@alexandra if someone is about to kill you or someone else, i think so. probably also for attempted rape, or certain other types of sub-lethal-intent bodily harm attempts (punching someone in the skull), i think so.
it gets more murky when it comes to protecting property or non-humans. some would say it's justified if someone invades your home and attacks your pet. it isn't a bright line.
there's hope for police usefulness yet

@meena if your argument is against the environmental impact of the energy use of cryptocurrencies, then just be against PoW cryptocurrencies *in general* and don't confuse the issue with "but my face is on the listing on OpenSea!"
@meena NFTs aren't "picture [is] being sold" so please don't with the red herring
@meena this sort of whining is pretty dumb imo; they go on for a while about copyrights of images, then admit that NFTs have nothing to do with copyrights. who gives a shit if someone is buying or selling an nft with a string that matches your name on it, or a URL to an image of you? nobody is being harmed, it's just whiners looking for an excuse to whine. (for the record, i think NFTs are dumb.)
@meena that's what the society has agreed upon, it's not my concept, take it up with them. that's how it works presently, though.
i'm fine with it.
arnold is one of the few actually decent human being politicians, even if i don't agree with his politics.
