That's just utilitarianism taken to its logical conclusion, is it not? Don't hate the player, hate the game lol.

And I agree that all of those interventions are preferable to capital punishment for juveniles. But in extreme cases where they are too far gone and are going to grow up to become killers, surely there is more we can do? Cos atm, we just let that happen and innocent people die.

No, of course we shouldn't put them all down. But extreme cases like this ought to be considered carefully, and if the risk is high, we should remove these individuals from society.

To your second point, this child already almost killed someone and then bragged about it, showing no remorse. There is a very good chance he will grow up to try and commit murder again; he's too far gone. That's where the utility maximisation comes in.

And re: your point about there being a great deal of legal, ethical, and emotional complications for this kind of policy intervention, I completely agree. Good thing we're just talking shit on Lemmy, right? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Fuck Zoom. It was always a piece of shit software that was never all that secure to begin with. I hope they go out of business soon.

I know. What a shame.

Yeah, that's also true for a lot of different multiplayer games. Good thing I play mostly single player tbh.

Shiiiiet. That's a very good point. Capcom can go fuck themselves haha.

Lmao. Maybe we should drop copies of Oppenheimer on USBs over Pyongyang. Remind them that the rest of the world can nuke them back to the stone age if they actually declared war on anyone.

Of course he stopped listening to them; they swore an oath to serve the office of the President, not Trump himself lmao

This is the way. I mean, it still refers to 'tweets' as 'tweets' in the fucking app. What a fucking joke. Elon Musk is such a fucking piece of shit. I hope Zuckerburg beats the shit out of him.
