I saw that on an article about the MiG switch before it came out and it was saying at the time that you could still fake certs and Nintendo didn’t have a monitoring system in place for it.

I’m sure they’ve changed it now though especially from that other users comment you replied to but was halfway hoping someone might tell me it was still possible.

Are you saying that increasing prices of a good or service to the point where people don’t want to pay for it anymore doesn’t contribute to a rise in black market sales and distribution of the good or service?

I think you’re mistaken.

Huh I wonder if they’ll ever figure out the correlation there…

I definitely understand that but it is quite an important nuance of the topic to discuss especially considering the USA is threatening to ban Tik Tok for this reason and yet, allows all of its American companies to do the same.

I get whataboutism and all that but when it is directly being affected by the rest of the conversation I feel like its important that the information does get talked about.

Lol gotta love all those down votes you get for telling the truth.

The state knows what’s best!

Ok but the government seems to have let it happen.

Yeah, mixing violent youths with kids who just don’t have families seems to have consequences.

I disagree with the kid being a victim though. Even a 5 year old knows and understands what death is.

See I hear you except when it becomes full on straight up murder.

And the other commenter talked about how those homes (more like facilities I have learned) the kid is in are recruitments from local gangs to get kids to kill people and go unjailed.

Maybe they shouldn’t take America’s hard-line view on kids and crime but I’d say the soft view they are using now isn’t working very well.

And so what this kid grows up into an adult and then just gets to go back into the world, having killed someone who was innocent because a gang told him too?

Sounds like its a great policy.

So he killed a dude And they sent him back to the youth home? Are they just stupid or what?

I didn’t realize it had started working again thank you!

Ravaged Just not enough to legalize regular old unlaced Marijuana. Reap what you sow.

People are starving and the world has never been closer to World War 3 and they just can’t stand the weed. Lol. What the fuck. I’m glad they lost the fight though, cat is out of the bag now and never going back in once all the old timers die off its over with.

India as a whole is like the Mississippi or Alabama of the world. You just can’t stop the men from gangraping the women its impossible. Happens every couple of weeks its insane.

It was for a credit card company and was in Europe. In the USA you would end up a convicted felon in prison for that.

I’m just waiting for it all to devolve into a kind of nonsense where they all go crazy and do a suicide pact or some shit like the Heavens Gate cult. It can’t be far behind with the delusions they spit out day after day.

Of course he will! He’s going to send more weapons any day now

Because I already see the mess and shades of gray that prohibition has caused. It didnt work well for alcohol either and now its what like 60 to 70 years later and wow, no criminal mobs or cartels control the market just rich folks. Also saying “well theyre just gonna do other stuff!!” Isnt making anything I say about regulating drugs and prostitution false.

They probably dont even sell their weed in the usa anymore you would be stupid to do that you can just buy it at significantly higher quality in most states and then even if you are in an illegsl state theres still “THCa” flower. They have to sell that shit somewhere else now. And no, they do make fake pills now laced with meth and fentanyl and they kill millions of people. Theres an approximately zero chance that they would ever be able to control legitimate manufacturers in the united states. If they could do that they wouldnt be pushing bullshit pills that kill off most of their customer base. If you legalize and regulate the drug industry suddenly there is no more cocaine and meth and ecstasy because just like regulsting the weed market did it would take the money for the united states market out of their hands they would have to focus on other cpuntries that would also rather deal with criminals rather than regulate and control these things that people will never, ever stop doing completely.

I do see how the poor person with the scratchers can be a negative for society as a whole, but if you take that freedom of the choice from people many will still choose to do it and then criminals are the only ones controlling it. I think for the prostitution to work (like it does with many tight restrictions in certain counties in Nevada) you would have to enforce safe sex practices and mandatory sti testing for ALL of the possible different ones and this can be achieved with the assloads (lol) of money legalized prostitution would be raking in. As far as the drug conversation goes I pointed that out to show you that drugs can be produced and manufactured and distributed without any criminality involved if you do it correctly. Yes, drug use can affect society negatively and that is why you would use some of the absolute mega fuckton amount of money that industry would be making and require that thr manufacturers themselves (and taxes only on the sales of those goods) are paying for increased treatment and homeless prevention and rehabilitation. I dont think you are considering the obscene amount of money these industries would make if legalized. You use a portion of that money to fix the problems behind it, much like they make tobacco companies do that right now in the us. They did that and slowly but surely tobacco smoking has gone down. Vapes are a bit different but thats another good example of how outlawing something and not regulating it correctly (pods) made the problem significantly worse now we have disposable batteries poisoning the earth because they just can not choose to regulate the things people will do no matter what. It truly dpesnt make any sense to me except from a viewpoint of absolute boot crushing control. Thats the only reason
