Also looks more like a champagne bottle to me. (Which would also be easier to pop open without an opener than a wine bottle, I still remember trying to open a wine bottle with a stick)

There is for sure a YouTube video or there where a therapist reacts to memes and comics and diagnoses them with unsecure attachment styles

Do you have one or two examples of recipes from the book that you think are good?

Well we went down a road that I think we need to track back.

Poor people committing "necessary" crimes is not the focus and should not be. The whole idea of necessary crimes that should not be punished is awful - we should focus on building a society where people don't end up in a position where they have to steal (etc.) to survive. If we are already thinking of how to better jurisdiction I'd argue we have space to assume we can also better their situation in general. We want to deter them from crimes the most, yes, but not by scaring them with the consequences of being caught - we want to deter them by making them unnecessary. No person should be poor, period.

I think what this comes down to is the question of fines themselves. It has almost something catholic about it. You buy yourself out of punishment. I'd argue that this concept is flawed in itself, no matter how you adjust it.

My guess is that this is what the post was supposed to say. Money in itself isn't too much of a fair concept, or a just one. But punishment, law enforcement, etc, should be, despite taking place in a capitalist society.

What it comes down to would probably be something like social service (my guess). Is the crime committed violent and does the perpetrator pose a severe security risk to society? Then a correction facility that focuses on healing, mental and physical health, rehabilitation and reintegration into society should be the choice. The crime was something that could also be fined? Cut the fine, make it a social service. Picking up trash from sideroads, cleaning public toilets. This will benefit the public/society and no one can buy their way out of it.

It doesnt make a difference if the person who committed the crime has more or less money

Of course it does. A poor person might find themselves in a situation where they have to steal groceries or other necessities for pure survival. If I were poor and needed diapers and there was no governmental support program available I would also steal them. Or formula or whatever. A rich person can afford all of that. If they steal groceries it is for the thrill, not out of necessity.

Also, note that really bad crimes (murder for example) are not fined. In that sense it does not matter what the financial status of the perpetrator is. Although filthy rich people can sometimes even buy their way out of these crimes.

Great idea but still unfair. It is the same as a high salaried person being able to afford quitting their job and take a couple of months to look for another or go on parental leave. They can afford it because they have savings. A day fine will also hit the poorest the most, because they don't have savings to afford paying such a fine.

And as @brisk pointed out, wealth isn't income

I've been to an Arctic Monkeys concert where a dude behind me broke his leg and kept moshpitting (don't ask me why there was a brutal moshpit at an Arctic Monkeys concert) for another hour before he was finally taken care of by paramedics.

What is it?

volvoxvsmarla , to Comic Strips in The Critic [Toonhole Chris]

Lol yeah that was the word I was looking for, thanks!

volvoxvsmarla , to Comic Strips in The Critic [Toonhole Chris]

Yeah it reads more like from a self help book with a focus on belief systems and how your feelings and reactions to something are always the result of your very subjective perception of reality.

You forgot to mention that machine drying also leads to clothes breaking/wearing down much faster
