All drugs should be completely legalized globally.

Actual unpopular opinion: people obsess over legalization models for everything because they have bad enforcement models to base their data off of

Law enforcement in the US distributes drugs. Corruption has turned "informants" into a system where the police are essentially gangs which monopolize both criminal activity and the law. Our air force got caught cooking MDMA on a nuclear base in the Netherlands. We have a base here in Texas that changed names because they keep having suicides mass shootings and sweeping SA allegations under the rug. Two of the soldiers got caught with a middle schooler man. There's so many goddamn drugs

Anyways my point is sociologists studying the US actions will assume it is impossible to make anything illegal without causing havoc.

There are ways to eliminate issues like prostitution and drug abuse without locking up prositutes or giving people possession charges or locking up street dealers making less than minimum wage. That kind of criminalization does absolutely nothing other than ruin lives

Ukraine floats possibility of inviting Russia to peace summit

Reply in thread

Support for US wars is bipartisan. The GOP merely pretends they would have managed Ukraine better to pivot to China as an electioneering tool.

It doesn't make any difference, we have no industrial production to fight a peer enemy in a war. All we have is overt nuclear threats and targeted missile assassinations (Soleimani's fate) or WWII-style mass strategic bombing civilian populations (Palestine, Syria, Yemen). Look at you, fools. You've been obsessing over cherry-picked footage to convince yourselves Ukrainians experience only tactical successes. Where are your tactics videos now? You ignored economics and politics.

You thought Twitter could win this war? Tying Russians and their families to trees with saran wrap and pulling their pants down in broad daylight on Telegram? It only enraged them. They won't stop now.

You have zero understanding of operations, let alone strategy,,,,,,, I will speak nothing of the political goals of NATO or Russia alike. LOL. You are completely useless at anything other than smugly cheering for death.

12-Year-Old Spends Entire Hiking Trip Fantasizing About Which Video Game He’ll Play When He Gets Home

Literally was thinking about how I'd have made my last worldgen datapacks differently on my last hike.

It started snowing in the middle and I ended up going for like 5 times longer than I intended and meandering all over every path on Cougar Mountain literally, I'm embarrassed to say how long I was out. Had to do all my errands today instead. Was totally transfixed by the beauty of these gigantic Dippin Dots ass snowflakes

I saw what I was looking at, kind of, the beautiful lichens and mosses. But I constantly thought about them in potential Minecraft/Minetest terms. Worst Tetris effect there is!

How First Contact With Whale Civilization Could Unfold

Embarrassing AI wish fulfillment article from The Atlantic, but I admire this project immensely. Please just figure out what they're saying and lurk before even thinking about posting. What a ridiculous idea.

The CETI and NASA aliens stuff is really just worthless to me. This is a way better use for such resources IMHO; understanding the "aliens" which are right next to us. We need to go beyond humanity and inhumanity if we are to survive. Who cares if aliens exist right now? How could we ever hope to meet them?
