  • nushell is taking the same route I think

  • Ah yes, but have you considered the gargantuan confirmation bias of anyone willing to map debunked wolf social dynamics onto humans?

  • Honestly, that feels like giving them too much credit. Chimps are fucking terrifying. The more I learn about them, the more I wonder "jesus fucking christ, how badass/insane was Jane Goodall?!". Those things are the closest things to real demons I've ever heard about.

    Edit: well, aside from particularly unhinged humans

  • Chimpanzees do, though (source). and they're closer to humans than wolves.

    The whole alpha wolf thing kind of sounds like projection.

  • I think you're being downvoted for this because, even if it's a good point in isolation, it's in the direction of "trans person bad", and thus indistinguishable from a transphobe adopting the point without believing it. You gotta include a few instances of "_____ did it really well. We need more like that." to balance it out.

  • Giving addicts free drugs is a subset of harm reduction. Honestly, at this point in the discussion, we need numbers to be productive.

  • Common sense is extremely subjective.

    Is it really more effective to not help addicts than to use harm reduction methods?

    "Facts over feels" and all that.

  • Mandatory care has the same incentive against self reporting though?

    Do we have any data on relapse rates from this vs non-mandatory methods? My guess would be high recidivism if the person is released back into the exact same circumstances in which they started using in the first place.

  • Exactly. They're addicted. They're going to get the drugs one way or another. May as well minimize the harm.

  • lmao. you've shackled yourself. Can't even reply, or it will be ruined.

  • Permanently. And "quit" seems like too light a word for the herculean task of getting clean. They deserve all the help we can give. That it essentially removes all the negative externalities should make this a no-brainer.

  • I have helix, but how's zed?

    For helix, plugins are on the way

  • Throw me a bone here. Is there like an existing reasons it sucks or do you just hate snakes?

  • Why tho
