Right. People who only intermittently engage in such behaviors should be treated differently than people who consistently engage in them.

There is an upside: oppressing people who consistently engage in antisocial behavior is good and necessary.

Imperfect enforcement is a feature as often as it is a bug. You can't make "antisocial behavior" in general illegal but you can make certain behaviors (loitering, public intoxication) illegal and selectively enforce against only those who are behaving in an antisocial manner. Of course the other edge of this sword is using this discretion to blanket discriminate against racial or class groups.

It's not that surprising. Ask the average Jordinian about their opinion of Palestinians some time. Ask an Egyptian or a Syrian if they think their countries should take in Palestinian refugees. The regional Muslim Arabs all hate them too.

People with historical trauma are far more likely to inflict further wrongs than people without historical trauma. This is the case for individual trauma too. It has always been this way.

Typical Eurocrat meddling in people's affairs. The owners of those items should be free to do whatever they want. If the government is concerend about environmental damage, they should raise landfill fees or tax carbon, not limit what firms are allowed to do with their own things.

That's a matter of opinion. The US has its faults, but overall it's quite easy to have a very high quality of life here, and to live a huge variety of different lifestyles if that suits you.

NJ and CA. You can't make guns at all in NJ, and you need a firearm permit to buy an airgun or bb gun.

A lot of Iranians would probably love for us to send weapons. There are videos of Iranians celebrating the bombings of IRGC bases during the 12-day war.

Ukraine didn't attack Russia. Hamas attacked Israel.

There is a market for luxury electric pick-ups, and it's dominated by Rivian.

Making it look too much like a regular F-150 was a mistake. You need the vehicle to look distinctive enough for it to market itself.

Yep. If eviction rules aren't loosened, these SROs will only be rented to people with >700 credit scores just like normal apartments. The people who need them most still won't get them.

This makes no sense. Putting the AI issue aside, do Microsoft employees not get annoyed by file explorer frequently hanging or crashing?

There are many successful co-ops all over the world, including in the US. You just don't hear about them because they don't look much different from corporations from the perspective of the average person.

Unions often end up decreasing productivity due to added bureaucracy, leading to ultimately worse compensation in the long run.

We definitely cannot build a self sustaining civilization on the moon.
