If you place killing an ideal beyond implementing your own you're making exactly the same mistake.

The best we've come up with is to try to ensure people are educated and well informed and only a majority can make certain decisions. Not all countries are doing too well on all 3 (heck the U.S. doesn't even manage to ensure decisions require a majority) but if an ideal gets accepted under anything resembling those conditions then killing the bigots is no longer an option.

Please tell me someone thought about a switch to take them offline.

You can pretend all you like the problem is that there have been leftist wack jobs that very much did exterminate people for political gain.

Things would be so much easier if we could simply argue about ideology without anyone getting the 'clever' idea that you can simply exterminate everyone who disagrees and end up with a harmonious society of people all working towards the same ideal.

Technically he was 19. Also under Dutch law the term rape would imply the use of force, which was either not the case or not considered proven hence why the sentence ended up being lowered.

Still awful. Just trying to get the fact straight so people can judge for themselves.

If you think it has potential I'd say give the LNs a try.

At this stage you'll stand a better chance of enjoying the story by reading the LNs. So far the anime is mostly leaving stuff out without adding much to compensate. I'm only sticking around in the hopes production quality somehow picks up again.

Edit: The manga could also be worth a try, the art is a lot better.

I think humans are mostly carbon-neutral, but decomposition might release gasses that are worse than just CO2. Burning them directly would probably be better.

Yeah it's not a good adaptation. The MC's motivations come across a lot better in the LNs.

And yeah those shadows are freaking weird.

For some reason I read 'zombies', was wondering what on earth you were planning.

When it comes to DIY I'm not touching anything remotely similar to something Colin Furze would make a video about.

So far that rule of thumb seems to hold up quite well.

I mean Fibonacci did more or less the same thing to his work a few centuries later, so fair play I guess.

The reason they have to include the type of tech in the law is because that tech made it possible for unskilled bad actors to get on it

Yeah, and that's the part I don't like. If you can't define why it's bad without taking into account the skill level of the criminal then I'm not convinced it's bad.

As you point out defamation is already illegal and deliberately spreading false information about someone with the intent to harm their reputation is obviously wrong and way easier to define.

And is that not why you consider a painting less 'bad'? Because it couldn't be misconstrued as evidence? Note that the act explicitly says a digital forgery should be considered a forgery even when it's made abundantly clear that it's not authentic.

Fair, but then this law serves no purpose. The thing it was designed to prevent was already illegal.
