Yup. I try to keep my money in cash or in the bank. Crypto is alright but it’s become a huge issue when guys who have no life skills outside hacking feel the need to assert power over others lives

Meh. Not all Indians lol

These software guys literally get paid on salary and even get time to spare, the need to fear monger and threaten to destroy people’s livelihoods when you run a huge portion of internet services just shows that they’re not exactly the type to “do no evil”

I don’t think either of them cares much about the middle east or Israel much. If anything they both look at Benjamin the same way Xi looks at the DPRK guy.

Just old upstarts with bones to pick over

Hey man, just look at China, the much darker truth is that in many parts of the world, senile old men run things, your freedom, dreams and purpose is largely meaningless to them unless they’re very close to you or you’ve shown that you also care about their freedom and the well-being of their future offspring.

For a lot of older people, a certain cynicism comes with wisdom, and you’re just like everyone else, a cog in the wheels of a big system. For America and China, where in many parts it’s essentially still a mafia state, this is even more pronounced for people that come into positions of power at an older age as they’re even more experienced at the real life equivalent to GTA politics.

The only real upside is that it’s not as bad as the middle east still but hey that’s a low bar for most that consider war and civil society to be two separate states of existence

Yeah the problem is that wide reaching policy changes is hard to sell on a country wide scale

Hmmm… I guess it’ll be a new thing, you know, new problems for old tech… Maybe some of the guys from ReactOS will find some old canonical guys to work with and build a new alternative to windows 7 for all the old computers out there. As for how they’ll make money it’ll probably be great for keeping all the old OEM’s and engineering software companies by keeping their old product lines somewhat relevant

Very strange…

Dunno, I think it’s an idea and definitely a good one but not all ideas need to be built right here, right now

Better built on the moon than on California, no guns or people to mess it up

No it’s that it hasn’t been executed properly yet, as for whether it’s an actual scam is another issue

I feel like if the structure was above the earth, somewhere in the air between two points up in the sky it might be more interesting vs helicopters and airplanes but on earth, one big crack and it’s goners

Nah you can always make new things that aren’t toasters lol just harder to be more imaginative

hmmm…

Bro, you can’t seriously expect one guy can’t fix everything. Just look at all the wars in the middle east, if China keeps their nose out of it, you don’t say a thing, but Biden says he’s hands off, you play the white burden card.

If he’s given money to Israel to sort things out, that might be on the assumption that being one of the premier democracies in the region, they’d lead by example, if he’s wrong technically he’s done nothing, he’s only given money, money being the closest thing to freedom. If shit goes down that’s for Benjamin Netanyahu to answer for, not Biden.

If anything he’s more responsible than Trump and others before him including Bush, he’s not going around planting fascist suggestions or starting wars in the middle east, he’s simply allowing truth and freedom to prevail while standing his ground.

It’s called federalism. It provides everyone the most freedom and follows both republican thinking in small government, less bureaucratic paperwork for the top, and more democratic policy making.

eg. if you live in a state where there’s a huge meth problem, but no marijuana problem it doesn’t make sense to be telling cops to keep chasing the one stoner in town or to go after some asian guy who just looks suspicious for wearing sunglasses.

Allowing for state by state discretion also means that the DEA and local police can be free to collect more targeted and detailed information to hunt who is producing more suffering.

I feel like impairment should be based on eye movement, motor movement, reaction time and focus, like how quickly you can readjust a knob to 1.1v after while someone’s eating chips or blasting a siren next to you. If your getting it done in under 1 minute your fine, but if you take over one minute to do it you may or may not be stoned as fuck, but your definitely incapacitated in some form.

I feel like if you have gone through with getting a prescription, at least you’ve shown good faith. But if you’re going to shoot someone down for following through with the legal system it’s kind of creating excuses to discriminate not on the basis of merit, but by imagined nonconformity, and that is really not the true point of either policy or law and order.

Even without de- or re-scheduling, I think the very fact that most stoners and your average casual user of marijuana is not a hardcore criminal gives people in government a bit more to think about.

If they were to allow the DEA and police to apply discretion on an individual basis, rather than simply seek to create punishment for the sake of tax dollars, you’d see our better angels shine through.

Even if you worked for the DEA, day in day out with a MDF board with pins and string lines of whose who, bank statements, phone tracking, GPS car trackers like in NCIS, and had to hunt some evil ass people/drug traffickers, terrorists and spies everyday, your average stoner guy isn’t big fish to fry.

Hell if anything, for the average guy on the street or even just a news reporter, it’s probably a joke of a case to be thrown out along with the lead investigators.

If you really wanted to find criminals just go to East Europe or the middle east and pretend to be a photographer or reporter, you’ll probably not manage to arrest a single person, and maybe even die, but you’ll sure as hell learn more about how the CIA and others in power keep accidentally creating war zones, and why both USA and China has so far done a good job to avoid getting involved in the Israel Gaza conflict.

Meh I reckon Boden at least chills, he knows that the US ain’t got shit to prove, they just do whatever they do and try not accidentally sell guns to too many of the wrong people lol
