The police should not be financially incentivized to enforce any aspect of the law, because it leads directly to corruption. CMV?
Convince me…variably? Cytomegalovirus?
2) It’s abbreviated in every single thread on the sub in which it originated: https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/
3) Now that you have seen it and received the explanation, you will recognize it and can be the messenger in the future.
2) Showing that a phrase is abbreviated on the specific subreddit named after that phrase is one of the least convincing arguments possible for general use of that abbreviation.
3) I could, but that doesn't sound like something I particularly want to happen.
When you phrased your original post like this, I thought that meant you were familiar with the common phrase but somehow missed the abbreviation. So bullet point 2 was not an argument, but context.
Here’s an argument though: being part of the ongoing process of negotiating word use usually takes the form of choosing which words and phrases to make part of your own vernacular and which ones to omit. Nobody wants to hear “let’s not do that” nor “don’t do that”, especially over such a mundane abbreviation.
Do you mean nobody wants to hear it directed at them? That's true in general, even in situations where it really needs to be said. So that's not a very compelling reason to not say it.
If you mean nobody wants to hear those words ever, from anyone to anyone, then that's not true.
But civil asset forfeiture isn't incentivizing good policing.
If you de-incentivize them every time there is a problem, they will instead try to hide problems.
How do you come up with fair incentivization?
It was even the case in communist russia by the way. With horribly designed metrics, like maximising tonnage of a factory output, which lead factory managers to ditch better product for lesser, heavier products. I think it was described in the book Red Plenty.
Again the problem isn't incentives, it is badly designed incentives.
That doesn’t make it good. In both cases, it’s probably heavily responsible for the enshittification we see everywhere.
Every metric winds up gamed.
Just carrots, whatever the definition, won't fix everything, there are assholes in every profession, you need sticks too.
