owners to install solar in order to reduce a bill that someone else pays.

Owned apartments are just referred to as condos and presumably the condo owner owns the balcony while the “HOA/COA” owns the building.

Or the fact that most people with balconies live in rented apartments and apartment managers aren’t going to pay to subsidize an electric bill that tenants are entirely responsible for paying.

Bud, you don’t even own a camera.

What about all the hundreds of billions of plant-based lifeforms enslaved on factory farms every year before being culled? Why aren’t you concerned about them too?

As if you really care about what position the US is in. You just want to win elections and dont give a shit what happens after. This post is about a guy snatched up off the street and sent to a foreign gulag, yet you haven’t uttered a single statement in support of this guy and instead derailed the entire discussion toward your team-sport politics and how upset you are that your team wasn’t the winning team, how it’s everyone else’s fault the team didn’t win, how people are stupid for not supporting your team, etc. That’s all you care about.

Because they’re bending over backward to “white knight” for the Dems and shield them from any criticism here in the comments. They’re no different than the MAGA sycophants.

It seems like the American car companies know full well they already lost their good opportunity to make quality affordable electric vehicles. We may not have allowed the foreign competition in yet

There are only 3 US automakers (GM, Ford, Tesla) and one of them is 100% electric. The entire rest of the market is foreign competition.

That would just affect California, though, while their emissions standards can affect the entire US market like they do now. Similar to how Texas dictates what goes into all of our textbooks.

Also MergerFS like mentioned above, SnapRAID, OMV, Unraid, TrueNAS, or just plain ZFS. Something to create a pool of drives will be your best bet. These all do it while some are full OSes or hypervisors and others are things you can implement in your current OS. What are you currently using for your OS?

Yeah it’s the PETA approach of “let’s protect these animals by euthanizing them so they can’t later be harmed.”
