@nunya_bustanut@Victorevans2026@Asmongold They don't understand because they don't want to.
Had a guy block me in Era because I pressed need on a blue BoE ring, even though I had no ring ๐

@FolkRiseUK@Aussie_GC_Man Exactly, we all know the statement is false. Just wouldn't put it past the NHS to post such a stupid take.
They've already said cousin marriage is good as it has social and economic benefits, wouldn't put anything past them at this point
@DorotaKot7@Dustyrides4Mike So because people are financially irresponsible and don't repay loans they sign, look after their health, save for parental leave and/or a rainy day, we have to tax it?
Punish the responsible and reward the irresponsible then act surprised when everyone is irresponsible ๐
@DennyRossb@GreenKnightVT@Dustyrides4Mike You think democratic socialism is gonna fix that? Old people in the UK die from the cold because the government made them rely on social programmes, and now they're getting heating fund cuts ๐ sounds good until the money runs out
@Ambre_emeraude We know that all you think about in the end is yourself because you're resentful and selfish. We think about what's good for us and ensure it functions with the people we love around us and then the world. So technically you're correct. We don't start the thought with Utopia
@ambrose_pike@DSoleuf5637@unusual_whales There will always be false accusations, that's why there's an investigation.
You're the one assuming malicious reports will increase by financial incentive. Incorrect reports, I'd agree.
If you know it's false why would a financial reward that you won't receive incentivise you?
@ambrose_pike@DSoleuf5637@unusual_whales If there was a bounty on successful arrests of criminally dangerous people with guns, don't think many people would be against it. I'd be all for that, no one wants to live near a lunatic with a gun. Doesn't mean rounding people up for reports, should be an investigation
@ambrose_pike@DSoleuf5637@unusual_whales What is the alternative you're proposing then?
I stated the current position, which I assumed is what you prefer since you're criticising the change.
@ambrose_pike@DSoleuf5637@unusual_whales So you'd rather lose 100% by not incentivising reports (currently it seems reporting just gets you death threats as a reward), rather than investigate reports and pay out 1% to legitimate reports?
Please explain how that's better
@BjornLomborg So if we ever find out that plants are sentient, we can retroactively disproportionately punish vegetarians and vegans for their larger participation in mass plant genocide? ๐ค
