Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[trappedslider]

As in many places literally anyone can hang out a shingle and call themselves a "home inspector", with zero qualifications, that's why I added the "quality" limiter.

me as a home inspector yup that's a house.

As long as its, The Duelists, and not, The Duel, which was dreadful.

2016 or 2023?

Not to be confused with Duel (1971) which is frickin' awesome.

2016 or 2023?

Say what you want about the 2023 film, but it proved that The Last Duel (2021) was not, in fact, the last duel.

The problem is that then you get a certain number of hyper-argumentative and thin-skinned murderers running around killing people legally.

...I certainly wished for this sometimes when I was a young man and active fencer, though.

I don’t see that as much different than the current situation. My thought was they’d find each other sooner rather than later and weed themselves out.

It wouldn't be so bad if those people didn't seem to actively seek out the things which make them lose all rationality and self-control.

Exactly. It’s almost like large groups of people just suck at self-regulating their emotions and as a result feel compelled to control other people instead. But, going back to duels, they’d find each other and the problem for the rest of us would sort itself out in no time.

Somedays I wish duels were still legal. It would solve so many problems in one go.

Mostly to resolve the discourteous problem above, but also to thin out the hyper-argumentative and thin-skinned people who seem to occupy so much time in modern life.

The classic problem is it empowers capable bullies.

 

[Thomas Shey]

I feel like if they did, people would just cook up some complete bad-faith use of the laws to try and murder or otherwise harm people who didn't want to duel.

The classic is usually to just keep pushing someone until they lose their temper. Most people don't have unlimited self-control.
