@dclr42 I'm not really good at explaining it. I think you might find this book worth a read, since it in part also tells about the 'justice' feeling of humans. How we all are, in essence, sort of 'good'.

Humankind: A Hopeful History
by Rutger Bregman

@urusan Lol really means 'fun' in Dutch. So it's a superbly great coincidence that the well-known internet acronym has about the same meaning. Us Dutchies had zero issues adopting this term.

@freemo
If NJ didn't have gun laws, it'd indeed be a 'killer state'... 😋

@acjay

@dclr42 I'm not talking about the 'justice' that you know from laws. I'm talking about the justitious feeling in every human.

If you see a big bully hurting a smaller person just cause, you feel that this is 'not right'. It's the kind of feeling that makes people root for the underdogs.

Aggressive individuals in any species won't last long in general, because they are putting the whole species in danger. We're not that much different from other species in that regards.

@knuppelbeer Vooral zonnig, en winderig. Later waarschijnlijk wat regen.

@dclr42 I think it's something intrinsic in most humans. Working together to a greater goal is just.. something you know. You know killing other people for fun is not justice, because you'd harm your species that way. It doesn't matter whether you're religious or not, it is just... human.

@meechele7 Naw, nobody needs to make any case. If you don't want to stay here, then don't. Not that I'm saying you have to go away, heh. Just that if you don't want to be here, then don't force yourself to. Do whatever you want.

@Floyd Wow, that is pretty sad.

Back then those kind of people would be isolated in rural locations or not have a lot of reach.

Now they can become influencers and spread bullshit. Thankfully there are still smart people around correcting her. :P

@gpowerf You're overestimating the tech-savviness there I think.

@gpowerf Well, hardware-wise Chromebooks would still be fine, no? It's just that they won't get software-updates anymore? Does the Right to Repair include software?

@xasherry Where I am at should be feeling like freezing to you. 😅 (It's like 10C or so here)

@ambulocetus They certainly do. Though Data is just as pale, just with glasses on. And he smiles. ;)

@xasherry That's a nice temperature. You call it cold, I call it warm, lol.

@tripu

Assisted suicide is possible in my country for those people who believe they're suffering too much to live.
