The EU plans to do so and as such every member must follow it.

And once encryption is criminalized, it can be trivially detected - or at least assumed to be encrypted if your message is sufficiently random.

Weird, for me the indentation renders correctly. Maybe because I used Jerboa and single ticks instead of triple ticks?

It’s impossible to have a 0% false positive rate, it will never be ready and innocent people will always be affected. The only way to have a 0% false positive rate is with the following algorithm:

def is_shoplifter(face_scan):
return False

You see, there is exactly one person working for newspapers who is in charge of writing articles.

Whenever they write something criticizing something I am obsessed with, it’s the only article posted on a given day and meant to distract the sheeple from some other horrific thing going on at the same time. That’s not whataboutism, it’s different because I’m doing it.

We also know building nuclear takes 20 years and costs more than building thrice the capacity in renewables + Germany has no long-term nuclear storage, only temporary one’s a la Simpsons.

I’m sure people who accept the realistic risk of drowning - most cannot swim - will be discouraged by the threat of… being in a prison with better living conditions than their home?

But then parliament isn’t all powerful, is it? See the omnipotence paradox:

A similar problem occurs when accessing legislative or parliamentary sovereignty, which holds a specific legal institution to be omnipotent in legal power, and in particular such an institution’s ability to regulate itself.

And tbh, a parliament which cannot regulate itself is a fairly powerless parliament.

Do you think the people who fear migration care the slightest bit about anyone but themselves?

An awful number of them would support attacking rafts filled with refugees with military warships.

Can’t they create a law which says that the PM cannot do something without 80% of the votes and that the law itself requires the same amount of votes to be modified or superseded in any way?

Do Italian professors know their students’ names? Over here, two countries to the North, no professor knows anything about their students.

We can keep them indefinitely then, right? If they’re not doing anything there is no need to ever revoke them.

A prison sentence doesn’t make sense in these cases, since there is no risk of repeat offenses and therefore no rehabilitation required.

Just give them a 4 digit large fine and maybe deport them, unless you have a non-functioning justice system focused on cruelty, then give them a significant prison sentence.

However, people often sing the first one

Correction: Nazis - and only nazis - often sing the first one.

You withdraw cash at an ATM but the software has faulty code which causes your balance to remain the same after withdrawing any amount.

You notice this and then empty the entire ATM this way, making $200,000. I’m sure once you explain to the jury that the ATM just gave you a bad contract, they will acquit you.

You will change the Democrat-Republican duopoly as soon as you convince everyone to stop participating in consumerism (beyond one’s basic needs).

Which is to say: never.

The last time neither a Republican nor a Democrat was President was more than a century ago. Good luck changing the people’s habits as well as the monumental support structures both parties have erected to prevent any third party from gaining traction, ranging from super PACs to literally the entire American news network, including social media.

Placebos work even when you knows it’s a placebo though. Pointing out something is a placebo is important because many are at best overpriced scams (homeopathy) and at worst actively harmful (chiropracty). The culture behind many placebos is also rife with pseudoscience and advocates against seeking out genuine care, so you should ensure nobody gets invested into placebos past a certain point.

One can make an informed decision regarding taking placebos if and only if one knows it’s a placebo, else one will be scammed and/or harmed.

Besides, what would a union even be for? Since the company is owned by the workers (because it is owned by the state) any union action would just harm the workers themselves! We don’t want to encourage economic self-harm, do we?
