Instead he should be paying higher taxes so the city/state can ~have more money to build a bigger and stronger social safety net~ funnel more money to the organized crime syndicates well known to operate at all levels of Gotham’s government.

Not on lemmy.ml there isn’t!
Qualcomm really does want to become Intel.
TIL tortellini is a sandwich.
This is a great resource! Thanks for your effort!
Since you’re getting blasted here, I just wanted to hop on the downvote train to let you know that I think you’re exactly right on all counts.
Like go ahead and argue for an end to misandristic violence if you’d like.
Nah, I’ll go ahead and argue for an end to all violent crime, and not exclude the victims who aren’t lucky enough to have their gender be the reason they were murdered.
I’ve never understood this prevalent idea that murder victims are only worth caring about if their gender played a role. Like, how horribly fucked-up is it to say that some murder victims are more worthy of concern than others, especially when those victims only comprise a small minority of murders?
Being killed because of your gender and being killed because you were in the wrong place or because you looked like an easy mark are all equally bad reasons to murder someone. They’re also all phenomena that could just as easily be addressed by government programs like in the OP, and yet all we ever hear about is the “violence against women” epidemic that only affects a minority of victims.
Plus, even if the numbers of women murdered for their gender is going up (which is obviously horrible and inexcusable), that number still has a long way to go before it even approaches the much higher number of men who are already being killed every year. Like, of course it’s a horrible thing that the number of murdered women is increasing, but I fail to see how that’s so much more important than the much higher number of men who are already being killed, but that nobody is doing anything about.
I mean, the reason for it is the same as it always is - men are seen as disposable by society and therefore issues affecting them are ignored - it just sucks to constantly be inundated with evidence of just how deeply ingrained this misandry is in our society.
This but unironically. Please, please stop demonizing men and actually think about them for once.
The incredibly tiny proportion of the population who are murderers, I’d assume (less than 1 out of every 10,000 people in the US per year if my math is right).
Both sets of victims are equally dead, of course, just with a much higher percentage of those dead victims being men, and a much smaller percentage of those dead victims being the ones stories like this always seem to focus on.
I betcha ten bucks the number of men violently killed in Australia so far this year is significantly higher, just like it is every year. Weird how I can never find any articles about that though.
Too late. I’ve already switched all four of my home PCs to Linux Mint.
Thanks!
It wasn’t a criticism - I was just curious if anyone had any more info.
Do we know when Mint 22 is coming yet other than just “summer '24”?
12345?? That’s amazing, I’ve got the same combination on my luggage!
Lots of badlinguistics in this thread.
Exactly. I’m proudly 3 years Nintendo-free, and I don’t see myself going back anytime soon.
Salt and Sanctuary and Hollow Knight.
Still not buying a Samsung.
