I think this article is aimed at Americans who generally have a shitter deal than we do here when in a minimum wage job. But yea, still not good enough.

Spoken like a true Stockholm syndrome Windows user.
Damn dude. Your response was far more eloquent than what I was cooking up. Thank you.
First time I’ve been sad that Lemmy doesn’t have karma like “the other place” used to.
Yea, I meant we don’t tip in Britain as a matter of course but sure if I’ve received excellent service I might. I am a bit of a tight-arse though, not going to lie, so it’s rare.
One more reason I would hate to live in America. In Britain we don’t give tips.
I sure do hope so
It’s increasingly rare all over. Rolling your own is cheaper but not by much these days. I always preferred the taste of self rolled when I did smoke but most smokers I’ve found, wherever you go, would prefer to smoke pre-rolled if they can
Keeping opiates illegal just causes the exact problems you’re discussing with the other substances, if not more. Opiates are addictive and potentially dangerous yes. So are most drugs, even the ones you mentioned. Yes it could be argued psychedelics are less harmful, there’s no real risk of overdose and minimal risk of addiction. I’d also rather live in a world where those are legalised if that’s all, rather than the one I’m in now where my country denies cancer patients cannabis but millions of tax payer’s pounds are wasted policing idiots drunk in alcohol every week. But let’s not pretend psychedelics are completely harmless.
Acting like so called “hard” drugs are some kind of black magic powders where one time trying them will have you hooked for life, ready to sell your own Mother as minced beef just to get your next hit is the same crap people used to say about the other drugs you’ve listed, including weed. Plenty of people consume them and lead productive lives.
Consenting adults shouldn’t be stopped from putting anything they want to into their own bodies. It’s called freedom.
If I start repeatedly slamming my own head into a wall, an action that could eventually kill me, as long as I own that wall or have the permission of the wall owner and I’m not getting noise complaints from the neighbours I can legally do it as much as I like.
But I can’t legally take the risk of accidentally overdosing on fentanyl. Despite the fact that legalising the drug would mean I can get my hands on product produced in labs which are licensed and vetted so I can see the strength of the substance and be fairly certain of its purity, making overdose infinitely less likely.
What kind of sense does that make?
Damn straight. But sadly weed is is still illegal in most countries, including France
Either that or you just don’t like garlic bread. Or both.
Can we all please appreciate the ridiculousness of this stock image? The guy and girl have full plates and glasses and the waitress is holding her closed pad as if she’s about to write something down.
I call AI!
You can do that you know, call AI on stuff. I’m going to do it all the time now.
This is the beginning. Soon weed shall be legal in all of Europe. And I won’t be able to enjoy it because I live in the UK 🤦♂️
Made it to July. I don’t go out much so not a big surprise. Knew it would happen. Girl I was seeing tested positive but said I could still come over to have sex. Had sex, caught covid. Stayed at home til I tested negative. Totally worth it.
I have Home Assistant on one and Kodi (Libreelec) on another
Yea, the logical next step is sadly for the streaming services to just buy the ISPs with the amount of money they have and lobby so they can block Torrent, Usenet and VPN traffic to stop piracy. Most people will keep paying for the services whilst there’s signs of this happening because they actually believe all the “you wouldn’t steal a car, so why would you steal the 9th shitty Star Wars spin off series” propaganda. Then they’ll block porn tube sites too, for the children of course. The first one to do it will get all of the Christians on-side immediately who will accuse the others of being evil and allowing such awful filth so the others will quickly follow suit. After time passes I’m sure they’ll bring out their own almost porn type content that will prove very popular. I could be wrong, but it’ll be interesting to see how things turn out.
He’s a chiiiiiiiild molester…
