Oh is that what this is all about...
Too bad there's no way in hell I'm buying another iphone. The one I have is trash, it's useful for 3 things:
* Takes good photos
* Battery lasts a long time
* Testing software on iOS
Other than that, I can't see how anyone willingly uses one. I'm about to pull the SIM and put it in a 150€ 32 bit android.. yeah really

Counting "cases" instead of deaths.
I really wonder if JeffCliff is an LLM bot.

It's basically an intractable problem: If you have anything that is worth stealing, people will use any method they can to steal it.
If you fully decentralize all power as much as possible, they will simply march an army in and grab it - because you can't raise enough power to oppose them.
If you unite to "provide for the common defense" then they will parasitize that system which you have constructed.
In this domain, "no system is safe" is a harsh reality.

And the king says you can't have a gun lol
-
Ehh, you've got monarchies and bullshit monarchies, just like you've got republics and dEmOCrAciEs.
Whether a country is a shithole seems almost orthogonal to how the government functions.
However, every British colony is a complete wreck.

Another one I heard: Heaven is:
An American paycheck, a
British home,
Chinese food, and an
Australian wife.
Hell is:

Australia is a very male dominated culture, originally it was like 2/3s men, so if I'm not mistaken, Australian women are known for being more "bro-like", someone might correct me though, I'm not entirely sure.
British home is known for being a nice quaint little place with a yard and so on, Australian home = spiders and snakes and everything wants to kill you.

Like 20 or so years ago they held a vote to become an independent republic and instead they voted for the king. Not everyone can be saved.
-
The fundamental problem with democracy is that, like any sovereign system, it can vote to dismantle itself.
The lure of state level power will always attract bad actors like flies to shit. And they will use every form of deception to try to convince the voters to give the power of the state apparatus to them.

My first reaction: They're a R*dditer, duh...
Second reaction: They don't write like they're illiterate, maybe it was a freak thing and they bombed the test but they Trust The Science so much that now they think they're drooling out the side of their mouth because a paper says so.
-
So many angles.
-
How to say in 1 word that you haven't the slightest clue about elephants.

He's right. No law should ever grant special status (positive OR negative) to any sub-group. That is fundamentally counter to the principle of equal protection.

Another one from Kulak: https://twitter.com/FromKulak/status/1700268656666497320
Government schools have complete and total control over the bodies of children.
Children are forced to sit in an awkward and unnatural position for 6 hours of the day, and reprimanded for so much as fidgeting without permission.
This is entirely unnatural for a young body and it constitutes TOTAL CONTROL.
How can such a regimented authoritarian system of control yield young adults who are obese.
If the state school controls kids down to their last movement and yet when they come out 12 years later, their bodies are damaged - THEY HAVE NO EXCUSE.
If this is what school does to their bodies, imagine what it can do to their minds!
-
The point is that school has total control over kids for the MAJORITY of their waking life, if they come out in any way weak / harmed, that's entirely on the school.
In the context of total authoritarian control over the course of 10 years, you CAN make someone into an athlete, and it's not even complicated.
-
Italy, where the government officials do whatever they wants, law be damned, and ordinary people have absolutely no resource whatsoever.
This is for all of you guys who keep saying "if we only had an ethnically homogenous country". The government of Italy is 100% Italian, homogeneity is not a silver bullet.

The idea of a credit rating as personal insurance is an interesting one.
It's unfortunate that all of these things are so wildly co-opted and broken that if you even mention the topic, people think immediately about the half-dozen banks that rule everything. But if insurance and credit could be done in a decentralized way then this would be a big deal.
-
Passports are theoretically something like that, though you can't really make a claim against the issuing country...
-
I think there's a lot that can be done with private cities - where the city is a corporation and the shareholders are the landowners.
-
Another idea along a similar thread is a city where you cannot enter without insurance. So if you want to live there you need behavior insurance, if you commit a crime they bill your insurance company, and your insurance goes up. If you can't afford to pay your insurance anymore, you have to leave the city.
