Exactly. In concept, a judge can order psychological treatment, which should come from trained medical professionals. In practice, the US carceral state doesn't have a good track record of improving the lives of people who fall into its grasp.

I've been following Professor Phillips Obrien for analysis on this subject, and he largely shares your opinion.

He thinks that if the US really wanted Ukraine to win the administration would have been providing much more long-range weapons, and that they still could. Ukraine can still win, but it depends on their allies actually helping them do that.

Sounds like he's deeply unwell. Fingers crossed the judicial system actually manages to help him, though I wouldn't hold my breath.

Loria is a game from 2018 that is very obviously inspired by Warcraft 2. I remember enjoying my playthrough.

If your organization knowingly tolerates any number of Nazis in its ranks, you have a Nazi organization.

...and then you actually read the article past the misleading click bait, right? The Telegraph is a conservative paper, they have an interest in smearing anyone who challenges the status quo.

Up to 80 per cent of people living on arterial routes in urban areas did not own cars, with most of the pollution being caused by motorists driving into and through their communities.

Pointing to the “greening” of city centres such as Seoul and Utrecht, he said: “We should start changing our cities and actually start thinking about ripping out road infrastructure and turning them into green spaces or green transport corridors. We have to look beyond traffic.”

That is not something a reasonable person would interpret as ripping out 100% of roads. Especially since he references real projects like Seoul.

You know, for someone who complains about other people making strawman of them, you sure do seem fond of it yourself.

Someone: "We should reduce our dependency on cars and shift our infrastructure planning toward other modes of transport wherever possible."

You: "SO YOU WANT TO TEAR OUT ALL ROADS EVERYWHERE AND EXECUTE PEOPLE FOR OWNING CARS?!?1!?!1?"

Every store? Obviously not. Running cargo trams through major business or industrial districts, though? More plausible, if the will exists.

Something like that, but as a public service.

Trains carry cargo all the time. I don't think it's too crazy to suggest light rail be adapted to do the same.

“I don’t want them to advertise,” Musk said at the New York Times DealBook Summit in New York. “If someone is going to blackmail me with advertising or money go fk yourself. Go. Fk. Yourself,” he said.

Some people think being wealthy proves that a person is smarter than everyone else or has some special skill that makes them more valuable to society. Then there's the richest man in the world who thinks it's a good idea to curse out his company's primary source of revenue.

Wait, they actually made that thing? I assumed the project would be canceled after everyone laughed at the reveal.

The fact that this monster lived a full century without facing any justice for the mass graves filled with his victims makes me ill, but I am glad to hear that he's finally gone.
