Not everyone who doesn’t want to talk about politics 24/7 is far right. In fact most are not. And people can disagree with you in some political points and, guess what? they can still not be far right. People be seeing far right in their own shadows nowadays. Stalin level paranoia.

Prohibition would reduce the number of potential people in that situation. For the people that inevitably would fall into drug abuse and addiction is where social programs come into place.

All the dangers you listed for prohibition are handled by social programs, decriminalisation of users and harm reduction. Here there are many places you can go to test your drugs for free to know if they are adulterated with dangerous substances or not. No question asked.

I don’t know the waiting periods for these treatments. But they are irrelevant to prohibition/legalization, they are not going to get extra help or quicker help because hard drugs are legal.

All these being said I don’t see any single thing that’s worse here because hard drugs are illegal.

Also we have the example of tobacco. While legal here there was a time when ilegal tobacco dealing was very big, because it was cheaper. With hard drugs would happen exactly the same. Ilegal would be cheaper than legal so most points about reducing gangs and drug-dealing related crimes would be defeated.

Users are not criminalised, so they can get help. Help is free for them, and there are plenty of social programs to get them out of that world. There are free points for drug testing, so they don’t use adulterated substances. Drug related violence is not a big issue here. There’s the typical marginalised violence in some neighbourhood, but I don’t see how making drugs legal would solve anything there. The only people being prosecuted here are drug dealers, which to be fair are making money by destroying people’s life so they kinda deserve being declared criminals imho.

There would always be drug addicts, but I don’t see how situation would be made better here by legalising those drugs. By keeping them illegal at least you reduce the potential drug users who would fall into that horror.

All this for hard drugs of course. Soft drugs should be legal, for moral reasons. Here they are partially legal. There use to be some places where you could legally get weed but they are in a gray area. Anyway marijuana is so common and personal use in your own home is perfectly legal. Thought I think in this case it should get the same status as alcohol.

Any morale principle must to be able to be universally applied to be valid. This translate in not asking for others what I won’t do myself. And judging hardly those who ask for rules that don’t apply to themselves.

That simple principle can construct a lot if you develop it.

Don’t give them ideas.

I always thought that given that personal use of google street maps os free for the user. It would be really easy to just make a copy of that game for free relying on scrapping instead of api calls.

Insert chad scrapper vs virgin API user meme.

There are several issues with that.

First and foremost. Most people’s devices are not powerful enough to make any money mining any cryptocurrency.

Also a cryptominer is not “free real state” it chugs the computer. The user would have a terrible experience trying to do anything with a cryptominer on the background.

And finally, there are many free software out there. Not everything is to be monetized. Some things should just be free. I have done plenty of free things for others to enjoy, it’s not the end of the world, quite the opposite is quite rewarding.

Where I live they are. As we have universal healthcare.

We still got hit very hard by both a cocaine and heroine crisis.

Not all people who need help will seek it, even if it’s free help. A hard lesson to learn, but one you learn while living in a country why vast social programs and universal healthcare but there are still people with severe issues who just refuse to get helped.

10/10 times I would chose to fight a MMA fighter than a crazy rando who weight 45Kg and doesn’t seem to be able to walk straight.

Yeah, I know. I have my struggles in life. In my country disposable income and quality of life for the working class have been in constant decline for years (even with a socialist/communist government). But after so many years in politics, I found out that letting it consume me doesn’t change anything. I do what I can do to be better, but the rest of the time I focus in my life. It’s already hard enough by itself to making it harder by letting it consume all my mental focus.

Is it really so many banned people? I thought most of us were here voluntarily due not liking reddit policies. I have my reddit account, I just don’t use it.

It’s not like tariffs are going to disappear only if people talk about them 24/7.

Not expending all your mental energy in thinking about it and just enjoying life, hobbies and other topics is probably one of the best things you can do. Why do you think orange guy makes the statements he make. It’s not because he is stupid (even if you want to think he is stupid) is because he knows his opposition gets triggered by it. And if you are constantly thinking about it you’ll destroy your mental health and the mental health of those around you. Exhaustion is their goal.

I’m luckily not American, but I’ve gone through my share of idiotic rulers. And my best advice is not letting your life to orbit around them. They will come and go, but the years you lose thinking about them all the time don’t come back. Talking to Americans nowadays is disheartening seeing how many stress people are taking and how they move into more stress instead of trying to disconnect and move away from it.

Just live life.

Politics need to be contained to their own communities. Propaganda everywhere (even if it’s propaganda that confirm your own views) drive people away.

Good moment to ask how is Victoria 3

It’s very lightweight, any toaster could run a single user searxng instance.

Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never believe he is the character I always see an actor trying to portrait a character. Like with other actores I can believe I am seeing something that happened. With DiCaprio I’m always aware that I’m watching an actor doing a performance.

I don’t know if that makes a lot of sense. But it’s one of the few “good” actor that makes me feel this way.

I’m not paying for my self hosted searxng and I have more control over my search than any kagi user.

Of course. I stand on high moral ground when I chose to pirate.

Economy is broken and anti-consumer. Piracy if the only way I know to balance things of. If I wouldn’t be pirating I would just be letting those economic bullies take advantage of me.

And specially with cultural products there’s another big reason, as I think human culture is to be shared, not sold. I do actually think is inmoral to prevent other humans to freely access anything that could be considered cultural.

I still think going to war is worse than watching some news about whatever on the tv or tiktok.

Btw, mental health issues are not on the rise. Diagnosis is on the rise. Before those same mental health issues existed and were undiagnosed and untreated, with terrible consequences. At least kids today are getting the help they need with mental health.

Good luck in the 80s trying to go to a doctor for anxiety, or to get any kind of mental health diagnosis or treatment as a kid.

And let’s not even mention the constant house violence against kids that used to happen. Boomers and gen x were wildly beaten by their parents as a normal practice. Nowadays parents no longer hit their kids.

Child protection laws are way better in every way, many kids are no longer forced to stay with abusive families…

And of course there is a world in difference for an LGBT kid in the 80s compared to now.

I sincerely don’t think there is any reasonable approach to defend that today kids “have it worse” than previous generation.

“Big sponge” have us all in their pocket.

My toothbrush head actually starts developing black patches overtime of what I asume is my own bacteria setting in in the brush. Mostly in cavities hard to reach for a normal cleaning.

For me boiling easily removes those dark patches. It is true that they come back faster than the time they took to appear the first time. Put it peaces my mind and I’m still alive after all this time.

Funnily enough I stopped using washing sponges in the shower and start washing myself only with my hand because someone told me that sponges were bacterial paradise. And to be true I found out that I really don’t need a sponge to clean myself.

This is like Nostradamus for me. I don’t want to update and deal with potential breaks.
