Swang that thang brother, be proud of the progress. It’s not about the meat, it’s about the spirit that drives it.

“Have a nive day”

Not nice, nive, as in I hope your day is full of knives

This statement by itself restores a ton of my faith in you. I have no weight to throw around here and ultimately my opinion is more or less meaningless, but in my meaningless opinion, if an actual effort is made to improve on this then I’m happy to have you stay. A simple apology, explanation and promise is more than I’ve gotten out of 99% of all other moderators I’ve ever interacted with.

That just means it’s good satire

As it seems to me, who hung around with a lot of drug users back in the day, as well as regular folks: most people who are interested in trying them can and will get their hands on it regardless of legality, sometimes easily. It’s about as low risk of a crime as there is. Those who aren’t interested, won’t, again regardless of legality. There will be edge cases where somebody will go “Ah what the hell, it’s legal now, why not” and toddle on over to their local dispensary for the first time but largely speaking anybody that wants to smoke weed or snort coke is probably already doing it.

Now what probably would change is the number of people on record using drugs, per capita, over the next few generations if it becomes normalized like alcohol has been. Which makes sense. But, counterpoint to that, in countries where they have legalized many drugs they still often have lower rates of severe addiction because they’ve generally also set up safety nets for those folks. Accessible medical care and available addiction treatment options will keep many drug users from hitting rock bottom, but we don’t really have that in the US so many users will often go unassisted in any way for ages and lose jobs and homes because of it, only getting “help” when it becomes forced upon them by the state (which is frequently not in any way helpful).

Anyway, I’m rambling, but tl;dr it’s definitely a multifaceted situation and blanket legalization probably isn’t a great move without accompanying medical and social support, which needs to happen anyway regardless of any moves for drug legalization. Gotta walk before we can run, unfortunately.

It’s more likely than you think

Older flash bulbs weren’t really made for long uptime. If you were using your flashlight for under a minute looking for something it was fine but any longer than that and it would start getting really hot. Once manufacturers caught on that everyone was using apps for it (and potentially damaging their phone in the process due to heat) we got better bulbs and baked in controls for it.

Zefrank makes exactly the sort of content that’s required to get bored kids interested in a science. He is doing us a public service.

That word, I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Hell yeah, one of my top life goals is to get sacked by goths

Terry Pratchett’s Discworld approaches magic as a fundamental force akin to gravity or nuclear force. It even has a unit of measurement (the Thaum, further broken down into millithaums, etc)

There are a whole host of reasons you should read Discworld but this just adds another.

Extremely doubtful, I’ve seen what we’re used to paying for wages. Every company you’ve ever interacted with has a foreign team that they’re paying $2 a day for, whether that be for tech support, customer support, materials gathering/construction, or shipping.

Homeboy is dick-deep making a detailed meteorological forecast, my man’s got a mind like a steel trap

Thanks

Yeah and besides, what the fuck are the cops going to do if they did respond to it? Swim out there and catch the boat? They’d have watched it hit the bridge just like everyone else.
