I hope so too that 99% is way too high.

And I understand your wish for tougher enforcement. Studies do show that tougher punishments do not lead to less crime (even worse, the severity of crime increases since you get the max punishment anyway), so that is something to take into account. But I understand that people want an end to the low accountability of one's actions.

"who only care about themselves."

To be fair, this is true of 99% (or whatever high percentage) of people.

"How about we do THAT first."

Why not do both? Why make it an OR decission

Tax the rich and push for government reform.

Although it is true what you say and I do agree, I also read between your lines that maybe you don't know how difficult and (life)long that process is.

An eating disorder is a disease/issue that honestly isn't solvable, you carry that weak point for the rest of your life and will have to battle it. Which with eating is extra difficult, since you have to eat. You can't stay sober from food.

(But maybe I misunderstood your words (being written text without further context). )

Nice choice of the word/idiom cudgel, since a cudgel is a small (child?) version of a weapon.

Oh no, the world is now seriously doing what was a funny satirical subplot in the movie Brewster's Millions.

Movies are not meant as instructions people, cmon!

True, but what else can you do, especially on a forum (where the overcompensating/insecure truck driver will never come)?

And sorry that my joke was stale. After posting I noticed I was hardly the first or last to make the same remark.

But what new can be said about these trucks?

[–] Darkblue@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Well, not the same amount of people. The truck can only carry the same number of people, but only guys with small dicks.

The fact that I had to look up who Edward Jenner was, and that I (unfortunately) immediately know who Kylie or Bruce Jenner is (to use the same last name), cynically proves your point.

Nurses and firemen should drive lambos, bankers should eat scraps. But alas, human nature rewards greed, but expects humanity.

Well, I already voted and commented more here then I ever did on Reddit, so that should work out :)
