Now you might be wondering "Wouldn't companies just rule in favor of whoever payed them the most?  Wouldn't poor people be unable to afford legal protection?  Wouldn't that make the law impossible to enforce since a rapist could refuse to go to any court that wasn't run by MRAs?  Wouldn't the competing police forces/courts inevitably clash with each other and cause a civil war, the winner would be a new government?"  The answer to these questions is "NO, BECAUSE IT JUST WOULDN'T SHUT UP!"

disclaimer: I'm not an ancap. I don't necessarily believe these answers, but they are my best guess of what an ancap would say.

Wouldn't companies just rule in favor of whoever payed them the most?
If your company was known to be biased like this, people who expect to be innocent would not want to hire it (because they expect to be innocent and don't want to pay extra for rulings in their favour). Further, if I know you hire companies that will rule in favour of the highest bidder then I won't interact with you, including trade, and you will lose money.

Quote
Wouldn't poor people be unable to afford legal protection?

I think the two standard arguments are 'there would be less poor people in ancapistan' and 'it's not like the current system doesn't fuck the poor anyway, we'd still be a strict improvement over it'.

Quote
Wouldn't that make the law impossible to enforce since a rapist could refuse to go to any court that wasn't run by MRAs?

A condition for me interacting with you is that we'll both have some sort of corporation whose rules we both agree with. If rapists refuse to be bound by the rules of a corporation that bans rape, then they will be expelled out of every private space run by people who are against rape. They can go live in their little rapist utopia along with people who want to live alongside rapists.

War is very costly and rational organizations will attempt diplomatic solutions over violent ones, unless one organization is overwhelmingly more powerful than the rest (in which case that organization is the government, and you're not living in ancapistan).

I actually agree with some of that, but just, damn, that person's an ass.

Also, the bill is DOA in the Senate. They cannot get more than 49 for the House bill as passed. (They lose Collins and Murkowski over defunding Planned Parenthood, Portman over reversing the Medicaid expansion, and every Democratic Senator knows that their career will be over if they vote for the Republican replacement for the ACA.)

Plus Senate Republicans already said, "Congratulations on passing a bill, now we're going to work on Cassidy-Collins and we'll get back to you in a conference committee."

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

...How about reading the part of the Bible where Jesus tells us to take care of each other? Even strangers.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

There is this meme in Finland now...

Write "minun nimeni on" to google translate, followed by your name. (The phrase means "my name is" in Finnish.)

The results are weird.

One buddy got "my name is no connection."

I on the other hand get "my name is asshole."

Because of course I do.

My wife on the other hand gets "my name is to let the forest frog" which at least sounds cool.

With my first name, I get "My name is different."  Well, that's not untrue.

It seems that google translate will recognize some names and the weird results come from having a name that is not used in other languages. Though this theory may have flaws as my wife has a common name that is written the same way in English, Scandinavian languages, German and some other languages as well though there are few variations.

Does nothing for me. Literally, I just get my name out of it.

There's a blizzard outside.

...The next person to claim that climate change is not a thing is going to lose some teeth.

But how can a blizzard be real if climate change isn't real?

Apparently this is site is filtered from Burger King's wifi under "Adult, Other". Why?
