because I offered my best take at what might have been going through this person’s head

Empathy…?

So, first you imply everyone should have a drone, as “they’re a 50 dollar toy”. I ask who would be flying it and for what reason, and you refuse to specify, and then go on about how wired drones don’t need to be autonomous and start rambling on about payloads and geopolitical situations.

So you think you can fly a wired drone while you’re driving a car or doing something else and that said wired drone is a “50 dollar toy” despite you clearly describing military hardware?

Go. See. A. Mental. Health. Professional.

“No but you have to understand, All Cops might Be Bastards but they’re could be way worse bastards!”

Wow what a magnificent argument.

How do you feel about ICE arresting people for immigration offenses?

How do you feel about the DEA prosecuting people for cannabis?

Do you not understand that things are clearly immoral should lead to law enforcement refusing to enforce the laws. It doesn’t mean they get to decide which laws to enforce or not, willy nilly, but if someone says “go an arrest every minority out there” they can say ‘that’s unconstitutional and I won’t do it, you can fire me and then I’ll sue you’ or whatever it is you do there.

What you CAN’T do is become law enforcement and then use that authority while being completely arbitrary about laws.

The only reason I’m not a cop is because drugs are illegal (and some other laws but mainly those.)

TL;DR: Harry would be morally upstanding and a loose cannon (assuming he doesn’t mature past 18), therefore a “good” cop

“Loose cannons” are never good as cops. No matter how much you delude yourself they’re completely moral and even if that were 100% true they wouldn’t be good cops. Cops aren’t justice. They’re law enforcement.

Someone applying their own morality all the time instead of laws should never ever be a cop. That’s why ACAB.

a 50$ flying toy?

Drones are a tool of the modern battlefield. A tethered drone does not need to fly autonomously. Of course you can program for autonomy if you have the skills, and the autonomous task for armed resistance is not overly complicated, could be as simple as a straight line path.

Go see a psychiatrist.

If you’re saying you’re not American, it wasn’t obvious from the context.

And nothing I said even remotely implied I am American, yet you just decided to assume that. Why, pray tell?

I would think it were obvious

What did we talk about assumptions? How are we supposed to read your mind about these hare-brained implications you keep throwing out, but refuse to actually specify?

Are you now suggesting eveyone should constantly have a tethered drone with 4k cameras, which operates autonomously btw, and has like a payload of explosives. And this you say can be acquired by anyone with 50 dollars.

And you wonder why people are weirded out?

I got banned for low key implying there’s a genocide going on in Gaza.

Not even stating it.

Just implying it.

“antisemitism, permaban”

That was in 2023 iirc

You may want to figure it out considering where your country is headed.

You don’t read the comments you respond to? Like I said, my country doesn’t have those problems.

There are many ways to get a drone to fly autonomously over a short mission.

Again, simplifying and not specifying who should have one. You think every person everywhere should have a 247 drone buddy filming them?

Show me how an average person can use just 50$ to have a constant 247 4k filming surveillance drone on them. Link a product then.

Your country is not what you think it is.

No, my country isn’t what you think it is, you donkey. Literally. I already told you you’re assuming wrong and you just go right ahead and double down on your mistake. sigh

First, have you ever flown one of those, or do you think you’re getting 247 automated drone overwatch with 50 dollars? How do you think they’re controlled?

Secondly, no, my country doesn’t fucking do that. Maybe assume a bit less.

The reason we’ve evolved to tune out whatever taste water may have, is because we need to be able to detect when there’s shit in it. Literally. But also anything else non-suitable.

Which is why waters taste slightly different as we never drink distilled water really. Not that it’s somehow toxic, but drinking only distilled water when there’s no food and then sweating a lot would dehydrate you eventually.

Hydrophobia is still very much the name of one of the symptoms that rabies has.

As in a doctor might write “patient exhibits hydrophobia, rabies suspected” or something. Although most doctors wouldn’t ever be in a situation like that, but still.

Okay yeah, true. But… I don’t understand who you think should’ve been flying one?

Socrates was wrong guys

Yeah, he was, about a lot. But what specifically do you mean?

Not only is the person you’re responding to an absolute moron, they’re also purposefully engaging in bad faith.

Basic Russian shill which are a dime a dozen on Lemmy

Murder and slavery are common practices in the US.

Not legal for eveyone, but cops can murder people without worry, just like ethnic minorities have to live in fear of being kidnapped/murdered on the street/enslaved.

Oh god I fucking wish I had a phone to call back in time to some debates like 15 years ago when people were saying to me that I worry too much or that I must hate the US because of I criticise it so.

Then five years later Trump becomes president even though he lost the vote and it’s been a downward spiral ever since

Oh damn I didn’t even notice I thought my phone had some dust or thrash on it but yeah theyve censored the i in “died”

You are pathetic.

First off, ACAB.

Secondly, in a lot of stories Batman defeats city-wide or even nation- or global-wide threats. Kinda like Harry. And whatever Batman happens to do, because it’s somehow justified, it ends up being good. Because he’s the hero. Like Harry.

But like the earlier dude said Harry hasn’t even got an understanding of the wider world. He would be much better at being a professor, because it also includes studying instead of just enforcing the rules.

Even if you imagine a perfect cop, he wouldn’t be acting like Harry. Harry constantly breaks some rules or laws. Not what cops should be doing. Yeah you need some of the virtues Harry has but Harry is also inpatient and a large risk-taker. Neither of which are particularly good characteristics in cops except in media. A perfect cop would be someone slightly autistic about the rules and literally doesn’t do whatever they feel like, but defers to the rules.

Which Harry most certainly doesn’t.

Imagine if the magical world was (for this analogy) the US. Some who grew up in another country and hasn’t even lived in the US, just went to a mostly American school, wants to be an American cop? Even when they go through a necessary training (and we know the wizarding world isn’t big on credentials or experience) to become a cop, he’d still have very little understanding of the actual law with just some weeks of training, and wouldn’t have grown up hearing about the constitution of the US let alone all the amendments to it.

Shortly? They were polytheists. Christians weren’t.

"The Paradox of Tolerance, articulated by philosopher Karl Popper, argues that unlimited tolerance leads to the disappearance of tolerance because if a tolerant society tolerates the intolerant, the intolerant will eventually destroy the tolerant, ending tolerance itself. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine.

I know mostly not my own word but should be plenty of explanation my hands are freezing ask more if you feel like it

It’s not specific to a language and most PIE languages and even non-PIE euro languages use a version of “elite.”

English didn’t come up with the word, you know?
