- ceejayoz 3mo ago"We're bringing the paranoid old biddy HOA worldview to everyone, non-consensually!" is your upside?

- ceejayoz 3mo agoPeople generally recognize there isn't a universal ideal place to live, because people are often different. Some people leave the rural paniopticon where half of the dating pool are cousins for a reason, for example. Why'd your Dad leave?

- selimthegrim 3mo ago>Despite their faults on macro-politics, rigidly Islamic countries are remarkably safe and peaceful at the micro level. Tehran has a half the homicide rate of Toronto! This is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. I'll have to remember to tell my Ahmedi relatives from Peshawar and Gilgit that after they (separately) got out of Dodge after they heard their neighbors wanted their heads on pikes.
- cherry_tree 3mo ago“The state should replace community” is an interesting take. What other powers should be added to the state? Should they cook our food too? Do you think there’s any downside to the government having these powers?

- cherry_tree 3mo agoHopefully one day society can lift itself to your lofty ideals of tasteless food, oppressive surveillance and no crimes against the state. I wonder if anyone has written about such a world before.
- rsynnott 3mo ago... Right, so explain Singapore.
- TimorousBestie 3mo agoI would like to see him try, yes.
