gollark: Just rewrite osmarkslisp™ in javascript.
gollark: And also the fact that lots of laws are terrible and efficient nonselective enforcement of them would break everything.
gollark: I mean, you could make some arguments for that along the lines of, what, the tradeoffs involved in making it more effective having some downsides in liberty, but sinthorion isn't.
gollark: "The very word 'law enforcement' implies going hard against any violation of the law. My point is that since even the best effort at law enforcement is still somewhat imperfect, you should take a more lax stance, maybe allow basic crimes everywhere."
gollark: It's a stupid point which is *clearly* stupid if generalized to other things.
