It’s not 2014 anymore

And engineers who stood to make a lot of money

This is just being poor

Yea I don’t disagree thats the case with most people, but some will try to twist it no matter what you said, to conform to their current world view.

And you’ll be called an incel when you point out the double standard

You understand this policy as of now is only targeting Harvard. The article is about Harvard, don’t pre-cope imo

If you’re coming from Reddit, 100%. Its also gotten better from when lemmy initially started popping off, there were many who were quick to personally attack others.

think protesting is great but not on El capitan in Yosemite. That’s just plain white people behaviour. It’s not just a rock, it’s an incredibly sacred place that has a great significance in human history and it transcends religions

That’s totally fair. I didn’t here anything about it so didn’t know the situation at all. Yea that can be kinda disrespectful.

I know the demographic here doesn’t actually go outside or have a love for the mountains so I knew it would be a losing battle but damn man there’s just no fucking respect for nature anymore

XD yea fair. My philosophy is very much human supremacist. Maybe some animals. But I don’t really care about nature other than it its useful and valued by people. But its also fair to have a different position.

I have massive problems with prisons and by extension policing. I think prisons are the some of the most cruel institutions on Earth. But I am kind of disappointed that that community isn’t really proposing anything it feels like. Prisons are cruel and need reform, you don’t need to convince me there. The problem is I do think there is a legitimate need for something to protect people, and to separate people who are a serious risk to others.

They say:

creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment.

But what?

One idea I think, that is a small reform but I think would actually be very valuable in increasing prisoners quality of life: increased internet access. I think the isolation, and the feeling of being trapped within the prison culture, is very harmful. It would also be easier to bring abuse to public attention.

I’m sorry about that you got attacked. Also I’m not trying to restart it, and not trying to attack. I am genuinely curious what’s disrespectful

Totally agree. But I think depending on the type of speeding you do can make you a bad person.

How many of you have criminals as friends? None. You know why? Because they’ll lie and steal from you just as fast as anyone else - that’s why.

I know you’re making a political point, but tbh, I thought Lemmy would have a better take on criminal justice

To be fair, if you saw the movie, he was definitely ready to pull that trigger within the next milliseconds. But yeah shouldn’t be pointing in the air without any trigger discipline

Somewhat yeah, but I think there are a few others, just mostly not people who are that vocal about it

not one

Yeah, it was also clearly political before, like Ukraine’s win tbh

I care about the working class kid that isn’t gonna graduate.

There’s a near zero amount of working class kids studying abroad at Harvard

You’re definitely earning more than me, but I’m also a freelancer. So much of at least Czech and Polish tax code is set up to make it far more expensive to run a small business or be self employed, than to work for a company

You definitely have. Whenever people meet me they feel the need to tell me which American politicians they support for some reason. And a non-zero percent of them in essentially every country like Trump. And of Chinese people I’ve met it’s 100% for some reason lol

Yea it’s my favorite type of pizza
