  Meanwhile I just got into retrogaming (as a PS1 kid) and I’m amazed by how… just all around better old games are, unless you want realistic graphics. You don’t need battle passes and daily quests to have an entertaining experience, just a d-pad and a couple of actions (one can be jump)

  I think our disagreement is that to you the law is unequivocally the effect of society’s will, while to me the law is simply what the government says it is.

  Ideologically we agree, and as an anarchist I believe that kind of truly society-driven rules can be achievable, especially on smaller scales. But when you’re an authority that can make new laws to make the illegal things legal, that’s where they diverge. It doesn’t matter if you do that like Nazi Germany or whatever the fuck Trump is doing, my original point was that it simply makes no sense to talk about whether they are doing is “legal” or “illegal” - the words just lose meaning, and to me it feels like putting faith in a system that is itself part of the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will they wake up before it's too late?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not following. I can see how “laws are society officially agreeing on what is ok”, but conviction and enforcement of those laws has nothing to do with society.

  I don’t see how society can officially agree, short of declaring the government illegitimate and starting a civil war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will they wake up before it's too late?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not saying he’s innocent in any way shape or form. I’m just saying that his actions being “illegal” has little meaning if the system can’t or won’t enforce the consequences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will they wake up before it's too late?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But society “officially” agreeing is morality, not law. What he has done and is doing is wrong and deserves punishment for that, not strictly because “it’s illegal”. The difference is demanding consequences vs relying on someone else to administer them.

  Shout out to Reticulum, I think it deserves a lot more attention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will they wake up before it's too late?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it kinda is. If something is illegal but you can’t be punished for it, what does it mean really?

  This is P R O P A G A N D A.

  Owner of a website either handpicks or creates messages that fit their narrative. But “it’s twitter” so it has to be voices of random people representing what they are thinking right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨really makes you think⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes indeed, you can perceive it but it’s not out of sensory stimulation - rather the lack thereof.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨really makes you think⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A concentration of what in what? The “taste” of water is the impurities, not the H2O itself

  Yes, combustion in both glass and joints is pretty inefficient at converting THCA to ∆9, and degrades a bunch of it to CBN and others. There’s a pretty thin section of material that gets heated to the right temperature, and quickly goes too hot when reached by the embers

  No AI or basic OCR would fail to recognize the words. Oldschool captchas have been inefficient at stopping bots for years now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Foot In The Door⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am sure there has to be some significance to this non-censor that is so common. Like a very thin line that doesn’t cover the word or a single dot that partly covers a single letter. Maybe seeing who complains to distinguish people and bots?

  It is for like 350 days a year yeah. Eating take out food in front of the TV/PC doesn’t count? There’s someone else sharing their experience of Brits just “eating” those liquid protein shakes every day, that seems pretty close too. Of course, cultures are not homogeneous, and you can find Italians that drink protein shakes and Norwegians that are really into cooking high-quality ingredients for others. I’m not sure if you were picturing a country where everyone eats pills or what

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, I never said it doesn’t. Just that it is not a centerpiece of the culture. The fact that Americans have a big Thanksgiving dinner once a year isn’t comparable to the approach that the French/Italian/Greek/most Asian cultures have towards food on a daily basis

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s several mentioned in this thread. Among them, Scandinavian countries, England and the US, and I don’t disagree
