Back in the days of windows xp and Alcohol 120% it didn’t. I remember having like 12 virtual disk drives each with an independent iso just to avoid swapping disks.

And that stuff is terrible. But I think it’s caused by systematic racism. (aka what we should actually worry about)

Like the comic empathizes the wrong thing. It reduces valid concerns with police to the level of sovereign citizens.

I don’t think so. I mean cops can be jerks but they’re really not dumb enough to just risk their jobs for $40 USD out of someone’s wallet. Let alone build a culture out of this.

Civil forfeiture of greater than $1000 USD where that stuff gets documented and people have the prove the “innocence” of that money on the other had is another issue.

Cops stopping people for cash just feels like a childish characterization. There are enough real problems with police to address (ie systematic racism and nepotism) no need to work with characterizations.

Are you saying this ironically? Everyone I don’t like should be banned and should die? This seems really authoritarian to me.

If I was driving dangerously it would only be just that I be punished proportionately. Same goes for everyone in every country.

If you call that boot licking so be it.

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.
