Comparison is the thief of happiness.

I've found that by just focusing on what I have/can do and being content, I am generally very happy.

He probably doesn't want to come back and NK probably is happy to have him. He was facing assault charges and he can probably live an ok life as a propaganda piece for NK.

Yeah, but those are metric bits so they are a little bit smaller.

I'm not really familiar with this, but can you share the spore print? Seems like it would be cool to see.

Agreed. If the credentials in their second comment were what qualified the statement in the first comment, why did they sign the first comment "licensed psychologist", a title that doesn't inherently qualify someone to speak to the pharmacological question.

Interesting, I could only see the cover photo. I don't see any way to expand an album or view the others. Thanks for the link.

Agreed. Comments should only be valued as much as their inherent value in the eyes of the reader, or through the reputable sources they cite. Claimed external qualifications are pointless.

The hardened Firefox profile sounds interesting, I've never heard of that. I'll look in to it!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

It seems disingenuous to separate number of arrests from "actual frequency" when the data suggests that the ballot initiative actually made things worse. The lead researcher behind the study shows their bias with their conjecture:

"The study also looked at arrest rates for curfew violations, loitering, vagrancy, trespassing and disorderly conduct. Davis said arrests for those categories increased in Oregon after Measure 110 took effect but said there isn’t evidence to suggest the frequency of those offenses actually increased.

“I personally think it’s probably more … that the cops are like, ‘Well, I can’t arrest you for the drugs, but I told you to move along and you didn’t. So I’m giving you a ticket for that,’” Davis said."

They can say that despite the data, they think actual frequency of those offenses haven't increased, but equally valid to their gut feeling is the anecdotal evidence that homeless activity has greatly increased and most car lots now have 12ft. tall electric fences.

This doesn't look very appealing.

I wasn't super clear on the subject, so I did a bit of googling. It doesn't look like any of the subjects in the second comment are required courses for a psychology degree. Apparently a psychologist isn't a medical doctor and can't prescribe medication. I don't think that saying they are a psychologist would give any indication that they are qualified to speak to the subject.
