It’s a broad generalization

Yes, it is. And imagine doing that for any other group, dividing then into two very opposing stereotypes.

Most drug dealers are literally just regular people. Nothing to it.

How does it feel like, seeing only black and white?

Oh, that’s a throwback. The internet and “nerd culture” used to be somewhat more exclusionary now that I reminisce a bit.

Donating your body to science is not the same as donating it to be sold on the open market.

In the US, it pretty much is the exact same thing though.

Yeah well… “giant” ants still aren’t lion sized. Or even cat size. Perhaps “oh wow that’s a big ant” big, but not actually that… big.

The fossils indicate that the males grew up to 3 centimetres (1.2 in) and the queens grew to 7 centimetres (2.8 in). It had a wingspan of about 16 centimetres (6.3 in).[7][8]

Comply?

“Is there some way it just doesn’t need to” = “Is there some scenario in which Texas laws don’t apply worldwide?”

Yes. There is.

The shit older women said (and did) to me when I drove a cab in my twenties.

Also, not wanting to fuck someone, even if they’re somewhat attractive.

So to be accurate we should call it “freebase cocaine” and not “crack”.

I agree with you. Unfortunately most drug users I know (both recreational and problem users) aren’t too strongly into prescriptive language use.

Not to judge you or anything, as I really don’t, but I think it’d be more accurate to say “crack”, as in order to smoke cocaine, you’d have to freebase it. And freebase cocaine is crack.

When consumed, cocaine can be found in two primary forms:

A water-soluble hydrochloride salt, which is typically snorted

“Crack” cocaine, a water-insoluble base form that is smoked

That being said I’ve inhaled a few hundred euros a night at times as well so again, no judgment. I’m just pedantic.

Seeing the bathroom related comments.

I have my own personal sauna.

In a cheap rental apartment.

Also a built-in bidet.

These things can be said for practically all Finnish apartments built this millenia. Buildings built before the 90’s, on the other hand… Personal saunas were a bit rarer and apartment buildings would just have one large one you could reserve hours on. Sometimes free sometimes for a marginal fee.

But yeah. I think some might consider that a luxury, I guess.

Societal apathy and low wages snd poor rights, were what I wss thinking about.

They would be horrified at how bad it’s got and they’d start figuring out how the bourgeoisie managed so well to subdue the working classes.

Then they’d tell us they’re not mad at us, just disappointed.

Then we’d get drunk and I’d help teach them the wonders of the internet, and they’d be far more disappointed in us, because we have literally uncensorable global communications and could actually organise almost the entire planet if there really was the will.

Keys, wallet, phone

Correct

If a monopoly is enforced by the government

Planned economies are shit, yes.

The things that people hate most about capitalism are the times when it breaks down into a centrally-controlled market. ie when it stops being capitalism.

Rofl “capitalism stops being capitalism as soon as its flaws show”

A free market is one in which only the actual price and quality of tje product matter. When a capitalist company, which has loads of capital, decides to “compete” in a “free market” (by your definition), it’s not even a competition, because the huge company with shitloads of capital can skew the actual price. McD could literally pay people to get hamburgers from them so long as to shut down a single competitor. That’s not a free market. So ironically only well regulated markets are “free”.

Market socialism. Proper regulation. Actual competition.

Capitalism at it again. Or still.

I was locked up for 3-4 days in Finland for weed.

Jail =/= prison.

like tasting booze for hobby purposes is different than having a drink…

Weeeeell, it’s a better excuse, innit?

• I used to brew beer as well and going completely dry when there’s delicious homebrews in the fridge isn’t as easy as when there are none.

I’ve never even seen one in real life.

Granted they’re probably made of something that’s regulated here so…

Yeah, knew it;

The EU requires warning labels on artificial dyes. And countries like Austria, Finland and Norway don’t even take the chance of putting Twinkies on their shelves. Read about Yellow 5 dye and the horrible health effects here.

(such a spammy site no point linking the source I sure that can be checked somewhere else)

Yes you have.
