Strong disagree. I’m not talking about thought policing, I’m talking about punishing actual decisions that directly lead to the death of a child. People can think and say what they want about vaccines. But when their decision to not get their kid vaccinated directly leads to that kid’s death, that crime leaves the realm of thought.

We as a society don’t hesitate to take children away from parents who beat them, or punish parents who kill them by a malnutrition, and we go rabid over hot cars. These aren’t thought crimes, they are physical actions that physically harm children, and they deserve punishment.

Huh I didn’t know that thanks for informing me

Downvotes from people who don’t like this authoritarian stance.

Fuck em, this is one authoritarian stance I share. If your kid dies because you made the active decision to feed them nothing but fruit, you get arrested. If your kid dies because you made the active decision to leave them in a hot car, you get arrested. If your kid dies because you made the active decision to not get them vaccines, you should be arrested.

I’ll never understand the position. If a deadly disease is God’s will, then so is the vaccine which prevents it.

Mennonites have no problem using blades to cut their hair, wearing glasses when their vision is faulty, or using soap after wiping their ass. Why are they against medicine?

It’s a personal decision not put upon anyone else

Except the dead kid

I totally agree! That’s why I’m in favor of repealing the fourth amendment. If you aren’t hiding anything illegal in your house, then you should have no problem with the police searching it. Why should you care?

And I don’t want my kid exposed to Mormons. Unfortunately, your rights end where my rights begin

From what I understand, the only way to mitigate the risks relating to IME or AMD PSP is to simply not have a computer in the first place. Like I’ve said elsewhere twice now, it’s worth mitigating some risks even if we can’t mitigate all of them. I don’t want the most advanced computing device in my home to be an astrolabe.

Like I said 6 hours ago, just because I can’t mitigate all of the risk doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t mitigate as much as I reasonably can.

My 3d printer is a fire hazard, but that’s no excuse for leaving a bunch of candles unattended.

You are correct, and it doesn’t change my stance at all. It’s still worth it to mitigate risk even if you can’t mitigate all risk.

Like, the fact that my 3d printer is already a fire hazard does not justify leaving a bunch of candles unattended

Hybrid Theory is the strongest Linkin Park album, with Meteora in close second

The Hands That Thieve is great whether you listen to Streetlight Manifesto ska version or the Toh Kay acoustic version

My Head Is An Animal remains my favorite Of Monsters And Men album

Christian rock as a genre is generally bad, but rock that is Christian can be pretty good: ? by Neal Morse remains one of my favorite albums

Obviously, but I trust my Linux mint laptop a hell of a lot better than my aunt’s XIPPLG branded wifi cat feeder that she bought off Amazon
