It’s like you’ve never used an ARM Mac.

8GB M1 MacBook Air (an equivalent spec) can do all kinds of crazy things you wouldn’t expect it to.

It’s not “absolutely kneecapped” unless you’re doing pro stuff. It’s fine for home movie HD video editing or audio production that isn’t tons of tracks or any kind of basic administrative task you need. Even chrome with 20 tabs, if you must.

Oh that’s rich coming from NSA-land

A similar but not quite as retro endeavour would be hosting a Hotline server.

3 mundane and common things that are locked behind a smartphone interface, that I have run into recently, and I don’t even live in a city.

I didn’t say make the sentence community service, which you seem to imply. New justice systems will be complex and results-oriented. Yeah responsibility for dangerous jobs needs to focus up the ladder. Jail as punishment doesn’t solve any of the problems except preventing interaction with free society. Victims don’t see justice or restitution, only vengeance. The expense is huge. Accomplices go free.

Onoff, eh? ‘I can’t think of an easy answer so there must be none’

That lack of nuance combined with an aversion to improving shitty systems that don’t work, and an aversion to whatever the science says in combination with front-line problem solvers, characterizes conservative policy.

They do run on an old fashioned and unscientific yearning for vengeance-as-justice, yessss.

An empiricist government might address the whole ‘16 hours of continuous driving’ that is rampant in the industry, make sure he never drives again, and make the sentence include some kind of restitution.

But performative punishment is more fun yeah? Stockades and then chopping off a hand might satisfy those folks.

Yess yessss let the Algorithm flow through you

Not including berries in “fruit” is weird AF.

Saying we don’t need fibre is just deeply misinformed.

Anecdotal evidence, universalized, is often just rationalization. I believe you about your experience. I don’t think you can generalize accurately withit.

You are making assertions based on your expectations about geopolitics? But your reasoning ignores history and Russian known tactics. Not convinced.

“Nutrition” comes in many forms; I am fine with high density antioxidants and vitamins (more dense in some fruits than most if not all veg and meat) that are candy.

You have a strange opposition to fruit. Go prove that people can have a healthy diet without fruit and come back with the evidence.

Well it’s just a major part of many primate species’ diets, including hominids. Your mileage may vary depending on gut flora etc but humans eat a lot of fruits in general.

Complex answers there due to bioavailability, combinations, and palatability. Cow liver has lots of vitamin A but it is liver. Carrots have a lot of A if you eat good fats with them. Sea Buckthorn has more than you need but you also get v.C and lots of other nutrients and it’s a candy.

Also as primates we are built for fruit.

Pu Erh is probably the healthiest stimulant hot drink available. Green teas are a close second.

You could probably sub in chocolate for a similar benefit.

Yes, so is India and other economic and political adversaries, especially authoritarian countries. China is a risky partner for us in many ways, and for a long time.

It kind of goes without saying unless you need to be pedantic and completionist.

The major subversive pressure currently is coming from those two militaristic imperialists however.
