The death penalty, because that shit is barbaric.
So basically 1 in 20 inmates on death row are innocent, and people (mostly conservatives) are A-OK with that percentage of innocent people being subject to state-sanctioned murder in a very brutal way that’s far from painless. A dog being put down by a vet receives more humane treatment than a human being put down by the state.
That “at least 4%” bit makes that even worse. Just look at the List of miscarriage of justice cases on Wikipedia, it’s not not exhaustive and it’s huge, I cannot morally or ethically justify capital punishment on that alone, the whole state-sanctioned murder bit just makes it even more horrific.
From the wiki:
Due to the high number of notable wrongful conviction cases compiled for the United States, the list can be viewed via the main article.
I fucking hate this country.
So everyone that punishes someone with death will receive the death penalty?
Of course, you will have to punish the person that punishes the person that punishes someone with the death penalty with the death penalty with the death penalty
But then, because they punished someone that punished someone that punished someone that punished someone with death with death with death with death, they will have to be killed
Eventually, you will run out of people who can punish someone with the death penalty, so you will have to do it. Since you killed someone as a punishment, someone will also have to kill you, but because you are the only person that can do that, you will have to do it, ending the loop
Sounds like the solution for every human problem. I’m on board.
But, hear me out: people using commas where they should use periods. Can we kill those people as a darwin exception?
Ok heres mine: People who complain about writing and grammar when they can understand what the other person is trying to say
Double death to them. If you can correct someone, then you clearly were able to understand perfectly in the first place.
- All software that is to be used on the public should be Free and Open Sourced in a GPL style license.
- No death penalty
above two violations are punishable by death!
When someone is inevitably executed for proprietary software, are you put to death for making that rule? Or does the executioner get executed (creating a feedback loop of executioners who must die)?
Does the barber who shaves everyone in town that doesn’t shave themselves shave himself?
one was serious, one was a joke, i dunno why i put it that way.
All software that is to be used [in] the public should be Free and [Open-Source]
Add in a GPL viral license so that anything funded by the Public is open-source. And so it anything it makes. And so is anything that makes, etc.
- ISO date and time.
- Metric system.
- USB-C.
- Git.
- ConventionalCommits.
- Semantic versioning.
- XDG Base Directory.
- OpenDocument.
- HDR10+.
Also, I would enforce every online shop, transport company, hotels… All of these functioning under a federated market, sort of like the fediverse. Impossible to corrupt. Impossible to monopolize. True choice.
Impossible to corrupt. Impossible to monopolize
You would be surprised.
Semantic versioning.
Most of the time. I use calendar versioning (calver) for my internal application releases because I work in IT. When the release happens is more consequential than breaking changes. And because it’s IT, changes that break something somewhere are incredibly frequent, so we would constantly be releasing “major” versions that aren’t really major versions at all.
OpenDocument.
Agreed compared to .doc and .docx. And if you’re going to version control it, markdown instead of a binary blob.
For academic documents in STEM fields, I’d love to see a transition from LaTeX to Typst. Much cleaner, better error handling, and it has a web UI if people don’t want to install a massive runtime on their own computer.
Yeah, Typist is great and has potential for much more still! The big issue is something like the network effect, LaTeX has everything you could possibly want, pretty much, and people will continue to primarily support it because it’s the biggest tool. It will be hard to break that cycle, but in the long run it may be possible.
Git
I understand the de facto standard situation, but I’d rather have Fossil as default as long as it’s suitable.
XDG Base Directory.
Defined by an env variable? How asinine!
If all punishment is capital punishment, then I’d keep it as laissez-faire as possible.
Except for “no parking in the bike lane”. That one’s worth.
That one’s worth.
You a word.
Alright, “That one is worth.”
Recipes in concrete metric units, preferably mass instead of volume. Recipes come together incredibly quickly when measuring out ingredients can just be dump-tare-dump-tare-dump instead of trying to get sticky ingredients like tahini out of a measuring cup.
More torx screws. There are apparently some uses for phillips, but torx are criminally underused.
That’s a good one. I feel like either torx or square drives should be chosen and all consumer facing screws should be one of, say, 10 sizes.
And you can apply for a permit to use other sizes, but even that is gonna cost you like a couple days in jail.
I would add that all recipes must use the common professional standard format with ingredients and their amount at the top, preferably alongside the required equipment followed by the estimated prep time and cook time followed by the consecutive step-by-step listed instructions.
My brother was getting one of meal subscriptions akin to Blue Apron and there was never any rhyme or reason to the format, content, or layout of the included recipe instructions. -An egregious oversight.
I also have heard that when torx heads become stripped they turn into hex heads. I’ve never investigated this claim, though.
Education.
“We regret to inform you little Timmy didn’t pass his final secondary-school exam because he couldn’t count back change from a transaction. We will send his ashes as soon as they’re ready.”
No legislation with religious fundaments.
Anyone, regardless of status, race, wealth, sexuality, religion, etc. that violates anyone’s fundamental human rights would be put to death. Period. Tolerance of intolerance breeds intolerance.
I would want some clearly marked boundaries then, because I would consider unpaid labor a human rights violation but I wouldn’t want my old boss executed just because I clocked out and then picked up some trash on my way out the door.
Camping in the fast lane and/or driving with your brights on.
If you report anything not factual on the “news” or anything where you have an audience. I’m really tired of that bullshit.
The outlawing of supreme leaders.
Socialism and planned economy, ban on private enterprises
Not only does it aim to stop neverending inequality shift and enshittification, it also helps to save Earth by putting an end to overproduction and bullshit consumerism
No motivation to do better leads to stagnating tech evolution. If you remove private business you stagnate
We might fancy a little stagnation if you look around
Depends of the sector i guess
There is motivation to do better - inventors are praised and financially rewarded, and those who successfully apply new tech are too.
Sure, an inventor won’t turn billionaire, but he also won’t run a risk of losing it all trying to apply said invention. Market actually scares many off, it’s not simply a land of opportunities.
Crocs. Fuck your ugly, very gross-looking wannabe sandal. And why the fuck do they always look like you just pulled them from a landfill, and marinated them in toxic waste?
A relaxing cat shall not be disturbed
I would outlaw starting work before 12pm. I’m 30 and I still absolutely hate mornings just as much as I did when I was 10. I’m naturally a night person but working graveyards has more problems than dealing with early mornings IMO. Let all the morning people feel the pain of having to be productive during your least productive hours for a change.
you sick bastard
Hypocrisy. If one berates people for doing x, when you do it you’re doubly guilty. You might still be guilty for other reasons, but if you publicly scorn other people doing it you’ll get a bonus penalty.
Killed, reanimated, killed again?
