lolol @ "within our lifetimes"

We are still profiting. We are still oppressing the people we stole the land from. Yes, it was theft, because we didn't conquer most of it outright — we signed treaties with the natives and then BROKE LITERALLY EVERY ONE OF THEM.

As long as we continue to profit from that ongoing abuse, we share the responsibility for the actions.

This sounds like a uniquely you problem. I've never known anyone go to IKEA buy a wardrobe, cart it home, and then not build it. Even the wife who is an infamous collector of rubbish and probably the world's best procrastinator has all her IKEA purchases built within a weekend. Some of your points make sense, but some are truly bewildering:

1. Yeah number of parts can sometimes be a shock.
2. I've never known anyone to "take inventory" of anything from IKEA. They open the box when they want to build and build it. It's virtually impossible to actually properly take inventory without actually making a whole mess of a room in order to build anything sizable anyway - furniture isn't small.
3. YES. Oh god yes, there are quite a few examples of this. It's like one of those spot the difference puzzles rather than an instruction manual.
4. This is a bit more of a strange one, I don't expect someone who hasn't got a screwdriver and hammer to actually buy anything flatpack. Also any tool that isn't a screwdriver or hammer is included. IKEA famously requires very few tools.
5. I don't think the memory of something taking time to build lingers anywhere near as much as the satisfaction of having it completed. In fact the only people who probably do have negative memories of the build time are those who built it wrong, bought it wrong, or built it in the wrong room and realise they need to unbuild a portion of it.
6. Yes.

It's not expensive in the slightest. There's a reason why open source projects are suffering under a delude of user contributed duplicate AI submissions, and it's not because contributors to open source projects are rich and have nothing better to spend money on than AI tokens.

Also cybercrime is a risk/reward strategy that varies greatly on the cost/benefit scheme. Having an exploit that gives someone data access can be very rewarding. The reality is that people are exploiting AI discovered bugs at a similar rate to user discovered bugs. That's right there in the summary.

Yeah I do this. Sure I could whip up a dashboard in Excel in a few seconds from pages and pages of data, or I could just ask Copilot to generate dashboards over and over again until it guesses the one I like, all the while taking longer to do the job and costing a lot of money. Eventually the business is sure to stop telling us to "use AI for everything".

Although corporations are probably just dumb enough that rather than admit AI shouldn't be used for everything they'll probably pay some consulting a shitton of money to give everyone "prompt training."

I'm sorry what? Where in the world is this a rule? You stop behind the white line, but up at it. That's what the line is there for. In places in the world with intelligent intersections if you stop more than a cars length behind it you don't trigger the sensor and may find yourself waiting for a light which will never change to green.

Gender is real as long as you mean it as equivalent of biological sex.

It' always good when you're arguing the brain doesn't exist. But even if we ignore that, I bet you can't even give a foolproof definition of "biological sex".

The problem is the simplified thinking that an EUV machine is just an iteration of a DUV machine and not knowing the leap in technology between the two.

Either way you don't need a working EUV machine in order to make an EUV machine.

Forget signalling. Basic driving such as not stopping one or more car lengths behind the white line, not braking at green lights, not braking going down small hills, or turning right on red.

People say senior citizens should be retested every few years. Make it everyone. The panic in people's eyes when they can't be on their phone while taking the test would be priceless.

I'm saying that the professionals who assessed the evidence did so. That is a fact. There was enough evidence presented to convict and the only reason he's not still in jail is that the evidence was linked to the wrong person.

Why do I do this? Because a complete process was followed that assesses said evidence. You on the other hand are just guessing based on little more than a few lines from a news article that never put the evidence in question.

Why do you do that?

The courts disagreed, and by the very nature of that disagreement you're post is factually incorrect.

I'm just saying that you should advocate for a justice system that punishes all the crimes equally. Everyone who missed the underscore is at fault here. Why are you picking favourites?

Across the board. I do agree there are people who should be separated from society for their whole lives, but fun fact: School shooters are not one of them. You may not agree with this because I'm assuming you're American and the word prison for you means "retribution" rather than rehabilitation. But a functioning mental health system actually does allow people who have committed a crime to reintegrate into society. It's what countries with actually reasonable incarceration rates, and far lower rates of recivedism than the USA do.

You picked a very low hanging fruit there. School shooters are almost universally troubled young and still malleable minds and more easily rehabilitated than many other class of criminal. On top of that, the real question is, why focus on school shooters at all instead of the system that has so utterly failed to the point where they exist. Ask yourself why they are almost uniquely American.

There have been many cases of capital punishment being executed incorrectly with the "perpetrator" exonerated posthumously. The fact you don't know this is you're failing, not a problem with my post.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Life prison terms are a thing. But I get it, you're American. Prison there is retribution, not rehabilitation. It's just another way to show you're just as sick and twisted as those people doing the crime.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole rest of the world looking at you and mocking your stupidity.

No but it can be compensated. What good is compensation for you when you're dead. Also fun fact, the "you go to jail, you gonna get raped" meme is fun joke to make, but statistically not even remotely true, especially if you are male.
