Pregnant Woman Stabbed 14 Times By Delivery Driver Over $2 Tip

Now more and more people aren't really living in a conventional sense. They are alone without real friends, partners, and family; they are at home more than ever, with their keyboards. They aren't having meaningful IRL human interactions nor doing it under the influence of alcohol which regrettably is all too present in cases of murders (victims are under the influence A LOT and safe assumption perpetrators as well) and violent crimes. If people can get to a Huxley-like metaverse, murder rates should go even lower.

Whether that is a good thing, or the silver lining of a bad thing, is in the eye of the beholder.

Not sure how much violence is aligned with the increase of technology in our lives. I think it is a factor, but not a major one.

Murder and violent crime in general was in a freefall from about 1990-2010. This is almost perfectly in line with the internet and home computers either not being a factor in social life at all, being in their infancy, or not being available in your pocket 24/7.

On the other hand, technology has made crime easier to track and punish. It has created a ton of distractions (porn, computer games, virtual communities) for people that would otherwise seek this in the outside world and in deviant ways.

And of course, the greatest irony of all is that so many people today think society is at its most violent and decadent ever when most objective facts show otherwise.

Free fall kind of like how marriage rates were in freefall. I think the adage is cops start with spouses as suspects in crimes for a reason. Anyhow, I think people look to tail events too much TBH, like murder and suicide as a barometer of things. It's easy to measure, but I think whether something happens to 5 out of 100,000 people or 7 out of 100,000 people isn't particularly meaningful.

Where people will see vice and decadence is generally through their every day interactions and the feelings; which will likely be people addicted online seeing too much outrageous stuff, the massive proliferation of pornography and online sex work, or perpetually inundated with bad news tragic media stories. IRL "decadence" will largely if not entirely be anecdotal and philosophical and people don't like arguing over anecdotes since the ending will always be "that's just your opinion". There's not much for stat keeping in that regards.

It's pretty silly to think it's the most violent and decadent the world has ever been; but I can understand (especially religious) conservative types born post WW2 viewing their society as being the most decadent of their lifetimes.

Man, back in my day all we'd do with bad tippers was just spit in the pizza, maybe wipe our dicks on it, stick some pineapple on it, make sure it was cold as fuck. What has happened to society when shit like this is happening?

How did you know who was a bad tipper before a delivery was made? If you just did it by address or number, then there was collateral damage...

Look at the shithole the woman was staying in. You think she's got tons of money to throw around?

The victim is very fortunate to have survived that attack.
