  • Yeah but like the thing that causes addiction is poverty (or some other unmet needs or trauma) so it doesn't really matter.

  • I'm just gonna come out and say what other people seem to be dancing around. These are things that a trans man would say. Not saying that's necessarily the case for you but like it's probably worth trying to find someone affirming and professional to discuss dysphoria with.

  • Edit: don't see the problem anymore.

  • That's because they stole the term from anarchists

  • Oh sure, it's a fine tactic, it's just the end goals of the people exercising the power and the amount of it they have that I take issue with.

  • People forget so quickly that USAID is an acronym and AID doesn't mean "aid" it means "development". USAID was a tool of soft power and international manipulation towards exploitation.

  • Oops we accidentally cut earth like a big wheel of cheese

  • The privileges of the upper class of a segregated society are hardly universal.

  • There are a lot more problems in trying to create the infrastructure to enforce sanctioned uses of any readily accessible technology than there is in the use of said tool. The people who want to do the most harm inevitability wind up in the oversight position, while society tends to create enforcement mechanisms at a social, interpersonal level organically already.

  • Honestly we should recognize how bad it was for them to use "don't be evil" in the first place. It was a tacit admission of the power and temptation to evil they were and should have never built.

  • Yeah, drugs aren't a good coping mechanism for trauma in general?

  • I don't use, personally, though I have had opiates for acute pain as most people have. I'm just not a judgemental asshole. Opium isn't the problem, fent is.

  • Poverty and trauma makes peoples faces gaunt and haggardly and destroys lives. Heroin addiction is one of many other potential symptoms of poverty and trauma. Plenty of people use opiates and opioids medically and recreationally to no ill effects. The drugs are a comfortable scapegoat for people who care more about maintaining their personal status quo than the ability for other people to survive.

  • If you turn them upside-down you can use them to make stuff cold also.

  • People know you're full of shit and just an asshole

  • Yeah that comment took a surprisingly dark turn. I expected it to be something about survivorship bias leading people to do more stupid shit because they've been so protected they haven't had to face danger, but like..."oh see what happens when we don't kill off those people"?? Wtf how do you get there

  • I would think putting /bin and /lib on the fastest thing possible would be nice 🤷

  • A lot of them will just come unbolted with a regular torx wrench, from what I hear.

  • I feel like I get it now. Of course it's bad that the us does this. It seemed so obvious I didn't think that would be the point
