As a chronic masturbator I always though cum socks were a myth as tissues have been invented. You live and learn.

Not by all definitions of the word, narcotic can just mean an illegal drug. Different dictionaries define the word differently.

Really annoying how I've been downvoted for this, Merriam Webster defines a narcotic as "any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:"

A quick Google search "a drug or other substance that affects mood or behaviour and is consumed for non-medical purposes, especially one sold illegally."

Merriam Webster "any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:"

I'm a millennial, just trying to not let the world's ills bother me now. Life is too short and what you make it.

They are narcotics though by definition.

I LIKE MAGIC MUSHROOMS YOU TWATS IM JUST CORRECT

Lemmy is so fucking stubborn when presented with conflicting information. Grow up you bell ends.

You're so far gone in your cop hatred you see me as quoting the dictionary as somehow sticking up for cops. That's how polarised and shitty you are.

Don't you get them after about 10 minutes of play?

Why does investment entitle people to live off said thing? That's because there are agreements between the parties involved. If I want to start a business and need seed money I willingly enter a contract with investors just as they willingly risk their investment capital.

Of course they are more efficient, nobody sets up co operatives. If they were a more efficient way of running a business more people would do it.

Geopolitical, as in a combination of political, cultural and geographical.

I don't think noting the problem is partially political is enough to say it's easily solveable.

I think we're coming at this from a different philosophy, you see politics as something that is easily changeable, I see it as a product of environmental and cultural positions. Changing the entire world's politics is a nigh on impossible task.

You see geopolitics as a variable, I see it as a constraint on the actual variables.

Only 1 live album though. That's surprising considering.

I think there is only so much humans can change. We aren't beings of infinite moral potential and there will always be points of conflict.

I'm slightly older than you.

There is thinking there are no logistics problems we can't solve and then there is actually solving them taking into account real geopolitics.

Not at my school we weren't.

We didn't learn about Sikhism in school (actually UK here)

To play devil's advocate, isn't it always the case that the government is balancing on the right rope between keeping the economy going and keeping people alive, even without a pandemic? With NHS funding, welfare and all sorts of things government has to decide where to draw the line.

Obviously Johnson handled this crisis horrificly though, but in terms of this quote he just said the quiet part loud.

I think following this logically this won't be the case. If nobody has money then nobody can buy the products made by the AI companies. This will increase pressure for a generous UBI.

So you think human beings should change their basic hardwired nature? Obviously humans have a tendency to care for the people closest to them over complete strangers. Humans always will come into conflicts of interest. What you're asking for is for humanity to basically act perfectly all the time.

You'll forgive me for not doing that just because you've entirely missed the point of my argument.

It's clearly because we haven't had a socialist revolution. That would sort all logistical and societal problems out forever.
