Cannabis as a whole is federally regulated.

Imo the only actually divisive opinions are around tipping.

What’s this!? Complexity in your opinions!? Don’t 100% agree or disagree on something based on a 3-5 word sentence?! Straight to jail.

Don’t underestimate the power of social capital.

I’m ok with them harming some innocent people in the process of killing themselves. Greater good.

Sometimes violence is the answer.

Naw, I’m down with exploiting others for personal gain but I simply lack the capital to do so in the same way as the ultra rich.

I’m not going to pretend every low income person is some ethical ideal, because I sure as fuck aren’t.

And that’s why like laws and shit are needed to prevent that exploitation or whatever.

Yes, I always save my own copy of any content I wish to keep.

I already have that with digital media though. I don’t do subscriptions.

I can think of anything in Europe, but it could technically be the Phillipines too if we are just going off the $ symbol.

It does not exist in the vast majority of the world. But yeah there are stupid tipping expectations in Canada and a few other places too.

I feel the logical conclusion is to just destroy all human created content entirely to avoid being exploited by corporations. But that may not be a reasonable solution.

It would be like an artist refusing to record or perform their music for fear of someone else making money from it or copying the style.

Yeah, but then idiots felt it was too invasive, so now Google just collects the same amount of data or more… but without as much benefit to the user.

It means ‘hey I’m here’ in SE Asia and it works effectively for that. Loud, annoying…but it does accomplish something.

TIL what a sheepfold is.

Yep. And I’d argue it’s an almost ethical responsibility for those aware of all this to preserve a media archive via piracy. Sort of like those monks that would repeatedly copy old scrolls before they would degrade or whatever.

Mistakes literally never have happened so far though.

But yeah, I’d probably get out of the water myself. Or just do something really dumb looking so it was clear I was human.

This is a sailboat though isn’t it? It’s not like a billionaire mega yacht (unfortunately).

K so…don’t hire them?

There are as many or as few races as we decide to make up at any given time. There is no scientific basis for drawing an objective line between racial groups. And ‘mixed race’ people like me just fuck it up more and more as time goes on.
