I've never seen tankies and libs ever so united in celebration.
We talk about being able to stop paying things as a service in it's own right lol.
All I know is these things are delicious.
The white ones are generally consumed in a dessert soup thing and the black ones are stir fried and served in like hot and sour soup.
Why argue in bad faith? Whether or not I spend every waking moment of my life preventing child abuse, I would still do more than god has when it comes to a ratio of how much impact I have v.s. how much impact I could have. My life is finite. The lives of deities are not.
I can only prevent one lifetimes worth of child abuse at most. God can stop child abuse from happening. And from that alone, I am fundamentally doing more to prevent child abuse per second than any god is.
And if you really want to go down that argument, there's only so much I can do. But when it happens right in front of me, I step in. I donate to charitable causes to can make much more of a difference that I could alone, converting wealth from my labor into action. But fundamentally, I also need rest and relaxation. I am only human.
But gods don't have such limitation. And yet, here we are.
Literally it just boils down to: If given the option to prevent child abuse from ever happening by simply pushing a button, I would smack the button in an instant. Gods can't even do that.
As someone who's stopped actual child SA, I have done everything in my power to stop such things from occuring.
Gods are omnipotent, and yet they refuse to do what I have done within my abilities 100% of the time.
So what now?
Actual defunct process

Were saying that they should all get aid.
Jerboa's been working pretty good lately.
What in the fuck.
How would this even be implemented? What's to prevent one user from generating massive amounts of karma on their own instance?
But the problem is whether or not the funding form those increased taxes will make a measurable effect in preventing gun violence. I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
To fund change, instead of soaking the fabulously wealthy, who largely have no need for firearms due to how insulated their lives are from danger, we put the burden on the poor to... help the poor...
