@drahardja @bodhipaksa @pluralistic imagine the outcry if we demanded to install hardware and software that monitored their rates of approving or denying coverage to their insured.

@Noorvee I wish all people would understand that the world is not a zero-sum game. In a zero-sum scenario, one person's gain is another's loss, but this perspective doesn't apply to human rights and the freedom to pursue happiness. These are not finite resources like slices of a pie chart that diminish as more people partake. Instead, they are boundless and can expand infinitely. @altbot

The problem with the idea that criminals should have no rights is that it quickly becomes people accused of becoming criminals should have no rights which become accusing people you do not want to have rights of being criminals.

Of course there are a lot of other problems with the idea #criminals should have no #rights.

Right. So this will be a weird ask, so boost for reach.

I'm looking for a picture of my grandfather.

"But Sara. None of us will have a picture of your gramps!"

Well, you might. Evidently there's a photo of him and his cousin Gene in "The Authorized Biography of Gene Roddenberry".

If you have this book (and I do know some Trekkies), can you look for a photo with of man identified as 'Richard "Dick" Golemon'?

Thanks in advance! #startrek

@pluralistic A new insurance company insisted I use their app for three months to monitor my driving. I discovered that I simply could not come to a stop gently enough that it wasn't regarded as "abrupt." So I gave up stopping at stop signs, and just rolled through slowly. It's illegal and less safe, but more acceptable to the app. Similarly, braking when you saw a pedestrian about to step into the road increases your insurance. It's better to ignore them and blast on through.
