Imo joy division becoming new order was the right way to handle such tragedy, it's different because Linkin park were a record company manufactured band but he was in from the start and pretty much the only person anyone recognized plus he wrote a lot of the songs.

Otherwise you get record companies selling you tickets to black flag thirty years later who might as well be a cover band, it'll get to the point recognized names are still topping festivals a hundred years after the first original member died of old age. It benefits no one but corporate copyright holders.

It's funny a good open source washing machine with wifi could be amazing, would allow for so much more control by letting you modify programs and view diagnostics but proprietary hardware is never going to let you do the good stuff because the you wouldn't need to buy the more expensive but physically almost identical models.

I have been writing code faster for my open source projects using llm tools, other projects I follow have used it also.

This is more of a 'they gave me a free broom and said I could use it to sweep the floor but I lent it up in the corner and the floors still dirty, they're scammers!'

That's a flat out lie, I use it for code all the time and it's fantastic at writing useful functions if you tell it what you want. It's also fantastic if you ask it to explain code or options for problem solving.

So if an American drinks a beer in a German biergarten or in a park in france they should be charged with violating the open container law?

Also a criminal record can fuck your life in a myriad of ways, if like me you fall in love with someone from another country and you both have weed charges neither country will let you live together even decades later destroying what's probably your only chance at happiness.

These rules are needlessly cruel and absurd.

You're not talking to serious people, their anticop mentality stems from.sensoble thoughts like "corrupt cops are bad' and 'the system is often unfair' but spirals into a dogmatic hero fantasy where they get to kill people they dislike and win every gunfight just like the movies of the old west.

Of course those stories of noble outlaws doing right by the people are fantasy and the reality is a mass of cruelty, rape, theft, murder and violence. They have this idea that they'll be the tough guy with a gun who can live life however they please because they don't have compassion for other humans, not the old, sick, weak, and certainly not women, children, or those the work hard to live a good life.

They think that you're weak for wanting an official body who's job it is to enforce the rules of society because they love to imagine themselves as an untouchable hero that doesn't need rules, also they love the idea of people needing them for safety - a woman being able to live somewhat safely through a system of laws and justice upsets them because they'd love to be the strong man with a gun that women have to keep happy and near if they want protection.

Every anarchist autonomous no cops zone instantly gets a gang that act like cops without any of the hard fought and long studied protections for the people - and bigger areas where law governments collapse get lots of these gangs who all fight each other... thousands of years of shitty history lead to the development of established and regulated police forces - yes they're far from perfect but we need to work on improving them, adding oversight and better training, new systems and organizational structures.

Oh come on just because we hate Trump doesn't mean we should kid ourselves, there's a lot of value to having access to 600k of the easiest to scam rubes on the planet.

Sure, the kkk do the same thing I'm sure.

Statements like yours do nothing but reinforce racism no matter how you secretly mean it in your head.

Yeah it's funny being told by leftwing media darlings that they're so much more in touch with working people than me, I'd love to see that satirical content creator come and live my life with me for a week then see if he still feels smug enough to say that.

It's a wedge issue designed to avoid talking about things that will actually help people, including trans people, to live decent lives. The left loves an excuse to call people bigots, racists, and whatever type of monster means that they can avoid actual meaningful change.

Also a car bumping a wall or even breaking a window doesn't seem like a real problem, feels like this is one of those 'man chokes eating his shoe, shocking statistics show almost all Americans wear dangerous choking hazard shoes!'

Also bollards don't change the situation significantly for the occupants of the car, the only statistic that's actually interesting is how often do people outsidw the car get hurt when it happens - since they're only talking about one tragic incident I'm guessing it's a low number.

So if a car hit your house and the postman gets hurt you'd hold yourself personally responsible and pay all his costs and stuff?
