Of course they got things wrong. Of course we will too. Our guiding doctrine takes that to account and is written so that we can make efforts to improve and advance as society changes and we grow as a society. As near as we can philosophically reconcile perfection is either a concept that is unattainable or inherent. The goal isn’t to live up to the perfect ideals of freedom and equality and all the promises that underpin America in its founding doctrine, the goal is to achieve the closest we can to perfection in any moment- our honest best through hard work and personal growth and progress. America is not a nation built for people who look backwards to how things were, it was a nation founded on the principle that the way things were sucked and we would build something better over time. I believe by and large the true believers in the founding fathers would be proud at least of all the change to our country. While much of it might offend their sensibilities or leave them confused,

irrational and/or misguided.

a comprehensive power grid. With proper design and planning we can help mitigate potential future issues if fission power is replaced. Some plants could be kept running for a period to produce power and then decommissioned. We might keep a few running long term. A plan on using reactors as research reactors or production reactors to create useful isotopes or be used in production of next generation materials and materials treatments, and designs that facilitate the relatively safe and painless decommissioning and reclaiming of sites. Over designing such power plants seems prudent, with hopes the costs can be amortized over long operational life spans. There are many possible options. Regardless there are valid concerns about nuclear power and monkeys playing with the power of a star should be mindful and respect what it is we hold in our hands to help avoid the sorts of problems familiarity and complacency or carelessness can bring- but general fears of nuclear power are often i

Am I saying no to nuclear power? I’m not. We haven’t found a power source that can better match demand while mitigating the crisis of resources and pollution and climate change, and it’s approaching 100 years soon. Even if we developed fusion within the next 30 years- that’s a long time in a human life even if it is a blip in human history. As I’ve said before- the best thing we can do for the environment and to help ensure future humans have a comfortable lifestyle is to reduce what we use. Cut back even if it hurts a bit or requires us to rethink some things and adapt our society. Beyond that we can try to use energy sources we have intelligently. Where geothermal or hydroelectric or wind or solar or kinetic tide or such make sense we should use those. I don’t think eliminating all carbon fuel plants is wise as there are places they make sense to use and having diversity in the power grid and fuel we use is sort of important. But nuclear can and should be a viable option to fill out

Someday we COULD have more efficient reactors and processes. We COULD find ways to use or render inert waste products. And if someday never comes we are not looking too great if we place too many eggs in that basket. And someday we could have fusion or some other technology that makes fission and many or most of its problems obsolete. Coal and gas plants, even solar panels and such- they can be difficult to remedy the environment and dispose of them safely- especially if they are massive installations- but the challenge of decommissioning coal plants and returning the environment to a reasonable state and not risking dangerous contamination that lingers are generally better than if we had a network of nuclear reactors that needed to shut down as a better technology has replaced them.

Likewise nuclear power can be thought of abstractly to take centuries of damage of “conventional plants” and condense that into a single day- a day that can linger for tens or hundreds of thousands of years. It is like being given the choice between being punched every day you work or not be punched but if you or anyone you work with ever make a mistake you will have a body part cut off, and when you retire you’ll be handed a massive bill that you and all your children for ten thousands generations must pay or have a body part chopped off AND be punched every day?

Conventional wars tend to happen. They happen with some frequency through history and are destructive and deadly. In all of history there is one war where nuclear weapons were used, but in fairness that was true first war they were an option in really. In a post nuclear world the risk of conventional war between nuclear powers is slim. It is speculation but likely true to say that direct war between countries like China, Russia, the USA, the UK, France etc. didn’t occur post WW2 in massive and ongoing fashion because those nations had nuclear deterrence. The trade however is living in a world where IF one world leader has a particularly bad day or the wrong misunderstanding or accident or rebellion occurs.. our species and at least our way of life could be completely wiped out.

The “grind” the “hustle” the “hey, I can make money off this!” People will often speak on how some change “hurts small creators ability to create by reducing/eliminating their revenue..” YouTube demonetization etc. but… most of the folks on the early net you speak of weren’t monetized. They just wanted to share things. Not all- there were plenty paid content providers and sites using ads as early as 2000, but in the grander scheme what is missing is a sense of community replaced by the drive for profit and recognition in some tangible, instant form. We still have some of that online, but as you say it is not the internet of yesteryear where you bought a game and if it had online features they were expected to be free because you.. bought the game… or where you could get lost in flash games and funny videos and little desktop “pals” etc.

But that’s a thankless job. Perhaps some emails, some site traffic. No likes. No endorsement deals. YouTube, Tik Toc, these platforms that can lead to riches or at least supplementary income. You could spend hundreds of hours on the old internet making fun widgets or recording hard earned specialized knowledge or coding little games and never be famous- not even internet famous. Never be rich or make even enough from that work to help pay for your weekly coffee. It was done for fun and practice and a love of creating and doing or the novelty of it.
Now… a “retro” App Store game or steam etc. will take as much or less time to make and you can at least make some money- maybe get rich. People put time to make an stl file etc. of something they want to 3D print. The file is already made and they put in the work for themselves- it can be copied near infinite times for basically free. But.. they’ll sell it to you.

