Tape it to the bottom of a door

Probably not. Teenagers are still developing their brains, empathy, etc.

Some teenagers are taught that hunting is a valuable skill and want to practice it. Some just want to use their toy and don’t actually consider the full implications. Some might have been taught that squirrels are vermin.

All those things are more likely than the teen shooting the squirrel because they enjoy causing pain. Probably the squirrels POV never even shadowed their thoughts.

tl;dr teenagers are stupid and do stupid shit without thinking about what they’re doing.

The books aren’t terrible, though they are YA fic.

I will pirate it if it’s old (tv series from the 80’s, for example) or if I can’t get it legally. I live in a country that falls through distribution loopholes moderately often. Like right now, I can’t watch the latest season of Lower Decks on prime even though I could the previous ones. Some kind of licensing thing. If it’s not resolved soon, I’ll be taking to the high seas for it.

Oh it’s fine, that’s a perfectly healthy tire. Absolutely not going to get the rider killed. Trust me, I’m a complete stranger on the internet.

My views are based on knowing the kind of people who are missing fingers from overriding safety features but they still do it

Think less Fukushima and more Texas power grid.

And yeah it is safe, but if it becomes unsafe for whichever reason, it becomes really unsafe. I just don’t trust humans to not eventually something stupid.

Blackout Sabbath?

My only quibble with nuclear power is how irresponsible people are long term. The critical safety failure is always someone incompetent or cutting costs/corners.

Well and that I think distributed generation is more robust. Natural disaster can’t take out power to half a state if there’s energy being generated and stored all over. The means of production in the hands of the consumers.

Only for people worth impersonating.

I’d like less nazis. Including the dog whistling kind.
