I'd agree and broaden this to lots of controls. It's nice to have physical inputs with tactile feedback. Especially in cars. I don't want to use a fucking touchscreen to adjust the radio or the climate controls. And universally the touchscreens lag occasionally. Yeah. Don't want that when adjusting volume or temp. Thanks.

Belittling your enemies is fun. But generally impairs your ability to fight them effectively. If you don't understand their motivations and write it off as "they're morons" then you are notvprepared to argue against their rhetoric or to produce counter propaganda. Its pretty obvious lots of causes weaponize purposeless young men. So reducing gsng members to "idiots" is simplistic. If you want to disrupt your enemies recruiting you need tovunderstsnd why they are appealing. Are they giving purpose? Are they providing answers or reassurance (both of which can obviously be lies)? These are questions that allow you to undermine their recruiting or perhaps even recruit for your cause.

Of course. Some ideologies mostly appeal to gullible people with no education. And arguing is futile anyway.

Years ago you could buy a device that let you plug those trackers in but then take them into your house (or wherever, out of your car) while still powered on. So you could take the most conservative little drive at the easiest and mist empty time of day, remove the device, and drive normally for your actual driving. After the monitor period your rates would go way down because you braked and accelerated like a grandma and barely drove your car per the records.

I don't trust the state to wield the power of death.

That being said.

Isn't a helium hood an agreed upon method for medical assisted suicide ? I know nitrogen has some recreational properties helium doesn't, though of the execution methods I've heard of, this one sounds relatively in line with minimizing suffering.

Am I missing something here?
