  • i just want to point out that permanent imprisonment also doesn’t have to be particularly bad for the imprisoned person, we could totally just “imprison” people in a quite nice 4-room apartment and let them live as normal lives as possible while keeping them separated from others.
    Let them get groceries delivered, have normal (if monitored) subscriptions and internet access, and go on walks with an actually friendly warden who just keeps an eye on them while actively trying to make the person feel normal.

    even nordic prisons which are famous for being not inhumane are still quite terrible places to be, largely because we can’t be arsed to spend more money than what we consider bare minimum to not qualify as torture.


  • i would absolutely be corrupted by wealth, it’s just that it’d corrupt me into a mad train model enthusiast who buys a huge piece of land to construct a “model” resort with smol steam train-styled trams, which are fully functional and the whole thing just actually being a quite nice place to live full-time, simply because i desperately want to see it exist.

    The mad part is that the old-timey cozy vibe is enforced by contract, everything is themed and you must dress accordingly and avoid obvious use of modern stuff while in public. Cars are verboten, as are e-bikes and scooters.










  • the whole point of the rainbow flag is to not put a representation of literally everything you can think of, and instead using the rainbow (which IRL contains all the colours we can see) as an umbrella.
    So yeah no let’s ignore that and just slap on one symbol for every specific identity we can think of, oh hey if you squint your eyes the flag is just white now!
