Yes, the crime was horrendous. But if society just gives up on the idea of rehabilitating criminals that’s not going to bring anyone back. It’s just going to hurt more people unnecessarily, innocent and otherwise.

Obviously the murderer should not be released until they are adequately rehabilitated (if they ever are). But in a just society prisons are for rehabilitation.

And what exactly does voting third party do about the genocide, other than put Donald “Finish the Job” Trump into office?

I always loved the Kokiri Forrest in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It’s so cozy, so quaint. I just wanna live there in real life, but with like internet and videogames and stuff.

Nah, that’s a real thing. Usually your finishes its final maturing phase around 25-30. Ofcourse your brain is still developing (and deteriorating) for the rest of your life, but at that point it’s much slower.

But where are they going to have access to their vape that they don’t have access to their phone? Do most 15 yr olds have the disposable income to spend (probably) twice as much for something disposable anyway?

In my experience most of the non-disposable options are either super bulky or just shitty build quality. Pods that leak, or burn out super quickly. Vapes that just stop working or break super quickly. Incredible inconsistency in where/what pods are available.

None of these are insurmountable problems, but as of right now most companies seem uninterested in making a better product.

It’s still plenty wasteful, but the most environmentally impactful part is throwing away the battery. If the battery isn’t disposable you’ve gotten rid of a large chunk of the problem.

I’d consider this a plus. They’re not going to keep manufacturing these just so teenagers can buy them on a grey/black market. Teenagers will still be able to get their hands on vapes, but less consistently.

It’s time to bring back tobacco pipes.

Who the fuck does that even appeal to?

He’s admitting to brutally oppressing people. Unfortunately, there are enough hateful/stupid people in the (heavily gerrymandered) key voting districts, it doesn’t matter.

You know what they fuckin meant, ya dweeb.

Nah that’s was like 40 years ago now /s

I mean, block chain does have some actual uses, definitely more niche than LLMs though.

That makes sense. It isn’t really super different from a Cincinnati style five way.

Realistically like $35/hr. Honestly I probably make a lot more than that for the company I work for. Considering the abysmal hours with absolutely no consistency, that should add atleast another 10$/hr.

A couple of years ago my (now ex, for urelated reasons) partner got ahold of some molly. I was pretty new to drugs, but trusted her to keep me safe. We tested a small portion of it, and it came back clean. That night we took it with us to some club and did some lines in the bathroom.

Unfortunately, I was unaware that the chemicals in those test kits have expiration dates, and no one had ever explained the chocolate chip cookie effect to me. Either we just missed the chunk that had fentanyl in it, or those expired tests just weren’t accurate, but either way I ended up overdosing.

I’m told my heart stopped for about ten minutes. Fortunately for me, the boyfriend of one of the performers had narcan with him. I had collapsed in front of the bar, and woke up laying in the parking lot with a bunch of strangers crowding around me. My partner ended up bundling me into the car and driving me home. I’m pretty sure I ended up with some brain damage. Years later though, I feel like I’m pretty much recovered, fortunately.

Just fat enough 😋

Welcome to two party systems. The only way out is to abolish FPTP voting, the electoral college and (In the case of local/state elections) gerrymandering.

The whole comment section too.
