You know:

To say there is no problem with heavy drugs in America and most of Europe would be a denial of reality. You have fentanyl killing a record high number of Americans and in decriminalized areas like The Netherlands you see the degragading effects on society with homelessness and needles laying around the parks and on the streets. You also see this on the west coast and other places in America.

Then you have places like Singapore where the drug problem seems relatively controlled if you're willing to stomach it when it's your loved one who gets the long sentence or hanged if they happen to be caught drug smuggling. Seems like many of the ones who end up being executed are people from the west and from the perspective of the native of these countries the harsh penalties are not so difficult to bare, especially when the lawbreakers come to your country and add to the problem for residents to bare when the punishments are well known to those willing to risk it. No amount of money could possibly be worth dying over. A person might find these penalties to be distasteful or even amoral, admittedly while I do not fall into this camp I at least have sympathy towards that way of thinking.

Well these people might say that penalties and the payoff are rarely considered by the people who end up being caught, at least not before the crime is committed. They'd argue other reasons find them in this nightmarish situation of being caught and finding yourself facing a death sentence for doing something that in the west might not result in more jail time than a year with a good attorney. Or possibly none at all.

It almost seems too fantastical to imagine a livable place where people are allowed the freedom to decide whether to do or not do the drugs in a society where people practice a true form of freedom. Consequences for using such things would be the effects of the drugs themselves which can far outweigh any other considerations.

"No, he’s not going to be president, that I can tell you,” Trump said. “And I’m safe. You know why he can’t be? He wasn’t born in this country.”

My POV. If I (or any colleagues) declared anything even close to this in our classes it would be game over. Permanently. The rest of the year would be a BATTLE for recovery and control.

If an overweight person makes fun of their own weight and a skinny person gets offended, is it justified for the overweight person to be offended over the skinny person feeling the need to be offended.

I asked an AI to shorten my original details so this post made not sound like me.

ok so I think I said this before in my old account but when I was a kid my mom used to run a side hustle selling women’s underwear and lingerie. Since we didn’t have a storefront, she’d either sell at home or go to customers’ places, and I’d tag along to help carry the merchandise.

obviously clients were always women, mostly in their 20s and older. I vividly remember how they’d casually strip down to try on bras and panties, asking each other stuff like, “Does this fit? does it make my boobs perkier? does it make my ass look bigger? you Think my man would like it?” and rarely cared that I was there; others might point it out, but they’d brush it off, saying things like, “He’s just a kid; it’s fine,” or even tell me directly, “is ok honey, you don’t need to look away.”

anyways unlike the typical American, I didn’t grow up feeling weird about nudity. But now as an adult, thinking back, it’s got me questioning. Its like now those moments feel connected to the way modern feminists sometimes use public nudity as a form of “empowerment.” Whether it’s women in protests today stripping down for attention or those in the 60s burning bras, there’s this pattern of framing nudity as liberation.

Looking back, I wonder since my mom’s customers did not see me as a threat that they probably were using my presence to feem empowered themselves Consciously or not, since they might’ve been feeding off the idea of being seen but thought there werent gonna be any consequences since I was a kid. its like the dots are suddenly connecting now.

In my personal opinion, I think the answer is blatantly no. That’s not to put women down but it’s just saying it how it is. Women graduate far more than men and still, all the richest women in the world got their from marriage or divorce. I would argue women have more opportunity than men and are favoured, even though they don’t build the entire world.

"You know, the — they're on a new kick, Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, all the different hoaxes," the president-elect continued. "The new one is President Trump has ceded the presidency to Elon Musk. No, no, that's not happening. But Elon's done an amazing job."

Trump praised Musk's business ventures before returning to the subject of the presidency.

"But no, he's not going to be president that I can tell you," he insisted. "And I'm safe. You know why? He can't be."

"He wasn't born in this country. Ha, ha, ha. But the fake news knows that."

(By the way, the bill Musk got killed included requirements that he not pass secrets to China and the Trump transition team are refusing to use secure communications; their emails.)

We are the most vile, greedy, hateful, and disgusting species that has ever existed on this planet

Which is it?

*Women who have less than 100,000 followers, that is.

Also, if a man has a woman followed and it has been more than 48-72 hours, he will be required to either unfollow or use the auto-unfollow system.

Do they actually deter crime? Do they get to the root causes of why criminal behavior occurs? Do they actually do more harm than good?

The last of us an incredible gaming experience always makes me question what would people choose. In this game you play a man who lost his daughter at the beginning of the apocalypse zombie like creatures are running around humanity is on its last leg. After your daughter dies 20 years go by your tasked with escorting this young girl across country she about the age of your daughter when she died apparently this girl is immune to the virus turning people into zombies and the people your escorting her too can use her to make a cure for humanity only thing is making this cure will kill the girl but you don’t find this out till you’ve already got her there. At this point you’ve doesn’t months together trying to get her to these guys and in the end this what the girl feels she’s needs to do and given the options she’d most likely give her life to make the cure.
In the game the guy you play as despite knowing this chooses to save this girls life and doesn’t end up telling her what really happens since she was on anesthesia being prepped for surgery to see if they could make a cure.

What would you have done save her life even though your fucking over humanity and most likely going against what the girl would want if given the choice. And do you tell her the truth about what happened?

Or don’t save her and let her die to save humanity? And in both these situation the girl doesn’t know she’s dying to make the cure but if you choose to save her you do have the option to let her choose and ultimately let her die.

Me personally I’d save her it may be a selfish choice but wtf has humanity ever done for me that I should Scarface my happiness to save them. Most of my pains in life have been caused by other humans selfishness and shitty behavior.

Who do you think cares about popularity more? Men or women? And not just caring about being popular, but caring about people who are.

Now, for all EU countries (and more countries on the list they made public), you need to get a permit to enter the UK even for a vacation! And it costs £10 to apply for it. Some electronic online bulls... permit.

Seems to me annoying to say the least. Not sure what is behind this move. I hope that if they don't want certain people to enter the UK then they get some balls and announce blatantly in their faces the exclusion of those specific undesirable and unwelcome subjects. Not hide like cowards behind a blanket rule that affects everyone to curb their nausea and their headaches.
