I wish I could agree, but we’re all AI fodder. AI companies will spend us and anyone who disagrees can get fucked because money. The ownership class is going to milk this for every damn cent until they get their returns, and if that means more murder-suicides in that pursuit, well then buckle up.

Look at the stats, fentanyl has always been rarely prescribed and even more rarely prescribed compared to other opioids. The fentanyl crisis is a crisis of economics: there is less profit to be made in creating, smuggling and selling other opioids compared to fentanyl.

If you want to be accurate, doctors prescribed non-fentanyl opioids in situations where they weren’t needed, often illegally, when those prescriptions ran out, that caused a heroin crisis. That heroin crisis became a fentanyl crisis when drug dealers stopped selling heroin in favor of the cheaper and much stronger fentanyl.

Doctors aren’t prescribing, nor are they they source of, illicit fentanyl. The ease of synthesis means that clandestine labs can make a shit ton of the stuff, it’s that simple.

Doctors aren’t prescribing cocaine for the hell of it, though. Same thing with puberty blockers. Think we can trust doctors’ judgment when it comes to the drugs they prescribe.

Insurance can still payout and people can still be made whole for property that’s deemed uninhabitable. You do not have to “continue to rebuild in Florida”, but you can make sure people’s lives aren’t completely ruined as a result of natural disasters.

They know it and get off on being evil.

Yes, as everyone knows, if you accurately call out genocide when you see it, you actually want there to be genocide. You sick ghouls need to stop noticing genocide so I can go back to concern trolling in peace.

Humor is a powerful rhetorical weapon. I wouldn’t discount it.

Because it’s easy to pull a trigger to permanently silence people who might become a slight inconvenience at most.

Yeah, is the UN trying to escalate the conflict by being attacked, blown up and chemical weapon’d by Israel?

I bet that damn UN is going to get away with it too!

Federating is a vector of disease

That’s because price points exist. People will only pay so much for fast food.

Turns out wage increases don’t affect prices, just like the research has shown.

Depends on what you’re doing with it. You could get away with a SSG for some use cases, but Wordpress with plugins can get pretty crazy and out of scope for simple SSGs.

In the 2000’s, religious people would blame hurricanes on things like gay marriage.

I used to think this until I met an acidhead who would dose every weekend. Most racist person I’ve ever met and, if anything, the acid made him more racist.

Didn’t even survive for an hour lol

What do you think

Agree with your premise, but supply chains for all food are horrendous. Leafy greens are the food that are most likely to give someone food poisoning, although the diseases are usually animal waste-borne.

I thought you were paraphrasing but that’s a direct quote lol

It’s an ailment that’s endemic to HN
