  • I definitely agree with the flawed justice system and tbh that’s really the only reason I’m against death penalty.

    Some people are really really bad and if we are 100% sure they are then deleting them from the society is actually a good option as it frees up bandwidth and resources for more productive endeavours. The 100% sure is really hard to get but, as we can see, not always.

    The other interesting point is that suffering in “humane sort of banishment” can be viewed as a ethical-purgatory of sorts and maybe we want that even if we’d never see the rehabilitation?

    My friend is a locksmith and if your area is not overcrowded and you can keep a good company running it’s really good. People pay a lot of money to get back into their car at 6am but also every building needs a lock and the locks need maintenance.

    It’s a real business though as the trade aspect of cutting a key or opening a door isn’t difficult at all. The challenge is running business, accounting and all the certifications and associated protocols. With all that said, it can get crowded real fast so this all only works if you’re one of 3 locksmiths in town at most.


  • Electrician 100% and it’s really fun too.

    I’m a software dev and that would be my backup trade as it scratches every intellectual itch if you work on more complex setups as well as mechanical fulfillment as you actually see your work published. The community is huge and the demand will almost never decline. The only downside that it’s not very mobile but still much more mobile than most other trades.
