I'm currently at hour 47 of only beers, no food and no water. Can't say I'd recommend it.

So wait, did you wish her the pain or no?

Sounds like something the people on top would say to ensure I work more hours.

Until the idiots all complained about it being 'creepy'. Ever since the tracking completely continued, but no longer with any benefit to us.

Great job idiots. Why people just don't opt not to use features they find 'creepy' I'll never understand. They are only satisfied if they bring it down for everyone.

Agreed. Also genetic heritage. I literally didn't have any choice in any of it. And to pretend my genetic heritage is somehow something to be more proud of than any other genetic is literally racist.

This applies to all races equally.

This is true. What I'm saying is I respect the willingness to 'do it anyway' attitude.

Canada didn't leave the UN.

Would be cool if they said fuck you to the EU.

People kept worrying about Canada breaking a UN rule but Canada said fuck it and did it anyway.

Did this actually happen to you? I've been to, and even smoked weed in (discreetly), Germany many times as a tourist without issue. It was just annoying that it was technically illegal...but no one ever attempted to drug test me or ask me about drug use at all.

Is this real legalization like in Canada, or fake legalization like most other places?

If a tourist can't buy it from a store, fly to a different city/state domestically with it, and then smoke it at a designated airport smoking area outside the terminal... I struggle to see that as full 'legalization'.

If you are prohibited from doing all those things, it just seems like a different version of prohibition. Step in the right direction though, sure.

But... alcohol should be legal, no? Despite the harm it causes, prohibition simply does not work.

Cannabis can also cause harm (albeit less harm than alcohol) but should also still be legal. And other drugs like fentanyl (arguably) cause more harm than alcohol...but should also be legal.

Prohibition is literally never a realistic solution to any drug or drug problems. Not a single country has ever had success.

Dealerships are literally the worst place to take a vehicle for a repair. They are in the car selling business, not the car fixing business.

At which point they hire a good lawyer and thus continue to use money to fix anything.

60% of the time it works every time.

Tipping landlords makes the same amount of sense as tipping dentists or food servers: none.

I struggle to see Japan as a bastion of freedom lol. Fun place to visit for sure, but between the archaic drug laws and suicide forests I'm not sure they are a society others should be modeling themselves after.

I was in a sauna at +95 Celsius for several minutes the other day. And within the same week I felt -35 Celsius cold on my bare skin.

Both could kill me provided a bit more exposure, but they don't instantly. Meanwhile, +4 Celsius can also cause death by hypothermia pretty easily in the right circumstances.

So, while I like the idea, I think implementation will be hard as there is no clear death number on either end of the spectrum. Not to mention humidity, clothing, exertion, level of hydration, etc...

The freezing point of water seems a hell of a lot more relevant to what humans consider 'cold'...which is why it's the zero. The boiling point of water isn't the zero in Celsius after all.

Also 'cold' as a concept is often represented with symbols related to frozen water such as snow flakes and icicles.

Do you have an alternative solution? And what would you propose as a reasonable population cap? 10 billion? 100 billion? 100 trillion?

Capitalism ruins itself.
