  • I think the difference can be drawn in parallel to cigarettes: an unfiltered cigarette is worse than a filtered one for smoking. Both are obviously bad for you, but if you’re stacking carcinogens and other health concerns, eventually you’ll reach someone’s breaking point. I don’t think anyone is claiming alcohol is healthy, but I also don’t think the response should be “it’s already unhealthy, so this isn’t won’t stop anyone”. Every risk associated decision we make adds to the statistics pool for whether we get sick. Mitigating that might actually worry someone enough to switch to a healthier (not healthy) form of alcohol consumption.


  • It’s obtuse because it’s not like another one is going to crop up in the same town in the same day to give the workers jobs, nor is it going to solve the issue of regulating the industry properly. The people enforcing the policies need teeth, and those teeth should be able to bite at the people causing these conditions. Places get like this because 3rd party inspection is underfunded and underpowered. Shutting a place down means it cuts into profits while potentially cutting off workers’ incomes. It doesn’t mean the owners or board get significantly impacted.









  • I’ve come across this, and this might be something related to that specific server and maybe timeouts. It only happens to me occasionally but it’s always either he same server. Either Jerboa isn’t able to handle the more poplar servers/the settings for the account, or the server is having the issue. I’m not an expert, I’m just trying to voice what I’ve seen in my end.

    Nothing about your original message implies the intent of the power holder, nor does the original prompt imply the intent of the power holder. Someone can both have a debt owed by them to someone in their immediate vicinity and also have no intention of paying that debt. If I owe a friend $100, does my power require me to state or intend on paying that debt? Or is the requirement fulfilled because I have an immediate debt to pay and I’m fishing in my pocket for “change”? All of the listed powers are either easily exploitable or can be rules-lawyered to mediocrity.

    I don’t disagree, but my point was a stab wound on a “healthy” versus “unhealthy” body is still a stab wound. If you’re able to be injured, the only way you’d be immortal is if you can regenerate from anything. That wasn’t part of the “perfect health”, so I’m assuming “perfect health” is not immortality like some of the others suggested.

    But like, if you never hand over the cash, don’t you still owe them the money, and then you just repeat until want? You could arbitrate or even actually owe a great debt in the thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, roll up in some cargo shorts, and then just effectively print money double fisting your shorts.
