I mean yea, non consenting chemical alteration of someone’s mental state is a messed up thing, accidental or not. For someone not expecting it, or not used to it, you will likely think you’re sick. That could be distressing. It could be dangerous if that person were, say, headed off to work (nurse, doctor, crane operator, taxi driver, office worker on commute), or had been avoiding cannabis due to family history of psychosis, or has a damaged immune system and now fears they’ve caught something, we also feed pizza to kids.
Most probably nothing grim will come of this, and the jokes are fine I think, but we all should understand that this is serious.
What if I want to get sick?
Here in Canada the last government is asked first, if there is no clear majority anyway.
This “loser” language bothers me because it perpetuates a most seats = government idea that simply doesn’t exist in parliamentary systems. At least not the ones I’m familiar with. You’ve only really “lost” if you can’t pass a confidence motion. Is this different in the Austrian context?
Ugh, now all I can afford is “not me” to install them. Not experts that’s for sure.
(this is not a joke, not really).
No, I have a lot of experience in liberal organizations and they are not, despite the memes, closer to conservatism than progressivism. It honestly makes me feel like most people on lemmy have never really worked with liberal groups.
The major differences between a liberal and a social democrat or progressive comes down largely to deciding when a market has failed and when to use government intervention, both Liberals and progressives are fine with intervention, only the threshold changea. We want the same things, mostly, but disagree on how to get them.
Conservatives, philosophical Conservatives anyway, won’t typically even consider such a thing, and often do not even want the same things as Liberals or progressives.
This both sides same stuff just hurts progressive causes, because it sours mushy people with little to no real philosophy on voting for liberal parties. Those people flip flop back to Conservatives when they get angry and we lose the progress we’ve made, as is about to happen in Canada.
I know that conflating Liberals and Conservatives is practically lemmys official pass time, but I have to point out they are not the same.
Fantastic

I wondered if the study looked at the rise of douche bro influencers over the same time period.
It does not seem to investigate it, study here: https://iris.who.int/bitstream/handle/10665/378547/9789289061155-eng.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
You’ll enjoy the podcast for sure. Give it a listen.
I like behind the bastards, you get to learn the history of both living and dead ass holes in some good detail.
If I want a laugh at pop culture, the weekly planet is my go to, it’s funny chat about comic books, movies and comic book movies. Plus the back catalogue is huge so chances are they’ve had an episode about something you’ve liked. I just really like laughing at things I’ve enjoyed.
Also check out debunking a murderer. Remember making a murderer on Netflix? Turns out that doc was bullshit, dude totally did those murders. Hear the prosecutors side and all the evidence the Netflix show left out.
Finally, slow burn. A long format episodic deep dive into recent history. Each season covers some important events, like Nixon, tupac and biggie, Bill Clinton, etc. I learned a lot from it.
Why stay awake when your supreme court buddies are going to let you go anyway?
Yes but now he can be even more explicit about it, put it right in official communications.
Conservatives have been working towards installing their king for decades. Now they have it.
Bad news for everyone.
Who is that going to be, I’ve not seen any polls that show potential candidates doing better.
They delayed releasing the decision long enough to ensure the lower court couldn’t consider it while there was time. Everything the supreme Court has done is to Trumps benefit because they’re true believers setting up a kingdom for him.
Even just a panicked 911 call followed by a huge bill you aren’t insured against. What a disaster that could be for someone.
