A scary possibility indeed!

He’s just this guy who has a big chance of being a murderer. He is capable of deliberately planning to kill a person outside of immediate self-defence. However evil CEO A or B may be, the moral calculus isn’t hard: society as a whole comes first. Unless we’re sure he is innocent, it’s not clear he’s someone who can be left free safely. He’s a flight risk for starters.

Police parade him and his manifesto so that they have an excuse to hold him, they look competent, and they get to keep him behind bars until we know for sure one way or another, or until they can’t hold him any longer. In which case we may never know for sure until the statue of limitations had passed and if he wants to confess.

Terrorism is supposed to be the dogmatic or ideologically motivated killing of civilians, often by those who are willing to die in the process. It’s terror inducing because it could seemingly happen anywhere at any time to any one, and it’s a lot easier to cause harm to others when you’re suicidal and not trying to get away with it.

Of course, that’s not how it’s routinely used, or perhaps was ever really used by anyone except academics.

In fairness if you’re a total technology troglodyte they can supply basic answers. But the moment there’s a real glitch for which actual programmers are needed…

Good luck!

Okay, but I’m talking about violent coups really. Not just not-so-peaceful protests.

Even so, it seems violence didn’t help the Union movement all that much either. I’m no expert though of course.

A few weeks to months following the rebellion. Maybe a year at most.

It’s different if the rebellion does not itself topple the structures of government. I’m talking about violent coups specifically I suppose, not a bit of violent protesting that motivates an existing government to act.

It really isn’t though. It’s always two steps forward three steps back. Anything good that arises out of the destruction, always comes at an immense cost, and usually corrupts the revolutionary leaders who made it happen.

Is there any violent revolution in history for which genuine peace followed in the immediate aftermath?

I think violence is often necessary. But I wouldn’t say it’s ever the right answer.

Clearly not, but what’s your point? Biden is president. Not saying it’s right. But I think it’s what any parent would do. Hunter isn’t some moral monster. He’s just messed up more than anything, in the way a kid in his situation might.

Not justifying it, but executive power is insane. Trump will break the law far more destructively with respect to Hunter then this pardon, or at least that’s the fear I imagine Biden has.

Sure, your feelings are valid. Just explaining his actions, not justifying them.

You should see New Zealand.

Do you think Hunter Biden is safe in the US justice system with Trump in charge?

Centaur World is incredible. Best kids show I’ve seen as an adult. They need your viewership to make more crazy stuff.

Coffee?

Not yet, but he’s already eyeing a role in government. Wouldn’t surprise me if he eventually manipulated Trump into creating a special class of immigrant citizens who receive naturalization because of “service to the nation” granted by the president or some such.

I guess it’s not the Ciabatta I know. Light on the inside, crispy on the outside.

The light crispy stuff though. It’s still common in NZ. Love it.

When did Ciabatta buns go out of vogue?

There is still shit to block when you’re paying for premium, so yeah.

If I recall Coyote Peterson’s crew ate some… yep, haha. They definitely thought some of the essence of dung carried over to the final product.

I used Boost when it was for Reddit, and never looked back. It’s got everything I could need so yeah. All that for Lemmy is amazing.
