The same place it says it’s for civil forfeiture. This being said the police officer does have a ticket in hand which implies some sort of safety violation.

This comic could be taking place in China. The same scene could play out. Nothing specific to injustice in the USA here.

People should still be punished for driving dangerously. Civil forfeiture is another issue.

Fair. I would say you don’t need most of those. Just try uBO alone. Add others as needed. But realistically you should not have to. All you should have to do is add a block list to uBO.

Fair. I would consider Firefox as well. With uBlock Origin you can use YouTube ad free too. And you help increase web diversity. Win win.

lol. I realized that as I was writing that. But I went with it. Hobbes is a great starting point for people new to political philosophy.

We just don’t need to start with him.

I think John Rawls is a better starting place if we were to start a society from scratch. Just a bit harder for people less used to reading philosophical works.

Long story short:

1. Brave isn’t trying to block ads. They just want to replace ads with their crypto powered system. It’s just that none uses it.
2. The founder is a jerk who is anti LGBT. Not just passively but actively.
3. Brave pushes itself as a chrome alternative. It’s not. It’s just chrome with a fancy skin. If people want to support web diversity Brave does not help.

We don’t need to start from Hobbes to understand that, as a society, punishing dangerous drivers is a good thing.

There is a lot of good reading out there. I recommend this as a starting point when coming to an understanding of violence and society.

Is Lemmy full of sovereign citizens now days? In all countries including China when you drive dangerously you get a ticket.

Brave is a crypto cult. Brave people really really love their crypto bro browser.

Fair. But that’s not really earth scale thinking in my book. It’s more our best understanding based on what we know.

I know of these theoretical work arounds. They’re more mathematical models that say if such a thing as negative mass exists, then we might be able to go faster than the speed of light. Issue is that the model does nothing to show that negative mass exists.

That and everything we know shows that it does not exist. If it did I would be incredibly happy. It’s just wishful hoping at this point though. We don’t even have a model or theory that shows how negative mass could exist. We only have theories that show what could happen if it did exist.

It’s like saying hm we know how F=m*a works. What could happen if we set m to a negative number? Yah in the math we can but that does not mean we can in reality.

It’s more of a “light is the cosmic speed limit” way of thinking. If you feel aliens are visiting earth you do you.

Thus the infinite oceans to sift through. 😉

Huh. That’s crazy. And that’s just one cubic light year.

Now if we multiply that cubic light year to match the volume of space we have a similar comparison. Infinite oceans to sift through for a single molecule.

A drop in the bucket isn’t event close to a good understanding of how big space is. A satellite in the ocean is grossly misleading when it comes to the scope of space.

Maybe a single O2 molecule in the ocean might be closer but even then that’s not even close to the scope of space.

Space is big. So big that the light cone of our “pollution” can’t physically interact with most of it even if we did our best to “pollute” as much as we can and some alien species did their best to find that “pollution”. Space is so big that physics dictate the impossibility of our “pollution” interacting with most of space.

Fun fact this is why the chance of aliens visiting us here on earth is basically 0.

You can’t use earth scale thinking, that’s how big space is.

This all being said we should do our best to not pollute the earth. We should use earth scale thinking when it comes to earth.

Space is big enough that even if we tried to “pollute” it we could not. We would need Von Neumann self replicating probes to even stand a chance. But even then if we are talking intergalactic we wouldn’t register.

They may. But logistically I can’t see it being a problem. Each CPU is like 10mmx10mmx1mm. You could fit a TON in a 1m^3 box.

Not saying Reddit is “grown up”. Just saying Reddit grew up in this regard. In 2008 Reddit was incredibly sexist. Last I used Reddit they were much much better. At least in my experience.

Young Reddit was the same. Hopefully Lemmy grows up like Reddit did (in this regard).

Maybe centrist on economic / foreign policy yah. I do think LW is progressive on social and domestic issues.

Where foreign = outside of the western world.

Idk. Lemmy.world in my book is a generic progressive instance. Marxist-Leninist (.ml) instances on the other hand….
