Up to first civilizations, and practically also up to, like, XIX-XX centuries in many rural areas.

Really, you can replace police and laws with any form of more or less organized sanctions against the perpetrators.

Law and authority is a good read, but it shows exactly that - without centralized power, people do (and, according to Kropotkin, people should) put system of unwritten controls all by themselves. And that keeps us from sliding into the savage world where everyone preys on one another. But if something breaks in this chain, if we accept the violence against one another, we'll get extinct very rapidly.

The scariest part is that real world is, in fact, a hardcore free-for-all PvP realm.

I'm not talking competition or something. A random person can absolutely come to you at any time, stab or shoot you and you'll be dead. Forever. No respawns.

It's only because people don't really like being murdered that led them to make and enforce rules on what violence is legitimate that curbed the violence. But even still, anytime, anywhere, by anyone, you can absolutely be killed. And if one day something breaks in the chain that makes police work, we're super screwed.

Do not publicly post your kid much until they're old enough to understand what you do. Easy as that.

Like, I've seen very many people being hugely uncomfortable with their kid pics shared with others. This is a big deal.

The entire article is utter apologetic trash, doing its absolute best to show how unpopular this decision is (despite being hugely popular) and focusing on "Hamas terrorism concerns" without any consideration at all given to Palestinians.

Part of any international sanctions is to leave something for the perpetrator to lose.

Otherwise, they can do literally everything without any further consequences whatsoever - it won't get worse for them.

Also, as rightfully mentioned, part of UN's goal is restoring peace between nations, which is harder to do when they are not members. That's the problem with Palestine, and it will get worse if Israel leaves too.

Just generally ask your kids' permission to post them online, and don't pressure them if they don't want to. This is a single piece of advice that will protect you from many mistakes like these.

Linus did have emotion control issues and was not always completely rational, but he's gone a long way towards being incredibly responsible to his child that powers the world.

Also, he long understands that Linux ain't a hobby project, which some programmers still get to think.

Guess they meant "Spain and Portugal themselves"

Essentially every country settled primarily by Europeans or their descendants, except somehow Latin America, Russia and Belarus, and, debatable, a few other European countries :D And potentially including Israel
