whoever the Army sides with will win in hours.

And what if the army splits in two? That happens in civil wars ya know!

I really don’t see… …why someone with Chinese roots would do it

Tankies hate the West. Psychotic nationalists are capable of all sorts of dumb.

What distribution are you on?

Chat GPT is great at writing comments. Usually writes better comments than I do. I’m using copilot which uses Chat GPT so it’s also repo aware.

Does it? Quietly hand a note to the bank teller that says: “this is a robbery, put $10000 in a bag”, then calmly walk out when they give it to you.

One could argue that there was violence implied, but that doesn’t mean that violence was used.

Right… Like: “it’s not a bank robbery if you don’t use a gun!”

I’m assuming this is about the British? If that’s the case then I say a hands off approach because it would be interesting to see if they develop any culinary skills. Who knows, maybe if their society evolves enough, they might even be capable of participating in economic trade with others. Stranger things have happened.

One or more people on the board were upset with Sam pushing Open AI towards a “for profit” business model because they wanted to be all altruistic and not paywall things. But they were completely ignorant of the expensive reality of their tech (look up the tons of articles about Open AI burning through money) and after firing Sam, likely got a rude awakening from people in the company showing them the books. Once they realized their out of business in less than a year if they don’t monetize things, suddenly Sam’s ideas aren’t so bad and they know they just fucked the entire company over.

I think the way most Germans have owned the mistakes of Germany past, instead of trying to deny or ignore them, is an example that should be applauded and emulated by the rest of the world.

You done got whooshed 😂

It was totally justifiable! We had to end the war cuz hockey season was about to start.

Thanks for the great response

all our stuff went through the lab - so we knew what actually was in there.

I too was friends with an organic chemist. We were luckier than most to have that kind of insight available

Are shrooms a white powder? Pretty sure I clearly singled out white powders. I guess other parts of my comment might make it sound like an absolute blanket statement, but I shouldn’t have to reiterate that condition in every sentence.

As in OP?

You’re not seriously asking for a buff are you?

Great points, and I agree with legalization as well as decriminalization (despite only listing the latter in my first comment).

My edit regarding weed was simply because it just doesn’t belong in the same category as “the white powders”, which are destructive on a whole other level.

My down votes are indicative of the denial that too many drug users exhibit.

Those types are likely desperate to believe that they’re living gods that are better than anyone else, and snorting cocaine on top of naked women supports that fantasy. So one could say they are escaping the painful reality that they are just another insecure selfish douche bag.

don’t suffer any problems from it, and don’t do anyone any harm.

This right here is called denile. Nobody rocking some form of white powder is doing so without causing harm somewhere. Sure, maybe that’s the case because they are just getting started and their frequency of usage has yet to become problematic, but given time, the white powders will take over. As well, there are a ton of people who just enjoy drugs will swear up and down that they are in control and don’t have a problem, so again, denile.

I’m pro decriminalization because it reduces harm but your comment is pure ignorance.

EDIT Just to clarify, my comment is not aimed at weed

EDIT 2 add shrooms to the not so harmful list

EDIT 3 I find it ironic that someone else posted this today: https://lemmy.world/post/7421035

Hamas kidnapped some American citizens and is holding them in Gaza. The US would likely prefer to attempt any rescue themselves or at least assist in any attempts.

Not a movie, but if you want scary you should try browsing real estate websites, the prices are truly horrific.