In the absence of rules against a behavior it is especially true. If there is no consequence for being a horrible person, those who are truly horrible will show their true selves.
Go back and read through history and understand that unequivocally it is clear that some people are just already on the wrong side of history.

The missing component of course is that of public spaces- within the United States certain rules and principles bind even private enterprise within the communications industry. In general a forum open to all should attempt to be a comfortable and relatively safe space for all- hence why you cannot pull your genitals out at most restaurants or perform self dentistry in the public library or in most of the country- smoke inside even in private spaces open to the public. Sadly these things shouldn’t need to be laws but the world is full of go print people and assholes who force rules to be made with their poor manners and selfish behavior. being forbidden by law or decree isn’t really the point geniuses.
If it were legal to own slaves, would you? If it were legal to beat your spouse, would you? If it were legal to have incest- would you? Even if it were legal your actions in those scenarios would show a lot about your character.

Many things also come down to style and some people feel that developing your own style is important and that teaching might influence your development and imprint their style onto you. So it can be complicated. Overall it is generally the case that we can offer some help, even if just fundamentals or trying to identify the things a person lacks to get to a basic level where they should be able to start figuring out on their own. So I’m general wether you had to learn on your own or not that shouldn’t be the deciding factor in wether someone else should have to. There often are points in our development where the best thing is to have to struggle a little to get to a next phase by ourselves but we generally have phases where we need or can really use some guidance.

So I mean… burglary may or may not apply to an arrest while pranking or “trolling” and ultimately the arresting officer probably doesn’t know what exactly to call what you are doing but they suspect it to be illegal and can and may arrest you and then hold you and allow the prosecutor to decide based on evidence what crime they want to try and charge you with. Even if burglary doesn’t apply another charge likely may.

does not warrant a burglary charge.
2. Most jurisdictions do not require you to commit a second crime to earn a burglary charge. It is enough to intend to commit the crime. Eg: you have written in your diary or on social and/or told friends you plan to sabotage the school during the upcoming game. On the day of the game you are found by police in the utilities with a bag full or items used for the type of sabotage you said you would do. You have no reasonable explanation other than sabotage as to why you are in the utility area and why you have those items or where doing that. You could possibly be charged with burglary even if you didn’t sabotage anything.

Since many of these acts can be inherently criminal- something like entering a home with the intention of replacing someone’s toothpaste with snot could get multiple charges, including burglary as you entered with intent to commit a crime wether in your mind the action was criminal or wether you were aware it was criminal or not. Pranks done in a public space may constitute any number of crimes based on the specifics of the prank as discussed above, and may also qualify for charges like disorderly conduct if the action is considered disruptive or offensive or otherwise can be argued to impede others ability to enjoy a public space. It is possible but perhaps less common to commit burglary in a public space. It is also important to note two things on burglary:
1. Depending on local law certain crimes or thresholds must be reached and not just ANY crime qualifies a burglary charge even if all other factors are met. Ie: some places require the crime to be a felony, so a misdemeanor crime

So the charge of burglary in a “trolling” case depends on what you planned to do. If what you were planning to do was not legal- then burglary can apply. Many broad categories of crime can apply to all sorts of seemingly legal acts. Criminal mischief can generally be applied to any alteration, destruction, or defacement of property- which are common elements of many pranks. There are also multiple degrees of assault charge- assault does not require physical contact per se. For example spitting on a person can be assault. When we start talking about bodily fluids and contact including transfer contact- putting your bodily fluids etc. in places one might expect another to contact- putting someone’s toothbrush up your butt etc. there are multiple possible crimes including quite a few sexual offenses that can be applied.

In simple terms, if you walk into a place that has automatic sliding doors that open for you and allow entry, and the occupant welcomes you in, you can still commit burglary. You don’t need to sneak or break in and can even be invited in. You do need to enter WITH the intent to commit a crime. That crime does not have to be theft. So if you decide to steal your friends Xbox AFTER entering their house that is not strictly burglary. You needed to decide you were going to steal it BEFORE entering. If you decide you will vandalize an exes house and then enter through an unlocked door- that can be burglary as you have decided to commit a crime before entry.

That said, based on the details this meme implies, “burglary” is a very likely and applicable charge, and regardless an arrest would be justifiable in general.
“Burglary” does not mean theft. Trespass is entering a controlled area without authorization- like someone’s lawn. Breaking and entering is a charge that generally applies when one uses force to enter a controlled area- generally a building, without authorization. Picking a lock, cutting a fence- but even slight force such as unlatching a window or possibly opening a gate could warrant the charge. Burglary is any time one enters a building, occupied structure, or attached secured structure or area with intent to commit a crime.
Burglary does NOT require an element of authorization or force.
