If you can find a strain that’s a mix of THC/CBD/CBG - that worked really well for me to stay functional.

Until recently this was the state of affairs, now there’s a bunch more court stuff happening:

“People need to understand, ICE officers and Border Patrol don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them”

Yin and Yang

Gnosticism is about pursuing gnosis; not already possessing it. Achieving gnosis is the goal of the gnostic, just as achieving communism is the goal of the communist.

What a banger line.

Fwiw I really appreciate the way in which you present your thoughts. I’m completely in agreement with your take on religion, as well as your understanding of Marx and his contemporaries regarding this issue, and also your use of terminology.

probably because Japan has 47 prefectures

It does thin out the friendlist fast if employed right.

And if applied really right - you get to keep the same list of much better friends.

yep, they were supposed to be the leaders in guiding the underdeveloped ones through a more sustainable route of industrialization for everybody’s sake. but instead first they outsourced all the damages to the Global South, and now they’ve just reverted back to the narratives of “green coal” and building more LNG terminals at home.

much of this reflects a shift in timelines from 2030 to 2035, rather than any stronger policy action

Cuba got what it deserved because of “everything they’ve done

all these leaders think they can do what they want, they do not help the people

I also hate it when my government provides me with a longer life, complete with free education, healthcare, and housing.

My young aunt then said something about how all leaders are bad

All diseases are bad, but we respond to colds, cancers and plagues differently.

Letting out men aged 18-22 was a really smart play by the government. These are the people who were underaged back in February 2022, and it would’ve been a very heavy mental ask for their parents to switch from the mindset of “I need to protect my children from the war” to a “my grown adults need to protect me” one. This would’ve been the prime audience for a civil uprising.

In addition it creates the pressure of a fresh influx of immigrants to EU countries, of underqualified men at that, the most vilified category that fuels anti-immigrant sentiment. This is bound to shift the attitude of Europeans towards all the refugees they took in so far, and already Germany polls at 62% in favor of sending conscription-aged men back to Ukraine. If they actually manage to get the 25+ ones back at the cost of losing the youngest slice - that’s millions of fresh recruits without pushing the boundaries of what Ukrainians at home can tolerate by further lowering conscription age.

It was also stated that the welfare state represented paternalism. With that my professor told us that the libertarian in him does not need the state to be his daddy. I made note of this because I thought you would all find it a bit entertaining and a little odd.

I can attest that you thought correctly c:

The economy is healthy when nobody uses money

Economics teachers, apparently.

So I can’t agree that he forms a pipeline

Well, here’s his yearly viewer census.

do I want to medicate myself? But that’s going to change me. I don’t want to be changed by pharmaceuticals. I don’t even drink coffee because I don’t like things fucking with the chemistry in my head

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking in the same exact line. Long story short - would you say that a person that’s hard of hearing is betraying their nature by wearing hearing aids? A poor sighted one by wearing glasses? Or a paraplegic, with prosthetics?

ADHD means your brains are probably both lacking and leaking neurotransmitters. Fixing that will make your life more manageable. On the off chance that you’re lucky and meds are effective for you - absolutely give them an honest try.

survived somehow

And that’s the only thing that matters. Anything else can change in the most unpredictable ways, as long as you’re around to experience it c:

users being able to tune the model to work the way they want is somehow a negative
