A quotation from Emerson

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances — it was somebody’s name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1860), “Worship,” The Conduct of Life, ch. 6

“We have hit a tipping point where the civil rights of an #individual need to be put aside for the #CivilRights of a #community. When a community doesn’t feel #safe, you have to act and you have to make sure there’s a #deterrent and a #consequence.

In my home state again [#Queensland], I would encourage every state to do this, we’re going back to #outback camps where we are rebuilding these young people with a life #skill. Not putting them behind barbed wire but sending them to remote places, giving them a skill and #purpose in life.” — David Littleproud

The National leadership is roaring to the press.

A reminder, my daddy was a State National MP and Minister. I’m from Queensland and our ideas need to be heard across the nation.

Not every #ttrpg #gamemaster gets an #opportunity to inflict a #consequence upon a character who inflicted unsolicited lethal violence upon a non-combatant, non-aggressive, unarmed #NPC.

But #TheCub just handed me such an opportunity last session and I am so #tempted to ask the other adults in the group what their characters think. And what the players think!

Does this mean he should #deport himself too ?
Would be the #logical #Consequence.

A quotation from :Mignon McLaughlin

True remorse is never just a regret over consequence; it is a regret over motive.

"God alone sees the future & knows what is best for us. It may be He doesn’t give us what we asking for because we are not ready or, if He did, there would be a consequence we would not want. Other times, His answer will be no because it would hurt us in the end." - Brenda Walsh

@tommythorn @GrapheneOS #ClassAction ain't a #consequence, because it allows them.to just cough up money and not undo bs.

• See the "#OtherOS Settlement" for the #PS3: #Sony wasn't forced to undo the #Enshittification but merely pay a few $ per customer (but only in the #USA, everyone else got a big middle-finger!), which I think is rather insulting given this was their sole decision and they could've decided just not to be assholes instead...

The correct reaction would be risk of actual #jailtime for exectives: no parole and being forced to pay restitution to all victims that cover all damages & costs incurred as a result of a #DataBreach...

• Remember: If the penalty for a crime is a fine it's only illegal for the poor...
