There's even a saying about it. "I would rather a thousand guilty men go free than one innocent man be murdered".

Kinda sounds like me when seatbelt laws came out.

At first, I was against them, not because I myself didn't wear a seatbelt because I did, but because I thought it was absurd that we would waste time and money trying to make stupidity illegal.

Like if you make stupidity illegal, then the people making stupidity illegal would be illegal because it's stupid to try to make stupidity illegal.

My opinion was that if you are stupid enough to drive a two ton death machine without basic protection and it kills you, then that's your own stupid fault, right?

But my mind got changed about it when somebody mentioned to me that seatbelts don't just save lives, they also reduce injuries.

And, given that the kind of person that is dumb enough to drive without a seatbelt is also the kind of person that is dumb enough to drive without insurance, the real reason for pushing for seatbelts was to reduce the taxpayer burden of covering the health care financial deficit caused by these stupid idiots.

It was not a life-saving measure, although it does save lives, but rather, it is a money-saving measure.

Protecting taxpayer money from stupid people is a smart move.

Now I am fully behind seatbelt laws.

I bet most of them are affiliated with a Christian church of some variety, at least 60%

What's honestly almost shocking how completely not shocking it is:

Every single other world leader condemned or lamented the attack except for the fucking sad sack, pathetic shell of shit human being impersonator known as Donald Trump

I came a little bit later because I started on Kbin.Social and then that closed.

Yeah, Friday the 13th

I was wrong thinking that having access to information would change the world for the better.

My childish self honestly had no idea that so many people would rebel against their fellow man and common sense rather than learn and accept that they had some wrong information about something.

My hopeful naivety kept me blind to the idea that people are fundamentally stupid, and will fight to the bitter end to die like the dogs they are rather than take one step as a human being that has the tiniest little flaw.

And that includes myself.

I remember pulling out new towels from my high school gym and them being already dirty.

Then why the hell were they always so fucking dirty looking?

And if you want a magical world fix that is from someone that supports trans people, look into the Young Wizard series by Diane Duane.

She as an author is also on Blue Sky and is one of the most positive, friendly, upbeat, likable people I've met there.

And the ease of hiring people who have experience with Microsoft clients compared with the ease of hiring people that can set up an open source version
