having kids (which is great) is worse than drunk driving, so ergo drunk driving is one of the best things a person can do

people drive too aggressively these days and a two drink minimum to get behind the wheel would resolve a lot of issues

or

you should be able to go to the dmv and blow above a .08 and then take a driving test. if you do, you're clear to drive as long as you are not more drunk than you were while taking the test. you get a little number on your license like .11 or whatever

Unabombing a kindergarten might actually be a good thing when you really think about it. Just an idea I’m throwing out there if any climate doom goons are following along.

taking a cue from the climate change response i was kicking around the idea of 'child credits' where if you dont have a kid you get a credit that you can sell to someone so they can have a kid guilt free. but yeah you could generalize it to any situation where you were responsible for reducing the total number of children, you get that many sellable credits. the market should be able to handle any issues that arise

If your kid is dumb enough to open a package from the unabomber they deserve to die. Even the shittest drunk driver knows better.

no, what you want to do is get somebody mad enough to give you a red title you're proud of
Abortionism may genocide a lot of black people, but it also helps genocide white people, so it;s impossible to say if its bad or not

As long as any two individuals have fewer than 2.1 children they are technically doing a degrowth, just less so than the childfree crowd. As such I think there needs to be a sliding scale as to what crime any given number of kids for a couple would correspond to:

1 kid: DUI (marijuana)
2 kids: DUI (alcohol)
3 kids: arson
4 kids: murder
5+ kids: genocide

it’s not actually that bad and has been wielded as a political scapegoat to plaster over how dangerous cars are just in general. sober drivers kill way more people than drunk drivers.

agreed. if you can’t drive drunk you aren’t good enough to drive at all period.
