I think you are misinterpreting the post above. This is not a user with a "stop censoring me" avatar making a post about censoring others.

"Prager U" is a very conservative organization, they are not advocating for censoring conservatives.

The Simpsons image was not part of the original post, and is a reference to a scene where a lawyer said "imagine a world without lawyers" while shuddering in disgust and horror at the utopia he imagines.

    There was once a thought that the linden tree had a sap that was toxic to bees. A paper that I found claims that the more likely cause of bee death is actually starvation. The flowers of fhe linden tree have little or no nectar late in their flowering stage, but the presence of small amounts of caffeine may mislead bees into believing they are finding a food source. This paper recommends planting alternate late summer flowering plants nearby.

    It almost makes me want to push for an advertising freeze on anyone who can't or won't prove their ID and age.

    But I know it won't actually result in companies lobbying against requiring ID, it would just result in them lobbying to advertise more directly to children.

    Imagine a good cop, if you can.

    They will have to exist in a system which I think we can all agree is corrupt to the point that it cannot be repaired.

    They have a choice, they can silently watch as justice is applied unevenly. Allowing their coworkers to steal and murder with next to no oversight. This would (I feel) mean that ACAB applies to them just as much as anyone else.

    Or they can try to do something about it, try to fight the system through direct action or documenting/exposing the bad cops for the media. Almost always the result of trying to reform the police system from within is expulsion (one way or another) from the police. If the police excise any good cops from their own ranks, then you are again left with ACAB being satisfied.

    Edward Snowden is an example of the police identifying and elimination any good cops from their own ranks to ensure that ACAB still stands.

    A Short Hike

    The Outer Wilds

    Tunic

    Exploration focused games that are pretty calm (for the most part). They are some of my personal favorites. I recommend not looking up much about them (especially Outer Wilds and Tunic. Learning mechanics from gameplay is part of the game for those two). Tunic is probably the most action oriented of the lot, (like old Zelda games) and it leans hard on the puzzle aspect, so if that's not your favorite then it might not be for you.
